I just released one of my all time favorite creations "Gimme That." I usually like to let the listener interpret the song as they hear it themselves but this song means so much to me I'd like to share the story behind it.  Gimme That explained:There was a time in my life when I finally realized that I didn't need anyone or anything in order to be happy. Nobody could get my true attention using material things, lame pickup lines or empty promises. I knew in my bones that music was the only thing that brought me real joy in...

I'm diving into my current life changes and I'm sad, hopeful, excited, and scared. Last week my fears became a reality when I was forced to make the heartbreaking decision to stop all live performances because I may be needing vocal surgery. (Pending verdict.) I felt like an injured athlete. I felt crushed beneath the weight of my worst case scenario thoughts. I knew this was coming, I tried to ignore it like an impending doom.

I've never seen her with shoes on or without a friendly curiosity in her eyes.  Sometimes she's wearing clean clothes but most often shes wearing nothing but underwear, playing with her toys in a dirt driveway surrounded by cows, chickens and more than a few poi dogs. Her mom is always nearby hanging laundry, making handcrafted offerings or doing other chores...

The people of Bali leave little offerings every day as I mentioned in my previous blog.  Each compound calls for about 15 of them to surround the perimeter. The women here spend a great deal of time, money, and love hand crafting these offerings every single day. The baskets are weaved from coconut leaves. Each basket is filled with seven different types of fresh flowers as well as other various objects. The only time women get a break from this ritual is when they are menstruating. This is when they are considered "impure" and unfit for the job at the...
