Interestingly, the Bee Gees wrote this profound piece in less than four minutes during a session that was initially unproductive. As the session was nearing its end, Barry Gibb introduced a new idea that resonated immediately with his brothers, leading to the swift creation of āImmortality.ā the song was specifically written with celine Dion in mind.
Celine with her powerhouse vocals and emotive delivery, took āImmortalityā to new heights. The Bee Gees, known for their profound lyrical depth and harmonic brilliance crafted this gem with a purity of emotion, a heartfelt melody that strikes straight to the core.
The songs message is about the longing for something that lasts, a testament to the human desire to leave a mark, to love and be remembered. How could I not lend my voice and cover such an iconic piece ??

Decided to tackle āMake You Feel My Loveā and, no, not just in a karaoke booth. Before you askāyes, #BobDylan crafted this, but #BillyJoel got first dibs long before Adeleās iconic version. A song so beautifully straightforward it makes you wonder why we ever complicate love. letās face it, if love was straightforward, weād all get it right the first time, right?ā

There I was, in a dimly lit room on sunset blvd. the inaugural first meet with Sting. to say i wasnāt intimidated or starstruck as a young budding songwriter would be a lie. It was an intimate gathering, just a select few. My identity as a musician slipped into the conversation. and just like that the words , ā Entertain Me ā slipped out of his mouth. Aghast ! There I was, all jittery and tongue-tied, completely caught off guard. papers ruffling. his statement felt a bit off putting, even a tad rude. Iām thinking in my head , ā its STING get your ass up and sing! Ah, the folly of youth! If only I had summoned the courage to serenade him with his own lyrical creations, what a splendid loop of artistic synergy that would have been! Yet, as time passed and we shared a few more spaces, the essence of that encounter evolved as I eventually understand the true nature of Stingās request. It wasnāt a demand but an invitation, a chance to share my art with a master of the craft. i would have handled that situation a lot different now, at least it made a great story. My cover of āshape of my heartā is a tribute not just to the man himself but to the influence heās wielded, to the muse heās been for me and countless others. with all the respect and admiration I can muster, this one is for you @theofficialsting

Itās always wild seeing how art can evolve over time. š A few years back, my extremely talented friend @stevengomillion and I shot a music video for my song #Forever inside what felt like a castle in Utah.
The piece was originally inspired by The Shining, but he recently reimagined it with new shots, a fresh edit, and voiceover, weaving in the haunting energy of American Psycho. šŖ
You and @devon_speckman killed it! šš¼ šš¼
Itās wild to think how many ideas Iāve had sitting in the vault, not because I didnāt have the means.
A few years ago, I could picture it all ā but there was not enough time, budget, and the small army it wouldāve taken to execute every one of my ideas.
I would release a song and sometimes do visuals for my favorites. But so many got brushed under the rug.
Now, I can sketch a storyboard, sculpt any world or character I have in my head, and bring it all to life in an afternoon. Mind blowing š¤Æ
Anyone can hit generate. The real art is in how you prompt and thread it all together.
Itās not about shortcuts for me ā Iāve always taken integrity in my art, doing everything step by step. Itās exciting to finally have technology at my fingertips that can keep up with my crazy ass imagination.
Happy Halloween!

Song is called āRain or Shineā off my album āTalk with God.ā
Letās talk about the constant drive to improve ourselves, learn from our mistakes, and reach new heights. I discuss how Iām always my own harshest critic, analyzing my work and performances to find new ways to do better. This desire to constantly better ourselves is a driving force I encourage everyone to lean more into. Stop listening to haters or naysayers that will only try and confine and box you from everything you want to be and are becoming.
