Struggles
Voice grew up in a tough neighborhood in the D.C.
metropolitan area as a child. As a result of his
environment, he sought refuge in anything that would take
his mind off the struggles of no dad, tough surroundings,
and a criminal record that started at seven years old. That
refuge would be music, specifically rap/hip-hop music.
Music
In the 1990’s, Voice had a sincere desire to get a recording
contract. He would go and help other guys in his
neighborhoods develop their abilities in hopes to one day
hit the recording industry hard as force to reckon with from
DC.
Name
Voice who had changed his name to Intrigue Garcia was
involved with a well known for it's crime neighborhood
called Belle Haven. This neighborhood would house the street
gang “2nd Gin” which would take Voice’s desire for rap and
mix it with the underworld of drugs and violence that so
permeated DC. Voice’s life in and out of rap was spiraling
out of control as he began the difficult journey of
redempton.
Charged
The height of all this came to a head when, after meeting
with an entertainment lawyer and record label executives to
sign a recording contract, he was subsequently charged with
attempted murder which was dropped to 1st degree assault,
2nd degree assault, reckless endangerment and possession of
a gun.
Years
Now facing 43 years in prison for his crimes he again needed
to find refuge in something that had more substance than
music, something that didn’t change as rap music had through
the years. What he found would change his life and the
direction of his music forever.
Gospel
A friend that was with him through all these trials, even in
“those sobering court rooms”, shared the Gospel of Jesus
Christ with him. He had been introduced to this earlier in
life but had never taken it seriously. Though this
information was not new, now with his life in utter shambles
God had his attention.
Miracle
With what seemed to be a Red Sea-like miracle, Voice was
given only minimal time in jail and extended probation. This
was enough for Voice, and with the help of his friend, he
began to pursue a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Church
The most important thing now was finding a local church that
not only believes the Bible but lives it. He found that in
Covenant Life Church, where he now serves as a pastoral
intern in the singles ministry there under Eric Simmons and
Joshua Harris, his senior pastor.
Acceptance
“This church accepted me as I was and helped me to grow as I
should”, says Voice. “The grace of God is seen so clearly in
the local church and for me this is what I needed and what
we all need if we are to mature in Christ. I often think
that I should be in prison and instead I get to do this.
Grace is amazing isn’t it,” contemplates Voice. Now armed
with the grace of God Voice brings his pastoral heart and
street knowledge.
