Today we’d like to introduce you to Firstkings Love
Hi FirstKings , can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
<-Faithful Over Famous-> Riches to rags, fully self dependent to homeless, single father to losing custody.
Gang affiliated to State and Federal prison. I lost it all when I had it all. Because I was prideful, vengeful and a narcissist womanizer. Unaccountable for everything that went wrong and selfishly self-entitled.
At a point when I felt that I was at the epitome of my success I admitted to being God. I meant what I said when I said that out loud. In the same moment that I claimed that title with the blink of an eye everything was being taken away from me. When I mean everything I mean EVERYTHING. God took it all back and I knew why. I hurt His heart. I ended up in jail, then prison. Which began the stages of being separated from my son Messiah, whom I consider to be my heartbeat. I gave my life over to Christ knowing even though I was innocent for the crime I was being charged for. I knew that I was fully guilty of hurting Christ with my pride. I knew I couldn’t begin feeling the goodness of God until I processed getting to ground level with God’s Grace.
Essentially, upon my release I was back with God, and He with me. Still far away from getting to where I am today with out fully having to journey through a 3 year process; where from the outside looking in, I had no one and nothing. 3 years I was homeless. Sleeping under bridges and eating out of dumpter’s and dumpster diving for clothes and essentials that could be of aid and that I could carry and pack all into backpacks. During this time had I not been with God and mindful to the idea trusting in everything He was doing and taking me through; I would have gotten upset at everyone that didn’t help me. Those I was a “yes man” to when I had it, especially immediate family members. I trusted God through all of this. I never wavered once during this Spiritual schooling I savored. As I counted on God for my every need and He supplied it. My relationship, love and trust grew very strong entrusting God with my life in His Hands.
I without a doubt knew God was with me.
I knew that I was going to graduate this Spiritual Schooling I felt I was in soon. I felt that in my spirit and that my elevation was close. First I had to fully die to my flesh before I could fully be giving my LifeTask that was set out for me from the beginning of time. So I did just that, I died. While sharing the good news of Christ I was shot in the face. Went to a place where I was with the Holy Spirit given a Heavenly tour being sent throughout life memories traveling through what I call Lightning Vains. I even came into a present time that I got to hear and feel the thoughts from my Dad that my son Messiah had asked him about me before he spoke. I got pulled out of that place and was placed right back at the starting point where I was standing outside the pearly gates of Heaven again. I had the choice to stay and be giving everything to me beyond measure of everything that was absent in my life while alive. In that moment I chose to return back into my body. Because I wanted to know for a fact why I was being given the invitation of eternal life with God, Home.
I made a promise to God that I would complete that task that He had set aside for me to fulfill on earth. That way the next time that I found myself standing in front of the pearly gates again. I would fully know why I was in line to take the step into my eternity with Christ. I then was hovering over my body before I re-entered. I woke up with Agape’ Love in my heart and I cried happy tears of joy for days in my hospital suite. That was September of 22. I had no plan other than to make myself completely available to God’s Will for me to do for His Glory Alone. Two year later from that point, I have elevated miraculously. That’s where I am today. Truly a testament of His Love and Grace. Walking example of John 9:1-3 and Jeremiah 29:11. Confident in Christ sound and moving hand knowing; That I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me.
I love sharing my testimony through music that I call Masterpieces. I am only just a vessel narrating the visions God gives me that He writes on the tablet of my heart. From the very first recording to the most recent; that in itself is a sound of my journey. As well as my social media profile post. Everything is fresh and set up that way unbeknownst to me just following through where I’m led. God always had this plan to make it all about what He can do. By the Grace of God I finally have a state of the art recording environment and location. A long way from recording on a broken cell phone in public restrooms or anywhere I could to share What Flows Through me. Today I have traveled throughout the country sharing the Truth ministering through music. Things have happened so fast that what I’m called to do is the focal point of my life. From community parks to huge venues I remain the same. My mindset is God first always.
I am in formation of founding an organization that is called “LET’S give them JESUS”. It’s a culmination of individuals that love being after the Same Heart of Christ. Today I’ve gathered a handful of people that make up as Christian Hip Hop Artist, worship leaders and singers both English and Spanish, as well as bilingual preachers and a creative director that loves to create. We have powerful testimonials while keeping our minds open to Christ Vision; returning people to their First Love; JESUS. We are setting the tone universally to break the mold in religion. Let’s get back to Love.. The shift is happening and we don’t want anyone to miss out on what God is doing. Luke 1:37 reads ; God can do anything.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It has not! lol. Although I’ve learned to appreciate the growing pains. Churches have not fully accepted that what I’m called to do is called by God HimSelf. The stigma behind Rap music has created a close mind in people to accept that God can be worshiped through Christian Hip Hop. I feel that the more I press in on Jesus the more attacked I get spiritually. Many times I can’t share the vision I’m shown to those that are religious. So I just make a point to follow through when God creates an avenue for me too and that’s conformation I am hearing from the Holy Spirit. People that remember me and my lifestyle have a hard time adjusting still. What encourages me to stick to the course is that Jesus wasn’t even accepted in His home town. They actually said “ What good thing comes from Nazareth?”. They say the same thing about Yakima, WA. Jesus’ story of truth is my guide in not breaking weak. Burdens that I have faced during my ministry is having the funding to do it all. I know even in that God will provide and place the love act into individuals to want to sow in to the vision of God in what He is using me for. I’m new to the scene so I’m not recognizable and I’m okay with that. As long as Jesus is felt I’m satisfied. I’m not in the business to look cool I’m here to save souls, period! There’s always something that sets me apart from others. I’m okay with that too. I have been prepped for everything I’m going through and will find myself in front of. Supporting me isn’t just listening to the music it’s the experience that you have to invest into and lock arms with me as we continue to give the world JESUS.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a walking testament of God’s Grace first. His vessel second. Professionally I am a Christian Hip Hop Artist and business owner to a Faith based music recording company. I like to known as a Music Minister.
What I specialize in is sound engineering. Mix and mastering and promotion. My company focuses on the critical aspects of sound elements and clarity. The development process of skilled learning to achieve the highest quality level of performance and the best possible results in achieving the desired outcome of the task. This process can also include learning how the key components of sound design can improve your presentation and the ability to communicate effectively.
I am most proud of the journey and growth not only in production but also internally as a leader and individual in the industry in terms of production capacity and quality of the product itself in being in the industry of music production and ministry.
What sets me apart from other artists is how well the music itself has become so widely accepted in music culture and in many industries. The fact that music has been around since the beginning of time. Read John 1. That chapter explains the beginning. Words are powerful and important and they can make a difference for anyone who is struggling or has difficulty reading. What sets me apart from others is how much I have learned about myself from this experience in my own experience and how much I know about myself, I value that. My life is governed by my ability to understand others and how to be better at my own personal life. Transparency is key in this process because we all need to know how much of our lives have been spent on the world around us. If we don’t understand how we feel we have become a burden to ourselves and we need more time for the people to learn we all have been through it. It’s okay to start over again. More importantly it’s okay to give your life to God allowing Him to drive us. I completely was healed universally. Given anew identity. This was never my plan. Many people use the art of music for self promotion. I utilize music to reach the people sharing what He’s done for me. So people that invest time can all relate. God promotes Himself I’m just going along with the ride.
We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
My childhood memories are still vivid today because I remember when I first met God. I was living in the Philippines and there was a massive earthquake. I remember hiding somewhere while my mom was covering me. Everything was shaking and falling out of place literally. But the only thing that didn’t seem to be affected was the Jesus mini statue sitting on a wall table. I saw it shake as if it was going to tip over and it never did. I was blown away and started wondering about Christ as He became important to me. That’s when the watering the seed of faith He planted into me began.
Growing up in the states the only thing I felt like I was great at was sports. Without that I was pretty much just the loner weirdo poor kid with a speech impediment. Sports is where I excelled at tremendously. Who I am today I now know that was a ploy of the enemy to destroy me. Only because I became prideful and conceited. Self absorbed and selfish. I can remember still how much I loved football. Football literally became my golden calf. In other words I worshipped football. It was all I thought about. I used my popularity and abused not only my gift but people around me. God allowed me to get as close as I possibly could to the highest level of achievement in football. As if I was in control of my own destiny lol. Before He pulled the plug on me and I woke up one morning in collage thinking to myself. I don’t love the game anymore. That’s when I hung up my cleats.
Even before the earthquake when I saw the Jesus Christ statue, God had a plan for my life. The enemy knew it too. There was a time I was outside playing with my best friend as always then when I looked up the sky was pitch black. Mount Pinatubo had exploded! I was born in Riverside California but grew up in Angelas City, Philippines. Even before my parents existences God had a plan on my life still. Had it not been that my Dad was in the military who knows what the outcome would have been. Because of God’s plan everything was in order for a safe escape.
That’s when my family and I relocated into The States.
There’s so many testimonials I could write a book. For now music is the outsource God is allowing me to share. It’s such a powerful tool. I promise you to those that stick it out with me; God won’t disappoint. He never does. God doesn’t just save lives. He makes them better!
Oh before I forget; I’m so excited about the next highly anticipated album. It’s called “GOD BREATHED”. Releasing sometime before the end of year. It’s so different from the first Album HOLY FIRE
I believe GOD BREATHED is going to set the tone. So be on look out for that. I’ve given previews on my instagram. Please feel free to join The Bloodline channel.

Thank you in advance.
I leave you with this verse that supports the album title and aligns with everything my walk expresses;
Jesus answered him, “The Scriptures say, ‘It is not just bread that keeps people alive. Their lives depend on what God says.’”
Mathew 4:4.
