Standing in the four winds of the earth is me Apostle Jeff calling sinners to repentance. I have committed myself to minister through rap music in a world that seeks deliverance. I am a husband and father of two beautiful children. There is a certain level of credibility as a Christian artist and I am fully prepared to embrace the call on my life. From childhood abuse, to having addictive behavior I have testimonies that can reach the weak hearted on many levels and ages. My call is to preach to the world that the Kingdom of God is Near. I would like to consider myself like an end time John the Baptist. Knowing the life and message John preached, I am mentally prepared to withstand the same persecution as he did to deliver the message of Christs return.

Your musical influences
When I was growing up I sent most of my time listening to older soulful songs. I was raised under Foster Care and went through a lot of heartbreaking challenges. I was depressed and isolated and needed something or someone to speak to me on the level I was on at that time. People like Phyllis Hyman, Minnie Ripperton, Tina Marie and Stevie Wonder help me get through those trebling times and near suicides.
What equipment do you use?
Don't play. Always wanted to learn the drums but never had the opportunity.
Anything else?
