“I’m giving my testimony about how I’m embracing my faith and how it has changed my life, my music,
my marriage and my whole perspective in everything,” Salt told Vibe.com exclusively. “Once I reached all of my goals, there was still a void inside me, so I had to change my definition of
success. I started pursuing the whole pie. I consider myself more successful now.”
The Friday evening service will be held on September 29 at 7pm at the 25,000-member Christian
Cultural Center (CCC) in Brooklyn - New York City’s largest church - where Salt is a member.
The C3 Youth Ministry services are held on a bi-weekly basis as a way of bringing positive messages
to youth citywide. The church is located at 12020 Flatlands Avenue in the Canarsie section of
Brooklyn. It is a non-denominational ministry that oversees a number of highly effective and
successful outreach programs in the New York City area, including a food pantry that regularly
serves the community on Thursdays.
Salt plans to deliver a message to teens that will allow them to
stand firm in their faith and not be molded by the images in mass media.
“I want them to embrace their own standard. I think they fall into the trap of letting the media
define them, and through embracing their faith, it helps them to learn what God says is within
them. I want to encourage them to embrace that. No one should force them to do the right thing for
themselves.”
Salt recently completed an album entitled Unwrapped, set to be released March 2007. The album is
executive produced by Jason “Kid” Williams of Kid-n-Play, and will be released on Salt’s
independent label, GavFam.
“It’s just about my life, where I’ve been, what I’ve learned and what God has meant to me in my
life,” Salt says. “I’m not going to put a gospel label on it, because it’s simply about me.”
