Ken Perry Sr.: “I sang secular music for most of my life, I’m now at a turning point where
I love music, music is my heart but, my spiritual being is calling out for peace. So I’m
trying to mend the cracks in my soul to be more positive and the most honest living
individual that I can be (thank you Jesus). I’ve searched the music over and over and over
and over again, secular that is, gospel music, I love music orchestra or orchestrations of
music, classical, indie, underground, over ground, I mean I love music but that GOSPEL
music it resonates a response from my spirit, I mean here I am. I really want to be a part
of right living in God. So I’m thanking Him for my voice right now because, this is natural
there’s no outside influence. This is the good Lord Jesus Christ and I just want to Thank
Him and His Holy Father and the Holy Spirit for coming into my life. Thank you Jesus!
