Music Submission: MC Tempo
Originating from a broken home in England, MC Tempo (Mark Edwards) was expelled from 4 schools following the divorce of his parents and the death of his younger sister.

He found himself performing on the underground music scene from 15 years old. He later lost his hearing in his left ear whilst performing at an illegal rave event. Progressing on to staging illegal rave events, he met a Christian who took him to ‘Emmanuel church’ in Brighton, UK. It was here where he was prayed for in the name of Jesus and had his hearing miraculously restored. As a result of this, he became a Christian and his music naturally followed suit.
