About Me
Chris Forehand was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1968. Educated in Jefferson County Public Schools, he excelled at football and loved the game. He found that he could use his talent to get things from people who wanted to use him to further their own careers. Coaches courted him with favors and he soon began to use the system to get things to go his way. Chris soon began to enjoy the good things that life had to offer and he didn't have to pay a cent for it. He was soon to discover that every thing has a price.Early in his life Chris discovered that he had a talent for rhyming words. At the age of 13 he began to write rap songs and to sing them in the the neighborhood. He rapped at block parties when he was too young to be allowed to perform in clubs. When he was older he began to rap with professionals. He opened concerts for Master P, LL Cool J, Kurtis Blow, Eight Ball, MJG, the late Notorious Big, Heavy D, and UTFO. The money was good, but not good enough.Drugs were easy to get and easy to sell. This was big money. This was the good life with a capital G. But, bullets don't see green. After getting shot in 1995 and spending almost three months in the hospital, Chris felt a calling on his life to enter the ministry and to preach the Gospel to all the lost sheep. However, he refused to answer that call. Instead, after he was released from the hospital, he developed and released a Gangster Rap Album entitled, Deal Gone Bad. In 1996 more than 800 copies of this album sold locally.Rap recordings, drugs, and theft kept Chris in the green and in the streets. After several run-ins with the law, he finally was not able to beat the rap for dealing drugs, theft, and being a persistent felon and ended up in prison for 6 years. It was there that Chris finally realized that the calling on his life was truly from God. He made a firm commitment to give his life to Christ.In 2000 Chris met and married Katrina Goatley, a young lady who had already dedicated her life to Christ. Together they worship the Lord in Spirit and in Truth. Chris is currently an Associate Minister of the Mt. Sinai A.O.H. Church of God.Chris is a Talent Recruiter for Louisville Youth Opportunity Network, owner of Beforehand Records, Father of two sons ans stepfather of another son and one daughter. Chris' ministry is heart-core Gospel dedicated to saving souls from Satan's hospital by ministering with Gospel Rap and Songs. Saved by the grace of the Most High God, he no longer prefers to be addressed as Chris. He chooses to be called Christopher because the Christ, which is in Christopher, is the reason that Chris was able to stop yielding himself to the god of this world. It is Christ who led him to his wife who has joined her hand to his. They walk together and God walks before them.Christopher M. Forehand
