What I have in my heart and soul - must find a way out. That's the reason for music.
The vibrations on the air are the breath of God speaking to man's soul. Music is the language of God. We musicians are as close to God as man can be. We hear his voice, we read his lips, we give birth to the children of God, who sing his praise. That's what musicians are.
I wish you music to help with the burdens of life ,and to help you release your happiness to others.
