Bio
What comes to mind when the words “Christian” and “Rap” are used together? To some words such as: sinful, rebellious, un-holy, and abomination. Others view it to be a useful way to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, artistic, creative, and inspirational. While the masses continue to debate, Preston Thompson Jr. aka Sir-Viva (pronounced sur-vy-vuh) has surfaced as an urban missionary to those who are influenced by the hip hop culture! With the hope of seeing Gods greatest creation turn toward the way of Jesus Christ and allow him to remove them from the many lusts and passions of this sinful world!
Sir-Viva has been ministering the Gospel through rap since 2003 and is the founder and President of Walk Right Ministries. Because he has migrated all over the country Sir-Viva incorporates a lot of the flavor that he has been exposed to into his music. With a passionate commitment to the kingdom of Christ, and a firm belief that there is no room for compromise when it comes to the gospel, Sir-Viva has become known for his upfront style and devotion to proclaiming Jesus Christ.
His testimony served as inspiration for his debut Christian Rap CD Titled- “I’m A Survivor”- and has laid a much-needed foundation for his ministry. Provocative tracks such as “God Aint Tellum to Write That” will challenge believers and non-believers alike to search the contents of the music we currently embrace! His sophomore album titled Luke 14:23 (In Action..!) will definitely embed itself in the hearts of youth and adults alike around the country; challenging them to come out of their comfort zones and glorify the Lord, by taking the Gospel to the streets. Sir-Viva’s third project titled “Live Laugh Love” -(coming soon!) is sure to catch ears and hearts alike as he promises it to be his best project yet!
By the grace of God Sir-Viva was nominated and received the award for Best Rap Album of the Year at the HGS Music Awards 06’ (I’m A Survivor); S.C. Rap Minister of the Year at the CHHHAA’s 2007 (Luke 14:23 (In Action...!) and nominated in 08’); Nominated for best Rap performer at the C.I.G.M.A’s 08’ and has received honorable mention at countless other events! Sir-Viva has also performed live on several Television shows and has ministered at hundreds of events like the annual H20 festival, C.I.G.M.A’s, and HHH Awards Atlanta to name a few!
As Christian Rap continues to grow in its many directions, Sir-Viva stands in the company of ministers that refuse to allow the enemy to claim victory over today’s youth and adults alike! As he continues pressing toward the mark , Sir-Viva vows to bushwhack the trail for the next generation to come. Watch out! He’s been hit, but he can’t be stopped! Why??? Romans 8:31
