There are deserts in the lives of men today; deserts of poverty and distress, deserts of pain and dissolution, and deserts of anger and fear. John the Baptist was called a forerunner. He was named "a voice of one"; a voice of one calling in the desert telling his listeners to prepare the way and make straight the path for the Lord.

Today, there is a new forerunner with the same name and the same heart, to prepare the way and make straight the path for the Lord. For in the deserts of sin and deception, there is still one crying out to youth everywhere. His name is John Wesley Moorer a.k.a., John the Baptist.

Moorer's unique blend of RAP and Caribbean propels him into the periphery of the urban youth culture without dissociating him from the traditional and contemporary music that anyone can enjoy. Since the tender age of five, Moorer has had a wide variety of influences, drawing musical inspiration from contrasting genres like gospel, soul, hip hop, and some from his immediate family rooted in Nassau, Bahamas and Cuba. Those influences become brilliantly alive in his music, fusing his veteran rhyming skills with tight beats and ingenious producing.

Prior to coming to the Lord in 1994, Moorer had lived a "colorful" life and could hold his own amongst many of the disenfranchised youth of his time. After growing weary as a sinner, John had a personal encounter with the Lord that changed his life and shifted his focus personally and musically. Because of his troubled past, Moorer is able to reach youth with a troubled present and destroy the yokes of bondage through music, ministry and a powerful testimony.

John has shared the stage with such icons as, LL Cool J, EPMD, MC Hammer, Ce Ce Winans, Bishop Marvin Winans, Canton Jones, and Mary Mary.

John is an active member of Liberty Church in Marietta Ga.
