"Music is my life and it's everything that describes the person I am today.
It's the way I portray myself, it's way I choose to live my life.
Music is my highs, and my lows. It's my joy, and my pain.
My music is a representation of life itself, not just my own.
If I could accomplish anything with my music it would be to reach out to people, to touch lives, to give people hope to follow their dreams, to fight for what they believe in and fight for a better tomorrow.
Before your born your life has already been written, but it's up to you as a person to make the right decisions.
It's in your hands to bring a change to the future.
Life is a blessing that shouldn't be taken for granted, because everyday is not promised."
