"I could've died in my mother's womb, they were screaming abortion. I'm glad she blocked out all that noise to my great fortune." Those are lyrics from my last album, Sounds of a Dreamer. My mother was 18 when she had me and only 16 when she gave birth to my brother. She's the youngest of 7 children. Her siblings tried to convince her that she was too young to have another child. How in the world would she support two kids without a high school diploma? But she fought for me...and now I get to fight for others just...

Ever since I was a little kid, I've always loved music.  I used to be amazed by the silky instrumentation of Al Green and the soul of B.B. King blaring throughout the house. If you've never heard "Love and Happiness" or "The Thrill is Gone" growing up, lemme tell ya...you weren't raised right. When I'm down, God encourages me through good music. When I'm up, my boys and I dance around in the kitchen to good music (snapchat @artofhomage). Whether you're about to workout or on the car ride home, I've curated a list of my music for 5 occasions....

I keep a stack of notecards in my back pocket; tucked away in a pastel themed sketchbook where I jot down notes and ideas to dwell on throughout the day. Now I'm aware that doesn't sound very manly but hear me out...

Last week, I wrote a blog entitled "How Failure Propelled My WRSHP" which has now been shared over a hundred times on Facebook and Twitter combined. Crazy right? The honesty in that post struck a chord with many. We can all relate to some level of disappointment in life. I often find myself looking in the rearview mirror wondering if my latest actions will take me back to that place. That's why I had to follow up that post with a song called "Prevail." First off, I have to let you in on something...Crystal has been wanting me to put this out for a while....

I always knew I wanted to run my own record label and design product, but I never knew how hard it would be. I remember standing before a crowd of over 1000 people and hearing them sing along to He's My King. As I'm walking off stage to the roar of a packed venue, I'm thinking to myself, this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. Heart pounding; adrenaline rushing...what a feeling.  Then it all fell apart. Getting emails from a teenager explaining how a song you've written helped them rethink committing suicide, or a...
