Pain & Passion
Peace up! Blessings to the breadren. Hope all are having goals set and met, visions and plans are being realized. And I will get right to it. Some years back, I was sitting in line at a Wendy's drive-thru when I heard a phrase from within me: "THE ONLY FORCE STRONGER THAN PASSION IS THE FIRE THAT FUELS IT." I never heard it before, and I really didn't give it too much thought as I placed my order for a #4 with a Sprite. But as I began to think more on the phrase, so much truth started to emerge from it. To this day, I have kept it, and applied it to every aspect of my life. It has proven itself to be as true as water is wet. My point? Allow me to be of some encouragement today, and leave you with a little nugget, a pearl of wisdom. There are many, could even be YOU, that might be struggling with discouragement, let downs, disappointments with the honing of your craft and within the pursuit of success in music, arts & entertainment. And I want to remind you that these pressures are necessary for your growth and benefit. You will not appreciate the triumphs if you don't experience that failures. If you are anything like me, you know failure all too well, and you decided to take an alternative route in response to the disappointment or let-downs, and found yourself on a completely different path that seemed to open up wide before you. Take the bumps and bruises, the cuts and the scrapes. Then take the scars, and use them to tell your story. The only way that you can! I can't wait to chop it up with you about them! Before I go, I have to let you know that I have a brand new single scheduled for commercial release on April 27, 2018. "MasterMind" features the silky R&B voice of Jason, and paints a picture of overcoming insurmountable circumstances and standing up to be a voice for those who don't have one. Or at least, don't always seem to be heard. "MasterMind" will be available on all major digital stores and streaming platforms, including Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music and Tidal. Thanks in advance for the support and the connection! We will talk soon!
