About Me

I am the blue collar rage of blue collar pain from a blue collar stain. I am the solitary chill in a room full of noise. I am mislabeled, misunderstood, and mistaken. I am the low road to salvation that you cannot reach from your elevation. I am a lover of peace but the bringer of justice. I am the conversation no one understands. I am the ugly girl in a room full of beauty queens. I am the poor person who will never be in a romance movie. I am the white man who’s not on BET. I am the black man who’s not in "Friends." I am the preacher fired by his congregation for speaking the truth. I am the wife who is cheated on by her husband. I’m the man passed up for a promotion. I am the nice guy who finishes last. I am the man misjudged for his thick shell. I am the unforgiven son who will never be what his parents want him to.
I am the song the radio doesn’t play.
I am the voice of the voiceless.
You live what you give, you reap what you sow.
I have dedicated my life to helping others and to fighting against the selfishness, ignorance, and apathy that makes life today lose its meaning. All that I offer is hope. My God is a God of love, not fear. My music is medicine for a sick and dying world. Ignorance is the root of all suffering; open thine eyes and see, or blind thyself unto thy grave.

Influences: Anyone that is apathetic towards the state of the world we live in. Any politician who values money and power more than the overall good of humanity. Any religious person who judges anyone else and creates a hypocritical standard which no one can live up to. Any person who judges based on looks and possessions. Anyone who has ever stood in my way. Anyone who ever only thinks of themselves. Anyone who spends too much money on stupid materials that don't matter. Anyone who is slothful and wasteful. Anyone who corrupts the innocence of youth. Anyone who closes their mind to the truth for the sake of comfortability. Anyone who would ever rape, steal, or murder. Anyone who lies.
You have all made me who I am.

Sounds Like: Sometimes like heaven, sometimes like hell...just like life.
