Amoz draws his inspiration from his profound relationship with God, feeling a deep responsibility to share his story and testimony through various art forms. His family also plays a pivotal role in fueling his creativity. Introduced to drawing and painting by his mother, her masterful works profoundly influenced his artistic journey. His siblings continuously inspire him to push boundaries and explore new horizons in his work.

Amoz earned his Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts with a focus on Graphic Design from DePaul University. His ambitious spirit took him further to study Art and Object Design at the Australian Catholic University in Melbourne, Australia. His talents have been recognized widely, with his artwork featured on Showtime’s television show "The Chi" and his murals showcased on NBC and CBS news.

As Amoz transitions into life as a husband and father, these new roles bring fresh motivation and inspiration to his creative endeavors. He is currently working on a comic book based on his life, with aspirations to adapt it into a television show and film.

Amoz is the founder of Golden Street, an organization dedicated to using art and culture to spread awareness of the Kingdom of God. Golden Street has painted murals throughout Chicago and established the Golden Street Underground Market, an art gallery in downtown Chicago. This space not only hosts events but also facilitates the buying, trading, and selling of contemporary art. Through his efforts, Amoz has helped Golden Street secure thousands of dollars in grants, providing more opportunities for safe creative spaces in Chicago.

Through his God-given talents, Amoz aims to make a meaningful impact on the world, continually inspired by his faith and family to create art that resonates and inspires.
