#iambraveenough to continue pursuing music, in whatever shape or form, despite being a “minority” - whether that be my race, history, or circumstance. As a young married couple @jou1es & I continue to hustle trying to make things work so that we can do what God has equipped us to do with our talents, opportunities, or skills.. “adulthood” can get in the way but we gotta fight for it all. Thank you @sarabareilles for such an amazing voice that you bless us with along with your stories! #braveenoughtour was a show not to miss. Thank you @jou1es for believing in me even when I hardly believe in myself. And thank you to all of you who continue to support me as a person.. Musically.. And spiritually #thankyou #brave #love #faith #takechances #music #believe #saywhatyouwannasay #dowhatyouwannado #beyou
im not sacrificing much to release this.. i mean God has blessed me with so much…. that the imperfections that come with this project definitely fall short of His mighty glory and grace. i dont even want to release it.. cause i dont think its ready for release… but thats been my motto my whole life so… fuggit
job is a mindset.. it is a concept that we will never stop growing, we will never stop working toward our known perfection… a lot of this music doesnt even represent who i am anymore.. but its a good place to start.
enjoy. credits released 18 April 2013 Big thank you to my wife. Thank you for the motivation. Thank you for snatching this out of my hands and forcing me to release it.
God is good, all the time.

Alright followers, I’ve got something special for you today. A chance to support love that’s really risen againt the odds and needs a little help.
A good friend of mine (okay it’s Jennifer Chung I know but I’m trying to be candid here) is getting ready to get married soon and end the long distance portion of her relationship with her fiance. They’re both talented individuals, strong in their faith, and I couldn’t be happier that they made things work in spite of the distance. They’re selling their cover of “stay” in order to help finance their honeymoon (aka moving from the Bay Area to Georgia). I just thought I’d share this with you in case you were interested in purchasing some good music today. =) ♥
Now those of you who have been following me for a while can understand why I’m so supportive of these two. The fact for those of you who don’t know is that I’m in a long distance relationship myself much like these two were.
I haven’t met her fiance, but I am sure he is an awesome person because Jen attracts nothing but the best with her positive attitude, strong faith and AMAZING voice.
Now in the link I provided you can actually purchase the cover for a DOLLAR! Quality music for a dollar…come on people that’s a steal.
LOL I don’t support causes without having good reason so here’s the reason (in case you didn’t watch the video in this post) they’re going to be moving from the Bay to Georgia after their wedding and counting that as their honeymoon. Cross country drives mean gas and food and hotels and I decided to purchase the song because I want to make sure their trip is FUN instead of taxing.
I hope you have a listen, and at the very least have another musician you can follow along with. Jen’s got a great youtube channel with thousands of views and the voice to support it. She also did a music video that featured my boyfriend and I make a tiny cameo in. We danced together in college, and were on yearbook together in middle school. This little lady is awesome and I know she’s still got more to show the world.
I did a cover of Rihanna’s “STAY” after being inspired by a new book my friend was writing (which will be released soon), but Joules (my fiance) put a twist remix on it and here was the product!
We plan on road-tripping across country from California to Georgia adventurous musicians on a budget style for our honeymoon. Let us know any suggestions of where to stop by and please check out the cover below and purchase if you dig it!
