We would sing “He’s still workin on meee, to make me what I ought to beeee…” I’m sure it was partially, or fully, out of tune. But, adults like that stuff! J It made it a little easier for my dad---I’m sure it immediately gave him cool points! Ha. I didn’t really get into singing though until I was in high school, in Lynchburg, VA. I remember singing the mess out of that soundtrack before I would get up there and sing—and I seemed to choose songs with those looong awkward music interludes and intros.

I didn’t become fully involved with music until we had our first music director, Shannon Harris. He was perfect for our church. I never knew there was such a thing as being a full time music minister. My father was a preacher—so, I thought that was what God wanted me to be. And then, it happened----one day at the altar, God said “I have called you to preach---but I have called you to preach through music.” Ever since that day I went head first into music. When you hear God's voice and He gives you direction, it takes away the confusion and doubt! That is the reason I have worked so hard on releasing an album!

I am on an exciting journey right now. I used to be negative about EVERYthing. Thinking I wasn’t good enough…you know…all that stuff we tell ourselves. But, God has been stripping all that away for a while now, and He is taking me to a new place in Him. I am surrendering to the Almighty’s blueprint. I want to live out my intended purpose! But, I have learned I can’t get there by myself! I have tremendous family and friends who have been there for me! When I felt like giving up on my dream, they were there pushing me forward!

I am so pumped about REALITY, and I feel with all my heart that it is going to encourage and strengthen people’s faith in God and themselves.

This is just a little bit about me…I hope you enjoyed it.

God Is Love
Bryan Pound Lyrics

Sitting on the ground, as I'm looking at the sky
I see a shooting star, caught me by surprise
The beauty of the world and the wonder of the night
Had me asking why
You're a great big God, here is little me
Do prayers that I pray mean anything?
Where do I fit in this thing called life?

Sometimes I feel a little lonely
And I wonder if You care
But then I realize You love me
Or why would I even be here

God is love, God is love
Oh and i've found Him
Yes i've found Him
God is love, God is love
Oh and i've found Him
Yes i've found Him

Sitting on a step, just about to cry
Stabbed in the back, trying to take out the knife
Somebody said some things, took the joy out of life today
You're a great big God and here is little me
I've locked up my heart, thrown away the key
Never even thought that life could hurt this way

Sometimes when life ain't at its best
And everything around me seems to put me to the test

When the thoughts of doubt invade my mind
Thinking about Your love saves me every time
