Fresh IE
The sight of a blind man changed the life of Rob Wilson forever. Standing in a busy
street by himself, Wilson quietly pulled the blind man out of harm’s way. Later
on that day, the same blind man was found sleeping by Wilson, sleeping on the front
steps to his house. The question many people ask is: how did the blind man find
him? For the answer to that question, there isn't one. Something Wilson did know
was that this was a sign from God, showing him that he was walking blind through
life and headed for disaster.
The rest is history.
Fast-forward over a decade and you will find Rob Wilson, better known now as "Fresh
I.E." (Fresh In Eternity). Since transforming his life and discovering his
purpose through hip-hop, Wilson has achieved musical accolades and success far beyond
his wildest dreams. In 2003 he became the first ever Canadian hip-hop artist nominated
for a Grammy Award (Red Letterz) which he followed up in 2005 with a subsequent
Grammy-nod (Truth Is Fallin In Tha Streetz). His music has also found mainstream
favor with his singles getting heavy rotation on Q-94 FM in Winnipeg, not to mention
charting as high as number 2 on the Christian Hit Radio Charts (CHR).
With all of the recognition and awards, you might say Rob "Fresh I.E."
Wilson's career has reached a pinnacle.
Wrong.
This is only the beginning. Back in 2000, Wilson had a vision of a center with four
doors pointing North, South, East, and West. A place to help kids get off the streets,
teaching them the arts of music, drama, and life skills. The implication of his
newly launched label, Kingdom Music, is merely the first step in building the vision
that God has called him to.
