”To me, writing this record had been one of the most challenging projects for me in my career. At times, I will sit and stare at a blank page and have nothing, no words to describe what I am thinking and feeling.

”To me, expressing a true and honest depiction of myself and the world around me is beyond important in fact to me it is my life.

”This morning, as I sit here to write, I am overwhelmed trying to find words to express my anger for those in this world who use hatred and a self-righteous condescending judgment to control and suppress others.

”We are severely lacking love in this world and it makes me beyond frustrated.

”Who do we think we are? Why do we treat each other this way? I will never understand it.

”I hope my words resonate and make a difference for this world. It is all I’ve ever wanted for my music.”
