On a Inconspicuous street located on the south side of Storm Valley lives an anti- Hero by the name of Relly Santiago aka The Postman. Being a hip hop artist by day, the dishonest music industry leads the Postman on his own agendas. The half cyborg rap phenom has a knack for overthrowing the industry rules and standards. Guided by his intelligent brother Christobal The Vision he seeks revenge in the favor of the nobody’s. On a Friday night trouble is brewing on the south side. Political ties leads the Postman down a path of anger and destruction! A knock at the door begins the night of terror. “Who is it?” Relly responds “It’s your cousin Boom!” Boom rarely comes out at a time like this so the postman knew it was trouble! “Come in” he announces. Boom entered the house with a face of disappointment. “Somebody hit my Cafe around 7:30 pm”....

So tell us about your project! What is the concept behind your project and the message that it conveys?
My latest project, "Signs And Wonders", is a Christian rock opera based on the first five chapters of the biblical book of Acts. The message it conveys is the story of the start of the Christian church, picking up where my previous project, "He Is Risen - A Rock Opera", ended. I grew up in the 1970s when the first rock operas such as "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Tommy", and "Quadraphenia" were released. I would spend hours listening to each one, with the headphones turned up and the libretto (lyrics) in front of me to follow the action. I wanted to create projects in a similar musical style, but with the story based on scripture.
Do you find yourself growing as a recording artist? Explain
Yes, I think I am growing a bit as a recording artist. This growth comes from continuing to improve my guitar playing, and in learning to use the many great software tools for music production that are available to an independent artist.
What's the best thing that has happened to you musically in the recent time?
I would have to say finishing this album project is the most recent best thing for me. There is a significant sense of achievement once you hear the final mix that makes all of the hard work worthwhile.
Suppose if there's another path for you besides music, what would it be?
Actually, music has always been my second path. My primary career was as a software engineer. There is a lot of synergy between engineering and music, and my technical background is quite useful during the recording process.
Would you like to have a dream collaboration, if so who would it be with?
No particular person comes to mind, but I am always open to collaborating with any talented Christian artist with a good voice.
Do you feel that your genre of music has a step of evolution to reach?
My music is part of the Christian music genre, which is always evolving. There are so many subgenres: Praise and Worship, Gospel (Southern, Urban, Traditional, etc.), Pop, Adult Contemporary, Rock, Rap/Hip Hop, Metal, Blues, Bluegrass, etc. As long as there are new musical ways of expression, Christian music can use them to glorify God.
Where in years to come do you see your legacy being forged?
If I leave any legacy, it would be to change lives through my music by encouraging listeners to look into their need for Jesus.
How do you manage to keep a creative mind in making music?
I try to do simple things like jotting down possible song titles or recording interesting musical phrases so I can have a reservoir of ideas to develop.
Any last remarks?
Thank you very much for this opportunity to be interviewed and answer a few questions about my music.
"Now Defunkt’s Runaway is one of those tracks that grabs you from the first bluesy heartbeat of the intro and doesn’t let go. In an era where you can tune out with a tap, this song pulls you in with a vibe that feels both nostalgic and boldly forward-looking. The bluesy riffs ring out right away, setting a space where the listener can settle in and brace for a story that feels big, like a page from a graphic novel that’s about to come alive. The songwriting here is something to applaud. It’s got that old-school flavor—the kind of thing your parents might hum along to—mixed with a futuristic spark that hints at adventures not yet lived. It’s as if the track invites you to step into a time-warped alley where the streetlights flicker with neon possibilities. Astrology gets a wink and a nod, painting a portrait of a young renegade who’s more superhero than stereotype. It’s a mission—mighty and personal at once—to remind us that youth has a voice, and when it finds its rhythm, it can...

After Boom and Postman arrived at Bobby’s restaurant they noticed something unusual. The back door that leads to the kitchen had been Pried open leaving boom and Post with a look of concern. Before they could set the fire, they had to make sure the restaurant was vacant. Just as expected, they over heard a voice inside the restaurant talking to someone on a cellphone. “I don’t know where he keeps the safe boss”. The man spoke. With the phone being on speaker, Rellz and Boom recognized the voice. “You keep searching!” Said the familiar voice. At that moment they knew the criminal was working for Tony’s brother Frankie Pachino. Frankie spoke again saying. “We need Tony to blame Boom for this. W e robbed Boom’s Cafe earlier today, and to me it wasn’t enough! With Tony’s cousin being robbed, he will d...
