The Story
One Journey. Many Expressions. One Purpose.
Since 1995, music, faith, ministry, and creative expression have been woven together in the journey of Warren Jason Colbert, known as Mouthpiece.

Throughout the years, different brands, organizations, and ministry initiatives have emerged from this journey. Each represents a distinct chapter, a unique purpose, and a shared commitment to using creativity and faith to inspire, encourage, and reach others.
Mouthpiece Since ’95 brings these experiences together while opening the door to a new season of music, ministry, creative partnerships, and global outreach.

The Man Behind the Mission
Warren Jason Colbert | Mouthpiece Since ’95
Warren Jason Colbert, known as Mouthpiece and God's Anointed Mouthpiece (G-A-M), is a Christian hip-hop artist, songwriter, music producer, creative visionary, and minister whose journey of faith, music, and outreach began in 1995.
Born and raised in Lorain, Ohio, Mouthpiece developed a passion for music and ministry that would eventually take him into churches, schools, festivals, detention centers, prisons, and communities, sharing the Gospel through hip-hop, testimony, and creative expression.
His musical journey includes his work with the pioneering Christian hip-hop group Radical Fanatics alongside longtime friend and ministry partner Brother Lew Acosta, affectionately known as “The Grandfather of Gospel Rap.” Together, they helped create the Time Is Running Out LP, an EP, music video, and documentary, establishing a foundation for years of music and ministry collaboration.
As a solo artist, Mouthpiece released projects including Listen 2 My Demo, Y2K Anthem, At Last, and The Underground Years. Throughout his career, he has shared stages with Christian music artists including KJ-52, Priesthood, Urban Disciple, John Reuben, K2S, Dynamic Twins, Hazzakim, and God's Child.
A Journey of Faith and Restoration
Mouthpiece's spiritual foundation began in Lorain, Ohio, where he was raised in the church and received early Christian education. His faith journey eventually led him to House of Praise International Church in Lorain, Ohio, where he has been an active member for 32 years under the spiritual leadership of Pastors Gilbert and Eileen Silva.
At House of Praise, Mouthpiece was baptized and completed the church's membership and small group leadership training, further strengthening his commitment to discipleship, worship, and ministry. His decades-long connection to House of Praise remains an important part of his spiritual foundation and Christian walk.
In 2018, following a season of devastating personal losses and hardship, Mouthpiece experienced a profound period of restoration. Through prayer, faith, and the encouragement of his aunt, Evangelist Margaret Montgomery, he began rebuilding his life and rediscovering his calling.
Guided by Proverbs 3:5–6, his testimony became an enduring reminder of God's faithfulness, redemption, and the power of beginning again.
His ministry relationships continued to grow through Christian hip-hop, outreach, and discipleship. He previously served as Vice President of Kingdom Outreach Training Center, the ministry founded and led by Brother Lew Acosta, before the organization closed in May 2025.
A New Chapter — Mouthpiece Since ’95
Today, Mouthpiece continues to bring together decades of music, ministry, media production, and creative entrepreneurship under the identity Mouthpiece Since ’95.
Through Raise the Banner Media LLC, Kingdom Repz, Kingdom Outreach Network, and other creative and ministry initiatives, he is building opportunities for collaboration, artist development, discipleship, storytelling, and outreach.
With new music, visual productions, and ministry opportunities planned for 2027 and beyond, his mission remains rooted in the same purpose that began in 1995: sharing the hope of Jesus Christ through music, testimony, creativity, and service.
The journey continues. The message remains.
