that his people and all people could be proud of. I told
his has become a project held very near and dear him I would love to help him bring his dream to life. I
to our hearts. The project involves artists Ron “Tari- immediately gathered some beats for Adam and sent
us” Mahoney and Adam Fierro. As a
music artist I have been in the busi-
ness for over ten years winning var-
ious awards and have been blessed
to be on college radio, performed on
BET, NBC and even opened up for
many well known r&b artists such
as Jon B, Boyz to men, Bobby Val-
entino, Deborah Cox and Color Me
Badd. Adam is an Albuquerque na-
tive and a third generation jeweler
and has been crafting contemporary
and traditional style jewelry all his
life.
Beautiful, the song was born a few
months ago when good friend and
jewelry designer Adam Fierro called
me and requested some graphic de-
sign work in addition to the work he
received from me months prior. In
that same discussion, he explained
to me that he loved designing jew-
elry for his customers, but was very
interested in expanding his creative side into music.
He told me that he always loved music, but never re-
ally had the chance to explore that love. He had seen
and heard my work as an independent solo artist on
my YouTube channel (CLICK HERE) and was inter-
ested in my help for a musical collaboration. He also
expressed how important it was for him to represent
his native culture and to be a shining representation
of that culture. He wanted to put something out there
them through email. One beat stood out to him in
particular. That favored beat would become the music
behind “Beautiful”. Initially there were so many con-
cepts going through Adam’s mind that he asked for
some help in the direction of the song. He told me
he wanted to create a song that was a tribute to the
strong, independent, hard-working woman. I imme-
diately had concepts in my head. I sat down and wrote
the hook/chorus of the song and gave it back to Adam
