All five of these youtube music videos are my most watched music videos to date that have garnered over 300 hits and above in a few short weeks. These have done so well , that it has impressed me. I was doubting myself a lot during the video making process although I knew my music was superb. I lacked the confidence in my music video project because I did not have the large budget it took as an indie artist to make one. Secondly, I did not have a plan of action of how I would create or even execute a video to accompany my music. Since it was an all instrumental album, it was quite difficult to make but someone I manage to create randomly a visual explosion of waves, shapes and rainbows of colors because that's what artists do they think on their feet and, they aren't afraid to take risk and I did just that.I know my videos might not be all that great although I have heard some positive comments about them,but I hope you take the time to understand that it's not about the video it's mostly about the music that I created for your listening pleasure. Please take the time to let every not resonate in your mind, savor it and be taken away to a enchanted musical dream land.

Is a song just a song?
No , it can teach you
Right from wrong
Or bind you to a sing-along
With repetitive lyrics on and on
So no my friend, a song is not
Just a song
It can stretch your vocals short or long
Its words are grand and strong
it can put you where you belong
And plaque you all yearlong
Yes, oh yes ! a song is not just a song

Should a christian artist cross over to mainstream music or sing secular music in the first place? As a christian and a musician I , personally think they shouldn't . Although everyone has to take accountability for their actions and make their own adult decisions, I am in no way passing critical judgements as I am judging righteously. As a christian , we are always suppose to keep focus on the spirit; God's Spirit. Keeping our minds and thoughts on the Heavenly things above. If we as christians start to sing secular music about sex , drugs, money and other subjects, it will one day manifest in our lives. Whether one chooses to believe this, we actually become what we do or say eventually , you would be surprised how often it happens. It's like watching a commercial and suddenly craving what we see and going out and buying it. As a christian our mind should focus on God and His will so we could progress in life not regress. As if , we don't have enough problems being a christian with temptation and persecution, why would we open the doorway to let more demons in our lives by corrupting our lives. By nature, we have the tendency of being obsessed with things, why can't we be obsessed with the Almighty God and stopped living double lives as christian. The Bible, always say to worship The Lord in Spirit and in truth, with shouts of praise and song. Look at these scriptures for guidance ; psalms 33:2,40:3, 144:9

There is an evil that lurks in the shadows
Unseen and unclean
That will rip your very soul apart
As it tries to conquer your heart
This evil will pull you in
With it's enticing sin
In the deepest pits of Hell
Is where many fell
For it's trickery and deceit
And now they burn with heat
Wishing they had clinged to the Heavenly savior
And changed their unGodly behavior
Before it's too late
For death you cannot wait
To turn it all around
When they put you in the ground

What's this music that puts you in a trance?
That makes you want to get up and dance
Each and every starry night
Upon the stage's spotlight
With crowds chanting in your ears
That you forget you ever had fears
about being the center of attention
there's a momentary suspension
Where you take it all in with ease
When time starts to freeze
for the stage is your friend
Till the bitter end
When all the fun
Is all over in done
The memories will last
And will remind you that you had a blast
That it was the music all a long
That inspired each and every song

I hate music genre discrimination and stereotyping . Yes you heard me it does exist. You know when people judge your behavior based on the type of music you like . Whether that being rock, hip hop , rap or pop. I think it's all rediculous . Another thing I can't stand is music stereotyping where someone automatically knows what music you like or listen to based on your ethnicity or gender. For example, this guy who is the same ethnicity as me the other day assumed i was listening to rap on my ipod but instead i was listening to classical. When he found out I was listening to classical he was shock because he said people like me don't and I was the exception. That is so absurd, why does this world feel like they have classify or divide everything? Why do some feel like certain music genres belong to other erhnicities or cultures?Why can't we all like what we like and it not be based on who or what we are? people need to understand that even though our appearances are different , we are the same , Human. Music should be seen as that universal thing that should bring us all together not divide us.

Throughtout our daily lives we are bombarded with people saying on numerous occasions that they'll believe it when they see it , whether it's through characters in a film or a book saying it. At the sane tune we can't believe everything we see with our eyes cause things can be manipulated through technology and even science. We are so far advance in this world that people often forget that some things that we actually see are illusions . However, there are things in this world that are hidden in plain sight, things right infront of us but we are too blind to see. We don't often pay attention to the details presented before us.

The truth is if we wait to believe something after we see it, it'll be too late to prepare for it when it finally appears. Whether we want to believe or not, there is an invisible world that is very present with us today. Therefore, everyday we must proceed with caution not believing everything we see but be more circumspect of the world before us. We must understand why we are indoctrinated with the "seeing is believing" theory. We must investigate every popular phrase and find out why it's used. As intelligent creatures we must investigate everything be cautious of everything and thing twice to make sure of everything.

For years I've struggled with rejection. This constant nagging voice that haunted me by saying your not good enough. This negative voice made me doubt my abilities as a musician. I was always told by others that I did have the talent and voice of an artist. However I didn't believe I had what it took for I was plaqued negativity. I didn't have the confidence, until one day I started to reject those voices. I didn't let them dictate my life especially my music career. If I didn't have my new found confidence I wouldn't have the incentive to write songs, compose music and even sing loud and proud alone or infront of a crowd. Though the confidence didn't happen overnight like most people with anxiety I manage to free myself from it. I placed the fear aside, I confronted it and said I won't let you stop me from making my dream a reality. I got one life to live so I said to myself what the hey I going to do what I love and please myself whether the audience loves me or not, it won't stop me from doing the thing that brightens my day. I also did a lot of prayer and subtle meditation like mostly hums to calm me down if my pressure rose.
I found that music was a powerful tool to cure some disorders and that's why some therapist study music therapy. It has that calm soothing effect. Whenever I would sing or compose music in the studio I felt something undescribable within me changing. I felt like this warm relaxing sensation throughtout my body as if I had been transformed to another dine tin. It was nothing but peaceful bliss something similar to falling inlove. Whatever tension I had harbor end up doing the day had been release. I started to realize that it was that peaceful music that I heard that just had transformed me in just a couple of minutes. Since that day, I now make sure I carry my iPod with me just invade an anxiety attack would flare up I'd be ready to just pop the device in my ear to be in a state of tranquility.

Music keeps me up at night
Music tucks me in so tight
Music makes me feel alright
Music makes me shine so bright
Music is my guiding light
Music keeps away my freight
Music is my extra height
Music is always in my sight
Music loves me with all it's might

One by one we're marching to our graves
Our underground burial caves
To lie beneath the dust
While our bodies rust
In the damp and dreary night
While the living dwell among the light
Waiting to meet their unknown doom
They can only assume
Having never been out of breath
Never ever tasting death
How it will be
For in the darkness they cannot see
The misty and the gloom
When they lie within their tomb
For they living will never know
When it's their time to go
They may suffer along the way
But they do not know their final day
When they will die
Some won't even say goodbye
For it happen so quick
With one flick
And their gone
Before dawn
