Stay committed to what God has told you to do, that’s all that matters. Study artists that came before you, not to copy but to learn what works and what doesn’t. Study and be you. The people before us wrote songs about culture and life which is good, but they also had strong lyric content. I believe Gospel music still has a way to go, the state of Gospel is cool but there’s room for growth.

People need to understand, Satan being in music himself, is a fallen angel so he uses music and there’s certain chords and music that can grab you. So, I call my music intimate worship, the Bible says in Psalm 42:8, "By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me - a prayer to the God of my life."

A lot of times when you go through, so many people say, "I want prayer," "Can you pray for me?" "Can you help me?" At night when you're calm and everything has slowed down and you have time to think about the choices you have made, whether it’s a mistake or your next move, you really need the Lord to be with you and that’s where my song, "Be with Me," came from.
