My story as an artist has been about trial and error. It's been about artist development, character building, struggle, happiness and failure, family, and music.

Not only is your story worth telling, but it can be told in words so painstakingly eloquent that it becomes a song.

One of my big goals as a human being is to continue to write what's really happening to me, even if it's a tough pill to swallow for people around me... I do fear that if I ever were to have someone in my life who mattered, I would second-guess every one of my lyrics.

This is my story, this is my song, praising my Saviour all the day long.

My story of success and failure is not just about music and being famous. It's about living and loving and trying to find purpose in this crazy world.

All stories interest me, and some haunt me until I end up writing them. Certain themes keep coming up: justice, loyalty, violence, death, political and social issues, freedom.

I decided to write 'True Refuge' during a major dive in my own health. Diagnosed with a genetic disease that affected my mobility, I faced tremendous fear and grief about losing the fitness and physical freedom I loved.

My music is part of the quest I have to find new ways of telling stories, and also, I want to inspire people.

Everyone has a story that makes me stronger. I know that the work I do is important and I enjoy it, but it is nice to hear the feedback of what we do to inspire others.

My story is the story of thousands of children from around the world. I hope it inspires others to stand up for their rights.
