Nico Wells
I was born and raised in St. Louis, Mo. I grew up in a full house; 2 brothers, a sister, and both parents. My folks use to work a lot when we were young so we lived with my Dad’s mother. Granny made sure we went to Sunday services and bible study FAITHFULLY. I did not retain much about Jesus back then, but I do remember the hats Granny use to step out in! [Custom made of course.] I guess you can say that’s how that seed was planted. And throughout my life, God has been sending people my way to water it. My love for music led me to rapping in middle school. A couple of friends had a rap group which motivated me to write rhymes. I was told that my first 16 was pretty hot for an 11 year old, so I continued to write. As time past I improved, rocked a couple shows here and there, and even developed a small fan base. Although we were secular, it seemed as if there was always one person that wanted us to participate in events at their church. I now know that reason. But at that time, I could only do so many “gospel” songs. It didn’t feel right and I didn’t enjoy being a hypocrite. Even then, I knew that you couldn’t serve two masters, but I wasn’t ready to serve God. I was too busy living for myself; chasing after my own dreams and desires instead of caring about His will for my life. But once the Lord started tugging at my heart, and conviction started to drive me crazy, I finally surrendered and gave my life to Christ. When my eyes were opened to the ways of the world, versus the way of God and His Word, I knew that there was no way I could return to my life of sin. Now, happily married and 3 years into salvation, I’m chasing after Jesus instead of chasing fame. I am becoming a fisher of men, so that I can help save others from a destructive path. No longer will I seek temporary pleasure over everlasting life. No longer will I accept the glory which is due unto Him. He deserves it all so if He’s going to be jealous for me, I’ll be Nico wells for Him.
