As God continues to grace me to do so, I will continue to carry on that sound of ministry mixed with the traditional feeling that the church loves so much and deliver the evolving sound of today.

My heritage means a lot to me and I'm grateful to embrace it and to be one of the chosen ones carrying such a mantle."
