I will never understand what it means to be a person of color, but I can do my best to empathize with the people who have lived under much marginalization and oppression due to their race. I want to recognize that I use samples and take inspiration from cultures all around the world to create my music. My genre is a blend of my own creativity and that of other musicians, particularly people of color, that have had a profound influence on music since the dawn of time. In particular, African people have shaped almost every genre of music known to man. I also take inspiration from Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and many other cultures to create the music that I make.

Umoja is the swahili word for Unity—meaning to strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race. This song incorporates Mongolian throat sining and Senegalese vocals with trap 808s to create a really fun and high energy song. French is the Senegal national language, and there are over 30 languages spoken in Senegal. So, I chose the Swahili word Umoja for this song to declare that the music that I create is a symbol for unity across borders and across race. I never knew that throat singing and African singing could be so incredible together—and what an amazing world we live in where this is even a possibility.

All of my music, and this song in particular, is a tribute to people of color across the world who have given me the ability to use the incredible musical vocabulary and instruments from their cultures. I want to explicitly express my immense gratitude and appreciation for these people who have shared and given the rights to their music to use in my own creative process. 

I choose to use my undeniable privilege to do my best to make the world a better place for everyone around me regardless of their race or nationality. Everyday I look to see how I can be better for everyone around me and how I can serve the planet more. 

If you are a white musician I would encourage you to also recognize where your music comes from and the people that made it possible for you to create what you create. May we all continue to unify and to not let the powers that be tear us apart and make us villainize one another. With love, respect, and gratitude.

“Pieces of Me” is a soulful R&B ballad about rebuilding yourself from brokenness. With smooth vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and emotional production, the song captures the journey of turning pain into power. It’s vulnerable yet uplifting, reflecting the scars of the past while celebrating the strength that comes from surviving them. Raw, honest, and deeply personal, this track stands as an anthem of resilience — piecing together love, loss, and healing into something whole again.

Verse 1
Like a spark in the wilderness, You call my name, Through the valley of dry bones, You breathe the flame. Ezekiel’s vision, the Spirit’s alive, Rattle my heart, Lord, let Your fire revive!
Your mercy’s a river, it’s breaking the stone, From the throne of Your glory, Your power is shown.
Burn up the shadows, consume all my fear, Holy Spirit, ignite me, I feel You draw near!

Chorus
Fresh fire, fall down, let Your glory surround, Blaze through my soul, make Your praises resound!
From the heavens to the earth, let Your Spirit ignite, Pour out Your power, Lord, set my heart alight!

Verse 2
Like Elijah on Carmel, I’m calling Your name, Send the fire from heaven, let it burn through my shame. No altar of Baal can stand in Your way, You’re the God who still answers with fire today!
Your Word is a furnace, refining my ways, Psalm One nineteen, Your truth lights my days.
Melt every idol, let my worship arise, Like incense to heaven, my heart’s sacrifice.

Chorus
Fresh fire, fall down, let Your glory surround, Blaze through my soul, make Your praises resound!
From the heavens to the earth, let Your Spirit ignite, Pour out Your power, Lord, set my heart alight!

Bridge
Like the bush that was burning, yet never consumed, Your presence is holy, my heart is renewed. Moses stood trembling, I’m standing here too, Speak, Lord, Your servant is listening to You! On the road to Damascus, Your light broke the night, Like Paul, I’m undone by Your glorious sight. Transform me, consume me, with heaven’s desire,
Holy Spirit, baptize me with fresh fire!

Chorus
Fresh fire, fall down, let Your glory surround, Blaze through my soul, make Your praises resound!
From the heavens to the earth, let Your Spirit ignite, Pour out Your power, Lord, set my heart alight!

Outro
Joel’s promise is stirring, Your Spirit outpoured, Dreams and visions, Your kingdom restored.
Send revival, awaken this land by Your might, Fresh fire, oh Jesus, keep my heart alight!

Fresh Fire

Lyrics:
Open my eyes
Cause theres nothing we can't do
And I'll be alright as long as I'm with you

I feel like I can see clearly understanding sincerely
My love is dearly no cloud above is dreary
Eagle is soaring and lions are roaring earth and its glory
Write a new story willows are weeping volcano sleeping
Dolphin is singing and the ocean is healing
My heart is sinking from the cup I am drinking
Rivers will flow and with this world I must grow so here we go
Feel the sunlight shine I can see everything I can see everything

Open my eyes
Cause theres nothing we can't do
And I'll be alright as long as I'm with you

So now we'll sit and we'll talk about the things as we walk
We'll move like hands on a clock keep finding keys to unlock
Beauty of nature there’s something much greater life that is later
Look for a savior begin a new chapter and we'll look towards the after
I can hear laughter and its climbing up faster all the world is turning new Lessons I'm learning feeding my soul so here we go feel the sunlight shine
I can see everything I can see everything

Open my eyes
Cause theres nothing we can't do
And I'll be alright as long as I'm with you

I'm wide awake and living
I'm wide awake and living
I'm wide awake and living
I'm wide awake and living
I'll live the life I'm giving
I'll live the life I'm giving
I'll live the life I'm giving
I'll live the life I'm giving
I'm wide awake and living
I'm wide awake and living
I'm wide awake and living
I'm wide awake and living
I'll live the life I'm giving
I'll live the life I'm giving
I'll live the life I'm giving
I'll live the life I'm giving

Feel the sunlight shine I can see everything
I can see everything open my eyes
