Band/artist history
I have 20 years of experience in writing and have written over 75 literary pieces: Over 50 songs: *(Urban gospel, Holy Hip-hop, & universal genres) originally written & composed. *1 published 7+ Fiction Stories for children, but also inspirational for adults. *1 published spoken form & 14+ unspoken form poems. My work reflects inspiration and self-discovery. I write with the purpose to motivate and initiate a new perspective in the minds and hearts of my readers and listeners. As an end result, they are delighted and enlightened. I've written for other family and friends giving me the opportunity to investigate the public response to my work long before going into society. 1986, I was the president of the youth committee of a local church, and was given an award for my efforts in 1988. I also served as a director of the youth choir of Bethel First Born Church in 1989. In year 2000, I started a 501c3 non-profit organization named RGM (Reveal Gospel Ministries). Its mission was to alleviate hardship, improve human welfare and to educate in preventive actions against drug, alcohol, and teen crisis through charitable and religious outreach ministries. While actively running the outreach, I've formed a contemporary gospel group that has participated and sung in many programs such as: *Aids Awareness 2000 *Youth & Family Conferences 2000 For nonprofit organizations like: *Christians Womens Encouragement Ministries (CWEM) *Mt. Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church *Trenton State College (Religious Functions) I have orchestrated and directed drama sketches dealing with prevention and intervention topics of which I taught and supervised teens and adults to perform before live audiences in the year 2000. Although, RGM now serves only as consulting source for teens, I plan to someday later build an outreach center.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
At the present, I just write lyrics & compose the melodies of songs...
Your musical influences
Albums: "Holy Hip-Hop..takin it to da streets" Rhythms of my Spirit..& those you know, just to name a few..."Flame" "Thesis" "The Incredible Walk by Phanatik" Worship: Ultimate Worship 1st Album Artists: Kirk Franklin, Donnie McKlurklin, Fred Hammond, Mary Mary, All of the Winans Family!
What equipment do you use?
I'm not a musician, but I compose the melodies to all my songs. I incorporate the rhythms in my head using the Triton Korg Pro
Anything else?
Let's hear from the phanatiks for Christ. And make some noise to those who press by faith, strive for patience, keepers of sincerity & trustworthiness, miners of obedience, hard working, and most of all... true believers in THE ONE..THE ONLY..JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD...Listen..GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOU!!!
