Got Dat Fire?
BIO

Robert Junior, born in Hampton, VA, raised in Newport News(Bad Newz), VA. Robert's interest in music started at the age of 9, when he went to his Grandfather's church on a Sunday.  The organ player didn't show up for service and his Grandfather needed an organ player. Robert's mother knew he was talented but it was kept a secret till now. So his Grandfather(late Elder Robert Knight) called him up to play the organ. Robert went up and played like it was nothing. It was an one time opportunity but others were still to come. By fifth grade, he was writing his own lyrics and performing on and off stage. Years later, he became a dj for his brother's group called "Da Sleepwalkers" which consisted of 12 members. A couple years later, he went solo but stayed as a dj for "Da Sleepwalkers"; creating grime and underground music for the group. In 1996, he decided to leave the streets of Bad Newz, VA and look for new things. Constantly traveling from VA to Kentucky and Mississippi and ending up on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii. There he stayed on the Island for four years and started his production company called "Lighthouse Productions". In 2000, he headed back to the states and moved to Upper Marlboro, MD, where he continued on producing music for the local scene. A year later, he headed to WA to bring the gospel to the NorthWest where he changed the company name to "Word Fire Records". It is here where he established his connections with the local artists in Thurston County.  Robert Junior started with one artist and now has a squad of soldiers. Robert is a "Man of Integrity"; a heart for GOD and a humbleness that will make you love him more and more.
