Catholic Evangelist & Hip-Hop Artist

Carlos Zamora - C2Six

I’M CARLOS ZAMORA (C2SIX), A CATHOLIC HIP-HOP ARTIST AND PUBLIC SPEAKER WITH OVER 12 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN PERFORMING AND SPEAKING AT EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND INTERNATIONALLY.

GROWING UP IN THE LATE 80S AND EARLY 90S, MY HOMETOWN OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS REPORTED THE HIGHEST OVERALL CRIME AND MURDER RATE PER CAPITA IN THE UNITED STATES. I BECAME INVOLVED IN GANGS, DRUGS, AND OTHER ELEMENTS OF STREET LIFE. AS AN ESCAPE, I BEGAN TO WRITE AND RECORD “GANGSTA” RAP, EVENTUALLY SELLING OVER 100,000 ALBUMS INDEPENDENTLY, AND HAVE SHARED THE STAGE WITH MAJOR ARTISTS SUCH AS BONE-THUGS-N-HARMONY, CYPRESS HILL, AND MORE. IT WAS AT AN ALL-AGES CONCERT THAT I UNDERSTOOD THE IMPACT MUSIC HAD ON YOUNG AUDIENCES. CHRIST PIERCED MY HEART AND BEGAN MY REVERSION TO MY CRADLE CATHOLIC FAITH.

While I was born and raised Catholic, I was more of a cultural or a nominal Catholic. Due to a lack of understanding, I was led out of the Church when I experienced MY conversion. I became vehemently anti-Catholic and began church-hopping. Little did I know that MY prayers, studies, and diligent search for truth would eventually lead ME back to MY Catholic roots.

I LIVE IN FORT WORTH, TEXAS WITH MY WIFE OF 23 YEARS AND OUR TWO CHILDREN. I HAVE A PASSION FOR WORKING WITH UNDERPRIVILEGED, AT-RISK YOUTH, TROUBLED TEENS, GANG MEMBERS, AND PRISON MINISTRY.

TESTIMONIALS

Father Masseo Gonzales, OFM Conv. -

El Padrecito Ministries 

In my youth work as a Catholic Priest and Franciscan for the past twenty-five years, I have presented and performed throughout the United States and at two World Youth Days. If there was any one person I would want to travel and evangelize with - which has often been the case -  it would be with Carlos “C2six” Zamora. He brings a powerful conversion story with an urban flare, intelligence, humor, and a passion for the Sacraments - in particular the Blessed Sacrament - to all his presentations. It’s an honor to recommend him. 

Dr. Ansel Augustine

I have known C2six for over a decade.  His commitment to his faith, and his passion to evangelize those on the peripheries, is why I am honored to present with him whenever I can.  He is a treasure within our faith tradition and I would recommend him for any event that is looking for an energetic and devout presenter.

Daniella Rosas - The Sower - Los Angeles

Carlos has been to The Sower Los Angeles Young Adult group as a speaker and performer. He has collaborated with us in numerous events as a speaker and performer, including our annual Heaven Bound Concert. Carlos is always willing to help the Catholic Young Adult movements in Los Angeles and we are blessed to count on his support. 

Diacono Gregorio elizalde - Director del Ministerio Hispano
Arquidiocesis de Omaha

He tenido la bendición de trabajar con C2SIX por lo cual lo recomiendo ampliamente, un hombre de Dios con un carisma especial para acercar los jóvenes al corazón de Jesús, así como un fiel soldado de la Iglesia Católica.

Matt Swaim - the coming home network

Carlos is the real deal, and he has an amazing story to share. I've been privileged to work with him on projects where he's given his testimony, and I can't recommend him highly enough as a man of God and an articulate and engaging presenter on all things Catholic, especially when there's a beat in the background.

Fr. Brian Mullady, OP, STD

Carlos is a proven Catholic apologist and musician.  He would be an ideal source for opening people up to a renewed appreciation of Roman Catholicism.  He is highly talented and very well versed in his faith.  He would be a powerful speaker to those with little theological training and has a knack for making complex doctrines accessible to ordinary people. He is also fluent in Spanish and could attract this new and large traditionally Catholic audience back to their faith.
