As a founding member of acclaimed hip hop group The Cross Movement, The Tonic (a.k.a. John Wells) has toured globally, earned two Grammy nominations, a Stellar Award nomination and two GMA Dove Award nominations. He has been featured by media outlets as diverse as Time Magazine, CCM Magazine, The Source, Vibe Magazine and The Washington Post, and posted some of the highest street week scans in the history of Christian hip hop. The Tonic also serves as president and CEO of Cross Movement Records and burgeoning new media company, Issachar Media. With music that runs the hip hop gamut between rugged, street, gritty tracks and eclectic keyboard loops, The Dash tackles a wide range of rap music styles along with topics near and dear to the rapper's heart, including having a personal relationship with Jesus and the importance of being in community with other believers. The Tonic tackles these subjects with lyrical precision and catchy hooks that grab the listener's ears.
