Inner Warrior is the name of my album and I have a song off
the album called “Inner Warrior” as well. The song is my
battle cry and my inner thoughts. It’s the feeling of

We’ve all had times in our life where we feel in the pits and
feel like giving up. This song, to me, emotionally displays the
feeling of wanting to give up but knowing deep down inside
that there’s much more out there and a bright light at the
end of the tunnel. This song is about not giving up and
finding a purpose for everything in life.
but this is the first full length body of work I have released.

I take the same approach when it comes to Broadway,
collaborating with artists, or working on my music alone. To
some degree, all three will involve other people/collaborative
efforts at some stage. I enjoy working with other talented

Yes, there are plans for a video. I'm currently individuals to achieve a common goal. But, in terms of
shooting/directing a short film music project intertwining a approach, everything is case by case. I'm open-minded and
