In his book The Spirit Behind the Music, Michael Richmond II, reveals God's original purpose for music as a form of worship to Him and a source of healing and hope. He also explains how Satan, the god of this world, perverts music and uses it instead as a form of idol worship to him: inviting evil forces into the lives of those who accept it, encouraging people to adopt negative attitudes and behavior, and eventually leading them to destruction. This book is an invaluable resource for parents, youth, pastors, aspiring artist, and anyone seeking truth about the dark side of the music industry. "I can explain everything better through music. YOU HYPNOTIZE PEOPLE... and when you get people at their weakest point you can preach into the subconscious what we want to say." - Jimi Hendrix "I wake up from dreams and go "Wow, put this down on paper, 'the whole thing is strange. You hear the words, everything is right there in front of your face. I feel that somewhere, someplace it's been been done and I'm just a courier bringing it into the world" - Michael Jackson "I have someone else that takes over when it's time for me to work and when I'm on stage, this alter ego that I've created that kind of protects me and who I really am, Sasha Fierce is the fun more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when I'm working and when I'm on the stage." Beyonce Knowles-Carter

Michael Richmond II didn't envision a future of impacting the lives of hundreds of teens on a weekly basis. Yet, God's plan for his life led him to World Overcomers Outreach Ministries Church (WOOMC) in Memphis, Tennessee. Under the leadership of his spiritual father Apostle Alton R. Williams, he learned how to "Love God, Embrace Others, and Touch Destiny." This has become a part of his identity. Years after being in corporate America, he had an opportunity to speak in front of 15,000 people at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. He then realized that it was his destiny to motivate others. He now serves as the Student Pastor of XCHANGE Student Ministries at WOOMC, where he inspires teens to lead lives filled with purity, passion, and purpose. Michael and his wife Cortney reside in Memphis with their two children, Madison and Michael III
