I grew up and my father never showed up. My mother married a man that abused us physically and mentally until I was 12. I started writing poetry when I was 8 years old. My very first song was written it in the corner of my older brothers room because I feared if my step dad walked in and saw me writing he would read it and know how small he made me feel. But me? After I wrote it I felt bigger. Not a whole lot, but a little bit. Enough that I knew when I couldnโ€™t tell anyone anything, I could tell my notebook. I took it with me everywhere. Not cause I showed anyone, but so I knew him finding it wasnโ€™t a possibility. Thereโ€™s so much more to that story, but I say that to say this. My music was born in suffering but it will end with joy. Every moment of my life led me here and after EVERYTHING I have been through, I can tell you this. 
IT GETS BETTER. 
Happiness is an option for everyone. My mission is to show the world and kids everywhere that no matter how much pain and suffering youโ€™ve endured, there is still hope for happy. It happened to me and it can happen to you. One foot, two foot, you gotta be your own Sasquatch. Your own macot. Until you wake up on stage on a Friday night and the crowd that came to hear you sing, to listen to your heart is staring back at you and suddenly the dream everyone told you was too big, almost doesnโ€™t even seem big enough. And the boy who was afraid to sing became the man with the microphone. Iโ€™ve always been the man in the arena. Now itโ€™s time to sell them out. 
Keep going. 
It gets better. 
I love you. 
Iโ€™m happy youโ€™re here. 
Thank you, to everyone, from the top of my soul and the bottom of my heart for coming out and connecting with me.

Friday night was incredible. Insightful. Impactful. I walked off the stage and the first thing I thought to myself was โ€œdamn this is real and this is just the beginning. Itโ€™s time to get to workโ€. So many people came out to support me and it was incredibly humbling. I felt so connected to the crowd. Swipe to the last slide to see me freestyle off the top of the dome improv to end my show. I felt the energy in the room and just bounced off it. It was powerful for me to be able to be that vulnerable in front of strangers. Concert video @thepostfw coming soon!! Shout out to @smoothvega for making it shake and big shout out to @xbvalentine for allowing me to open the stage and be apart of your first headlining show! You deserve that and earned that. LETS KEEP GOING.
