I feel like I’ve finally found my sound – I’ve fallen in love with every single song in its own right, the writing process was truly something I’ll never forget. I’m not sure what will come next, but this chapter is something that I am so unbelievably proud of and I can’t wait to share it with everyone. I hope you love it and I hope you find peace in knowing that no matter what we go through, we are all walking representation of Survival In Motion and life is a gift no matter how crazy it can be.”
