简介
Bobby is a native of Boston who began his professional music career in 2000. At the time he was about eighteen years old when he decided to take his gift more seriously and write his first song. Ever since then the music hasn't stopped. Bobby is now twenty- four years old and pursuing a career in the gospel music industry. The particular thing about Bobby and how he got his start in gospel R&B is that it wasn't always gospel lyrics that he laced his music with. Known as "Reason" at the time he began in 2000, he received several opportunities to perform on the same stages as popular secular artists such as Ludacris, Fabolous, Fat Joe, 112 and even more. On top of those already exemplary exploits, Bobby had a full length secular R&B album that received recognition by some of the top record labels in that genre of music. With him actually in the room, a record executive from Atlantic Records critiqued his album, The Voice of Reason in their New York headquarters. Later, Conrad Dimanche an A&R from Bad Boy saw Bobby in Philly singing at Club Flow in a talent showcase and immediately took interest. Mr. Dimanche was so interested in Bobby's talent that he flew into Massachusetts to hear him sing once again to see if he was the real deal. It turns out that Mr. Dimanche believed so and offered Bobby an opportunity to write for Bad Boy's leading R&B singer, Carl Thomas. Since then, which was the end of 2002 and the beginning of 2003, Bobby has turned from trying to do things that way. The lifestyle of a Pop/ R&B star seemed to be getting tired and too stressful. Maybe one can say it was because of the types of people that he dealt with, but he likes to believe that God always had a plan and way of escape for him if he ever wanted to go running to the Lord. It turns out that God did hear his voice when he prayed: "God, I'm confused." It was in January on the 11th back in 2003 that God spoke to Bobby through a man of God who offered him Christ. It was a man he had never met and even engaged in a conversation with. But, the young man told Bobby that God had preserved his life in order for him to fulfill a purpose that God had designed for his life. Bobby, now convinced that God had a purpose for him decided right then and there to follow Christ. Since that time he has recorded an album entitled, Drawn Out, which speaks of the process God has brought him through. Drawn Out from the world to follow a path Drawn Out by God. This inspirational album was the product of the work of Bobby and a good friend, Alfred L. Watkins III, who supplied the instrumental counterpart for all the songs but one, "Crazy Praise", for which the music written by Norsette John "Saint Man" Saint Jean Jr. Now, OutWord Ministries is the vehicle Bobby uses to convey his message to the generations of today and tomorrow. This is a testimony of how God delivered my music career. If you'd like me to fill in any gaps, send me an email, I'll be glad to.
