Doors

There’s a saying in the industry: when words aren’t enough, sing it. Music has always been a place of expression and refuge for me. Every song on this album chronicles personal experiences I’ve had over the past nearly two years. It required me to walk through life experiences or doors, some of which included heartache. Each door I walked through brought me to where I am today. I AM Stronger. Happier. Hence, the inspiration for the album title. If we persist, eventually we find goodness, happiness, and friendly companions along the way. Thank you for being a meaningful part of my journey.

Another meaning behind the album title is the doors opened because of the very generous and talented people that brought this music to life. The songwriters, producers, engineers, and Patreon and Gofundme supporters – without you – these songs would not be. Thank you for opening so many doors for me to discover and share these songs!
