Pacaso
Anthony Ramirez, otherwise
known as “Pacaso Ramirez” fell in
love with Hip Hop music at the age
of 6, when he found an LL Cool J &
Beastie Boys mixtape in his
parent’s tape collection. He picked
up rapping at the age of 8. By the
time he was in middle school, he
was already winning school talent
shows, and being invited to perform
at school dances. Music took over
his life, and led him down a real
dark road that led to creating music
that was borderline murderous,
slanderous and blasphemous. At
the age of 24, being prompted by
the Holy Spirit, he gave his life to
the Lord Jesus Christ, and began
changing the way he approached
music. He started to view each
song as mini sermons, and started
using his voice as a vessel to bring
God Glory by speaking to people about practical living that pleases God. Since the age of 24,
Pacaso has gone through a lot of life changing transformations that have cleansed his lips from
cursing, cleansed his heart from hate and un-forgiveness, and has given him the ability to
spread hope to all who are willing to listen. Now, at the age of 33, he has been renewed, re-
deemed, and transformed and feels that God is just getting started with him, and that by the end
of his life, he will reach more people through the good news of Jesus Christ, than he would of
ever reached with just music alone. As he continues to walk out this musical journey in his life,
he feels that he is in the mist of a mature prime musically and spiritually, and is continuing to
grow. Pacaso is on a mission to be effective locally as well as globally not through just music,
but through teaching, through serving, through meeting the needs of people as God sees fit. He
feels music is just a platform to open the door to people’s hearts.

Dour Productionz Music Group
(D)our (P)roductionz (M)usic (G)roup DPMG home to founders and brothers MaRRLLy and DATBOYDAMIAN. Their
deep musical roots spring forth from a family of musicians, singers and music lovers. Marrlly, the eldest of the brothers is
a prolific songwriter, producer and engineer. He got his start when his parents bought him two turntables from a local
mall in NJ when he was just 13. After his father noticed the natural talent, he started to DJ parties on the weekend mak-
ing extra income as a teen. He would soon go off to college and the military where he left his little brother all the equip-
ment. While MaRRLLy was away,DATBOYDAMIAN, was learning the ropes to turntablism. Looping, recording and chop-
ping samples. In turn DATBOYDAMIAN started producing and rapping. When MaRRLLy returned from war, the brothers
decided to form a music group. They called it Dour which is slang for “the best marijuana”. Both brothers felt this potency
was symbolic of their music. Since 2013 they have been producing and recording with several artists and collaborating
with other producers. Their sound can be described as soulful, raw edge, and futuristic, deriving from the east coast and
down south flavor. Their music is also described as a mix of east coast sampling with downsouth drums. If you haven't
heard of them individually or together as Dour Productionz Music Group you will soon, as they make their way up the
ranks. They are currently seeking a label home that can help them develop and implement existing strategies to go
global with an undeniably authentic and great sound.

Metanoiz is a Hip Hop duo that consists of twin brothers, Kevin and Kenny Santiago. Their whole
lives they grew up in the small town of Tobyhanna, PA in the Pocono Mountains. For many years
as kids, these brothers loved to perform various acts in front of family. They had stage presence
from the start. They were always surrounded by multiple genres of music, from 50’s Doo-Wops to
90’s Hip Hop. They had an ear for music since they were toddlers and developed a fond love for
everything that was music. Quickly fast forward to age nine (9), the Santiago brothers began writing
and decided to create the entity “Double Trouble”. They wrote their first song, which blew up in their
local church. This was the same age that they were introduced to the famous man who has affect-
ed their lives and music forever; Jesus. Their performances had been talked about numerous times
and created uproar in their community. By age 14, Double Trouble was featured on the front of their
local paper for a parade performance and also won a television contest in New York City. By the
time they were 15, Double Trouble already made an impact, doing over 50 performances, including
performances in New York and California. They instantly made themselves a name. A year later,
Kevin and Kenny thought of their new name during a high school class together: Metanoiz. The
term derived from the original word “metanoia”, meaning “new”. However, the twin rappers also re-
alized that “meta” in Greek means “beyond”. They removed the “a” out of “metanoia” and added a
“z” to create the name “Metanoiz” which ultimately meant “beyond noise”. From the change of their
name, Metanoiz went on to share the stage with the likes of Rev Run, Grammy nominated artist,
FLAME, DJ Hollywood, and more. Metanoiz still resides in the beautiful mountains of the Poconos
and plan to stay there to build their record label in their hometown. They also plan to get their city
on the map for not only Hip Hop, but also music as a whole.

important decisions. But this song was
very different. I just wanted to have fun
and express all the characters I never
express in real life. Usually, I'm the
serious observer type. Privately, I'm
very goofy and expressive. I wanted to
let some of that side out in my art.”
“Dirty Ballerina is a high energy pop song that forces you to dance! The beat was given to me anonymously and when I heard
it, there was so much fire in it that I had to write lyrics for it,” said Princess. The infusion of Pop music with Japanese culture
and hip-hop undertones create a fast moving melody that is sure to get the party rocking in any situation. Princess Fortier com-
mented, “In the studio, this Harajuku character kept coming out during the recording session, so I just went with it. She forces
you to giggle and dance. This woman is bold and daring. She goes after whatever she wants with reckless abandon and has a
blast doing it!” The Harajuku character is brought to life in the single’s new music video.
Princess Fortier is currently available for booking and portion of her musical proceeds always go to charity. The mission state-
ment on her website gives insight on her passion to somehow feed every hungry individual in the world for a year. Her belief is
that if people have their basic needs met (i.e. food, water and shelter), they can be free to reach for their dreams, and become
the highest version of themselves. To this end, she has partnered with various charitable organizations to meet the needs that
are all too evident in today’s world. Princess Fortier commented, “I envision a world where not just a few, but everyone gets to
be their highest selves.” A brilliant and talented vocal artist with a passion to make a lasting impact on the world? Yes, that is
Princess Fortier.

Se’von
Son of a soldier, Se’von moved around much
of his childhood, finally settling in Detroit in the
middle class suburb of Mount Clemens, Michi-
gan. Dodging dealers, boosters, and
thugs, Se’von managed to run in the streets
without allowing them to determine who he
would become. In a single parent home, the
temptations of the hood began to get the best
of him; so to avoid ruining his life he turned to
music. During the 2004 Rapvibe Summit in
Chicago, Se’von wowed an audience of artists
and industry executives, producers and pro-
moters; in a showcase that would catapult his
name into the mouths and ears of some of the
most well-known industry heads in the game.
Back home at the Detroit Hip-Hop Music
Awards, Se’von was nominated for “Best Male
Artist” and for several years afterwards he re-
ceived repeated nominations.
Se’von encompasses the thoughts, feelings,
struggles and ideals of people of all back-
grounds by fusing hip hop, 80’s rock, and pow-
er-chord R&B. With a relocation to Atlanta
Georgia, Se’von was faced with the challenge
of standing out as a rising star in the middle of
a major music mecca; Se’von responded to
that challenge by writing for mulit-platinum acts
life Case, Tony Terry, and Lyfe Jennings. He followed that up with starring in his own episode of the BET hit reality
show “HELL DATE”, and he did not stop there. Soon after that landing a major licensing deal with Turner Broadcasting for
the 2012 NBA playoffs for his hit song “Long Road’. Se’von became the 2013 Georgia Music Awards Winner for “Best Male
Hip Hop Artist”! Se’von is currently nominated for the 2015 Ga Music Awards as well as for “Album of the Year” for the SEA
Awards (2015). With a veteran stage presence, Se’von leaves the audience looking on their favorite music download
sites and the shelves of their favorite music stores for his face. He is currently seeking a label home for his music that can
provide the promotion, marketing and distribution he needs to go global with his movement. Sure to be the next superstar,
his arrival into mainstream is already highly anticipated.
New release is "Can't live my life"

Everett Hagans
Since he was a child music has been a major part of Everett's life. The first experi-
ences included, seeing his father play electric guitar at church and his brother
playing piano at home. These two experiences over the years was just enough to
spark a rather aggressive desire for learning. Shortly after Everett was placed in
private piano lessons were his true love for learning shined brighter than most of
his classmates. Even though he started later than most, his desire to learn was
ever present. This passion for learning allowed him to surpass those that started
piano before him and started him playing more advanced music. Unlike most boys
his age, Everett never showed any interest in any sports, music was his only focus
and has remained his focus up until now. Music has allowed him to work in many
different areas such as weddings, funerals, bands and churches etc. Over the past
few years Everett has submerged himself in learning every aspect needed to become a successful Music Producer and Au-
dio Engineer. After obtaining the necessary skills, he created a Music Production company which allowed him to unlock his
hidden creativity in music. His company has created an avenue for Gospel and Inspirational artist to come and release musi-
cal endeavors. Everett is a strong believer that "Anything is Musically Possible" and can be created by leaning on an idea,
running with the vision, trusting your outcome and standing with the results. Through every step, Hagans Productions will be
there guiding your feet. If you choose us, your music will truly be unique.

My name is Eric Lamart Holland II and I have
been singing ever since I was ten years old. I grad-
uated from Tallwood High School with an Advance
Diploma. I went to Tidewater Community College
for a while but stopped to work two jobs. I am cur-
rently working at Dunkin Donuts and Rite Aid. The
thing that I really want to do in life is to pursue my
dreams in singing, if I could accomplish my goals
by singing it would definitely help me and my family.
Since I was ten years old I sung old Motown songs
my mom used to play on the radio and since then I
trained myself how to sing by trying to sing the
words exactly how the artist sang it. I have always
been inspired by Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke and
all of the other Motown singers, but in today’s music
I have been inspired by Chris Brown, Trey Songz
and Usher. I have never sung in Church or took
vocal lessons, I just sang on the streets around my
neighborhood. I was told I sounded so good that
people that I didn’t even know would come to me
and ask me to sing for them. Soon I found myself
singing in school, on the bus, on the streets and
even now at my job. I really do not have many
achievements, but if I could pursue my goals in
singing that would really be one of the greatest
achievements ever. One day while working at an
Manufacturing Company I looked on my phone for
other jobs because in my mind I knew working
there was nothing I wanted to do for the rest of my life so I went on Craigslist and I came across my Manager Bernice Den-
ise Watkin’s ad online stating that she was a manager in talent and so I contacted her and she wanted a demo or some-
thing to prove that I had what it took to keep her interest and make her want to work with me. I had nothing at the time, but
that did not stop me, so I sang (I believe I can fly) to her over the phone and right then she loved my voice and now I work
with her to this very day and became one of her favorite R&B artist. Bernice knew about my passion so she wanted to help
me any way she could. We went to New York, and now I have a single called (It’s On) out which she put on ITunes. I really
like this song because it has a beat to it where you can party with it in the clubs and blast it in your car, but still has that
nice R&B vibe to it. I have always liked old Motown songs, but the songs today I like R&B and Hip Hop combined. I don’t
really rap but the songs that I want to sing are the songs I want people to hear and treat as if it were a rap song but still
have that R&B to it. I really hope I can get to travel and make money to support not only myself, but my family and every-
one that helped support and helped me make it as well and maybe become one of the biggest singers of all time.

Chicago as Vicious V the Medusa a.k.a Versace V. I want
to be the voice of strong women who can not only do what
men can do but do it better Past Experiences, and Accom-
plishments: I started out as a battle rapper, so I still go to
competitions around the city of Chicago from the Rap Fac-
tory to Café Lora competing which is lucrative for me be-
cause I’ve never lost so I’m the undefeated champ when it
comes to battling. My song Pop’d B**ch produced by
Young Chop did over 220,000 views on World Star. I also
received an interview on 92.3 the hottest station in Chicago
for hip hop where they premiered Pop’d B**ch. currently the
song receives air play when they do the Chicago mix. Sev-
eral DJ’s have played Pop’d in the club and featured it on
their mix tapes which includes the popular DJ V-Dubb. Also
a female version of “Actin up” got a heavy response from
many DJ’s around the city.. Several deals have been of-
fered but I haven’t come across the right situation yet. I
recently performed at the Def Jam’s showcase at Adria-

Aaron Williams (H.I.M) was born in Neu-Ulm Germany in 1986 while his father was in the army. Growing up as a pastor’s kid was
ruff on Aaron. He found himself having to be the bad kid in school to stop from being teased by the other kids. For some reason
Aaron was drawn to stealing, and over time he started to become good at it. He went from stealing small things to eventually over
time robbing stores. When Aaron hit 18 years old he robbed a store and was soon after caught and arrested. After serving a little
over 5 years in prison for his crime Aaron came home with a new focus and a new gift that he discovered while incarcer-
ated...WRITING MUSIC. Aaron new that he wanted a wife and kids before it was all over, but he wanted to start his kids off on the
right path from the start. So he decided to have a serious conversation with the Creator. He told God that if he was real he needed
HIS guidance and for HIM to let Aaron know that HE was really up there. Aaron told God that he would use his new found gift of
writing music and singing/rapping to raise Gods name higher if HE would just assure him that he was real. And God did just that!
Since then Aaron, better known as H.I.M, which stands for "He’s In Me", (Greater is He that's in us than he that's in the world 1 John
4:4) has made it his mission to introduce as many as possible to the God who has given him the peace of mind and freedom that he
now has. It has been about 5 years since that serious prayer and God is with him to this very day. His style is not as traditional as
most gospel artist. He takes pride in stepping out of the box to get the gospel to everyone. Take a listen to this artist....trust me you'll
be glad that you did!

Let me introduce myself. I’m Philadelphia gospel recording
artist E. L. Williams. The music world is not a novelty to me. I
became attracted to music at age four, listing to my mother
singing gospel music around the home. The family attended
Metropolitan Baptist Church; shortly we moved from 615 N.
34th
. Street to 4075 Market Street and joined another church.
We also opened for Mr. B.B. King at the Wonder Garden in
Atlantic City New Jersey, and many other professional per-
formers, also making many appearances on ABC/TV Chan-
nel 6 Variety Club Telethon. Becoming tired of perform-
ing for a few years in the night club scene; and now, empty
inside I recalled my mother’s advice and returned to the
church, pursuing my roots in gospel music. While in pursuit
of my solo career I formed my record label titled,” JEHOVAH-
JIREH RECORDINGS” and became the first artist to record
on the label, it was a cover song titled “He’s Been Faith-
ful.” Although I received no funds the song soared and ap-
peared on the Billboard charts.

lina and raised with music all around
him. Whether it was singing in church
or with family, he enjoyed being on
stage. While performing in Edinbourgh
Scotland at the young age of 17, he
took his musical vision to another lev-
el. In college he quickly drew a fan
base amongst his peers. After this,
Steve started to build a reputation for
being musically gifted whether through
free styling on the open mic circuit,
scatting in various jazz venues in differ-
ent states, or performing acappella in

performance at the Nuyorican Poets
Café, Steven Frazier has been an artist
to look out for, mesmerizing the audi-
ence with his smooth melodies and
harmonics, it’s always a pleasure see-
ing him perform at the venue.”
Since performing in New York, Steve has built on that momentum to perform in a series of shows in North
Carolina and collaborating with some of the best local rappers and singers in the game.
He continues to travel to develop and gain new experiences. Whether its the familiar streets of New York and
Philadelphia, the always summer South Beach, Miami, or something a little closer to home like Charlotte and
Asheville, NC, Steve is always finding inspiration for his projects to come. He is steadily building his song cat-
alogue and wooing fans along the way. He is gearing up to take the Neo Soul scene by surprise in 2015.
Steve’s vision is to change the industry with his sound. “It is a different sound. I know that, my fans know that
and respect that. I want to open the door for others with a different sound.”
Steve’s positive outlook and his undeterred drive is an inspiration for artists. “The reason I am breathing is to
make music. The best is yet to come.”

From the mind of JPlane, “It’s easy to say you want it all but if there is no such thing as something for nothing then how much can you
give before it's taken enough. numbers are infinite so keep going up take flight thousands of miles away go millions if you can stand it
there is one thing I know and that's treat thy neighbors as thy self so respect is given then if it's returned than you have loyalty. Re-
spect is earned not given so providing that you have a stance to make a calling to for fill provided that and your life will reflect that
love. God is Love and the closest thing to Godliness is when you’re with a female. I take it from the top to the bottom all in's and out
will come and you will bond on a level never thought how you control that power of man and women is incomparable your created in
Gods image dominion over all creatures with tongue as strong as a sword dominion masters of Elegance and Beauty incomparable in
many respects. Being at one with self will put you in "Shoes" only you can fill where you choose to take them after that is between you
and the Lord.” #FlightCheck #JPlane305

Michael Moore, also known by stage alias Mike Mo, was born in Los Angeles, California in 1990 on July 15th. When he was 3
months old, he and his mother moved to the Southwest side of Houston, Texas where freedom was abundant; but problems al-
ways stood near. His hardworking single mother tried to create a comfortable home life for him, but it was not as well as it
seemed. The strain of constantly moving, alcohol, drugs, fights, and the thought of not knowing his biological father led Mike to
find security in the streets.
By the sixth grade, he was in a local clique called K.I.G (Keepin It Gangsta), but when he entered ninth grade he transitioned his
mindset to a gang banging mentality, which later led to his initiation and participation as a Blood. At the age of 14, he represented
well for his set, but had developed an interest in football that seemed to keep him out of trouble and in positive environments.
Because of his desire for community and belonging, Football didn’t rescue him from the streets completely, so he returned to the
lifestyle that he knew.
Financial unrest uprooted Mike and his mother to his mother’s hometown Kansas City, Missouri, where he began a new life
amongst family he had never met. As he began adjusting to a new living arrangement, he soon realized he would not return to
Houston to live the life he thought was for him. This was a defining moment in his life that when asked about the experience, he
responded: “ When I moved to KC, they didn’t gangbang like we banged in the SWAT ya feel me; so all that bangin slowed down
a lot, and I was more focused on sports, then all of sudden, I started messing around with music, and haven’t left it alone since.”
Mike started his sophomore year of high school at Hickman Mills Senior High. He graduated in 2008 with four scholarships to play
football, but had a splurging passion for music, because it served as an emotional outlet. Because of his passion for music, he
turned down the scholarships to play football to pursue his passion for music. He later married his high school sweetheart on
April 14, 2009, and moved to Atlanta soon after to pursue a new life with his wife and Hip-Hop dream. On August 4th, 2009, a
baby girl was born to the Moore’s, giving Mike another rush of motivation. Now, serving faithfully in his church, Christ Temple of
Atlanta, with a mindset determined for success, he is enhancing his creativity by producing music from his soul that is relatable and
real. Mike Mo is definitely someone to watch out for!

  • 12. Ka Lia, a rising female artist who resides in St. Paul, Minnesota and has aspirations of becoming the next big thing. At 14 years old, in 2010, she shared a video of herself singing on Facebook and discovered that people found her voice extremely appealing. She then began to compose music on the piano, guitar, ukulele, and write meaningful songs that people could relate to. She first started off by recording videos on her brother’s webcam and sharing them on YouTube. In her Freshman year of High School, she competed in her schools Talent Show and did a cover mashup on the guitar, successfully taking second place. During her sophomore year in High School, she competed in another on of her school’s singing competitions and dominated, taking first place. Her musical growth was evident.

  • 20. Pacaso Anthony Ramirez, otherwise known as “Pacaso Ramirez” fell in love with Hip Hop music at the age of 6, when he found an LL Cool J & Beastie Boys mixtape in his parent’s tape collection. He picked up rapping at the age of 8. By the time he was in middle school, he was already winning school talent shows, and being invited to perform at school dances. Music took over his life, and led him down a real dark road that led to creating music that was borderline murderous, slanderous and blasphemous. At the age of 24, being prompted by the Holy Spirit, he gave his life to the Lord Jesus Christ, and began changing the way he approached music. He started to view each song as mini sermons, and started using his voice as a vessel to bring God Glory by speaking to people about practical living that pleases God. Since the age of 24, Pacaso has gone through a lot of life changing transformations that have cleansed his lips from cursing, cleansed his heart from hate and un-forgiveness, and has given him the ability to spread hope to all who are willing to listen. Now, at the age of 33, he has been renewed, re- deemed, and transformed and feels that God is just getting started with him, and that by the end of his life, he will reach more people through the good news of Jesus Christ, than he would of ever reached with just music alone. As he continues to walk out this musical journey in his life, he feels that he is in the mist of a mature prime musically and spiritually, and is continuing to grow. Pacaso is on a mission to be effective locally as well as globally not through just music, but through teaching, through serving, through meeting the needs of people as God sees fit. He feels music is just a platform to open the door to people’s hearts. Music: http:/ / w w w .blood-related.com/pacaso-ramirez/

He would soon go off to college and the military where he left his little brother all the equip- ment. While MaRRLLy was away,DATBOYDAMIAN, was learning the ropes to turntablism. Looping, recording and chop- ping samples. In turn DATBOYDAMIAN started producing and rapping. When MaRRLLy returned from war, the brothers decided to form a music group.

Since 2013 they have been producing and recording with several artists and collaborating with other producers. Their sound can be described as soulful, raw edge, and futuristic, deriving from the east coast and down south flavor. Their music is also described as a mix of east coast sampling with downsouth drums.

  • 33. Metanoiz is a Hip Hop duo that consists of twin brothers, Kevin and Kenny Santiago. Their whole lives they grew up in the small town of Tobyhanna, PA in the Pocono Mountains. For many years as kids, these brothers loved to perform various acts in front of family. They had stage presence from the start. They were always surrounded by multiple genres of music, from 50’s Doo-Wops to 90’s Hip Hop. They had an ear for music since they were toddlers and developed a fond love for everything that was music. Quickly fast forward to age nine (9), the Santiago brothers began writing and decided to create the entity “Double Trouble”. They wrote their first song, which blew up in their local church. This was the same age that they were introduced to the famous man who has affect- ed their lives and music forever; Jesus. Their performances had been talked about numerous times and created uproar in their community. By age 14, Double Trouble was featured on the front of their local paper for a parade performance and also won a television contest in New York City. By the time they were 15, Double Trouble already made an impact, doing over 50 performances, including performances in New York and California. They instantly made themselves a name. A year later, Kevin and Kenny thought of their new name during a high school class together: Metanoiz. The term derived from the original word “metanoia”, meaning “new”. However, the twin rappers also re- alized that “meta” in Greek means “beyond”. They removed the “a” out of “metanoia” and added a “z” to create the name “Metanoiz” which ultimately meant “beyond noise”. From the change of their name, Metanoiz went on to share the stage with the likes of Rev Run, Grammy nominated artist, FLAME, DJ Hollywood, and more. Metanoiz still resides in the beautiful mountains of the Poconos and plan to stay there to build their record label in their hometown. They also plan to get their city on the map for not only Hip Hop, but also music as a whole.

This 23 year old artist shines as a singer, songwriter, scientist, linguist, actress, model, and philanthropist who is dedicated to us- ing her talent and knowledge to heal the world. Hailing from Stockton, CA, her creole roots inspired her to pursue the study of the French language. Her fascination with the intricacies of the human brain led her to earn degrees in both Neuroscience and French from UCLA. Her academic achievements are matched only by her vocal prow- ess. The musical talents of this young starlet are showcased in the infectious hit entitled “Dirty Ballerina,” Princess’ debut single. This feel-good party song has many industry insiders checking her out. In a recent interview, Princess commented, “I generally write lyrics that have a deep and profound mean- ing to me. My songs are normally about things like overcoming obsta- cles; forgiving others and handling important decisions. But this song was very different. I just wanted to have fun and express all the characters I never express in real life. Usually, I'm the serious observer type. Privately, I'm very goofy and expressive. I wanted to let some of that side out in my art.” “Dirty Ballerina is a high energy pop song that forces you to dance! The beat was given to me anonymously and when I heard it, there was so much fire in it that I had to write lyrics for it,” said Princess. The infusion of Pop music with Japanese culture and hip-hop undertones create a fast moving melody that is sure to get the party rocking in any situation. Princess Fortier com- mented, “In the studio, this Harajuku character kept coming out during the recording session, so I just went with it. She forces you to giggle and dance. This woman is bold and daring. She goes after whatever she wants with reckless abandon and has a blast doing it!” The Harajuku character is brought to life in the single’s new music video. Princess Fortier is currently available for booking and portion of her musical proceeds always go to charity. The mission state- ment on her website gives insight on her passion to somehow feed every hungry individual in the world for a year. Her belief is that if people have their basic needs met (i.e. food, water and shelter), they can be free to reach for their dreams, and become the highest version of themselves. To this end, she has partnered with various charitable organizations to meet the needs that are all too evident in today’s world. Princess Fortier commented, “I envision a world where not just a few, but everyone gets to be their highest selves.” A brilliant and talented vocal artist with a passion to make a lasting impact on the world? Yes, that is Princess Fortier. Music: https://youtu.be/5T6NLTTHaQ8 Email: princess4ta@gmail.com

  • 63. My name is Eric Lamart Holland II and I have been singing ever since I was ten years old. I grad- uated from Tallwood High School with an Advance Diploma. I went to Tidewater Community College for a while but stopped to work two jobs. I am cur- rently working at Dunkin Donuts and Rite Aid. The thing that I really want to do in life is to pursue my dreams in singing, if I could accomplish my goals by singing it would definitely help me and my family. Since I was ten years old I sung old Motown songs my mom used to play on the radio and since then I trained myself how to sing by trying to sing the words exactly how the artist sang it. I have always been inspired by Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke and all of the other Motown singers, but in today’s music I have been inspired by Chris Brown, Trey Songz and Usher. I have never sung in Church or took vocal lessons, I just sang on the streets around my neighborhood. I was told I sounded so good that people that I didn’t even know would come to me and ask me to sing for them. Soon I found myself singing in school, on the bus, on the streets and even now at my job. I really do not have many achievements, but if I could pursue my goals in singing that would really be one of the greatest achievements ever. One day while working at an Manufacturing Company I looked on my phone for other jobs because in my mind I knew working there was nothing I wanted to do for the rest of my life so I went on Craigslist and I came across my Manager Bernice Den- ise Watkin’s ad online stating that she was a manager in talent and so I contacted her and she wanted a demo or some- thing to prove that I had what it took to keep her interest and make her want to work with me. I had nothing at the time, but that did not stop me, so I sang (I believe I can fly) to her over the phone and right then she loved my voice and now I work with her to this very day and became one of her favorite R&B artist. Bernice knew about my passion so she wanted to help me any way she could. We went to New York, and now I have a single called (It’s On) out which she put on ITunes. I really like this song because it has a beat to it where you can party with it in the clubs and blast it in your car, but still has that nice R&B vibe to it. I have always liked old Motown songs, but the songs today I like R&B and Hip Hop combined. I don’t really rap but the songs that I want to sing are the songs I want people to hear and treat as if it were a rap song but still have that R&B to it. I really hope I can get to travel and make money to support not only myself, but my family and every- one that helped support and helped me make it as well and maybe become one of the biggest singers of all time.

Aaron told God that he would use his new found gift of writing music and singing/rapping to raise Gods name higher if HE would just assure him that he was real. And God did just that! Since then Aaron, better known as H.I.M, which stands for "He’s In Me", (Greater is He that's in us than he that's in the world 1 John 4:4) has made it his mission to introduce as many as possible to the God who has given him the peace of mind and freedom that he now has. It has been about 5 years since that serious prayer and God is with him to this very day. His style is not as traditional as most gospel artist. He takes pride in stepping out of the box to get the gospel to everyone. Take a listen to this artist....trust me you'll be glad that you did!

  • 67. Let me introduce myself. I’m Philadelphia gospel recording artist E. L. Williams. The music world is not a novelty to me. I became attracted to music at age four, listing to my mother singing gospel music around the home. The family attended Metropolitan Baptist Church; shortly we moved from 615 N. 34th . Street to 4075 Market Street and joined another church. We also opened for Mr. B.B. King at the Wonder Garden in Atlantic City New Jersey, and many other professional per- formers, also making many appearances on ABC/TV Chan- nel 6 Variety Club Telethon. Becoming tired of perform- ing for a few years in the night club scene; and now, empty inside I recalled my mother’s advice and returned to the church, pursuing my roots in gospel music. While in pursuit of my solo career I formed my record label titled,” JEHOVAH- JIREH RECORDINGS” and became the first artist to record on the label, it was a cover song titled “He’s Been Faith- ful.” Although I received no funds the song soared and ap- peared on the Billboard charts.

From the mind of JPlane, “It’s easy to say you want it all but if there is no such thing as something for nothing then how much can you give before it's taken enough. numbers are infinite so keep going up take flight thousands of miles away go millions if you can stand it there is one thing I know and that's treat thy neighbors as thy self so respect is given then if it's returned than you have loyalty. Re- spect is earned not given so providing that you have a stance to make a calling to for fill provided that and your life will reflect that love. God is Love and the closest thing to Godliness is when you’re with a female. I take it from the top to the bottom all in's and out will come and you will bond on a level never thought how you control that power of man and women is incomparable your created in Gods image dominion over all creatures with tongue as strong as a sword dominion masters of Elegance and Beauty incomparable in many respects.

  • 103. Michael Moore, also known by stage alias Mike Mo, was born in Los Angeles, California in 1990 on July 15th. When he was 3 months old, he and his mother moved to the Southwest side of Houston, Texas where freedom was abundant; but problems al- ways stood near. His hardworking single mother tried to create a comfortable home life for him, but it was not as well as it seemed. The strain of constantly moving, alcohol, drugs, fights, and the thought of not knowing his biological father led Mike to find security in the streets. By the sixth grade, he was in a local clique called K.I.G (Keepin It Gangsta), but when he entered ninth grade he transitioned his mindset to a gang banging mentality, which later led to his initiation and participation as a Blood. At the age of 14, he represented well for his set, but had developed an interest in football that seemed to keep him out of trouble and in positive environments. Because of his desire for community and belonging, Football didn’t rescue him from the streets completely, so he returned to the lifestyle that he knew. Financial unrest uprooted Mike and his mother to his mother’s hometown Kansas City, Missouri, where he began a new life amongst family he had never met. As he began adjusting to a new living arrangement, he soon realized he would not return to Houston to live the life he thought was for him. This was a defining moment in his life that when asked about the experience, he responded: “ When I moved to KC, they didn’t gangbang like we banged in the SWAT ya feel me; so all that bangin slowed down a lot, and I was more focused on sports, then all of sudden, I started messing around with music, and haven’t left it alone since.” Mike started his sophomore year of high school at Hickman Mills Senior High. He graduated in 2008 with four scholarships to play football, but had a splurging passion for music, because it served as an emotional outlet. Because of his passion for music, he turned down the scholarships to play football to pursue his passion for music. He later married his high school sweetheart on April 14, 2009, and moved to Atlanta soon after to pursue a new life with his wife and Hip-Hop dream. On August 4th, 2009, a baby girl was born to the Moore’s, giving Mike another rush of motivation. Now, serving faithfully in his church, Christ Temple of Atlanta, with a mindset determined for success, he is enhancing his creativity by producing music from his soul that is relatable and real. Mike Mo is definitely someone to watch out for! Music: https://www.reverbnation.com/irepmike Video: https://youtu.be/xcxWL4jJJjk Email: irepmike@gmail.com Phone: 404 889 5921
