专辑简介

Livin Proof (AKA Joe Carnes) was born January 6, 1975, in Statesboro, Georgia. Coming from a broken home, he found himself getting in and out of trouble with the law as early as age six. Raising him in Wilmington NC, his father was forced to put him camps for troubled youths by the age of 11. Joe’s stubbornness and unwillingness to fall under an authority kept him constantly running from these places and causing mischief out in the world. Eventually his actions began catching up to him and he was placed in a youth detention center. Joe still would not be contained as his chaos ran rampant throughout the prison walls. Within weeks of getting paroled he would find himself back for another stint inside. Eventually, after ten years behind bars, he was a free man. His freedom, though, was only in the eyes of society. For the next seven years, Joe found his life controlled by drugs, alcohol, and womanizing. He proceeded to blow two record deals and cripple relationships in the process. Luckily, one day he found himself in a rehab facility and the light began to shine just enough where he could see it. Joe really began his turnaround and started living clean in fall of 2008. After working in the recovery field in an effort to help others, Joe moved back to Statesboro in January of 2010 and found a home in Connection church. Since working with them the light has shone even brighter and has commissioned him to spread it to others. As he has had a love for music since the age of 11, he has found a great avenue for which to share Gods message with others. His goal is to eventually turn Christian music into mainstream music in order to reach people that live in a world where he once did. In a world of turmoil and despair, there is hope in faith. Through his mission music he shares his experiences and reminds us to be good to all people. For we are all in the same boat and Christ is our captain, trust in this and be steered to His kingdom.
