During this period of his life Eder would often talk to his good friend Feraaz and found that the topic of conversation would many times transition to Feraaz’ relationship with Jesus Christ. Eder was skeptical of religion and even harbored resentment toward Christians but Feraaz was the only Christian he knew that did not judge him. Eder’s life of hustling, club promotion and partying all came crashing down with the news that his step dad was being sent back to Brazil and his mother informed him and his brother that they were moving to Texas. Two days before he left Florida he attended a youth service with open heart for the first time. He remembered the conversations he had with Feraaz and knew that if he continued his life of sin it would only lead to destruction. Eder accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior that night and felt an unmistakable peace in his heart. When arriving in Texas, God immediately spoke to Eder the verse I Chronicles 16:23 "Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day".
Eder always had a special love for music but never considered being a musician until God opened his eyes to the impact music was having on youth. Eder followed God’s leading to become a music artist and discovered that he had the talent to write rap and hip-hop songs. He adopted E. Daniel as his professional name and teamed up with his good friend and rap partner Reveille to form the group known as HourSeven2. Reveille being a rapper before he met E. Daniel brought a lot of experience to the table. They spent countless hours both in the Word and making music together.
It was also during this time that E. Daniel met Jaime Gonzalez. Jaime was a local pastor that saw E. Daniel` s potential to impact youth, not only with his music but also as a youth leader. Together they started a youth group named G21 in Farmers Branch, Texas. E. Daniel and Pastor Jaime visited many churches encouraging the youth and presenting them with rap, worship and the Word of God. Today E. Daniel contenues to pastor at G21 and use his gift of music to make God known to the nations..
Here I Am

where the cloud touches light
At dawn that is
where you'll find me
Reaching out,
for something to catch
Closing my eyes,
while running faster than fast
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
You can watch me,
through the light
Through the sun, rain, wind
But soon they will all catch me
And one hundred one times,
I will doubt
Closing my eyes,
while spinning faster than fast
Tryin to stop right now
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
here I am ...
here I am ...
This was not a part of the plan
Clear as my thoughts
that will be found
This was not a part of the plan
And I can see it clear now
Clear as my heart
that I will never find
Far away from me now
This was not a part of the plan
Am I the only left now
Left for the others to be found
But why am I still here while
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
World is running upside down
Faster than fast ...
Hiding's never been my plan
So here I am
here I am
here I am ...

The singer seeks something to catch, but doubts themselves one hundred and one times. The refrain, "Hiding's never been my plan, so here I am" suggests that despite feeling lost, the singer is determined to keep moving forward and facing the world.
The lyrics also explore unexpected change and uncertainty. The lines "This was not a part of the plan" and "But why am I still here while world is running upside down" show that the singer is struggling to come to terms with the unpredictable nature of life. However, through it all, the singer remains determined to continue moving forward.
