@eunicekeitan LAY YOUR WEAPONS DOWN is out on all platforms today! The seeds of this song grew from a conversation I had with a friend who had been imprisoned for protesting - fighting for basic rights of the most marginalized in the community. He suffered years of torture and psychological trauma, but his spirit and hope for freedom was unbreakable.

During this period of time we've seen so much unrest and civil wars around the world. Yet, it is the same story of corruption and political agenda that force innocent people into combat and takes away their future. I hope this track will act as a voice for those who might not have one, or who have been silenced and will make us our roles in our community.

This song wouldn’t have been what it is without the support of the City of Toronto through the
@torontoartscouncil and the precious team of people who put their love, time and talents into this project.
