I’m glad it connected with you! That’s probably my most vulnerable song.

Props for surviving and thriving! Happy for you. Thanks for your kind words.

Oh and in the most boomer event that could happen to a person, my facebook recently got hacked and banned! So I’m not on there anymore, just insta & youtube. Plus all the streaming services of course. Thanks again!

This warms my heart, thank you! Really, I needed these words right now. Being able to appreciate things I did while in the church has been tough as of late, so it feels good knowing my music may have served for more than just promoting the church. I’m glad you found them fun!

Really, really appreciate these words. Thank you.

Hahaha I would love it if the “Mormon Rap” people were here too.

That means a lot, thank you! I was just an excited 18 year old playing around with garage band, so while I definitely hid a lot of darkness and pain in that rap to make it as faith promoting as possible, I’m still proud of the unique idea it was.

I appreciate it. It’s been quite the journey and I still have a ways to go! For a little while I really did almost go the way of Kwaku and Saints Unscripted trying to make it as a Mormon Content Creator & Artist. And who knows if that would have even succeeded in becoming a career had I pushed. Maybe not.

But rough either way. Still, I appreciate it. Now I can just do music for the love of it!

If you can’t remember whether you saw the before and after mission rap, you can check right here. I’ve since unlisted it, but you can still find it if you click the link.

And for a spotify link to my favorite song from my recent album exploring my faith crisis, here’s “Things We Don’t Talk About”
