Group - One Body
One Body is a group defined by I Corinthians 12. The body of Christ is purposed to imitate the design of the human body. Every part is necessary to accomplish daily tasks. The feet and legs can walk but they require the sight and direction of the eyes and mind. One Body has set out to make the world aware of the purpose of the body of Christ and how to bring the many parts together.
Today One Body is promoting the release of a second album titled, “One Body Vol. 2: The Introduction.” On this album the lead performer, Darius Jones, and his co-laborers combine their experiences to simplify the word of God. The ultimate goal of this project is to introduce Jesus Christ to all who don’t know Him.
One Body was started in Alamogordo, New Mexico by Darius Jones in 2005. At the time, Darius only had a vision with no means to bring it to past. Shortly after, Darius’ close friend Adrian Mask, submitted his talents and equipment to the vision. In 2006, One Body released their first album titled, One Body Volume One. In 2008 Darius started the independent record label known as, Rhythm and Word Ministries and coined the phrase, “A Place Where Praise and Worship is a Lifestyle.”
While One Body’s first album is only available by request, you can obtain a copy of their latest project, “One Body Vol. 2: The Introduction” at any of the retailers listed below.

Darius Jones - CEO/Artist/Composer/Writer/Producer
Darius Jones is a Christian artist/musician. He combines his ability to sing with intellectual rapping skills to create a genre of music that appeals to a wide variety of listeners. At 23 years of age, Darius is mature enough to relate to his elders but young enough to remember the issues that plague today’s youth.
Today Darius is promoting his new independent record label, Rhythm and Word Ministries. R&W Ministries has just released an album titled, “One Body Vol. 2: The Introduction.” Darius is scheduled to appear at multiple venues in the coming months, including a show in Japan .
Darius’ mother, Ramona, first noticed his gifts while he was in first grade. His poetry was not that of a six year old. She nurtured his gift and encouraged him. As Darius grew older, he would join the United States Air Force. This move propelled Darius to a position where he could begin producing the music we all hear today. He has since released two albums and is currently promoting the second album as he prepares the next one.
Throughout all of Darius’ endeavors, he never forgets the purpose and the reason of it all…
…Jesus Christ.
Darius, One Body and R&W Ministries would not exist without Christ. It is the love the Jesus has for him, that pushes Darius to every stage to represent the Lord. His ultimate goal is to touch as many lives as possible through music.
Tarik Booze - Artist/Writer
Tarik Booze is a Christian music artist/writer from Macon, Georgia. He ministers the word of God through his southern style rap and his scripture-focused rhymes, reaching the lost, relating with today's generation, and encouraging believers to know the will of the Father.
Today, Tarik is featured on One Body Vol.2: The Introduction. He is currently working on new music, preparing for another album.
Before Jesus, Tarik lived life without meaning and without purpose but always had a love for music. He was caught up in the ways of this corrupt world until he met Jesus, our Lord and Savior. First, he was rapping for the world and now he is rapping for the Lord. Today, Tarik is focused on God's business, sharing the truth with the world through One Body.
As believers, we are commissioned by God to spread the gospel and to edify the body of Christ using our gifts. Tarik is an instrument used to glorify God and advance His kingdom.

Music is her passion, sharing the gospel is her mission, and the two combined is her avenue to fulfill the vision.
