The title was inspired by the trials and tribulations that I faced in the music business. I have been in the music industry for a while but I have struggled to break through because I am far from where everything happens. I want to encourage others to not be discouraged when they’re struggling in their careers. I’ve learned that as people we should initiate our dreams and we will succeed against all odds because God is on our side.
