Born and raised in Florida Bro. Ely, grew up in a two-parent household with four siblings and was taught values of respect, obedience, and authority. Though not raised on biblical principles, the prayers of his grandmother stood in the gap until he came to know God personally. In his mid-twenties, he experienced a spiritual awakening that led to repentance, transformation, and a renewed purpose in Christ. Since then, he has used his gifts in music—writing and producing, —to minister across churches, in the community and various conferences, reaching hearts worldwide and sharing the joy of the gospel of the Kingdom of God through every lyric and sound.
