Music is my way to shine back and express positive vibrations for a common healing. It's similar to farming, or surfing, or yoga. Before world peace, we have to have inner peace and music helps us get there.

Well, I won't give up on us, Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love, I'm still looking up
