Phoenix Bio Composing his first rap at age 17, Eric tried to be a singer since he did not think he could ever rap. He called himself dirt Ebird and he was all about dance/party music. As he watched and imitated videos of popular musicians, Eric became a dancer. People who listened to his music began to say how was like a new version of Will Smith and asked if he ever thought about doing Gospel Hip-Hop. Hesitantly at first, he began Gospel hip hop and found himself being drawn to the Lord in a strong way, although he had accepted Jesus as Savior at age seven. Well, dirtEbird carried over into the new genre, but the meaning became:  you're dirty before the capital E, the Everlasting One, then after that you're as free as a bird!  Being free as a bird and turning to God, He took what I did and transformed it and showed me that I can praise and worship Him with dance and hip hop!  (http://phoenixofthekingdom.webs.com/)http://phoenixofthekingdom.webs.com/shapeimage_11_link_0
