I want to write music that will outlive me.

Don't let your eyes refuse to seeDon't let your ears refuse to hear

Well, I looked my demons in the eyes laid bare my chest, said 'Do your best, destroy me. You see, I’ve been to hell and back so many times, I must admit you kind of bore me.

My goal is that when the last song is over, and you're walking back to the parking lot, you're already on your phone searching to find the next show.

I believe in the surprises of the Holy Spirit.

Don't follow in my footsteps. Be original, and create your own path. Be a trailblazer! Do you! Be better than me. Do you! Be happy and have joy in your life.
