“I’m here with intent to elevate the heart and minds of all people with passionate intellectual poetic content. Real lyrics shaped from a real soldier and professional. From Afghanistan to Wall Street. Music remained my heartbeat. So the message of love, respect and order is how I speak.I’m sure I can help guide our culture and world forward. I’m sure I can assist with pushing a better narrative by way of restoring the balance of respect and honor. My songs will provide the framework of how to overcome all forms of obstacles in life. I will express multiple layers of pain and triumph. As an independent artist, I really appreciate all the support, encouragement and love. The momentum is strong and the vision and mission is certain.Respect and Light.”
