Antonio's goal is to uplift and encourage every listener through the word of his testimony put to song. His desire is that by his testimony individuals will overcome and be compelled to seek after a deeper relationship with God. His purpose over all is to see people lives changed and their hearts turned to Jesus Christ. For many years Antonio has used words as a means to escape many life challenges. Often they were put in the form of Poetry and placed in a journal. Antonio never thought that he'd have the opportunity to share his words with audiences. However, when Antonio started serving God he naturally gravitated towards Ministry in the form of Poetry. Later, Antonio would use his writing skills to develop songs. Although he's always had a love for music and knowledge of his musical talent, he never considered that writing and performing music would be something he would pursue. However, because of his relationship with Jesus Christ and development of his gift, Antonio is confident that he's been called to inspire people through his music. Antonio's story began July 24, 1983 in Baltimore Maryland where he was born. At birth his mother had custody of him but by the age of 2 the courts awarded his father full custody of him. However, when Antonio was young his father became addicted to drugs which resulted in Antonio's instability as a child. Likewise, his mother became addicted to drugs and over dosed when Antonio was 14 year old. Eventually his fathers drug abuse led to Antonio being awarded to the courts until he was 21. While having to cope with the death of his mother and abandonment by his father, Antonio came up against many negative influences and experiences as he was bounced between foster homes, shelters and group homes. Inspite of Antonio's unfortunate circumstances, he developed a personal relationship with Jesus Christ at an early age. Antonio strongly believes that during his younger years a seed was planted in him by God to do His will. However, as a young adult Antonio turned from God and began to indulge in an ungodly lifestyle, but God's grace and mercy sustained Antonio and bought him back to a place where God could complete the work that He started in him. Although Antonio's still overcoming obstacles, its apparent to Antonio that the hand of God is on his life. In this season of Antonio's life he no longer sees his past experiences as stumbling blocks but rather a testimony. He now sees how God has taken the negative experiences he's overcame and turned them into something that will eventually bless others. Antonio is called to do a great work in the Kingdom and making music that will uplift and encourage people is just one of the many works Antonio believes he's called to do. For Antonio it's not just about making good music, but it's about spreading a message of hope. Its about letting people know, despite things you've done and been through, God's able to change anything and anyone for His glory. Antonio is affirmed in his belief that ALL things will work together for the GOOD of them who Love the Lord and who are called according to His purpose.
