“I love music with heart and soul!! Songs I can sink all of my emotions into, whether it be gospel, jazz, Broadway, R&B, pop… I love to write songs from pure emotion, mostly about the way I see life, or the way I wish it would be; relationships with our fellow man, love and understanding, and spiritual hope for peace in this world”……adam
