God has changed my life the only way God can change a life. My life was changed when I believed that Jesus died for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day. I used to put confidence in myself: my good works, my imagined righteousness, and my own efforts to gain salvation. But now I desire to know nothing except Christ and him crucified. When I put my confidence in what Jesus has done for me, I am made right with God, and I am flooded with the peace that passes all understanding. What I'm trying to say is, faith in the Cross of Christ plus nothing equals salvation, sanctification, and everlasting life. Religious people do not like this sort of talk because religion tries to earn its own way to Heaven. But my life was changed when I realized that Jesus earned my way to Heaven. Read the letters of Paul in the New Testament and find out that what I am saying is the truth.

Born in Germany and grew up in P.G. County to Nigerian parents, Tomi was an emotional child with a passion for music. Tomi's father was a diplomat in Nigeria and left his position for better opportunities in America. As his family settled in America, Tomi's father took on jobs such as a janitor to provide for the family and his mother became a seamstress. Tomi recalls playing with his older brother and two younger sisters until night's end. True innocence he calls it! Money was scarce for family, but church provided donations to help family get back on their feet. (Remembers a Christmas when church filled a van full of toys because money was not enough for presents). Tomi began rapping at fourteen with the moniker Tomi Gunn for his rapid style of delivery. He linked with "cousins" from Africa as they called themselves who began a serious interest in rap music. Quiet Storm, the Beat Maker, Strategy, an artist among many other friends who contributed to the music. They recorded and freestyle battled for approximately eight years. The music was aggressive and angry, filled with negative feelings of failure that resonated with the crew that they hung out with. Tomi began smoking and drinking a lot, selling drugs and wasting money with no preparation for the future. Until one day God convicted his heart of all of his wrong doings and Tomi turned a new leaf. Far from perfect, he abandoned old friends and habits but details his struggle of finding the right path for him and staying on that path. The music is a clear depiction of a sinner saved by grace, spreading a message of acceptance and love to people of different cultures and backgrounds who feel the same way...

By the Grace of God I'm alive today, I'm thankful for every moment that god gives me on this earth and I am confident if he could do it for me, he will do it for anybody...God is Love...
