Walter has been a vibrant figure in the performing arts since the mid-1980s, with his journey beginning in school plays and talent shows, gradually leading him to become an integral part of city and state musicals.

His passion for the arts found a meaningful direction in 1997 when he encountered Lamont M. Cooper at Building Together Ministries. For five years, Walter served diligently as a Youth Leader and Right-Hand Man to Lamont while pastoring in Goldsboro, NC.

During this period, Walter's artistic talents flourished as he performed with Living Epistles, one of North Carolina's pioneering gospel rap groups. His versatility established him as a respected performer, allowing him to take the stage alongside notable artists.

In 2001, he shared the spotlight as an opening act for Trinity 5:7 during Luther Barnes' midnight youth jam, a significant event that showcased emerging talent in the gospel music scene.

Continuing his success, Walter opened for Cross Movement and Israel Houghton in 2002 at the Upper Room COGIC youth conference, which helped to further solidify his reputation within the gospel community. His momentum carried into 2003, where he had the honor of performing as the opening act for TONEX at Campbell University in Buies Creek, NC.

Later that same month, he captivated audiences while opening for none other than Kirk Franklin at Carowinds in Charlotte, NC, and Kings Dominion Theme Park in Doswell, VA.

Walter's talent did not go unnoticed by local media. In June 2003, he made a memorable appearance on WRAL-TV 5's Spiritual Awakening, performing "One Way" alongside Cynthia Jones, capturing the hearts of viewers and further expanding his reach.

Additionally, from August 2002 to May 2003, he hosted the Gospel Jamz video show, which added another layer to his multifaceted career in the performing arts.

Walter’s journey illustrates not just his dedication to his craft but also his commitment to uplifting others through music and performance, leaving a lasting impact on his community and the gospel music scene.
