After some time away from performing, two shows in China with @caixukun was a pretty special way to find my way back.

Sharing the stage with such an incredible group of singers and musicians reminded me how much I love this. I left inspired, with a renewed appreciation for the craft and a fire I hadn’t felt in a while.

Grateful to God for the opportunity, the people, and the timing of it all.

What a gift. 🇲🇴🖤

Funny how life can have you moving all the time…

and still ask you to slow down.

I turned 36 recently, and something about this year feels… different. I’m asking different questions. Paying attention in ways I never really have before. Trying not to fill every empty space just because it feels uncomfortable.

Maybe there’s something to be found there.

Anyway… here’s a little life lately. taken in Minding Mines :) by @_ceeeeed

I know people see the degree. But what they don’t see is everything that had to die for me to become the man holding it.

The ego. The distractions. The need to constantly prove myself. The attachment to image. The fear of slowing down. The version of me that thought worth was tied to visibility, success, and applause.

For years my life moved fast. LA. Music. Stages. Travel. Sessions. Rooms filled with people I once only dreamed of being around. And I’m grateful for every part of that chapter.

But eventually God started calling me toward something deeper. Something rooted in people. Healing. Purpose. Service. So I came home.

And honestly, I don’t think people talk enough about the grief that comes with becoming who you prayed to be. Because sometimes growth looks less like elevation and more like isolation. Less like excitement and more like surrender. Less like gaining and more like releasing.

These last three years challenged me mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and financially. Trying to balance full time work, internship hours, graduate school, and still hold myself together some days felt impossible.

There were moments I felt behind in life. Moments I questioned if I had made the wrong decision. Moments where I missed who I used to be.

But now I realize I wasn’t losing myself. I was meeting myself. The real me.

The version of me that has always been deeply connected to people. The version of me that genuinely wants people to heal. The version of me that has always been able to sit with people’s pain and make them feel seen.

That was never accidental. It was purpose.

And now, by the grace of God, I can say I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Case Western Reserve University. Still surreal to even type that.

Because there’s a little boy in Cleveland who always believed his life would mean something. This moment is for him.

And if there’s anything this journey taught me, it’s that purpose will cost you something. But if God called you to it, He will sustain you through it. Every single time.

Mastered it. 🎓

5 years ago, @_saint.smith_ and I dropped our take on @marioworldwide “How Could You”. We stayed true to the soul of the original but made it our own.
