Dear Friends and music supporters!
 
Wow the feedback has been absolutely overwhelming!
2 weeks ago I released the music video for my song Hold On. In its first 8 days it received over 18k views on Facebook and additional hits on YouTube.
 
Many people wrote me personal messages sharing their own struggles with illness,  perserverance, and holding onto hope. It was a jawdropping week of hearing what this song meant to people.
 
Days after it's release I saw the news like everyone else. Hearing that my hometown and the neighborhood I grew up in, in Pittsburgh was dealing with the most heinous of hate crimes, I felt absolutely shocked and hopeless. The lyrics...
 
It's not what you wanted
It's not what you asked for
You didn't need any of this
You never saw this coming
 
...those words took on a whole new meaning. Please continue to share this song. I believe it's story and it's message carry so much hope. And my prayer from Day 1 has been that it will encourage and push its listeners out of darkness into light.
