Born in New Orleans Louisiana, IV Conerly moved to California at the age of five, spending significant time in Los Angeles and later Escondido. By the time he was a teenager, IV became an alcoholic and career criminal; running the streets of San Diego and LA, becoming affiliated with gangs and violence. Weary of this life and the darkness engulfing him, IV began to seek out the church he had abandoned as a youth after a move to Jacksonville, Florida. A year later it was clear that God had a different plan for IV by calling Him unto salvation.

Having submitted himself to Christ, IV's story would no longer be destined to end in death and destruction but in love and grace - and IV's mission is to see the lives of people be supernaturally changed by the saving Word of God for the glory of Christ through his music; music that is inspired by gospel, jazz, and rap - and is radically charged with the Word of God. IV still resides in California with his wife and is committed to serving the local Body of Christ and those who may not have heard the Good News that saved his life.
