Description
Norris J is a product of inner city Fort Worth, Texas. Born in November, he is the second oldest of four children. While growing up in a divorced family, he battled and conquered various challenges of an urban environment faced by teens such as low or no self-esteem, the desire to be accepted, as well as, desperation to fit in, street life, and peer pressure.
Music offered an opportunity of ...self-expression and an outlet to escape his immediate surroundings. His attraction and love for hip-hop provided a release and positive niche for embedded creativity. In high school he was an athlete with a passion for basketball, but his dreams and aspirations of professional pursuit never materialized.
Norris J was led to the Lord at an early age through the Church of the Living God PGT. Even though he was raised in a single parent home, he was avid in his Christian surroundings and cultured hip-hop as a dialogue to communicate his views. Norris started writing in 1999 while being part of a duo entitled “XFactor”. Norris went solo in 2009 and his passion to write inherently increased.
In an innovative effort to focus on issues still escalating in the community, INJ Music was created to foster mental notes & demographics involving inner city malfunctions among youth and young adults. Norris J is a stage pioneer and front runner combining inspirational lyrics and hip-hop style to communicate resolution to emotions and situations that demand attention. With acceptance of hip-hop and positive flow of lyrical rhetoric combined with Norris J’s swag and charisma, the INJ Movement emerged. His style is very relevant to pop culture, but the main focus is on praising God. His music includes high-energy praise tunes that make you want to get up and dance, to mid-tempo songs that can transition you into worship. Although his music is geared toward our youth, it touches the lives of anyone in need of encouragement through a positive message. His passion is to be a voice for a young generation that will meet them where they are and introduce them to Christ through Hip-Hop music.
Norris J. currently resides in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex where he is the devoted husband and father to his wife and three children. He is a deacon and faithful member of New Breed Christian Center in Fort Worth, TX under Pastors Darrell and La'Tonja Blair.
Norris J has a sincere passion to uplift spirits, redirect knowledge to insight better choices, and energetically praise the Lord. NJ delivers electrifying performances as he empowers his audience with words of wisdom and scripture while engaging them with music they can relate to. He is developing quite a resume of attractions by being accepted and admired by multiple venues including gospel and secular audiences.

5ive
Raised in the small town of Earth Texas, 5ive became acquainted with drugs at a young age. At the age of 13 he got saved at a Disciple Now event in Littlefield, Texas, but a couple years later he began to backslide. He struggled with addiction to marijuana, and cocaine through out his teenage years. By the time he was in his twenty's he was addicted to crack cocaine and had been in and out of jail on drug charges. While serving a 180 day sentence, he made a vow to God that he would not smoke anymore marijuana when he was released. Upon his release he did try and smoke but every time he would try the guilt would be more than he could bare, so he did not smoke anymore marijuana. Although, he did get back to doing cocaine and crack cocaine. He struggled with this addiction for about three years, and then it elevated once again to crystal meth.
While on crystal meth one night, God began to deal with him through his addiction. That night he was arrested and taken to jail where he realized that God was calling him. He also realized that he was not even a man. Even though he knew God was calling him, he continued to run for another month, and for that entire month he was literally up the whole time on crystal meth. One night while he was up high on meth the Lord began to show him some things, and the next morning as he was watching a Praise-a-thon on television the man on the screen (Pastor Jamal Bryant) literally began to talk to him. That is when he knew he needed Jesus more than ever! He called on the name of Jesus and him and his wife surrendered their lives to the Lord Jesus Christ on Nov. 7th 2010.
Every since then he has been going hard for the Lord, preaching sermons, and doing outreaches with his ministry family James and Castillo ministries. Together they do the I'm On Fire Events(coming to a town or city near You!!!!!!!). Then God connected him with The Bridge Ministries where they created the TBM Squad and where Craig James took on the name 5ive which is the biblical number for grace. Shortly after the release of his debut Album "Amazin" was released Craig was introduced to Ryan "Gritty" Vestal the founder of Rep Tha King Ministries. They quickly formed a bond and it wasn't long before Ryan asked Craig to come partner with him at Rep Tha King Ministries. After much prayer and counsel Craig and his wife Tiffany, felt that the Lord was leading them to join Rep Tha King Ministries. Every since then the Lord has been opening up door after door for the their ministry!!!!!!!! It's been a year and a half since that decision and the obedience to the Lord has really been a blessing. Craig has toured all over the U.S. sharing his story of addiction, redemption, and Salvation. Craig James aka 5ive is now the CEO of Rep Tha King Ministries & Recordings and is currently working on his Sophomore Album entitled "Ignition" and he believes that the Lord is really gone show out through him on this Album!!!!!!

austin wallace "Whiteout"
I am 22 years old from North Richland Hills, Texas. My motto is love God love people and that's the way I live my life. I've been writing music since the age of 10 and I've been writing hip-hop since the age of 13. I don't want people to say look at him, or look at what this guy did; I want people to look at me and see Jesus Christ on and off the stage in everything I do and say. I believe strongly in the message of love aka as the teachings of Jesus Christ because it can conquer anything and everything so that's how I live my life. This isn't just music to me; this is a lifestyle that directly impacts the people I come in contact with every single day.
April NEVELS
Biography
April Nevels is a powerful, gifted singer with one of the premiere signature voices in gospel music today. With a rich, vibrant tone like Oleta Adams and vocal styling similar to Karen Clark Sheard, April’s soulful voice expresses authentic emotions much like that of Mary J. Blige. The pain of divorce, depression and suicidal moments and her triumphant survival of it all, is what resonates in April’s life and ultimately in her music. “I didn’t see how I would make it out but God never left me,” says April as she embarked upon her first solo project “Krazy Praise” which was released in July 2010 release on 7-Places record label. April emphatically lets the world know that it’s ok to “holla!” and give radical praise to God. “Krazy Praize” is the debut single and title track offering the beginning lyrics, “Can’t sit still, can’t hold my praise…” and with April’s poignant delivery, few can sit still after the first note. Her vocal gift is just that magnetic. It was April’s distinctive, polished vocals that were lead on the 2009 Top 30 Billboard single “Clap Your Hands” from the album “Beautiful” which she recorded with her siblings, the Nevels Sisters. Passionate about human causes as well as her music, April is one of many artists featured with Kirk Franklin on the inspiring song “Are You Listening” which was recorded during the 25th Stellar Awards weekend to benefit the Haitian relief fund for that country’s earthquake victims. A Youngstown, Ohio native, April is the youngest of five siblings—three sisters and one brother—and the proud mother of two beautiful daughters. Today, April has put all of the pain behind her and channels her energy into her music and her family. April Nevels is moving full speed ahead but through every thread of her career and life, rest assure that she will ALWAYS “krazy praize.”
BILL ROGERS
Bill Rogers Youth Foundation
Bill Rogers has taken a long, noble and deliberate path from his humble rural origins outside of Kakata, Liberia to help the underprivileged youth of his country. This journey has included many exciting and rewarding stops along the way, including his life as a professional Olympic track and field runner in Africa to his formal college education and work as a sports performance trainer and physical therapist in America. The most important overriding goal and destination for Bill Rogers, however, is to utilize all that he has learned and return home to make a difference. This is why he founded the Bill Rogers Youth Foundation, an organization that seeks to ultimately transform young lives through athletic participation and achievement, as well as fundamental schooling and life guidance.
Born in September 1985, Bill grew up in the forested outer reaches of western coastal Liberia. Raised lovingly with four brothers and one sister by diligent, though uneducated parents, at an early age, Bill decided to strike out, learn more and see further than the meager means that were immediately available to him. At this time, the traumatic Liberian Civil War broke out, which affected Bill strongly. At age 7, his parents divorced, leaving his mother to take care of the entire family alone. As the oldest sibling, Bill began to grow into a leader at home. But to become a leader out in the world, he would have to first understand what it meant to be an integral part of a team with a collective goal in mind.
After seeing a group of professional track and field athletes run through his town, he eagerly trailed alongside them, immediately receiving encouragement from their coach to pursue athletics. In his early formative years, Bill lived with several relatives away from his brothers and sisters. At age 11, Bill entered public school for the first time. There, he soon participated in soccer, as well as track and field. He had a lot to catch up with academically, however. Always funny and outgoing, Bill made friends with a classmate named Sayé who provided him food and some insights about learning. Bill also worked with a study tutor named Solo who taught Bill about written language and history. While initially behind several years in school, Bill finally caught up in his late teens.
Bill’s various athletic skills grew exponentially in his early teen years. He competed and placed in the World Youth Track and Field Championship in Hungary in 2001. Bill also became a double medal award-winner as an official competitor in the African Athletic Championship in Benin in early 2004. He competed and won several other track and fields awards in Africa and Europe.
At age 18, Bill was chosen to train and become an official member of the Liberian Olympic track and field team in 2004. At this time, the dramatic political unrest in Liberia began to calm significantly, punctuated by the election of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and a new, peaceful leadership body. This important passage in his life, along with his success in the 35th Annual IAAF World Cross Country Running Championship in Kenya in 2007, has placed him on the forefront of Liberian athletic history.
During this time, between training, Bill began to pursue another life as a sports physical therapist. He trained and became a certified athletic trainer in Nairobi, Kenya in 2003. But Bill’s vision took him further, this time to the United States.
With the encouragement and help of previous Liberian Olympic track and field team member, Dr. Grace-Ann Dinkins, Bill applied and was accepted to El Camino College in Torrance, California. He traveled over 7000 miles to begin his studies. Bill moved to El Paso, Texas for the following school year to study Kinesiology-Exercise Science. After winning a full athletic scholarship, Bill transferred to Huston-Tillotson University, where he eventually earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology-Human Performance as a top honor student in 2009. Bill acted as a student ambassador at Huston-Tillotson University and guided new students through their orientation and studies.
Bill soon earned several successive requisite certifications in CPR, AED and became a nurse’s aid. Bill also contributed his free time in over a dozen physical therapy facilities in both New Jersey and Texas, such as Tender Touch Rehabilitation, Heritage Park Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Center, and others. Bill also worked with the Catholic Charities Organization, providing direct help for the homeless.
As an ASFA certified master professional personal fitness trainer, Bill Rogers specializes in cardiovascular wellness, muscular strength, endurance, body composition, flexibility and overall health improvement for his clients. Bill trains both professional athletes and therapy patients in and around greater Los Angeles, California.
He is currently a member of the Liberian International Athletic Foundation, where he organizes, coordinates and supervises a great number and variety of sporting activities for youths in several communities throughout the U.S.
Now, Bill Rogers is poised to make a momentous return to Liberia and create a lasting impression amongst its youths and community with the establishment of the Bill Rogers Youth Foundation.

His, desire to minister through music has given him the business mindset to start “Anointed Entertainment”. His movement, "L3AD3RZ" which are his fans/supporters and "Heaven is my Hood" Clothing Line & Single has grown with unbelievable speed. Y.B.S.O.D, is transforming the lives of young people all over the world through his prophetic hip hop message which is a declaration to the world that you can live for the kingdom of God and takeover in any area of life.
