Quote from Langston Hughes: Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die life is a broken-winged bird, that cannot fly.

Dreams don't expire. At least, mine never have. It took a long time and a lot of work to get here, but I am now making my dreams real and living my best life possible. Do I have a recipe to offer others to do the same? No. Everyone's path is a bit too different to know what will work for anyone else. But, I have my music, images and words. If those can help just one person find their way to a better place, my heart will be happy.

Quote from George Orwell: Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.

My goal with every song I record is to weave truth, hope and love; to give a voice to others who feel or have felt voiceless or unheard, to offer comfort to those in pain, and to celebrate as much as possible. I create or choose imagery to accompany the songs for an audio-visual hug from me to the world.

Quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson: To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - that is to have succeeded.

Am I going to bring global change with my art? Probably not. But, I hope to make a few corners a little brighter and see those corners shine their own light.
