I can also play and sing other popular songs as ambient atmospheric music for events. I am also a professional drummer and can sub in at the drop of a hat for any worship set for drums if needed as long as a set is available.

I am comfortable in all situations and am able to flow with whatever situation is happening. I am also a public speaker/teacher and I love to bring revelation and enlightenment about God to any size crowd and to magnify God's goodness and to bring attention to His presence. My main agenda is to bring attention to His Love and presence and invite His presence and help people to let go of their anxiety in order to truly worship Jesus. I would love the opportunity to invite people for personal 1 on 1 prayer who want to experience God's Kingdom, healing power, and deliverance.
I am willing and capable of adapting to different roles or environments depending on the need.
Born in 1984 and I am currently 37 years old even though it looks like I'm in my 20s. I was born and raised in Chicago NW side near Harlem Irving Plaza Mall. Was raised in the Christian Faith since I was born. I started playing guitar in 7th grade and was self-taught motivated by the songs I was hearing in my head that I wanted to create. I learned bar chords, power chords, and drop D styles but I never ventured into solo-electric lead guitar style because I primarily wanted to sing and play songs. I Had my wayward experience between 2002 when I graduated high school and about 2008. During this period, I started playing the drums, also teaching myself, and I became so addicted to playing drums that for the first month of having them I spent about 3-4 hours a day on them for 5 days a week. My approach was to make an mp3 cd with over 100 of my favorite songs and just play it through trying to match the song's drumbeats over and over until I was able to play them beat for beat. After doing this for 30 days, suddenly, a De Paul college freshman garage rock band (Alternative/Progressive) across the street that suddenly broke up was looking for a drummer which my friend Marcin told me about. I was like, "yes of course I will try out". So they tried me out and liked my now 1-month-old skills and that was the beginning of the crazy train ride of the next 4.5 years in which we played almost every minor and major music venue in Chicago minus the "Metro" and "House of Blues". Well, drugs became an issue toward the end of that 4 years and eventually it caused our band to break up. I wallowed in continuing worldliness and partying for the next 2 years from 2006 to 2008 until I became sick of sin and worldliness at which point I didn't want to live anymore. At this point (Jesus) God stepped back into my life when I was in the middle of Garbage Land and He reminded of all His promises He had spoken to me. At that moment I gave Him my life and will completely and He began moving me in Very powerful ways. He started using me to speak to people who were suffering and He eventually delivered my from all my crutches and addictions including cigarettes(Thank You Jesus!!)
I moved out to Rockford about that time((phone number hidden)9) with my immediate family and immediately posted in Guitar Center Bulletin board, "New Drummer in Town - Call me for band". I got called by a group of Guys who were into Metal and were looking for a Metal drummer. Well I was excited since I never played metal before but I was confident enough in my skill that I could learn and adapt to the music so I bought a double kick and that started the next 1.5 years of my drumming adventure in which we played many venues in Rockford, IL. Their finances became an issue and the band eventually could not stick together.
After (phone number hidden)1 I began walking more strongly with Jesus when a christian brother came to live with us we began discipling each other and going everywhere led by the Holy Spirit to minister and pray for people. It was about this time that I started seeing God do miracles when praying for peoples healing in Jesus' name.
This was also the time that I had a physical encounter with the Glory and presence of God at the end of a 3-day fast while I was driving on I-90 to Chicago I was baptized in the Holy Spirit directly by Jesus Himself without any other man there. I had never experienced such a mind-blowing encounter like that before. It was a powerful physical and soulful experience. It was like space tore and Gods Living Water started flooding into the Jeep Wrangler I was driving. When it touched me it was a super intense vibration that eventually spread over my whole body and I couldn't even think of what to pray or worship anymore since that what I was doing prior to this occuring. It was literally shaking me but it was such a beautiful cleansing an filling experience. I was ultimately thankful to God for giving that to me.
A couple years after that I met my, now wife Brooke, when visiting in Chicago while she was attending College there. I started serving on the worship team at a local Church in Rockford as a drummer and then later as a guitar/singer worship leader and continued to do that for about 3 years. During that time I got connected to a Christian Metal band called Golgotha who was looking for band members so I started playing drums for them and we played together for a couple years until them moved away from Rockford 1 hour south to Lasalle, Peru which was too much of a weekly travel time for practice, but Steve the Singer and Guitarist of Golgotha remains as one of my most beloved brothers in the Lord and he recently started a church in Mendota, IL called Love Church and it is Awesome. Lots of Powerful things happening there.
Speeding forward to January 3rd, 2021 God gave me a dream of the Apocalypse where people were running and terrified and I was yelling to them telling them Jesus is the answer but people were not listening to me and I God revealed to me why. It was because I was still living a life of compromise and my life did not match my message. I woke up at that moment and Jesus immediate said to me, "If you want to walk with Me in Power, you must start now." I became terrified feeling like I was being given an ultimatum and a 1 time opportunity and I was not willing to give up the chance to walk with Jesus in True Divine Power which I had dreamed about for so long so I immediately said, "Yes Lord, I will sacrifice everything that I know is not your will at this very moment. Please tell me 1 thing you want me to give up and I will do it this moment, no questions asked." That morning I became a new man and I dedicated my mornings to prayer and worship and reading the bible leaning on he Holy Spirit to walk in the Spirit throughout the day.
In the 3rd week of January 2021 I experienced the first clearly recognized miracle when praying for my then girlfriend Brooke's neck and wrist who got instantly healed when I prayed. I was amazed and excited. Then God instantly healed our customer Karen from severe back pain and issues when we laid hands on her and we had the honor of praying for her to receive he baptism of the Holy Spirit! We became so excited about the miraculous power of Jesus that was remaining present in our lives that we started going everywhere and to many different churches just so that we could pray for peoples miraculous healing as they were leaving and we saw Jesus heal hundreds of people taking away peoples arthritis, giving people new knee cartilage, and spinal discs. It has been amazing ever since. Presently we are 1.5 years since that time and God is doing amazing things. I am now leading worship at many events and continue to have the opportunity to pray for peoples healing, and casting out many demons, and leading people into repentance and being filled with Gods Holy Spirit! Call me and lets do this!
I have my own audio equipment for a small-medium setup. Any additional information will require a conversation.
Any and all Christian-oriented songs. I can learn a song within 24 hours. Even rock or contemporary songs like "Switchfoot" or "For King and Country" and many others. I love playing and learning them all.

a sturdy music stand would be nice but not necessary, however I do need a power outlet if amplification is desired.
