I'm proud of how this project turned out. It's exciting to witness my own growth and versatility as a producer through this project. My daughter Jade and son Jared continue to inspire and motivate me to create music. So this time, my son's mommy sent me a picture of him doing his homework. Immediately, it was touching (which is the initial reaction of every photo) to see my youngest child, 5, working so diligently and concentrating to put forth his best work while acknowledging his obligation for task completion. I then felt compelled to do the same. He helped me conceptualize this project as well as complete it in it's entirety.
I was able to find the acapella vocals to some great songs from some of the industry's most amazing and successful artists. I'm thankful for their artistry and for the opportunity to remix these incredible songs.
It's amazing how God will allow us to attain the unfathomable in our lives. I give all thanks to the Lord for the gift of music and to share my music with the world. Enjoy. Peace and love, God bless.
