Growing up, I’d often buy a CD for that one song I heard on the radio or in a movie—only to find the rest didn’t measure up. I couldn’t play an instrument or write music back then, but even as a kid, I felt God gave me an ear for what made a song truly great. That instinct has fueled me from the start—to never settle, to make sure every track I release carries weight, purpose, and truth.
For me, music is more than catchy riffs or lyrics that stick in your head—though without those, my songs might never reach you. What drives me is something deeper: the call to create music that brings hope. Songs that reflect the moments when Jesus walked with me through the fire and pulled me from the ashes. Over the years, the sound may shift—but the message has always stayed the same.
That’s what this album, "Walking Into Fire," is all about. It's inspired by Isaiah 43:2—“When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.” These songs were written from the heart of that promise. They echo battles fought, pain endured, and the unshakable faith that kept me standing.
This isn’t just another record. It’s a testimony. A declaration. A reminder that no matter what flames you’re walking through, you're not alone. God is with you in the fire—and sometimes, the only way out is through.
Thank you for walking this journey with me.
