Influenced by living in Inglewood, California, AR began to extend his ministry’s vision to be founded in his love for music. It was at this time that he had the privilege of singing behind legends such as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Winans, Donnie McClurkin, Shirley Caesar, and Beverly Crawford. He even had the honor of being chosen as backup for the Grammy Award Winning Patti LaBelle. It was an experience in his life that he is tremendously grateful for.

In 2014, AR dropped the album entitled Love Worship, which focused on the power of praise through any of life’s circumstances. ...
