Bio
Let me introduce you to a young man by
the name of Short-Tee a.k.a. Minister
U. Torrence Sims. He now resides in Birmingham,
AL with his wife Paula and daughter Imani
where they attend More Than Conquerors
Faith Church Stephen Green Sr., Pastor.
He serves in the youth department at More
Than Conquerors Faith Church as Outreach
Coordinator/ Assistant Youth Pastor. Many
have labeled him the “LL Cool J”
of Gospel Hip Hop due to his crossover,
energetic, hard hitting style.
Short-Tee(Some How Our Race Triumphs Through
Endless Efforts) is a born again Christian
with a high impact flavor that appeals
to different ages, races, and music listeners.
His first CD self entitled features a
song “ Mental Balisticz” showing
where he has put his faith. This young
brother has taken the negative influences
of a single parent home, drugs, gangs,
death, and teen pregnancy to name a few,
and turned it into a positive. He is determined
to minister the message that the odds
can be against you but with Jesus Christ
you can beat the statistics. His stage
show gets your blood pumping with a blend
of current hip hop beats and samples,
traditional gospel songs, dancing, crowd
participation, and skits mixed with original
lyrics like a chef in a kitchen. In this
kitchen everyone will find something they
can eat on and the desert will have you
worshiping our Lord & Savior and the
angels in heaven rejoicing about the souls
that were saved.
He has performed on numerous stages and
festivals. He has opened for groups/artist
