Family!!!

I feel that one of the best gifts to a musician is his/her family. Being a family man makes me a better musician. It keeps me inspired on so many levels. My wife is probably my biggest fan. If no one else likes my music she would keep me in business. And my newborn son, while in the womb, chose to respond to my music by dancing in his mother's stomach.
I pray that every musician experiences the joy of family inspiration. Most musicians these days are known as whores and players. Actually it is something that tends to be congratulated throughout our peers in the industry, but I found out that the love of a wife is greater inspiration than that of a screaming girl on the side in the audience(who's not your wife). Don't  get me wrong, having a girlfriend is nice, but a wife is favor.
I have had the best life as a result of my wife's presence. She is my crown and joy.
And now my son brings a new sunshine into my life. I don't think I've played a better chord in my life before he came. I pray that every musician, both male and female, would experience the love and joy I get from being a family man.
Grace and peace to you all.

  1. I know what you are talking about man... My wife is also my biggest fan... Sometimes I stay up so late producing, and I'll ask her to listen to it and she falls in love with every song I write... My wife also brings the best out of me...

  2. A HUGE congratulations to you and Dionne on your new addition Matthew! Life is (one) of the greatest gifts that God has given us all... If we ever wake up one day and 'forget' that God has ever done anything for us we can look in the mirror or look at the life around us.

    An even bigger congratulations to you guys having your first child together in holy matrimony! Regardless of the trend that's going around, God's way is always better! Thank you all for the example!
