Excerpt from my album cover:
I once heard a quote that went like this: "Self knowledge leads to self-possession. Self-possession leads to self offering. Self offering leads to a beauty that is beyond one's self." (Fr. Augustino CFR) After pondering and reflecting upon these words for some time, it occurred to me that each of us, as human persons, is on a journey toward knowing the self. This journey is unique for each person: some of us open our arms wide for this experience, some of us run, and others simply drift without a purpose. I have experienced all of these at times and that is what this album is about- it is my story of dying and rising; it is my journey toward finding myself amidst the joy and pain that life often brings. But just like in the quote, I have also realized that in finding myself, I can lead a life not only worthy of living but, more importantly, of giving. The musical gift that I have been blessed with has given me the ability to "trace" my journey thus far, and it would be a waste if I did not share it. So, with love and hope, I present you with my first album "One Of Those Nights".
