From the beginning, my vision for creating music was to serve others and to glorify God with the abilities He has given me. I spent many hours practicing live instruments for several years. Towards the end of this season with little to show for, I realized that I would not be able to fulfill this vision. That is when I considered other options and ventured down the path of composing music with MIDI. After yielding satisfactory results and realizing my enjoyment of the process, I knew that this was the right decision. However, while MIDI provides the ability to compose music myself, I know that if I want to take it to the next level, I need to partner with others. If I am to do the great things that God has shown—and is yet to show me—then it will require the participation and support of others.

The Need For Partnership

This partnership is twofold—generous supporters who believe in my work and vision and skilled musicians who can help me record the real instruments. While I can do a job for income and work on music in parallel, the amount of time it will take to fulfill my vision will be greatly extended. It may be that I would never be able to fulfill that vision to the extent that was revealed to me; and that's considering that I would remain unmarried my whole life. I humbly realize that the extent to which I fulfill this vision will be dependent upon those who choose to partner with me and donate financially toward this vision.

The ability to compose music with MIDI opens the doors for me to work on projects by myself; however, it could only go so far with the limited amount of samples provided in plugins. Technological advancements may change this, but MIDI cannot replace the quality and authenticity that comes from recording live instruments, albeit the differences are becoming more subtle. As such, collaborating with skilled musicians for live instrument recordings is necessary in order to deliver the best experience for listeners.

I recognize this vision goes far beyond me and that it will take more than me to manifest this vision on this Earth. Yes, God will provide, but He will do so through people.

2022 | Rebirth

The path toward fulfilling my vision eventually shifted as I stopped playing live instruments in favor of using MIDI to create music, which gave me the ability to "play" all the instruments that I ever wanted to use in my music. This was a vital change in my journey that stirred up hope in being able to achieve my vision.

The year 2022 was also the time when my four-year healing journey has come to a close. This journey through the darkness revealed another element in my vision, and that was to express this journey through music. 

I want to share the experience and emotions of what it was like being plunged into the darkness, decaying and dying in the darkness, being rebirthed and coming out of the darkness, and how God led me through that process.

Going through this fire has also burned away all of the religion that I was taught from childhood, so I also want to express how religion and traditions of men hold us back from the blessings that God has bestowed upon us through Jesus Christ. I believe that there are many people who are going through what I went through and my desire is to come alongside them through music.

2022-2024 | Rediscovering the Kingdom of God

Following the end of my inner healing journey in 2022, I pursued the question of what King Jesus meant in Matthew 6:33 when He commanded us to "seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness." I felt that understanding this was crucial because the following promise that He made was that "all these things will be added unto you." It was around this time when I discovered Myles Munroe and his teachings on the kingdom of God, which has given me remarkable revelation regarding the message of the Bible, the kingdom of God, and mankind's purpose on Earth that God has established from the very beginning!

Sometime in the Summer of 2023, I knew enough that God had established certain laws and principles that govern the operation of the physical and spiritual realms.

An example of a physical law that we experience on Earth is the law of gravity. Its consistency across all of the Earth determines gravity as a law. Everything is pulled downward toward the ground. If gravity existed in one country, but not in other countries, it would be a phenomena.

However, when cooperating with the principles of "flight," it allows large, heavy aircraft to sustain them in the air. So long as the aircraft continues to obey the laws of flight in mid-air, it will be sustained in the air and not crash into the ground.

Likewise, God has also established spiritual laws for things such as salvation, healing, deliverance, and prosperity. One will find them if their understanding isn't clouded by religious teachings and traditions that make the Word of God of no effect.

In light of this knowledge, I knew that healing operates by principles, but I did not know what they were and how to cooperate with them. I knew that if I were to get a hold of this knowledge and understanding and apply them in my life, healing would be automatic—like when an airplane takes off when it reaches a certain speed. There were areas in my life where I wanted physical healing, so instead of praying for healing, I asked God to reveal to me the principles that govern healing sometime during the Summer of 2023.

2024 | Expanding the Possibilities

A year later in August of 2024, my brother introduced me to Andrew Wommack's teachings on healing. As I listened through some of Andrew's messages on healing, my spirit grabbed hold of it and I said, "This is it!"

From that time forward, I was soaking myself in these teachings, which addressed all aspects of God's blessings and benefits for our lives that we have already received through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. I received the revelation that it is always God's will to heal. The problem is not in God's giving—it is in our receiving! This began to expand the possibilities of the impact that God can bring to people through my ministry in folk music!

Along with exercising my ability to produce quality folk music, I am seeking the Lord all the more fervently to know and understand His ways—the laws and principles that He has established—so that I may effectively apply them in my life and in relation to the lives of others.

God's desire is for His kingdom come and will be done on Earth. God desires for "all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (1 Timothy 2:4), and forgiveness of sins is, indeed, the most important part of salvation that any person can receive.

However, if it is also God's will to heal, deliver, and prosper (3 John 2), and if these benefits are included in salvation, then I would like to see this manifest on Earth as well—both in my life and in the lives I minister to through music!

In February of 2024, I attended a "Trauma Healing" Christian conference at Jessup University. On the Saturday's session, I came dressed in my Medieval attire as I commonly do when I gather with the church on Sundays. This gave me an opportunity to meet new people and share with them about my passion for folk music. I had an encounter with one woman before the conference started that morning, and after I had shared with her about my passion and vision in folk music, she prayed a prophetic prayer over me and blessed me on my journey as God uses me to do great things and impact many people. Everything that the Spirit was saying through her resonated with what I have been thinking for a long time!

After the conference was over, I had an opportunity to speak with another woman who happened to be one of the chaplains at my home church. As I was sharing my passion and vision in folk music, she interrupted me and said that she just had a flash vision where she saw me performing in front of thousands of people. I was amazed because this was aligned with what I saw in my heart several months ago!

These two instances were encouragements and reminders that God, indeed, has great plans for me! I don't know in what manner I will get there, but if I am diligent, press forward, and cooperate with God's principles, my good Father will take care of the logistics.

My initial vision in music was to produce European folk music that glorified God. After my inner healing journey, I had an additional vision of expressing that journey through music. My ten-plus year plan was to first produce three albums about my healing testimony—how the Lord was with me in the darkness, how the Lord led me out of the darkness, and the change in identity after my journey through the darkness. Afterward, I would focus on producing music about various topics in the Kingdom of God—and there is so much that the Word of God has to offer!

I had no idea how these visions would eventually manifest. I would have never guessed where I'd be in ten years when I first started this music journey, and the means to the end are constantly morphing!

While I have yet to fulfill my vision in expressing my testimony through music, the latter part of my vision is being fulfilled through Kingdomheim with AI music! It amazed me when I realized that the timeline of the fulfillment of my vision has been drastically shortened, so the part of my vision which was supposed to be fulfilled many years from now according to my plans is now being fulfilled today according to God's plans!

There is so much potential with Kingdomheim that I am not sure if I will ever get to share my testimony through music with Artos the Seeker, and if I never get to it, I can still have peace knowing that God has something greater for me.

It was at this point that I began to recognize that financial partnership was not just a "nice to have" benefit, but rather a crucial element that will determine whether I produce music fulltime. From the time I was laid off from my job in April of 2025, I was expecting a supernatural flow of provision as I pursued God's calling for my life, and at the time of writing this section in April of 2026, there is no sign of it.

I believe that my King's provision will come one way or another, but it may not be the way I expect. Nevertheless, I will continue to pursue that which the Lord has put on my heart—whether it's producing music... or something else.
