أنا متعبٌ يا أبي أعرف الآن كل شيء عن الوحدة وأعلم كيف يكون البؤس، من أعماق قلبي أريد أن أستحق حبكم جميعًا أنا الابن الضال الذي هرب يومًا

"When tragedy strikes our lives, time doesn’t heal wounds. Words of condolence are not enough to alleviate the painful heart, but once we start surrendering our wounded hearts to the magical beauty of music, we may just be able to find solace from within…" excerpt from SOLACE album notes.

Structured around 5 stages of grieving (Denial, Depression, Anger, Bargaining, Acceptance), SOLACE is a personal musical healing project I created to pay tribute to my father, who's life was taken away in a senseless gun violence on the south side of Chicago.  SOLACE stays close to my heart as I process and bring powerful closure to the past 25 years of silently grieving. I share SOLACE with millions of others suffering silently due to such unfortunate events. May the power of music bring us comfort and healing and enable us to seek compassion, forgiveness, appreciation and love for one another. Let's spread MUSIC and LOVE, not bullets and hatred, and make this world a better place. May God bless us all. Thank you!

'Eye Opener’ is one of my most personal and oldest compositions written in a time when I was an aspiring composer questioning my work as a Pop Music Engineer. Searching for meaning. Asking big questions. Getting quiet answers.
I still remember when I saw in a newspaper a disturbing picture of a sick African baby being breastfed and looking into the camera with wide open eyes. The headline of the article was 'Eye Opener'. It not only touched me but also inspired this work and set me on a new path. 
Over the years I produced some different arrangements of this track, but the first one was for piano and choir. 
At that time I was not able to afford a real ensemble and to get a more genuine and emotional sound, I painstakingly edited hundreds of short choir samples. It took me forever, but I am still very proud of it!  :)
This time I am releasing ‘Eye Opener' with my original choir arrangement but with the piano part re-recorded on my old Bechstein upright. 
Alongside this release, I also recorded an intimate piano-only version of ‘Eye Opener’. Enjoy.
