Born December 17th, 1983 through a musician father and an evangelist mother, learning how to walk with God and a developing a passion for music was instilled in him from a very early age. Rafael began ministering to youth groups and churches at the age of 13. He then would try his hand at doing his own music at a youth conference in 2002. Since then, he has grown, matured, and developed into the man you'll hear today. "I dont have a 'super testimony', nor do I claim to be the 'next best thing to hit the rap/music scene' Rafael says. "One thing I WILL say is that I love Christ and I love being a part of His Kingdom". With that said we pray you enjoy what you experience from this page. So if you enjoy Christ centered, spirit-filled music; then lets praise the Lord together!! What does XNTY mean? XNTY is an old time abbreviation of "Christianity". The purpose of XNTY is to show the many aspects of Christianity; praise, worship, strength, confidence, forgiveness, redemption, sorrow, weakness, and most importantly VICTORY. "I wanted to show the people Christianity in full circle that pertains to our individual lives." Rafael explains. "Although we all are different as people, we are all under the same love and authority of Jesus if we submit to his will. This CD is to somewhat show the journey of a Christian which leads to his/her victory of eternal life. I just pray people can understand and recieve it". This will only be the beginning in the ministry and the message that we have to present. Let this be the foundation to encourage the people that Jesus is indeed Lord!!
