Born a saint in the city of sin, Prophet's music offers a sweet tonic for the trails and tribulations of the human heart schooled as he was from his early years on classic rock from Europe and America to classic country and the blues legends. Motivated by metaphysics, Prophet engages the audience to do more than listen passively but to "hear and act".

We take people for a ride and we engage them. I'm not just chit chatting up there on stage. I'm drawing out of the audience their own deep desires to have a holy moment, where they stop looking at their watches and around the room and are truly lost in the experience.
