My music is an original blend of all the different types/genres that I grew up listening to. Including Bluegrass, modern Country, Southern Rock, Jazz, Blues and a whole lot of different kinds of Christian/Gospel. Although this is a ministry, I still believe in professionalism. I still like to entertain (in Christ) and I still want to make it a fun and exciting experience to be a part of one of my events! But first and foremost and above all else, I want to introduce people from all walks of life, to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the best way that I know to do this, is through my music.
The words/lyrics were written by me and inspired of God from real life, personal experiences and situations, both good and bad, that most people can relate to in one way or another. But more importantly, the songs are also testimonies that tell how God has miraculously, always brought me through those situations and experiences.
I've spent many years out in the bar-rooms and nightclubs entertaining people for all the wrong reasons. Now I feel that it's time to bring that same level of energy into a ministry, but only with a changed heart, in different places/venues, and for all the right reasons! After all, if I worked so hard at playing music for the devil for all those years, then why can't I work just as hard or even harder at playing and having fun for the Lord? I don't want to be a "stiff-necked" Christian. I believe that God wants us to be able to enjoy life while serving Him! I mean, He did put us here on this earth for a period of time!
I play and sing along to soundtracks of my original music and my oldest son Russ (Rusty) Nottingham Jr takes care of the sound.
