More Than a Brand. It’s a Blueprint.

I am Next Level Calvin—teacher, builder, and man after God’s heart. My calling is to embody God’s character at home, preach His truth, and model freedom through faith and disciplined work.

My journey so far

• 2007–2011: Early Years and the Calling
  After serving in the U.S. Army as a communications specialist, I felt the call to use my voice—not just technically, but spiritually and creatively. I began crafting songs that reflected my inner journey, my questions, and my convictions.

• 2011–2017: Music, Ministry, and Momentum
  I released my first major projects and began traveling for music. I shared stages with top Christian artists, performed live across the country, and brought my brand of conscious, faith-driven hip-hop into churches, clubs, and community centers.

• 2017: Super Bowl LIVE Performance – A Major Milestone
  I performed at Super Bowl Live in Houston, opening for Lecrae and others. It was a moment of validation for years of grinding.

• 2020: The Blackout Coalition
  Amid national unrest, I founded the Blackout Coalition—a movement that called for economic and social protest against racial injustice. Within weeks, it gained national attention, unified thousands, and made headlines. It was a moment of reckoning—not just for the world, but for me. I realized my voice was needed far beyond the stage.

• 2021–2024: Entrepreneurship and Education
  I pivoted toward coaching, digital marketing, and business consulting, helping others grow their brand and find their voice. I returned to school to further my education, working toward a Bachelor's in Divinity and eventually seminary school.

• 2025–Present: Next Level Founders and the Rebrand
  I launched Next Level Founders, a mentorship-based business and empowerment network helping others heal, empower, and build. I also launched Next Level Calvin — to serve as the home for my movement, and mission.

why i do this

I’ve always believed that the truth should be loud — louder than fear, louder than trauma, louder than silence.

My mission is to use every gift God gave me — music, words, strategy, presence — to elevate others. Whether it’s a teenager hearing truth for the first time through a rap lyric, or a business owner finding clarity in one of my trainings, I’m here to help people grow. Not just economically, but spiritually, creatively, intellectually.

I don’t exist to fit into boxes. I’m here to break them.
