About Me

I'm a new, local, Gospel Artist from B'ham, AL. Really tryin to be used by God and Him only! and if that can't happen, I just wanna be saved man! you can keep all this li'l STUFF man! I could care less, I just don't want to be left behind! But since I'm passin through this land, might as well do the work of the Lord! I've been lovin music since the Beginning(cause God had me in mind way back then). I really want to create a new sound as my friend Marcus( the surgeon) stated better than I did! I'm not up for a whole lot of wild stuff that conflicts with the spirit of God! It can be a wild experience and still intact with God! Trust me! I'm striving to live Holy, and pleasing in God's sight! I'm the "real Saved" I'm not perfect yet! I will b tho, when that same spirit Quicken my mortal body I shall be Changed! ahh!! yes In a moment ! In the twinkling of an eye! I thank God, I thank God, I thank God! Love y'all! Even the souls of you I don't know! Hope y'all will hear my music and we can praise Him together Soon ! But if I don't see u here I'll meet U in the Rapture! May God Bless, Mike J.
