When my grandma passed I slept beside her guitar for at least 2 weeks before I realized she wasn’t coming back to play it,I was a teenager then! Right before I finalized my album I picked her guitar up and wrote “Temporary Insanity” which would go on to be the first song on my album... Grandma always said “Never lose your integrity,chasing melody” I live by that! #Purpose My introduction was fast but my journey is steady course! #Love
