Room 212 is a place of doubt, fear and pain; but, it's also a place of hope, mercy , peace and the grace of God. You see, Room 212 is the place where my son who was eleven at the time lie in a coma for almost a month after being hit by a car going 50 miles per hour three years ago. After he came out of the coma, he began to tell us how he went to heaven and saw Jesus and his grandpa after the car hit him. He had to relearn how to walk, talk, eat, read, etc... it's been three years and now he's playing drums live with our band! God is good!
Room 212 is two dads and two sons. We combine the old and the new in a way that seems to work pretty well for us. Our prayer is that our music will be an encouragement through all the hard times and difficulties in life and through the times of rejoicing as well.
God bless, much love,
David L. Herring

Band/artist history
Mark Turner and I have been recording together for the last ten years. We did our first song which was a Spanish language Gospel rap in 1995. Mark does the music and I do the lyrics and Mark sings on the chorus on quite a few songs. It's a formula that works pretty well for us. In the past my son would rap on several songs with me. We were a Christian rap duo that went by the name F4G and CC Now, we hav e my son DAvid Anthony on drums , and Mark's son Justin on guitars. It's a father and son thing, lol. Run DMC once said that you can rap to any kind of music. We're proving that as we branch out into heavy metal, rapcore, funk, acoustic pop, and even ethereal ambient music. All for the Glory of God.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Well, Justin is not here right now; he's in college on the North West Coast freezin' his fingers off ( he's a guitarist, lol); Anyway, hopefully this summer when he's back we will be hitting some concerts and coffee houses. I just performed solo at Christian Edge in Lacoochee, FL last night. We will probably be doin' a concert there with the band and a fill in bass guitarist soon. ( Robbie are you reading this , lol). When my son and I did hip hop together we performed in Florida, Alabama and North carolina.
Your musical influences
We are a band of two generations and bring together a lot of varied influences.

Peace in Christ!
I'm doing a survey, please let me know if my new song 'Media Monster' makes you mad and why.
Came in and rocked out. Keep praising God with your music, keep up the good work.
Hi,
Just listened to "Help me believe again!" and loved it. It depicts a point that almost every Christian reaches at least once in life. God bless.
