All my life I've had a love and passion for music, as I'm sure most do as well but as I came into my teenage years it grew into more and I stared to exercise the talent that was placed in me. So I formed a group with my 2 cousins and we started writing songs, at that time we didn't take it seriously and just wrote songs to be comical, we created a myspace page which was cool back then and posted up our music, we received a good amount of plays but never pursued anything. I then moved to PA where I started going to a church where alot of the youth had musical talent. I befriended 2 sisters that were leaders in the worship team but also had a reggaeton trio put together. They spoke to me about there ministry and I told them I had some interest in making music as well so we started working together along with another cousin of mine, collaborating on music and set up some shows. I remember the very first show was in front of maybe 30 people during our church youth group, the kids took really well to the song I brought, and we got ready for our next show 2 days later. This time it was a show at a local high school, instead of 30 people in the crowd there were hundreds! We performed and though my nerves got the best of me that night the sisters brought the house down! Our next show was the very next day at a town fair, we took the stage and the crowd came, we performed and the response was great, it's funny cause after the show we went out to eat and I told the group Im never doing this again!! Little did I know what God had in store for me, after being in a few more groups I was lead to start a career as a solo artist. I never expected much to come out of this, but I have always been a dreamer and I knew God could take the little I had and make it into something. 4 years later its 2012 and I Man Of FAITH am in the most beautiful season of my life. No I don't have everything I want or even need, but I have the promises of God and I can say Im truly blessed. Who could have thought that I would be seeing my dream become more and more true every single day. That the same one who almost quit after only 3 shows has gone on to performing in front of thousands more. That my very first release got me nominated for an award and has set me up to release my 2nd mixtape in the near future while working on my debut album at the same time. Let me tell you God is good and Faithful. What he promises he completes and though what I've experienced in my career hasn't been anything near what the Lord told me, it gives me hope for what's to come and I believe I will see it all come to pass in my life. God has placed an amazing team of people and supporters around me and there's no where to go but up. If you have a dream don' let it go, God made you in his image and he placed in you your dreams and the ability to pursue them. It's not easy, it's not always fun but it's worth it. Go for it! Be encouraged ,take your gifts and talents and move into the place God has for you, forget your situation and know that The Lords plans for you are greater than where your at right now all you have to do to get there is believe and move!!
