In 2005, God guided two young men to each other, watering the seeds that were sown in both of them at birth… Sending them down a path, that would be filled with trials, tribulations, and unthinkable temptations. Two very different individuals with different skills sets, and ways of thinking, brought together to ascertain their purpose in life. To act as a guide, with wisdom believed to be given by God, to those who are seeking out, either consciously or subconsciously, their path through life. The name, Edifide, is not a statement of accomplishment or achievement; but more so a never-ending goal. No matter a person’s culture, race, religion, or creed; Edifide’s purpose is to offer whatever they can to help that person edify themselves.

Jason “Maxx” Miller (on the left) formerly went by the stage name “N-Sane.” The name actually came from earlier in Jason’s life, when he was the co-owner of an independent wrestling entertainment company called the YWA (Youth Wrestling Association). The name “Maxx” came from his childhood when he played little league football. Now-a-days most people just call him Maxx. Maxx grew up in a non-denominational church in Charlotte, NC. Ever since he could walk and talk, the church inspired and encouraged him to sing and play instruments. The pastor of the church told him, “God gave you these gifts, and you will use them to spread His word.” Throughout his childhood, Maxx lived in an inner city neighborhood, constantly surrounded by gang violence, drugs, and anything else that comes with the stereotype.

Dale Helms (on the right) formerly went by the stage name “Malyse.” This was the name Dale went by before he started his music career. As a teenager in junior high, Dale wrote lyrics that were inspired by the world around him. Because the lyrics he wrote were a reflection of his surroundings, naturally, his name became a reflection of his lyrics. Dale grew up in a southern Baptist church in Indian Trail, NC. He first sang with his father, a southern gospel singer, in the church at a young age. Dale was a member of the church’s youth group until the youth minister moved away. In an attempt to continue the youth program, the group held youth events where Dale performed hip-hop for the first time. Unfortunately, the events were not enough to keep the group going, and that sent Dale down a darker, rebellious, road.

In some of the darkest times, in their lives, God cleared a path for Maxx and Dale to find each other. They realized that the seed planted years ago, was not only still alive but, had been nurtured by the light of God all these years. They found that, through music and their God-given talents, they could share this light with others; in an attempt to nurture other sown seeds that people have forgotten. Given the nature of their surroundings at the time, they knew if they tried preaching to their friends, in a traditional manner, they would not get a word in edge-wise. So they decided to employ style that they, and their peers, were accustomed to. So they began releasing a series of albums titled with chapter numbers. The albums are chapters of a book called “The Green Orb.”

The essence of Edifide’s message is Truth, Knowledge, Faith, and Respect. They feel that the practice of these four things will assist anyone with their edification. Yes, both Maxx and Dale are Christians; however they do not believe that forcing their religious beliefs on others is fair or right. Edifide encourages their listeners to take what they hear, and apply it to their own lives the way they need to.
