SACRAMENTO, Calif. - s4story -- There are songs you hear, and then there are songs that speak directly to the story you have lived. "I Survived," the powerful new single from FM2 & Intentional featuring acclaimed gospel vocalist Ruth La'Ontra, is more than a recording—it is a declaration of faith, perseverance, and victory.

Led by founder and director Freddie Moore II, FM2 & Intentional has spent more than a decade building a ministry and musical legacy rooted in the power of choir music. Moore's musical journey began in church when he performed his first solo at just six years old. From organizing a choir during his high-school years in Sacramento to establishing a professional choir in Los Angeles, his journey reflects what can happen when talent, faith and purpose come together.

Formed in 2015, FM2 & Intentional celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2025 and is now entering an exciting new chapter as the first act signed to Emerge, powered by Tyscot Records. Their debut project, Live from the Choir Stand, made a significant impact, reaching the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart.
