We were able to win a JUNO AWARD off this project as well as reach many corners of the world with the music . THANK YOU to everyone that has supported the project thus far . by @thehonestguy

Track 6 PLEASE DON’T LEAVE was the last song @workingwithnevon 🕊️and I worked on together . Crazy that the title of the song expresses how I truly feel about the loss of my friend.

@workingwithnevon I miss you so much and I am still struggling with the fact that you are gone . Thank you for believing in me and encouraging me to trust my own voice . I hope I am making you proud 🕊️ by @thehonestguy
