Imagine Walking In Your Destiny! 2Godio is doing it. This
27-year-old Urban Gospel artist is walking in what God has ordained on his life with his freshman CD "To God I Owe Everything". This Memphis native started singing in the
church choir at the age of 8. He was musically influenced by the soulful tunes of Rev. C. L. Franklin, Orlando Draper and
the Associates, Kevin Davidson and the Voices, Kirk Whalum, Curtis Mayfield, Kirk Franklin, Fred Hammond, Rev. Al Green, and many, many others. At the age 12, among gospel
legends Shun Pace, Milton Brigham, Orlando Draper, and Rev. Clay Evans, 2Godio recorded his first professional album while singing with the ARRC Mass Community Choir.
2Godio began playing the saxophone for his home church at the age of 15. His passion for music
grew and earned him 1st chair saxophonist for the concert, marching and jazz bands while in high school
. After graduating from high school, 2Godio became a saxophonist for the Southwestern State Community College jazz band.
Desiring a higher education and realizing his gift for encouraging people, 2Godio pursued and obtained
a Bachelors of Science in Community and Public Health from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU).
While at MTSU, 2Godio began to receive invitations to render his gifts on stages with mainstream secular
artist such as The Isley Brothers and Arista recording artist "Nappy Roots".
2Godio's delivery of music has a soulful urban gospel sound that doesn't discriminate against any
message or music lover. He confesses that God is still encouraging and saving souls through music.
2Godio is passionate about going into the cracks and crevasses of the ghettos, projects, inner cities, rural
country sides and suburbs to offer Christ to those who are sitting in spiritual darkness or who have lost their motivation to live right for Christ.
"Praise On", "2 God I Owe", Spirit vs. the flesh", "No Matter What", "World Listen", and "Just a Test" just
to name a few will speak directly into your life and into your situation. 2Godio continues to show his
divine versatility when using his vocal chords to sing soulful Urban Gospel testimonials such as "Rain On
Me", "Favor", "Relationship" and "Go Through". His interpretation of Urban Gospel, Rhythm & Praise, and
Holy Hip Hop will have you eagerly anticipating the Word that will come forth through his debut album, "To
God I Owe Everything". The timeless hit, "World Listen" is currently featured on the worldwide distributed
EMI/HolyHipHop records compilation, "Taking the Gospel to the Street – Volume II". 2Godio (Archie Davis)
is also featured on the hit song, "Dance Dance Dance" by Judah Generation (Mt. Zion Baptist Church
Youth Choir- Nashville, TN) which is scheduled for release in the summer of 2005. All selections
rendered by 2Godio clearly display the true reasons he confesses to the world that "To God He Owes
Everything". He is rapping, singing, and playing live soprano saxophone with precision. Take a moment and listen for yourself.
