JGP grew up in a border town in Southern Tx. At the age of 14 he moved to Evansville Indiana. When moving to Indiana JGP got involved in running the streets and started doing drugs. As he grew up he started dealing large amounts of drugs and his thirst for a better life became unable to be quenched.The more money he got the more he wanted. Eventually he came to the point of feeling like committing suicide because he could not be satisfied. Before he pulled the trigger the only thing he could think about was standing before an Almighty God. That night he had a dream that the end of the world was here. He woke up shook but continued to deal drugs and live his lifestyle. Later in the week, he was riding with a friend who was going to deliver some drugs to someone, when the police pulled them over. During his few days in jail, JGP asked God if he was real. On the last day of his time in jail, the door opened and he heard a police officer calling his name. They took him back into the detectives office. The narcotics detective had known JGP from their earlier days with music. He asked JGP if he could pray for him and lead him to the Messiah. This same detective was the founder of Nkosi Records before he passed away. Now JGP serves the Messiah in his community and with music going on 6 years

 

“What does it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul?” ~ Yeshua (Jesus)

 Before becoming a believer JGP played in bands starting as young as the age of 14 years old. Throughout those years he has been the vocalist for 2 metal bands, guitar player for a punk rock band, recorded hip hop tracks and owned his own recording studio.
 His testimony of transformation is nothing less than a miracle. After becoming a believer in the Messiah, he decided to take a break from music to learn the scriptures, and become closer to Him. He felt like God had taken his abilities away after his transformation, and he wasn’t sure if he would ever see them again.
 In 2013 a record label called Nkosi Records was formed in Evansville Indiana. Being involved in leadership with Nkosi Records, JGP never thought he would get back into making his own music.His focus was on helping others perfect their craft. Nkosi artist, Yung Kriss, gave JGP the opportunity to be a feature on his mix-tape “Church Music”, which would be his first track in over 6 years.
 Later, record label owner Brian Turpin had asked JGP to pray about signing to the label with the goal of reaching the lost sheep of the House of Israel, the Jews, and edifying the Messianic/Hebrew Roots congregation. He received confirmation from family and the beginning to this journey begins.
