C2six is a former gangsta rapper turned Christian rapper. After success as a secular rapper he had a conversion experience in 2007 at an all-ages concert in which he vowed to give up gangsta rap and dedicate his time and talent to God. Initially, he denounced his Catholic upbringing, considering himself to be a non-denominational Protestant Christian. After a 2 year break from music in order to study his Christian faith, he was compelled back to the Catholic Church. The music he was creating was cultured towards Catholicism, but there were not many other Catholics on the Christian rap scene. In a search for other Catholic hip-hop artists, C2six linked up with Nico Santana and S.M1ND in 2010 then John Levi and Val Mural in 2012 forming the group FoundNation. C2six and FoundNation have performed and spoken to young people throughout the United States. Canada and Mexico as well as the World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Panama City, Panama. C2six has released multiple albums and two documentaries as a Christian hip-hop artist. He has been featured on EWTN’s Journey Home with Marcus Grodi and Life On The Rock; Sirius XM Radio’s Jennifer Fulwiler Show and Conversations With Cardinal Dolan; and Shalom World TV’s Beats and Jesus My Savior. C2six resides in Fort Worth, Texas.
