"Adeodatus The Goldchild" -- (emcee)
A North Jersey native, has been writing lyrics and performing music for 15 years. His alias, ADEO, is inspired by the fables of Saint Augustine, famous for his philosophical and spiritual writings. Augustine birthed his only son, Adeodatus, in the year 1200. Following a rebellious youth misguided by the pleasures of excess, it is told that Augustine, in a quest for higher meaning, rose to levels of near flawless morality. Thus, given his parallels in spiritual awakening, Adeo equates himself to a modern-day son of Augustine – spitting righteous, conscious flow with messages of mutual respect and his beliefs in the commonality of mankind.
 
“Blindman” -- (keys, vox)
Also a North Jersey native, Blindman has been writing and performing music since 1994. He hopes to inspire people to truly recognize God's love in their hearts.  Blindman views music as a universal mode for relating to people that is not only heard, but also felt. As a composer of the band’s music, he aims to capture the rawness of personal life experiences and convey spirituality in a strictly nondenominational fashion.
