C.M.P.

The self-taught Milwaukee native known as C.M.P. beat the odds by the grace of God. Coming from a split family where C.M.P.'s father was a drug dealer and his mother is a Christian evangelist, he lived in two worlds at once. When C.M.P. gave his life to the Lord, he felt compelled by God to "change the perception of men in his family" so he legally changed his name to Christopher McIntyre Perceptions, which is where his artist name originates from. As an artistic polymath, creating is like breathing for C.M.P., considering the arts became an escape that turned into a platform for ministry. His company "CMPerceptions" became the housing for the artistic legacy of C.M.P. which transcends solely music although his relationship with art started at 13 years old when he learned how to rap, produce music & write poetry. Within music, C.M.P. creates bodies of work more than singles that point to a forthcoming body of work. "God, Family, Business" is the mantra of C.M.P. that shines through his layered lyrics, lush self-production & intricate spoken word pieces. C.M.P. creates art that is unorthodox, peculiar & soul touching to accomplish the goal of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world at large.
