Wishing you the spirit of love, joy and hope every day.. like a holiday!
I still have so many thoughts on this experience, the disappointment, disillusionment I felt that lingered a couple of years while in limbo and reevaluating if my passion for the music and navigation of the business of it was over.. eventually the underground music scene in particular 4Hero’s Two Pages was a new awakening and inspiration for me as an artist, writer, producer and independent label owner. We grow through our disappointments, adversity, pain, heartbreak– it’s life.
Quentin Harrison is an excellent music writer, rare in the era we live. He does a great job on this retrospective and subsequent music aftermath.

Doing music I love and continuing to defy odds and boundaries imposed by others often this very business is what’s important to me and most of all to enjoy it all as much as possible in the process .. everything else is always just a bonus.
To you I say – keep exploring and growing .. that’s the beauty and blessing of life.
