Manuel experienced a glamorous life and many individuals were envious of his accomplishments. This life style seemed to be a success, but tragedy struck and Manuel was the victim of a violent shooting. This shooting nearly took his life, but God had something else on his agenda for Manuel to partake in. God has now instilled in Manuel's spirit "Bound 4 Glory Records". Manuel now vows to save souls and to glorify God in mind, body, soul and spirit through Bound 4 Glory Records.
