Introducing DJ Nicholas

What can I say about this artist?  The first time I heard his testimony on "Testimony", I was moved to tears and goose pimples.  See, I grew up on reggae and caribbean music.  I was never convinced to join rastafarianism, but I did relate to the message.  The message of black pride and of freedom from oppression. To this day I still rever the teaching of Bob Marley thru his music. I read the biography of Bob Marley and realized that he was decieved into believing that Haile Salessie was God Incarnate.  I even discovered a sermon that Salessie made concerning that disillusion of the Jamaican Rastas' view of him as the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. 
Check out this video by DJ Nicholas and share it with all your friends, especially those who are practicing Rastafarians.

PROFILE

Biography

DJ Nicholas, birth name Nicholas Vaccianna Eccleston, Born the 29th of October, known in his early years as ‘nameless’ and produced dub plates (personalized songs) for sound systems such as ‘Nemesis and ‘Flawless.’ During this period, he began searching for his true identity; one night, he had a dream in which he saw fire falling from the heavens. In his dream, there was a Rastafarian in his house saying to him that he must know himself. As a result, he sought refuge in the Rastafarian faith believing that Selassie was God and became totally immersed in the Religion. Knowing that he was raised in a Christian home, he prayed for God’s guidance because he was confused about the path he was taking. While studying the bible intensely, he stumbled on Acts 4:12 which reads,”…There is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” This passage made him realize that Jesus Christ is the only way. Praises be to God, he received the word with thanksgiving. As a result, he shaved his hair and turned fully to the Bible for guidance and inspiration. He made the bold step of attending a church crusade at the New Life Assembly of God, Constant Spring Road. There, he got saved and baptized.

With the passion of knowing Christ, came another passion…the passion of gospel music. He pursued his dreams of doing God’s music by approaching Tommy Cowan who recorded his first single ‘Barrier’.
