We are all given spiritual gifts, and Wilfredo simply wants to use his gift to bring glory to God through Jesus Christ.
Versatile with the pen, the Florida born Puerto Rican lyricist preaches the everlasting gospel of grace using his gift of wordplay. Though he first developed a love for hip hop growing up in Lynn, MA, he later infused Latin/Caribbean styles into his music when he moved to Orlando FL. So that means the bars aren’t limited to just English either. Wilfredo can craft a message in Spanish as well, carrying the gospel message to twice as many souls.
If Wilfredo could sum up why he’s so passionate about his music, he would simply say- “My life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.” Acts 20:24

AUTOBIO
Born and raised in the vibrant cultural landscape of Lynn, MA, music has always been my greatest passion. Influenced by the diverse sounds of Latin, Caribbean, and hip-hop music, I discovered a love for creative expression through songwriting and performance. As I grew, so did my desire to blend genres and languages, leading me to explore the power of bilingualism in my music. Upon relocating to Orlando, FL, I embraced the opportunity to further refine my craft, infusing my high-energy delivery with eclectic influences to create a style uniquely my own. Beyond music, I'm dedicated to giving back to the community, particularly through my work with SALT Outreach, where I collaborate to support the unsheltered population in Orlando. With each song, I aim to inspire, uplift, and connect with listeners on a deeply personal level, inviting them to join me on a melodic journey filled with joy, unity, and endless possibility.
