SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL http://www.youtube.com/RuQusS Speaking on and dealing with issues from suicide to domestic violence to abortion to sexual abuse and everything in between, RuQusS debut album “FAMILY PROBLEMS” WILL change your life. Regardless of what you are going through or what you believe, when the truth is spoken at the right time it is felt! Everybody has or has had a family. No matter who you are or how successful you get that is something that know one can run from. Growing up with or without that family can be the determining factor in how you live the rest of your life. Even the richest man in the world could have been abused as a child and through his success he is searching to fill that empty spot. RuQusS wants to give something that EVERYONE can relate to. And whether you want to admit it or not, YOU have FAMILY PROBLEMS. Coming from a kid who decided to deal with those problems, he found himself lost in this world. But always held onto the gift that god was building in him. This is when he learned not to GIVE UP but to GROW UP. After times of nonstop abuse and tragedy he always found himself alone and hurt with nothing but a pen and a pad. The years built as well as the songs and the person. And this album is what is left of it. But just as there is a lot of hurt there is beauty from all that pain. Dealing with it all builds pure love with those who stuck through it with you and in the end makes you who you are. Think about it, if RuQusS would not have gone through what he did than he would not have been able to relate to you! This album has some VERY emotional tracks, but also shows RuQusS upbeat sense of humor, as well as dealing with a love life lol. But most importantly it shows the transformation, growth, and healing that a relationship with Jesus Christ can build in anyone’s life. Here is more on RuQusS’ story, Growing up in an abusive home, it was real easy to go down the wrong path. Doing a 360-degree change was the hard part! My academic credentials put me in a position where I seem less than average. But, anyone who knows my story would strongly disagree. Coming from a family of eight without any support from a father, I have been put in a very unique role for my age. As a young boy, three of my siblings and I lived with my psychotic father. He was traumatically abusive which ultimately led my brother to hang himself in the shed. I was only in the sixth grade, but after that I didn’t care about school, family, or anything for that matter. Following the influences of my dead brother and abusive dad, I turned to sex, drugs, and alcohol. Which led to disciplinary actions at school as well as legal troubles. I was running the street, doing drugs with, degrading girls, running with the thugs I guess is the best way to put it etc etc… definitely nothing I’m proud of. But I was always freestyling in someones car or listening to beats on my cd player or writin about all that stuff. At this point my mom was still very male dependant and was letting my step-dad (who she has 4 kids with) cheat on her, and have no relationship with his kids because he was never home. There were times where she wouldn’t have sex with him so he wouldn’t buy us groceries for weeks. This was when everything I had ever seen and all that I knew changed. Desperately searching for hope, I than accepted Jesus Christ into my life. Since that day I’ve slowly dealt with a majority of my past and shattered my addictions. My mom and I eventually stood up to my step-dad. Once he was legally forced out of the house we couldn’t pay the bills. This was when I quit going to school and had to work full time to put some food on the table for the family. To my relief, the divorce is finally over and we are getting some child support. Although I’ve had horrible male influences in my life, I’m choosing to break that generational cycle. Now, I can proudly say that I am the righteous, loving man that my mom and siblings never had! Jesus Christ popped up in my life like pimples do to a 16 year old! I was so angry with god for allowing my brother to hang himself, my dad being a violent alcoholic, and my mom abandoning us for a new family, that I became god’s biggest threat. Addicted to sex, porn, marijuana, alcohol, and recently dove into crystal meth, I would run the streets picking fights and selling drugs just to escape the truth. As a very young boy, I had few good memories of my deceased brother. But I clearly remembered this time when we watched an Italian mob movie called the GoodFella’s and bonded. I was too young to understand what was going on in the movie, but I now see how god set this all up. One night when I was sixteen my mom and I went to Blockbuster to pick out a movie (this was very rare for us to spend time together). We decided on the GoodFella’s but the story quickly fades. I knew that I had plans to watch the movie that night but my addictions to the street and the drugs strongly pulled me away. Before the movie I went around the block and got so high that I didn’t know if I was even walking right anymore. I came in the house and she asked if I was still going to watch the movie. I couldn’t stand for her to see me this way and feel her pain so I said I was going to watch it in my room myself. It showed a drug dealing gangster’s reign to the top as well as his downfall when he lost it all. He than had to start his life from scratch. But by that time his life had past him. I thought to myself why wait my whole life and get to that point when I can just get it right now. It is now about three in the morning and I snuck out my window like I normally did. I had the drugs bagged up, money in hand, and my pipe in my pocket. I got halfway around the block and for the first time in my whole life I realized how empty I really was. I than looked to the sky and saw the brightest star ever but it was all alone. To this day I still think that star resembles me. At that moment I prayed for the first time since I was like 7! I asked for a miracle. But nothing happened. I began to cry and was contemplating suicide just as my brother did. I was so hopeless and empty and finally layed down all my addictions through this prayer to god, but saw nothing. So what is there to live for! I began walking back down the street back to my room and I tried to slam my pipe to the ground but my arm couldn’t get the strength. It started to shake and something was pulling it down. I took a couple more steps and god gave me the strength! It felt like that pipe shattered into a million pieces when it hit the concrete. I through the drugs away in some ladies dumpster and began to cry hysterically. I dragged myself back through my window and to my room. And to my surprise there was a bible on the corner of my bed! My older sister had bought it for me a few months prior and I never saw it again until this night! Everyone was asleep and I still to this day can’t explain how that bible got there. I fell to my knees and said if you are real and this is what you want me to do than show me something. I closed my eyes opened that book and it spoke to me about feeling hopeless and now that I am fighting the good fight my life will become so much better. It also painted a picture of what hell is like and how if I continue my life on this path that is where I will end up. It felt like everything that ever happened disappeared and I started all over! Since that day I’ve personally grown in Christ so many ways that I can’t even explain. I broke my cigarette and drug addiction, as well as sex and alcohol. I’ve gained peace, which removed my hate and anger. And most importantly I live to fulfill his purpose for my life not my own! I had been praying that god use me in a way where I can affect as many people as possible. Also I asked that he use be able to use me with all my gifts not just limited to one aspect of my life. I just want to be able to get as many people as I can say yes to Jesus Christ and whatever god calls me to do in order to do that, I definitely pursue. Whether I am pulling people in through my music, my story, or just letting god speak through me, it does not matter. My personal objectives are to show the world what has created me to do, through music, and inspire anyone I can as well as give them hope through my story and god’s changes in me. I’ve been the rock to the whole family and since there hasn’t been any father present for a long time I am not only big brother but also dad and sometimes Doctor Phil lol. Sometimes it causes resentment from certain people in the family because it gets hard to adjust to those roles. But when everyone’s hearts are out on the table they would all say that this is definitely something I need to pursue. They support my desire for my music career 100 percent because they know I will be happy while helping other people for Christ. Currently I am going from church to performing my own music and sharing my testimony, built a very professional recording studio & have started this ministry. (PLAN B MINISTRIES)I have been doing music a long time and have a lot to offer anyone who will listen. In the midst of all these things, I’ve managed to get my GED in only two months. After a rough two years of work, music, and some college I am finally on my own journeying further toward the bigger picture. As i build the new and tear down the old i realized it's not what you give but what you give up. Losing my heart was something I knew I had to deal with. So after dropping my classes I began a Men’s Group at Vanguard Church based on the book “Wild At Heart” by John Eldridge. This gave me the Strength I needed to let go and move forward. As I really dove into some issues in my life I began my latest project… RuQusS Relationship. With everything from Acoustic Guitar to Justin Timberlake Pop, this album has it all. Musically it is a huge jump and the process growing from a boy to a man is highlighted. Learning to Trust God through a one on one personal Relationship and gaining the strength and wisdom to fight for the hearts of others through your own relationship is something I felt God could use to change the world. This became my heart for this album. To inspire the hearts of others and redeem what has been broken through Relationship with God and Others. The music just reflects that. I’m currently finishing up the album and trying to get through school. Finances have become a dilemma. Please find it in your heart to support this ministry and possibly help me get through school. As I work full time, produce music, and go to school I truly appreciate any help and support. Thanks for listening and I am excited to see where God takes me next. God Bless You!
