CMD

My name is CJ Wills, I was born and raised in the wild streets of Baltimore Maryland--so the name CMD is simple to undestand. Cj from MD.

Music is my life. I started really developing a love for music at the age of 7, singing in the church choir. Through the years I developed a love for all genres of music, recognizing the beauty in all forms. Through vocal training and personal influences, I practiced singing on a regular basis. Daily-imitating the likes of Stevie Wonder, Musiq Soulchild, Donell Jones, Glenn Lewis, and Fred Hammond.
In 2003 we moved to Arizona due to my dad being in the Air Force.
After a while of singing on the Praise team at my church, and eventually leading praise and worship, I was singing all the time, and growing spiritually simultaneously. In June of 2006, I recieved my liscense to Minister.
In early 2007, a friend of mine told me I should rap with him--at this point all I had done was sing. I tried rap, it came out pretty good (we recorded "The HItlist"). Ever since then, my style of rap and singing have been intertwined to make a unique and bold stlye of spreading the gospel. I call this boldness "rockstar"-pretty much saying I would do anything to any extent to represent the Kingdom of God 100%.
I produce currently for many local artists in AZ, and in Georgia.
Over time I have developed a resume for myself, singing back up for many gospel artists such as Mary Mary, William Murphy, Rock Nation, Rod Lumkin, Benita Washington, Kirk Franklin, Brent Jones & the TP Mobb, and an opportunity to sing backup for Mariah Carey.

Music is my life. If my life does not include music, I feel lost. I represent the Kingdom of God with everything I do, having fun with it at the same time. I am CMD, and with God as my witness, I will take the gospel hip hop industry by Storm!
