Telos

Telos was born Emanuel W . Judkins Jr. in Dayton, Ohio. At age 10 he acquired a love for urban music as well as dancing. Telos began beat-boxing and break dancing in the basement, at school and any place there was solid flooring and hallow halls. The gift to bring music was not enough to fulfill his God given purpose, so he turned to a life of petty crime and violence. At age 17 he received Jesus as his Lord and Savior and picked the microphone up again. However, this time with purpose.

Telos started performing this new found Holy Rap in churches throughout Dayton, Ohio ministering the love of Jesus to the youth of the city. In 1990 Telos heard the call of God to the ministry and enrolled in Bible College. Now as an Associate’s Degree holder in Theology, a licensed minister, and a musical evangelist, he enjoys preaching the gospel as well as musically ministering to the saving of souls. Telos is a faithful husband of one wife and father of seven children. The Judkins’ live in Columbus, Ohio where they attend Kingdom Christian Center church. Currently Telos is in pursuit of fulfilling the purpose of God through various doors as God opens them.

This Debut CD entitled "King’s Court" is an urban Rap CD with a worshipful undertone that’s laced over heavy bass and hard hitting tracks. From the melodic sounds of “Worship-matic” to the anthem-preach of “Not talking Bout” This CD has something for every listener. Part testimonial, and part ministry in a comprehensive style of rap that is not to be confused with the world, this CD covers a large spectrum of Telos’ producing, mixing and songwriting ability. All who listen to this energetic project will be inspired to clap, dance, worship and stand up for Jesus.
