I Always Try To Write A Song, I Never Just Want To Write A Record. Originally I Was Not Writing Songs For Myself. ....and I Can Say This, Most Of The People Who Have Recorded My Songs Are Songwriters Themselves. ...

So I Wanted To Sing Inspirational Music, And That's Exactly How I Approached It-only The Words Have Been Changed To Declare My Relationship With God. Songwriting Is My Gift From God.
