Who is Wilfredo?
Wilfredo is a Puerto Rican rapper, singer, and songwriter whose music lives at the intersection of depth and levity—where theology meets pop culture, and vulnerability finds rhythm. Bilingual and genre-fluid, he blends hip-hop, soul, reggaeton, and alternative R&B into art that educates as much as it entertains—inviting listeners to wrestle, reflect, and grow.
Before the stage lights and concept albums, Wilfredo was steeped in the reggaeton scene of Orlando, Florida, and Lynn, Massachusetts. From 2007 to 2012, he honed his voice in that world—performing, recording, and immersing himself in the surrounding lifestyle. But as someone wired to seek meaning, he began to feel the emptiness behind the momentum. The music industry—and the version of himself it nurtured—left him dissatisfied. Beneath the surface, alcohol and disillusionment were taking root. That growing ache opened the door for something greater.
After a life-altering encounter with Christ, Wilfredo stepped away from music and enrolled at Oakwood University, where he earned a degree in theology. In 2017, a verse from 1 Peter 4:10 rekindled his desire to steward the gifts he had been given:
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
He realized the mic wasn’t just a skill—it was a grace-empowered gift, meant to be poured out in service.
In 2019, Wilfredo returned to music with Story of Redemption, an EP that marked not just a comeback, but a recommissioning. He followed with a growing body of work that bridges the sacred and the sonic, the personal and the poetic.
Then in 2021, Wilfredo faced the greatest loss of his life. After walking alongside his mother through her battle with cancer, Rosa M. Flores—his mother and deepest source of strength—passed away. Her death was shattering. Wilfredo moved back to Orlando shortly after, carrying both the weight of grief and the call to honor her legacy.
A product of that grief was Bloomed in the Moonlight, a project dedicated entirely to her. Written in just four months, the album features voice recordings of Rosa and closes with her prayer over the family. Though originally scheduled for release on Mother’s Day, a complete re-recording pushed the release to August 24—his mother’s birthday. The timing, in the end, felt divine.
Back in Orlando, Wilfredo began working with S.A.L.T. (Service and Love Together), a nonprofit serving the unhoused community in Central Florida. As the pastoral figure on the team, he offered spiritual care to individuals navigating hardship and invisibility. That season of street-level ministry planted the seed for what would later become Metanoia—a vision of creative and spiritual renewal shaped by listening, serving, and walking with the marginalized.
In 2023, Wilfredo released Metanoia, Vol. 1, a 4-track concept EP praised by Spectrum Magazine as “dense with concepts, emotion, and atmosphere.” The project unfolds like a spiritual memoir, with cinematic transitions, introspective lyrics, and what the review described as “a fusion of Ecclesiastes self-reflection and Pauline kerygma.” It reflects a life not just changed—but continually evolving.
Off stage, Wilfredo is an award-winning performer with a magnetic presence. From national festivals and college campuses to NBA halftime shows, he’s known for his breath control, conviction, and ability to hold both joy and weight in the same set.
Whether quoting Koine Greek, referencing Jim Carrey films, or singing through grief and grace, Wilfredo isn’t just making music—he’s translating the soul. He strives to be a third space where the sacred and secular meet—not as a compromise, but as a convergence—because he’s a product of that very tension.
Today, his mission is grounded in the words of Acts 20:24 (NLT):
“But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.”
For Wilfredo, that mission takes the form of a story.
Not just verses and hooks—but testimony.
Not just melodies—but mirrors.
He writes to remind us that God’s grace isn’t abstract—it’s wonderful. It has texture. Emotion. Weight. Beauty. It’s found in detours, recoveries, memories, and second chances.
Every song becomes a window.
Every lyric is a bridge.
Because to tell the story of grace well, you have to live it.
And Wilfredo is committed to finishing the work, one story at a time.
