Who I am.
Since I turned 19 in September, I have thought alot about why I make music, who needs to listen to it, and what I stand for. I will be honest -- I would like to be recognized in the international music arena.
I am a Christian. I have been since February 2 2002. I intend to be a Christian for the rest of my life, the date of the world, and eternal jam sessions in heaven. I believe that the essence of Jesus coming to this world to save us all is real. I have experienced the supernatural. I have since then studied many strands of theology.
However I have been a musician for longer than that, and God knows my dreams to become heard everywhere that can be possibly exposed to. I have talked about becoming a contemporary christian artist. Yet, I find this suffocating to comprehend if it did happen, and I find myself negated of expressing my every emotion if yet to be confined to a pilgrim's struggle.
I'm going to sing what I have been singing about for years. The world wants to hear songs about sweet love. I want to show them that there is heartache that they can relate to, as well as the sweetness of a love which is present in all stratas and can be found in a handfull of people.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I am who I am, and I'm not about to be confined to a safehold castle with a deep-trenched moat around it, serving soul-food to those who already claim the Blood of Jesus Christ. I will serve to others and they will see that I'm a musician that isn't hiding. I'm in the same industry as all the other bigshots and I'm doing fine and super living as a Christian. If that sparks any curiousity to listeners, then so be it. I'm not about to hide anything I believe in. But on the same token, it's not going to be in a way I am viewed as an out-spoken ambassador. This is a living thing. I practice what I preach. You can research, send the secret services on me, I can't lie who I am.
I thank God my life has been touched by His hand. I have hope.
