Sitting here in the studio reflecting on what has taken place over the last 2 1/2 years, and all I can say if I'm completely grateful for this absolutely beautiful journey I've traveled on the road to my upcoming album, "XII".
It has been a very beautiful struggle, and I wouldn't change anything. The battles that I've faced getting this project done have made me a stronger and better person. A better man. I've learned a lot.
I was given the vision by God to do this album in March of 2011, so it's been awhile, and hasn't been easy but I'm glad to finally be able to start sharing my heart, my soul, and my music with you. This has been a huge undertaking, and the world needs this music. God chose a warrior to bring it forth. Not everyone would have been able to handle this mission. I guess the old agage, "To whom much is given, much is required" is true. I've REALLY learned that over the last year 1/2.
I have had to sacrifice a lot of time and money to make this thing happen, but again, I promise, I would not change any of it. Many nights I've cried because I thought I wasn't strong enough to handle what was placed in my heart. I wanted to give up and scrap the album many times, but words from a lot of you kept me going. Speaking positive over the situation, praying for me, praying with me, encouraging phone calls, texts, emails... I'm really thankful that I have so many people in my corner that want me to succeed.
I can't thank you all enough for your patience, supporting my Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, donating money to help with all that it takes to get this album done, buying t-shirts, pre-ordering album, coming to shows, buying me food, hugs, inbox messages, everything. I'm just really thankful to God for all of you right now and I had to express that.
You'll be happy to know that the process is almost over. All 12 songs that I need for "XII" are written, and I'm only crossing t's & dotting i's at this point. The 2 singles that I've released, "Stronger" & "Godsend" are being well received from you, my "B lievers, my peers, and also from the media. It's crazy to me that my work is being featured on websites that I've looked at and admired for so long. I'm glad that the music is being enjoyed and is inspiring others to keep pushing forward with their dreams. I'm a poster child along with many others that dreams really do come true if you have faith and are willing to put in the work.
I'm nearing the end of the tunnel and the light is getting much brighter.
"XII" is coming (Summer 2014) and I PROMISE you that it WILL be good. It will make you dance, it'll make you cry, life with be brought forth, people's lives will be changed for the better, and people's souls will be healed.
Just had to get these thoughts out. I love you all!!
