This year I'll be 37. I am proud of that age because I've come to realize that things I've been through made me a much stronger and wiser person today. I admit, I may still make mistakes of the past, but I don't hold on to the guilt. When you hold on to the guilt, the creativity cannot flow.

Part of being truly creative is having these life experiences, learning from them and using them to tell your story. I tell my story through my music. My artist sing the songs from my heart. An audience may hear it as just a song, but it's so much more than that when you listen carefully and intently. I know I sound like a commercial for the RIAA telling you not to steal any one's music. But you have to realize how much of a person's life goes into creating one piece of music.

It's important to know that not only does a musician/producer/composer/songwriter spend time they'll never get back working on that one piece of music, but the time they spent messing up with anything you can think of, also goes into that music.

This is what makes music so valuable. It's audible DNA, a wandering spirit that affects the listener to the point he or she will never be the same. In saying all of this, I urge the listeners of any type of music to listen for the heart of the music you're listening to. Now if the music you are listening to has no heart, it won't last in your heart and that means, someone made it good enough just to get your money. The quality of the content is not there or is fabricated.

Your time spent listening to music is just as valuable as my time I spend making it. You as a listener deserves the best nurturing your heart and soul can bare. If you are listening to anything from Orahsounz Studios/Hatka Entertainment Music, you can trust that it's 100% authentic quality.
