Stand Firm
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”
— Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel)
As someone who is constantly developing my craft, I look for ways to create around every corner. One of my biggest obstacles is having the dedication to learn from others, yet be able to deliver my own original ideas. Harnessing the freedom of expressing the unknown.
I recently read “Astrophysics For People In A Hurry” by Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Fantastic read.
I found myself superimposing my artistic ideas into the questions of this world and the notion of the multiverse.
Tyson says: “We do not simply live in the universe. The universe lives within us.”
“Today, how easy is it to presume that one universe is all there is. Yet emerging theories in modern cosmology, as well as the continually reaffirmed improbability that anything is unique, require that we remain open to the latest assault on our plea for distinctiveness: the multiverse.”
Let’s stand firm and be ourselves.
Such an honor to have my new album "Present Time" named by DownBeat Magazine as a Best Album of 2016 giving it ★★★★1/2 STARS
