Why this name?
It's my name. I can't really sum up myself any other way. It just sounds odd. Trust me, I've tried.
Do you play live?
Yes, I do play live. Many different churches, clubs, colleges, and coffee shops. I absolutely love it! I don't feel right doin' anything else.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
As long as it is in God's will. If God opens the door for that and points me that direction, then I'm ready.
Band History:
As a young Christian, both in spiritual and physical age, I knew that Christ sacrificed his life on the cross for my sins. However, I did not truly understand or see what it meant for my life. I didn?t know what kind of impact it would eventually have on the direction of my life. At eight years old, in a Southern Baptist church in Alabama, I felt a pull deep inside me. It felt as though my heart was being gripped by a hand, pulling me out of my pew. I walked slowly to the front where a man was waiting, as if just for me. I knew whatever was happening, I needed to be a part of it. He took me to another room and led me in the prayer of salvation. I thought I was the flyest kid on the block, telling everybody about this dude Jesus Christ and what he had done for me. Fast forward five years later, thirteen years old in Galveston, Texas.. While at a teen convention called ?Acquire the Fire?, my eyes were opened. I broke down under the powerful awe of God?s presence. That weekend God gave me the desire to get into youth ministry, immediately. For a thirteen year old, that is a large task. I didn?t see it that way. I had complete faith in what God had in store for me. As a result, I prayed constantly that God would present a place for me to work with youth. Well, the church I attended in Texas City was branching to Galveston. I saw the opportunity and went for it. I discussed with the pastor where God was leading me, and he was interested. So, at thirteen I became youth minister at Galveston Community Church. It was amazing! Meanwhile, God had more for me to explore, music. I began teaching myself to play the guitar. I loved it! Music brought so much to my life. It brought an outlet to my inner struggles with anger, bitterness, and excess energy that I didn?t know how to manage. I was angry at my father for coming around when I was eight, and leaving when I was twelve. ?Why was I not good enough??, was my thought. I was angry for stepfathers not sticking around, and the one that did for not believing in me. Bitter that my love, no matter how much, would not conquer their lack of. I had these feelings along with so many others. I knew that music would be my way of allowing the strength of Jesus Christ to help me do all things. One year later, I attended a Wednesday night service at ?The Door Christian Center? in Galveston with Prince De?Vshon Day, my co-minister. That night we played in their worship band. We had previously talked about starting a band, so this was awesome. After attending, some few weeks later, the pastor offered us their Saturday night to do with as we pleased. Hence, we started a band called ?Soular?, and began ?Saturday Night J.A.M.?; free food, praise and worship, along with a short message at the end. We became one of the largest youth ministries in Galveston. During that time, these gentlemen visited, and asked if they could perform. They said that they free-styled for Christ. I thought this was an awesome concept because I loved hip-hop and rap, but I wasn?t satisfied with mainstream music. That night God put it in my heart to start rapping for Christ. Very serious about this new venture, I told my mother that for Christmas I wanted software to make instrumentals. I didn?t want anything else. Needless to say, that?s all I got for Christmas. If my mother had not believed in what God was doing with my life, I wouldn?t be here today. Another year later, fifteen years old, I was performing all throughout Galveston County. Our group was called ?G-Town Missionaries(GTM)?. My mother was always there for me with prayer and help. Then, one afternoon, she mentioned to me that we should make a CD. I agreed, but I knew that would cost a lot of money we didn?t have. After more prayer, my mother decided she would pay for it. Incredible! How awesome is she? She believed in us so much. We worked out of Conch Tunes Studio with James Agrella in Galveston. We worked, on and off, for an entire year to the finished product, TL Productions presents: G-Town Missionaries, ?Philippians 4:13 - The Truth?s Out?. What an experience, to have accomplished the goals God was setting before us. We kept going until we had to go our separate ways. Prince went to college, and I moved to Houston because of family issues. I was still ministering on my own quite successfully until I went to college at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. Long story short, I lost my mind. The summer leading up to college I didn?t prepare myself mentally or spiritually. I spent my summer wrapped up in a girl that I allowed to become my world. I loved her more than anything else, and she had replaced God in my life. The lack of God in our relationship slowly destroyed every bit of my spiritual foundation. The entire time I spent at college was an out of body experience. It was as if I was watching myself act and do things that I didn?t want to do. I was not myself at all. I knew that Christ was there, but I didn?t understand why I couldn?t stop what I was doing. Eventually, through persistent reading of God?s word and constant prayer, God brought me out of my circle of sin. I was able to see my future with Christ again. I went back to ministry, just serving in church as a sound guy. I tagged along to an event in Texas City called ?Texas City Break Down?. There I ran into S.O.M., Tre9, and Von Won. I knew Tre9 and S.O.M. from previous encounters, but this was the first time I met Von Won. He was intimidating at first. I had no clue how important he would become to what God had planned for me. Through performances and ministry meetings, our relationship grew; we shared our vision of where this ministry could go, and joined forces. What makes us so strong, is that we believe in what God has for the both of us. When I came home from college, God told me that if I went back to full time ministry that I would get signed in a year. Exactly one year later, Von offered to take me under his wing, then shortly after, officially signed me to Southern Xposure Entertainment. Now, it?s straight grind mentality. We have ?Reel Talk TV? every Saturday night in Houston, ?Sheep in Wolves Clothing? movement, Reeltalk.org and much more. God has always kept his promises even though I have not. If there is one thing to take from my life, it would be: Christ never stops, we do. So, don?t stop letting Christ work in your life. Do not put Him in a box, and carry Him around. Let Him carry you.
