AR BASE BIOGRAPHY Hope. One word envelops the very essence of award winning singer-songwriter AR Base. Soulfully intertwining Gospel, R&B, Hip-Hop, and Worship, this man is on a medical mission to inject his music with the healing word of God, into a dark and hurting world.  Appealing across racial, cultural, and socio-economic statuses, audiences from around the world are being drawn to Base’s poignant harmonies, captivating melodies, and thirst quenching messages of hope for real life’s issues. “My message to people,” he elaborates, “is to not give up on God, not give up on you, not give up on anything or anyone that God wants you to hold on to.” AR Base, originally named for his deep, bass like voice, once despised and almost gave up on the very vocal instrument that he now sees has become his gift and strength.  To him, his name is now a reminder that God can take base things in your life, and make them work together for good.   Writing songs since the age of seven, AR Base still remembers how his gift first began by writing catchy melodies to memorize facts for school.  “I didn’t realize it was a talent, but God kept on calling and pushing me to my destiny,” he recollects.  AR’s call to ministry began at the early age of fifteen, when he worked as an evangelist boldly preaching sermons whenever he got a chance, even on public buses.  Eventually, he began a church and was leading a full time ministry for several years thereafter.  It was from these humble beginnings, that AR Base was able to gain experience as a praise and worship leader, eventually leading him to noteworthy appearances singing at major churches, radio stations, and was featured on television shows such as “The Dream.” Among his accolades, was having the honor of singing behind Gospel giants such as Patty LaBelle, Marvin Winans, Beverly Crawford, and Shirley Cesar and many more.   Having released his latest album, Love Worship, AR Base’s music now plays on radio stations nationwide.  His life-giving messages of victory, faith, and hope in God breathe a fresh new perspective into this collection of inspirational songs. From the prayerful melody, “Give Me Peace,” which gives voice to cries for breakthrough, to the banging beats of an urban anthem entitled, “Replica,” which calls to embracing your identity in Christ, AR Base’s lyrical content and musical diversity cuts through to both mind and spirit.  Looking ahead, AR Base’s future looks bright, as he hopes to continue spreading the word through his music and ministry. “I intend to bring people’s hearts back to God, and reach people all over the world by cutting across cultures and breaking down barriers,” he explains. With a new album on the way, AR’s commitment to awakening hope in God is relentless. “I write my songs for everyone. The downtrodden, people who have fallen or given up. I want them to succeed in every area of their lives, so they can lay aside the weights that are holding them back and run the race before them.” Some Press items below: “Praise in the Fire by AR Base, I love that song” “You have some phenomenal songs on the Love Worship Cd” On Linda Lou’s Morning Show K-75AM, Marrero, LA Linda Lou Program Director K-75 AM Marrero, LA “Your track “I Need a Miracle Now” blessed me so much and it still lingers on” “Your Love Worship Cd is a blessing to my soul” On Andy Archers’s Strictly Gospel Show 89.3 FM Detroit, MI Andy Archer Programm Director WHFR 89.3FM “I Need a Miracle Now By AR Base Oh!
