One might recognize or define “substance” as a mass that occupies space; that which is solid and practical in character; a subject matter of thought or an actual matter of a thing. But, for Orlando “Substance” Rodriguez, taking on the moniker stands for going beyond what the eyes can see - beneath the surface and dealing with what is real. “Regardless of what others see on the outside, we should have the Substance of Jesus Christ on the inside,” he explains. “In essence, it’s all about living life from the inside out versus living life from the outside in.”

Known for his sincere passion for the Lord and his ability to reflect this passion for Jesus Christ, Substance has in a short time developed a committed following that crosses genres from Urban Gospel to Contemporary Worship.

The singer/songwriter has developed his skills over the years penning an extensive catalog of music and launching his own production studio. Although gifted with piano/keyboard skills, he doesn’t essentially consider himself a pure musician. But anyone who has experienced the worshipper creatively flow, understands the anointed combination of his singing and musicianship which evokes the sweet presence of God.

Substance continued developing his innate talents and found his music crossing cultural barriers. His fusion of sound was cultivated early as he was raised in the west suburbs of Grand Rapids, Michigan in a Puerto Rican household. His diverse upbringing had not only refined an instinctive flavor for a variety of music, but a comfort and passion for multi-cultural interaction. “People who love Jesus Christ are going to be attracted to each other because of the love we have for God and each other,” Substance expounds. “The more we focus on God and our common goals of building His Kingdom, the easier it is to interact and bridge cultural divides. I absolutely love the people of God and enjoy doing the work as a servant to the church and the community.”

His music artistry and production ministry is offered and executed in excellence with Jesus as the nucleus. “I think excellence in many ways is a state of mind more so than a particular style or approach,” he elaborates. "At the same time, I take my time with my projects and I am not afraid to commit the appropriate resources to get the quality that I am looking for. I have grown organically, so my audience has helped me dictate what is relevant and what they want to hear.”

Substance’s fan base is patiently awaiting his new project Turn The World Off. Substance has tapped the skills of producer Chuck Alkazian (Percy Bady, Desmond Pringle, Christina Aguilera) at Pearl Sound Studios in Canton, MI to capture his high energy performances, diverse styling and prolific songwriting talents. “The strength of this project is that it’s being built on soul and melodic fusion,” Alkazian shares. “Substance also has vocal ability that exceeds the majority and a songwriting gift that can move people without saying more than the obvious.” Substance has also collaborated with some of the industries’ most prolific and sought after songwriters – Eddie Tucker, Steve Siler, Dwight Liles and Tony Wood.

Orlando "Substance" Rodriguez is musically inclined, lyrically complete, and approachable. He daily seeks more of Jesus so he can impact more people with Jesus through his music. He is a true administer of music that a listener can both feel and listen to with the anticipation of receiving an experience that will activate an atmosphere of expectancy and worship.

Jah-Way

Jah-Way believes that our music ministry is not simply a performance; our ministry is the chance to allow others to see GOD through us. Our desire is to receive and follow GOD’s spirit as we lead others into the courts of HIS Powerful & Pure Presence. To GOD be the Glory is the proclamation on our lips and the order of our steps as we declare Hope to the nations. Jah-Way is commonly known as a group; however we believe we are family and pray for like-minded individuals to represent GOD in the fullest in the ways HE designs and desires us to. We are committed believers functioning as a unit for three key purposes: 1) for the worship of God, 2) for fellowship with one another, and 3) for evangelizing those still lost.

We are just vessels, placed here to ensure that GOD’s freedom to live and work through us now and until the triumphal return of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth. Not by our might, but by His Spirit. (John 14:6, 2 Corinthians 5:9, Romans 12:2)
