Artist Bio
William “Ox” Tate Jr.

William “Ox” Tate Jr. was raised in the urban city of Richmond, California. Raised in church, Tate came up with the instillation of biblical teaching and preaching where his musical sprouts raised him from playing drums, to graduating to the piano, organ and leading his local and district church choir. With his passion for writing short stories and poetry, Tate was inspired by a childhood friend to take his passions and use them for God’s Kingdom by way of Gospel Rap. It was then Tate was introduced to Turf Ministries, a program designed to reach youth and inspire them to find alternatives to living a “street life” using biblical principles. 
As one of the main leaders in the Turf movement, Tate and his group ministered to prostitutes’, drug dealers and killers in the depths of the perilous streets of cities throughout Northern and Southern California. Preaching the Gospel and the Redemptive Power of Christ were their main drive to see the lives of troubled individuals changed and restored.
Tate ministered through music in various states throughout the country, including media coverage that reached international domains such as Korea. Tate opened up for Grammy and Stellar Award winning Gospel artist such as Tonex, Flame, Soul Seekers, Canton Jones,  and were given the chance to fellowship and be musically poured into by many well known artists. 
Tate is well known for projects like “Turf Unity Project” and Turf Ministries albums “How We Roll” and “Give Him 100”. He also went on tour with Recording Artist Freda Mitchell and Recording Artist AgerMan, formerly from 3X’s Crazy. Tate also shared the stage and was featured on various artist albums including Bizzle, Tachina Danielle, Operations Thugs, QGod Fear, Christ for Life’s Larry Austin, and many more.
Outside of his nontraditional outreach to the un-churched generations and troubled communities, Tate was recognized as a faithful leader in his church and was educated and elevated to become an Ordained Elder of the Church of God in Christ under the leadership of his Pastor, Elder Nathan Pree Sr. of Sion Miracle Temple C.O.G.I.C and his Bishop Prelate Albert Galbraith of California’s First Jurisdiction of C.O.G.I.C.
Tate sums his Ministry aspirations with the coined phrase:
“Spread the Gospel using Unconventional means to reach an Unconventional people!”
Tate is a faithful Husband to his Wife of 5 years, and counting, and is a loving father to a beautiful little girl and handsome baby boy.
