Singer Sonny Sandoval, bassist Traa Daniels, guitarist Marcos Curiel and drummer Noah "Wuv" Bernardo cultivated their fanbase through street-level promotion and touring the country in vehicles that usually had one axle in the junkyard.
Traa Daniels: A lot of people don't know it, but we used to do jazz-Latin sets in coffee shops.

The album cover was designed and painted by latino artist Daniel Martin Diaz.
While Daniel claims he is a devout Catholic, some felt the cover was too negatively symbolic and many Christian music stores refused to carry the album.
Due to design issues, Daniel was asked to do the interior layout as well as the cover, a task he completed in less than a week.

Traa says, "I think that on this album, because of the time that we had, we were able to really take our time and let the Holy Spirit work through the songs.
Agreeing, Traa says, "Even just when we were recording with all of these secular music guys, when we left there, we left an impression on them that made them think, wow, these guys are cool, and I never knew Christianity could be like this.
Traa counters this concern easily: "I think Atlantic believes in us a lot more than people think they do.

Daniels and team would affirm such beliefs later that evening.
Not only would Sandoval address God through raised arms and a lifted head, but particular fans - after surfing their way to the stage - also shared in the experience by dropping to their knees at key moments of particularly spiritual songs.
Daniels said that in addition to remaining true to their faith, the members of P.O.D. have not forgotten where they came from.

Getting on P.O.D.'s tour bus in the backstage parking lot at SDSU's Cox Arena is easy, so long as you don't trip over the three skateboards or the pink Barbie tricycle just in front of the door.
Rather, these are the unaffected children of P.O.D.'s three San Diego-based members – Sandoval, bassist Mark "Traa" Daniels and drummer Noah "Wuv" Bernardo.
But the excitement of being backstage seemed lost on P.O.D.'s young offspring (Sandoval, Daniels and Bernardo have one, two, and three children, respectively; Sandoval and his wife are expecting a second this summer).

Traa lays down a superb bass line in the verses, and Sonny sounds great.

 P.O.D. Rock the 'Youth of the Nation': Live Review : Soul Shine Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Canadian winters sometimes dissuade people from coming up to the great white north, but that didn’t prevent rockers P.O.D. (aka Payable on Death) for putting on a show for Toronto fans despite the fact that their current Fall Brawl tour with Staind, Taproot and Flyleaf doesn’t stop in the city.
In spite of the cold on December 14 the boys from San Diego; lead singer Sony Sandoval, guitarist Jason Truby, bassist Traa Daniels and drummer Wuv Bernardo, brought energy into the Opera House with their unique mix of hard rock, synthesized beats, hip hop, reggae and a born again Christian influence.
The band was never one to hide their faith, talking about it in the media and saying “God bless you” several timed during their performance but they aren’t ones to shove it down anyone’s throat either.

Overall I like the whole band alot and Traa is a very talented individuall along with the rest of the band.

 HM - Internet Exclusives
Their first full-length album of new material in three years, Southtown delivers everything P.O.D. fans have come to expect in their music -- harsh, intense rapcore with an almost multicultural R&B, reggae, and Latin feel -- with greater attention paid to each member's individual influences.
Benson, who has worked with hard and modern acts like Sepultura, Motorhead, Less Than Jake and Zebrahead, helped insure that Southtown would also be the most smoothly-produced album P.O.D. has ever released -- without being slick in any way.
This type of prayerful and intense dedication to Christ informs and infiltrates the lyrics on Southtown, which, except for their gripping cover of U2's "Bullet the Blue Sky," were penned by vocalist Sonny Sandoval.

P.O.D. Payable on Death : Traa Daniels- I think that's all I need to say.
I've been a fan of theirs since before Brown (I think the album was called Wagon - or something to do with that).
I think his work on previous albums was maybe a little more emphasized, but his work on songs like "Will You","Execute the Sounds", "The Reasons", and "J and Identify" still show the enormous sound that the mighty Traa can put out of that Warwick bass and Eden rig.
