CMO's bio

As you listen to CMO's catchy urban songs with spirtually rich Christian lyrics – there is one thing that will remain etched in your memory. CMO is not your typical run-of-the-mill gospel artist! His style is very distinctively Hip Hop/ R&B, but with a clear Christian message. The choruses of his songs are filled with such creative ways to apply God's Word practically to your life. CMO is such a powerful writer - it's as if he has sat down in your living room and sang to you all the Godly solutions to the problems that keep you lying awake at night, and some of the complicated problems plaguing our urban communities. The message of his music is clear. It is to entertain you, identify with your feelings and emotions, and leave you walking away with a greater understanding of what your life can and will be with God in it.

CMO’s songs explore many issues such as identity, love, suicide, making wise choices, believing, faith, substance abuse, and more. He feels that through his music you will see more (CMO) of God and God's Word for how we should live. You will understand it completely and very clearly – as if you were watching the WORD on high definition bright color Television. He is out to tell a vision – it is the vision of GOD, and he gives it to you brightly colored with bold lyrics, catchy beats, dance tunes, soulful tenor singing, and a hip urban style.

With the lyrical shockers – it would be enough to make great music. But CMO takes the knockout approach with music production that makes even mainstream secular producers look twice. His music delivers the extremely popular hip hop/R & B sound that sells out stadiums nationwide. His style is edgy and the music is filled with very soulful, dance-driven urban beats, great hooks, and catchy production created by one of the secular's world's former premier producers. His producer, PL Sweets of MF music (My Father's music ) is well known in the secular world for helping produce hits for Nick Cannon, The O'Jays, Donnell Jones, and many other internationally famous artists. Sweets lending his production expertise to CMO's lyrical genius is a marriage made in hip hop heaven.

CMO has been performing for years. He has sung on stage with Deitrick Haddon, Tonex, JR of Cross Movement, and Sean Slaugther - just to name a few. He first got his feet wet in a teenage boy-band where he wrote, produced, arranged and sang for the group. He later left the aspiring group planning to pursue his own personal goals. Goals that included reaching out to urban communities plagued by drugs, violence, promiscuity, and low self-esteem. He has begun tackling those goals, and is using this album as a stepping stool to do more in urban communities.

CMO plans to perform in secular venues such as 106 & Park – the popular urban music show on BET Television that reaches millions and millions of teens and young adults. He plans to present Christ as an option to unsaved teens, and win souls for God. CMO has been called a revolutionary and a visionary by many. He is not afraid to stand boldly among the unsaved and proclaim Christ's message of salvation. He wants everyone to see more of God in bright, beautiful technicolor!

you're WACK.

*blows the dust off*

see..i haven't neglected it..lol.

seriously though. i was doing some self-examination (again) and made a discovery about myself. if this applies to you, man..join the good fight with me. i encountered a brief hardship/trial/test (whatever you wanna call it) a couple days ago..and almost LOST it. my circle was like "what's wrong? why you sound like that?" i couldn't even effectively reply with any answer other than "i don't know. i'm just tired of stuff being the way it is..i'm just tired.."

*shaking my head in disgust at myself*

let me say..in no regard do i expect perfection of myself or expect not to react to occurrences like any other human. i am human, after all. but i profess to be a Jesus following, saved, sanctified, Holy Ghost filled, baptized & born again Christian who's COMPLETE trust and faith is in God and His Word. the Bible is chock-FULL of scriptures regarding the afflictions of God's people..wanna see some? here they go..(lol..sorry)


Psalm 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you 13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.


i could go on and on..but you catch my drift. so i'm dealing with myself like "you're WACK!" i KNOW God is faithful to perform that which He promised. i KNOW God is a supplier of NEEDS and i'm not giving Him room to be Jehovah Shalom (God of peace) or even Jehovah Shammah (God is there). i mean, He's going to be Who He is anyway (I am that I am = Jehovah) so why was i WORRIED?! worry = doubt = fear.
none of those equal FAITH. so why am i not exercising my faith by placing it in HE WHO IS FAITHFUL?! ya'll..i'm really not happy with myself about letting this slip.

to you my friend, this is something we have to apply to life..for real. faith is more than words..more than saying so..it's a matter of doing. everybody trying to go to Heaven, yeah? everybody trying to make God happy, right? Hebrews 11:6 tells us "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Proverbs 3:5 says "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not to thine own understanding." understandably so! our understanding ain't worth 2 dead flies which is why we trust in Him. put our faith in Him. put our hope in Him. if not, we're WACK.
