Fuzed Gospel

Seriously, I am a young man from a Plainfield, in a state called New Jersey. I received my bachelors from a phenomenal institution by the name of The College of New Jersey (TCNJ). I am now pursuing my Masters in Entertainment Business at yet another phenomenal institution: Full Sail University. I have always been a man of the Gospel...singing since 9, and always attempting to tell someone about Jesus...now a days I am seeking out ways to build upon my passion for the Gospel...Gospel Music that is.

Gospel music as we know it has become more than just church hymns but has expanded to include: Urban Worship, Rock, Contemporary, etc... reaching millions of different people worldwide. Recognizing these various sounds birthed the concert theme Fusion of the Genres which being the president of a Gospel United, a college organization, I helped introduce this concept to the TCNJ campus two years ago. This past years Fusion concept had the focus: A Love Defined. This expansion is something that my friends and I felt would highlight the fact that through different expressions and experiences, we have all encountered the love of God. As each artist and each individual shares that love experience, we get the full scope of love and it becomes "A Love Defined."

Well how does this apply to what I am doing now, well since i graduated from undergrad, I want to take this Fusion concept to a whole new level. A level that bridges together "Artists of the Faith" from various genre's within Gospel Music. I find that there is a growing trend of a generation seeking to express themselves, be creative, be fresh, relevant, while at the same time holding strong to their faith. Faith being a sketchy topic these days and even coined "uncool," hinders a rising generation and potential interests from even wanting to consider wearing faith on their sleeve. There are avenues that showcase different artists, but none on the level where they seamlessly blend various sounds together on one platform or even harness the creativity an artist has to offer.

This Fusion concept is my offer of an alternative, to where sketchiness is thrown out the window, relevancy is ushered to the forefront, and creativeness is boldly seen...all while professing Faith, and a passion to show the Love of Christ. Even in the midst of all that, I want this concept to also show how faith is a one stop solution in not suffering or struggling as humans, but a key asset in providing a solution to get through life's wave of circumstances. This does seem like a high mountain to climb, but from what I've experienced and the passion that is brewing within me...makes the mountain worth the climb...
