When I was kid I loved reading comic books. The issues I enjoyed the most were the ones that told a heroes origin story. This album is my “origin story”. While I’m no hero, I do have a story to tell and my story was shaped by four events that all happened…in 1993.:

* Death of my mother.
* Falling in love with music.
* Viewing pornographic material for the first time.
* Giving my life to Christ.

Each song on the album will be told through the lens of these four events and give listeners a peak into what shaped me.


SIDE A – Past
1. Mountains
2. Nothing But A ‘G’ Thang
3. Melodies (From Heaven)
4. Redemption Song ft. Armond Wakeup & Adam L.
5. Never Knew Him

SIDE B – Present
6. Mirror
7. No Flex Zone (Re-Imagined)
8. Made of Love (Charity)
9. Final Frontier
BONUS TRACK – Magic & Kareem

SIDE A is set in 1993 and touches on dealing with the death of my mother (“Mountains”), falling in love with music and exploring my musical tastes (“Nothing But A ‘G’ Thang” & “Melodies”), and hearing the gospel for the first time (“Redemption Song” & “Never Knew Him”)

SIDE B, If Side A is the “Cause”, Side B is the “Effect” and is set in the present.  It explores me being aware of the many sins in my life (including Pornography) and shows me maturing, growing, and walking out my faith (“Mirror” & “No Flex Zone”).  It also shows how pornography has warped my view of love now that I’m in a relationship (“Made of Love”). And lastly the album concludes with me accepting my call to make God honoring music (“Final Frontier”)

BONUS TRACK – This song shows where I’m at currently as an independent artist and vents some of my frustrations.

My view of the world of music is simply that music is a true depiction of our everyday emotions, so why not sing about everything we experience in life. I mirror my styles from a mixture of Inspirational, Gospel, NeoSoul, R&B, HipHop, Jazz, Country and Rock. We all have a story to tell, so I will use my love for all music to tell my story as I like to give back through the blessing God has given me; my voice. Welcome to my Channel.
