Sons of Thunder

Nate Deezy (Rapper/Artist) and K-dub (Producer) founded the band Sons of Thunder ENT November 2010. The two however, have been producing Nate Deezy’s solo projects over the past few years under the name Legit Beatz Productions, which include an album entitled “Another Poor College Kid”, a 25 song mixtape called “Truth On Some Nonsense”, and an originally produced music video to the single “I’m In The Sky”.
The name “Sons of Thunder” refers to the disciples James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were noted as being called sons of thunder (Mark 3:17). The account in Mark 10:35-44 shows their incredible boldness and foolishness in asking to sit at Jesus’ right and left hand in glory. With the same boldness K-dub and Nate Deezy are set on asking the Lord for the heart of they’re generation to turn to Jesus. By the grace of God, it is their commission to use music and entertainment in such a way that glorifies Jesus Christ and will reach the hearts of those who need healing, deliverance, and Salvation. Their ministry to the church is to equip and disciple. Their ministry to a non-believing world is to love and bring reconciliation.

K-dub

Kevin Walter aka K-dub is a 19 year-old college student who was accepted into Berklee College of Music in Boston with a scholarship for Jazz Composition and Music Production. Due to the price of tuition, however, he stayed in his home state, Ohio, and began attending Tri-C for their jazz and music production programs, because of the schools close partnership with Berklee. His initial love for music started in 6th grade when he took a trip to New York City and fell in love with jazz. He began learning piano from his grandfather, Don Walter, throughout his youth, and learned drums from age 13 from great drummers such as George Lawrence, Carl Allen, and Gregg Bissonette. Once meeting Nate Deezy, his musical abilities spread into Hip-hop, rap and contemporary mainstream music. Once the Lord took hold of him, the music he produced took on higher quality as his passion for glorifying Jesus became his focus. He has two loving parents Kenneth and Patricia Walter and a sister named Kylie. He also plans to mary his girlfriend, of one and a half years, Brittany Niger, in the near furture.

Nate Deezy

Nate Slaughter aka Nate Deezy is a 19 year-old college student who attends Tri-C, in Cleveland OH, and majors in Recording Arts and Technology. Music and ministry have always been in his DNA. His Father Ross Slaughter studied classical Piano and went on to seminary and is now a Pastor, his mother, Sheila Slaughter, also has a degree in music and is now a music therapist. He has a sister, Jessica Slaughter, who is a middle school teacher in the Houston area. Nate also has a wonderful girlfriend named Shelby Cox. The two have been together for three and a half years and plan on getting married sometime in the near future.
Nate wrote his first rap song at the age of 10 for a church talent show and has been in love with that style of music ever since. There were periods of his life where he would stop rapping, and question whether the whole thing was just a phase. But the Lord would continually bring it back into his life until finally he began taking music seriously at age 16 during his Junior year of high school. The following year he went on to partner up with Kevin Walter aka K-dub. That year instead of just playing on the school drumline together, they began to produce their own music. Now they focus on making music that God can use to ignite a passion for Christ in this generation.

JeffyK

Jeff Kuelling aka JeffyK is the media specialist. He's been like a brother to Kevin and Nate for many years. Jeff handles all live show media, as well as photo shoots and blogs. At smaller venues he engineers and operates the lighting for their show set. You won't see him on stage or hear him in the booth, but the work he does with Sons of Thunder is appreciated and goes deeper then music. Jeff provides accountability, intercessory prayer, and most importantly is a partner in all the ministry that takes place "off the stage." The three are on the leadership of a ministry called Resurrection Night, which is a worship service for College age/highschool students, in Cuyahoga Falls, Oh (in the Akron Area).

• Deezy raps for Jesus at Friday Night Jam [+ Show ]
  

  "The lights were low, the music was loud and the students were excited for the first Friday Night Ja..."The lights were low, the music was loud and the students were excited for the first Friday Night Jam this past weekend, featuring student rapper Nate Deezy and opener Dane Mallernee...."
  
  "The main attraction for the night was Deezy – stage name of sophomore music production major Nate Slaughter – who said that his goals for the night were to impact people and get them excited about God.
  “I’m just an average musician. I don’t have the gift of speaking, I’m just an excitable guy and my job is to stir up people through music for God. I’m here to take off my mask,” said Deezy."
  Following the more laid-back, acoustic show came a much different performance by Deezy, who ran on stage to the sound of a pounding bass. He immediately started rapping about God’s love, people’s unworthiness and what a true relationship with God means.
  
  Deezy has been writing hip hop/rap music ever since he was 10, but seriously picked it up about two years ago. He recently released an album called Another Poor College Kid, in the midst of filming a music video for his single “In the Sky” and recently played a show opening for popular Christian rapper Trip Lee.
  
  It was one of the first times that one of Deezy’s performances included a full band, including Jacob Shar on guitar, K-Dub (Kevin Walter) on drums, Andy Haas on bass, Judah (Derrik Willis), KC Carter and special guest Tamayra with vocals.
  
  Towards the end of the performance the band left the stage and Deezy gave his testimony in his song “My Story.” Following the song the music was shut off and Deezy asked the audience to sit down as he and drummer Walters gave their testimonies.
  
  “I just want to show you guys how disgusting of a person I am and how amazing God is,” Deezy said. After the testimonies, Mallernee joined the stage again to lead worship.
  
  Britta Miller, junior double major in business administration and bible and theology, attended the show and commented on the spiritual impact the show had on her.
  
  “I think a lot is going to be happening on this campus this year, and God is letting everyone use their passion to glorify Him and it’s a beautiful thing,” she said.
  
  Miller saw Deezy perform last year at the talent show and said the difference in him and his music from then to now can only be explained by God. “He is taking his music and anything that can be taken to idolize himself and turning it into glory for God,” Miller said
