SPONTANEOUS ME
MY MOTHER ALWAYS TOLD ME I MARCHED TO THE BEAT OF MY OWN
DRUMMER. FOR EXAMPLE, I WORE A BROWN CURLY WIG, A CHINESE
KIMONO, A PAIR OF WHITE GLOVES AND SPARKLY RED SHOES TO MY 1ST
GRADE CLASS WITH ENTHUSIASM AND CONFIDENCE. THANKFULLY, I HAD
A TERACHER WHO EMBRACED THIS DARING MOVE WITH A BIG SMILE.
MY MUSICAL STYLE IS A REFLECTION OF MY PERSONALITY AND THROUGH
IT I HOPE TO SHARE MY BELIFE THAT NO ONE SHOULD BE AFRAID TO BE
THEMSELVES. WE ALL KHOW PEOPLE WE RESPECT BECAUSE THEY DARE TO
STEP OUTSIDE THE NORM, YET WE OFTEN DONT ALLOW OURSELVES THE
SAME LIBERTY.
SPONTANEOUS ME IS ABOUT HAVING THE COURAGE TO LOVE YOURSELF
FOR WHO YOU ARE.

TRANSCENDENCE
TO TRANSCEND MEANS NOT ONLY TO ENDURE ADVERSITY BUT TO
OVERCOME IT AND BECOME BETTER AS A RESULT OF THE EXPERIENCE.
SEVERAL YEARS AGO, I WAS GOING THROUGH ONE OF THE HARDEST TIMES
IN MY LIFE -- SEARCHING TO FIND WHO I WAS. AS I DUG DEEPER AND
DEEPER, I WASNT SURE THAT I LIKED THE PERSON I WAS FINDING. I
REALIZED THAT I HAD BEEN LETTING OTHERS DETERMINE WHO I SHOULD
BE AND I WAS EVALUATING MY WORTH BASED SOFTLY ON THE FEEDBACK
OF THOSE AROUND ME. I HAD ALLOWED THE WORLD TO SQUEEZE ME INTO A
MOLD BUT THE TIME HAD COME TO BREAK FREE AND REDEFINE MYSELF.
I PUSHED THROUGH THOSE ROUGH TIMES AND USED MY PASSION FOR
MUSIC AND FAITH IN GOD TO PROPEL ME FORWARD. IT WAS ONLY AT THE
END OF THIS UPHILL STRUGGLE THAT I FINALLY RECOGNIZED I COULD LEARN
FROM MY MISFORTUNES AND USE THEM TO MAKE THE FUTURE BETTER.
I WROTE TRANSCENDENCE TO REMIND MYSELF THAT MY PASSIONS AND MY
BELIEF IN SOMETHING GREATER THAN MYSELF SAVED ME, AND ALSO THAT I
AM STRONGER AS A RESULT OF MY TRIALS.

CRYSTALLIZE
A JAPANESE DOCTOR OF ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE, DR. MASARU EMOTO, EXPERIMENTED WITH
WATER AND FOUND THAT HUMAN VIBRATIONAL ENERGY (THOUGHTS, WORDS, IDEAS, AND MUSIC)
DRAMATICALLY AFFECTED THE MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF WATER, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN WORDS
OF KINDNESS WERE SPOKEN TO THE WATER, THE CRYSTALLIZED PATTERNS WERE BEAUTIFUL AND
SYMMETRICAL, BUT WHEN DEMEANING WORDS WERE SPOKEN TO THE WATER, THE FORMATIONS
WERE RANDOM AND JAGGED.
BECAUSE WE ARE MADE OF UP TO 90% WATER, DR. EMOTOS FINDINGS HAVE IMPLICATIONS FOR
MANKIND. THE WAY WE TREAT OURSELVES AND OTHERS DETERMINES WHETHER THE WATER IN
OUR BODY MAKES BEAUTIFULLY PATTERNED SHAPES OR UGLY RANDOM MASSES.
WE AS PEOPLE ARE DRAMATICALLY AFFECTED BY THE SURROUNDINGS WE LIVE IN, THE PEOPLE
WE CHOOSE TO BE AROUND, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE THOUGHTS THAT SILENTLY CIRCULATE
THROUGH OUR MINDS. BY BEING NEGATIVE AND THINKING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS, WE ARE
CAUSING MEANINGLESS PATTERNS TO FORM IN OUR BODIES, BUT WHEN WE FEEL, THINK, AND
SAY UPLIFTING THINGS AND BELEIVE IN OURSELVES, WE LITERALLY CREATE INNER BEAUTY.

SONGS OF THE CAGED BIRD

ONE OF MY FAVORITE POEMS IS MIA ANGELOUS I KNOW WHY THE CARED BIRD SINGS.
IN THIS POEM, A BIRD STARES OUT OF ITS CAGE ENVIOUSLY LOOKING AT THE WORLD
OUTSIDE. MORE THAN ANYTHING, IT WANTS TO BNE LIKE THE OTHER BIRDS - TO SOAR IN
THE OPEN SKIES, AND BASK IN THE SUNLIGHT. AFTER FUTILE ATTEMPTS TO ESCAPE, IT
REALIZES THAT IT WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF ITS CAGE. IT BRINGS JOY TO
EVERYONE NEARBY, AND IN THE PROCESS FINDS HAPPINESS ITSELF.
OFTEN TIMES WE CANNOT CONTROL OUR CIRCUMSTANCES. HOWEVER, IT IS UP TO US TO
DETERMINE HOW WE WILL RESPOND TO THEM. WE ALL HAVE A VOICE TO FIND, AND A GIFT
TO SHARE. WHEN WE LEARN TO SING, THE WORLD IS A BRIGHTER PLACE FOR EVERYONE IN
OUR SPHERE OF INFLUNCE. FOR ME, MY VOICE IS THE VIOLIN, AND THE JOY I FIND
THROUGH MUSIC IS MADE SO MUCH SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL WHEN I SEE THAT MY MUSIC
MAKES A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE TO OTHERS.
SPECIAL THANKS TO:
DEVIN GHAHAM. WHEN I MET DEVIN I WAS A STRUGGLING, UNKHOWN ARTIST WHO DESPERATELY WANTED TO
SHARE MY MUSIC WITH THE WORLD. HE SAW SOMETHING IN ME AND NOT ONLY TAUGHT ME THE WAYS OF YOUTUBE,
BUT SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS WORKING ON COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS AND ENCOURAGING ME.
MY FIRST BAND STOMP ON MELVIN. THOSE WERE THE GUYS THAT STARTED IT ALL. THEY GAVE ME A CHANCE ON
THE ROCK STAGE WHICH IS WHERE I DISCOVERED MY PASSION FOR PERFORMING
PIERS MORGAN (BLESS HIS HEART). WHEN I WAS ON AMERICAS GOT TALENT, PIERS COMMENTS HUMILIATED ME
AND MADE ME WONDER IF ID EVER HAVE THE NERVE TO STEP ON ANOTHER STAGE. MY SELF CONFIDENCE WAS
BRIEFLY SHATTERED, BUT MY DESIRE TO PROVE HIM WRONG GAVE ME THE MOTIVATION TO BELIEVE IN MYSELF
AGAIN. OVERCOMING THAT EXPERIENCE MADE ME STRONGER THAN EVER.
MY MON AND DAD. MY DAD WROTE SCREEN PLAYS AND HE WOULD READ HIS SCRIPTS TO MY SISTERS AND ME AS
BEDTIME STORIES. HE WOULD ALSO TELL US TALES FROM THE ADVENTURES OF HIS OWN LIFE. AT A VERY YOUNG AGE
I BEGAN TELLING HIM THAT I WANTED TO LIVE A LIFE HIS - TO CHASE MY DREAMS, AND MEET AMAZING
PEOPLE, THANK YOU, TO BOTH MOM AND DAD, FOR LIVING A LIFE THAT INSPIRED ME TO REACH FOR THE STARS. MY
PARENTS TEMPORARILY SHELVED THEIR DREAMS TO HELP US CHASE OURS.
