Samuel/God's
Oracle had a plan, if he could only remove the insecurities, which powered
his thoughts, then he would be cured. At the age of fifteen, Samuel
would stay in his room reading the Bible "out loud" to himself.
He would practice this every day for seven months (without fail) until
his stuttering disorder no longer existed. Samuel then took his new
found ability and became a skilled Rapper.
Samuel was well on his way to recording an album when something happened.
The Lord imparted in him the gift of salvation. Samuel decided to
terminate his record deal and pursue Gods purpose of becoming a Spoken
Word Aritst. RL "Tha Gifted One" a fellow Poet/Deacon at
his church, along with his Brother/Poet Steven "Tha Real",
inspired him to try his hand at this unique art form called Spoken
Word. Samuel gives all the glory to GOD for His Goodness and Mercy.
He thanks God for his two mentors (Steve and RL).
Samuel has performed at several colleges and Spoken Word events.
He was a finalist in "The McDonald's Gospel fest". He has
performed at Madison Square Garden; sharing the stage with Aretha
Franklin, Cissy Houston, Donnie McClurkin and Vickie Winans. He is
currently working on a book, CD and DVD entitled…"Tha word
made flesh" which is a collection of his Holy Spirit inspired
poems. Each poem is a uniquely designed "verbal movie" with
the soul purpose of healing, setting free, delivering, changing and
inspiring the world.
Samuel resides in Georgia, by way of NY. He is currently a member
of the “Restored Life Bible Church” Stone Mountain GA,
under the teachings of Pastors John & Bernita Croslan. His mentors
include: Bishop Eddie L. Long “New Birth Missionary Baptist
Church”, Prophetess Juanita Bynum-Weeks, “Global Destiny”
and Reverend Floyd and Elaine Flake, “Allen Cathedral”
Queens, NY.
Samuel is also a member of the Poetry In The Light Organization and
serves as the Division Manager for the Atlanta Chapter. This nationally
wide spread ministry of Poets, Spoken Word Artist(s), Christian Pantomime(s),
Praise & Worship Dancers, Musicians, Christian Rap, Singers, and
Stage Production has many divisions… The Carolinas, Virginia,
New York and now Georgia.
Samuel's greatest joy is spending time at home with his wife Nicole
McCullough and their beautiful children.
