DIVERSITY

Uniquely merging the Gospel with today’s hip-hop, Diversity has a sound that is destined to cause people to sit up and take notice. Diversity’s down to earth delivery of the gospel through practical everyday life makes the gospel relative and personable to the listener. With easy to understand and carefully crafted lyrics to encourage the listener, Diversity presents a message of hope and truth for people of all walks of life. Diversity’s new single “His Name Is What?!!/Roll On” has received rave reviews throughout the southeast and is quickly becoming a mainstay on urban gospel radio and its appeal has crossed into the secular market as well. Diversity is prepping the independent release of his second self-produced project in the fall/winter of 09’.
It is said that with God, “little is much” and Diversity is living proof that God will take what little you have and do great things with it. Diversity’s first project was recorded in a friend’s bedroom with an analog recorder and DR-5 drum machine at a time when he and his family were homeless. With virtually no radio air play he has sold thousands of cds, graced the same stage with artist such as John P. Kee, Deitrick Hadden, Keith “Wonder Boy” Johnson, James Bignon, and Rev. Timothy Flemming among others. He has also made guest appearances on projects for J-MAC and The InnerFaith Chorale and Voices of Faith Mass Choir, appeared on several TV shows, hosted a local gospel television show, has been featured in the newspaper and performed in events and churches throughout the southeast.
Since the age of 14 this Augusta, Georgia native has been on stage singing, rapping, beat-boxing and dancing. Diversity began his recording career in a secular rap group with aspirations to do big things in the music industry. However, just as doors of opportunity were opening, an encounter with God would change Diversity’s life forever. After realizing and accepting the call of God to proclaim the gospel, Diversity has been steadfast in his mission to bring light in a dark industry.
Diversity’s mission is to establish the message of the gospel to the masses with a main stream appeal. The prime objective is to reach a generation of people who have been bombarded with the negative messages and images of today’s music and combat that with messages of truth, hope and encouragement. Diversity also strives to establish Gospel rap/ hip-hop as a viable business genre in the music, entertainment and marketing industry.
