Get to know us
Our mission is to spread the gospel and love of Jesus into the community. We want to bring awareness to good music with a positive message. We want to show people hope by sharing testimonies of transformation. We want to give people hope by rewarding good works. We want to create a platform for local non-profits and ministries to be introduced to the community. This will allow our communities to know what is available. We want to challenge young men and women to consider the end of their lifestyle choices. We want to create an atmosphere of fun to draw people out but speak truth to shift people's perspectives. We want to be an agent of change in St Louis knowing that it begins with the people in our community.

For Pierre, the love of music has impacted him most of his life. Pierre says, “God chose me to love music, enjoy music, and is reminded of Jesus’ sacrifice on The Cross that very fact gives me the desire to give back my gifts to Him for His glory.” God put the love of music in him from 4 years old and had an ear to quickly be able to compose and produce original music. In 2010, he started writing and producing more songs and studying music performance. Pierre hopes that every beat, every melody, every note that comes across the ear of the saved and unsaved will direct them back to the one who paid the price to set them free.
