Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the spirit of God; they are the sons of God. SOG Ministries is based out of Anaheim, Ca, and is an international ministry that specializes in developing Hip Hop oriented evangelistic literature, developing discipleship materials, and training leaders. SOG Ministries is an outreach that focuses on feeding and clothing many communities in Orange County and Mexico. Visiting many youth in youth correctional facilities, and is an umbrella for many missionaries in Mexico. Preaching the word of God through Hip Hop to a lost generation. We have been called to prepare Gods people fully for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ. To give light to all men, to help people understand there calling and destiny. We also aspire to erect many urban learning centers in the Southern California area as a future phase of our ministry. These are just a few of our many goals and strategic plans in order to present the gospel of Jesus Christ to a world affected by a Hip Hop culture. SOG CREW RBRTORNELAS@AOL.COM
Band/artist history
Robert: I met Johnny (Rush AKA Revolutionary) through the local hip hop scene and hit it off. I just liked his style and character. I met Yvette (Shine) at a youth revival in Bakersfield and tripped out how this girl could just flow on the mike. We exchanged information and kept in touch and have rocked hundreds of shows together. I think that we are past just being a group. We are family. It's a trip because through out the years, my family and there familles have come together as one
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Robert: Yes, we perform live events. We do revivals, concerts, night clubs, jails, schools. I would have to say that they all have been special moments. It's not just the shows, but the preparation before we get up there. So much goes on that we have to block everyone and everything out to focus on the true purpose of us going up there. It's the prayer and the unity that we share and the confidence in God that sticks out the most.
Your musical influences
Robert: I grew up listening to a variety of music. Doors, Zeppelin,Pink Floyd, Beatles, NWA, Ice Cube. Growing up I listened to it all. The ones that effected my life were people like Bob Marly, TuPac, Sublime. Our Music is kind of on the original tip. We are on a mission to just have fun and make music that we enjoy. We pass our mixed tapes through our camp to see what's up. If we feel it, we take it further.
What equipment do you use?
Robert: As for recording we use Reason software for the beats and Pro tools for tracking and mix downs. We use Wave Diamond for mastering.
Anything else?
Robert: I just want to encourage everyone out there that is considering taking there music to a higher level. Please seek Jesus first. Don't worry about how you are going to do things financially, or how can you be involved in a hip hop group. Don't even try to do it like everyone else. When you seek God first there comes a grace upon you that opens every door that know man can shut. When you desire God before your wants and desires He blesses you with the blueprint on what exactly He wants you to do and how to do it. In reality, if you seek first everything else you can be limiting your self. When you do it God's way he gives you creativity from heaven so that you don't sound like everyone else. He'll give you the lyrics that millions of people need to hear around the world for encouragement and hope.
