Q. Which one of YOUR songs is YOUR favorite & why?
A. My latest song, “Twenty One” is certainly my favorite as far as already released right now. The record is literally about manifesting and winning! So I speak a lot of affirmations and put a lot of energy of prosperity into it purposely. Before I released it, It was just after so much unrest and all the losses financially during the pandemic and we were now entering into The year 2021. So The message metaphorically referenced the year and the card game 21! Where you have to beat the dealer and the players!
– despite the challenges in life, You can beat all odds if you focus on winning!
