J.O.T. aka GRANDE GATO: News

BIG SHOUT OUT TO RENEE VAUGHN at 97.1FM WQMG for interviewing J.O.T. on radio show "COMMUNITY FOCUS". The interview exposed an older listening base J.O.T. aka GRANDE GATO's music ministry and how he is active in the community of WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.

GRACIAS(THANK YOU) to MAGARET JOHNSON of WXII TV 12 NEWS for interviewing J.O.T. and letting him both rap and share his cancer deliverance testimony on prime time news while reporting on the baseball pitcher whos was too delivered from cancer and pitched a "no-hitter" inning during the SPRING 2008 game(both 6 o'clock pm & 11 o'clock pm news)! GOD IS GOOD!

The First Official SOUL-FULL SUNDAY proved to be inspirational and entertaining as J.O.T. aka GRANDE GATO kicked it off with a LIVE BAND(He even did two of his Christian songs in SPANISH). A female vocalist, MS. CRYSTAL aka BONITA SENORITA, also accompanied him and blessed those who came with song and poetry/spoken word. Big thanks to TONY and the staff at TONY's LOUNGE for helping me successfully do a contemporary Christian event in an secular establishment(We are spreading the ministry of JESUS CHRIST everywhere..........GOD IS GOOD!). Keep checking soulfullproductions.com website for the date and time information of the next SOUL-FULL SUNDAY. Dios te bendiga!(GOD BLESS!)

GRACIAS ANGIE STAR for inviting GRANDE GATO to the LATINO MUSIC INDUSTRY venue on PARK AVE to help bring the LATINO community and the AFRICAN AMERICAN community together through CRISTO.

It was truly a "miracle" to see both the older generation up out of their seats and the younger generation up out of their seats rocking to the live performance of J.O.T. courtesy of Pastor Rivers, Youth Pastor Damian Anderson, and UMBC member Ken Brown! You would have have to been there to believe it. GOD IS GOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!

Big thanks to Ed Bumgardner for featuring J.O.T. aka GRANDE GATO in Meet 'N' GREET section of the RELISH entertainment section.

Big thanks to everyone at BASEMENT ELEVATION online magazine for featuring J.O.T. aka GRANDE GATO in their March issue.

Call all radio stations and request that they play J.O.T. Christian/Positive rap music. DJs say the more people that call in to request J.O.T. means the more they will play J.O.T.

Near the end of 2006 J.O.T. was interviewed by Stu Epperson on "Truth Talk Live" about Christian rap/Holy hip hop which was aired on SIRUIS satellite radio! That is proof that through Christ all things are possible!

Special Thanks To Bobby Parker at WAUG for giving J.O.T. spins on "The Afternoon Jesus Jam". PEACE and GOD BLESS!

Back in the summer of 2004 J.O.T. aka GRANDE GATO went to visit URBAN D aka PASTOR TOMMY at his holy hip hop church called CROSSOVER COMMUNITY CHURCH. Big props to URBAN D for letting Cristo de JESUS use him to get LATINO youth off of the street, and to redirect youth and young adult gifts such as graffitti drawings to paint Christian murals on the outer walls of the hip hop church. That's major.....praise be to GOD. Hopefully Christian people all over the world will see that locking youth and young adults up for grafitti is not the answer, but instead redirecting both to use their gifts to uplift the kingdom of GOD and Christ is the answer.

Big thanks to 102 JAMZ "SMASH CITY" Friday night's DJ SOUNDMACHINE AND YOUNG GEE for doing on air interview with J.O.T. and also playing J.O.T.'s song SELF ANALYZATION. THAT WAS A MAJOR EVENT!!!!!!!

J.O.T. jazz rap song "Press On" was featured in movie soundtrack for independent film titled Jazz June featuring Miguel Nunez(Miguel Nunez also starred in the movies Life and Jowanna Man). GOD is good!

J.O.T. co-directs video shoot for his song "PRESS ON" in Raleigh, N.C. on Hillsborough Street across from N.C. STATE(He is an alumni of that University and thought that it would be good for kids to see a music video that not only promoted CHRIST but also graduating from college as well). Peace and GOD BLESS.
