Besides not being able to pigeon-hole him into a particular genre, he re-introduces lyrical content born of hereditary musical responsibility, love of humanity, giving of self and personal yet UNIVERSAL LIFE EXPERIENCES. Raphael prefers music with great passion and great story lines with good moral and ethical content. He prefers what he can feel opposed to what he can hear any day. Raphael’s music takes you on a journey of strength, courage, faith, hope, personal testimony, of Love & Life.
