I got a chance to talk with Tomas from TE Talk about the Velocity Awards, Barbados Music Awards, and some upcoming projects I’m working on.  Tomas is an artist, record producer, and a good friend (he suggested that I submit for the Outmusic Awards:) Listen and enjoy:)

“A Song for Mother” was written for my mother.  I’ve always been a mama’s boy, my mother was the first person who encouraged me and inspired me to sing.  When I was 5 years old singing around the house – it was my mother who suggested the I sing in church.  I will always love you mother:)

You gave me life
You held me close
A Heart of pure gold
My first breath
My first step
You watched me grow
You called my name
Goodness and light
You gave me hope
This is my song for you

The hours
The lessons
The words and the books
The questions
The answers
The knowledge- the truth
Right and wrong
You made me strong
The power in you
And this is my song for you

The prayers you prayed
The nights you stayed
Down On your knees
The tears you cried, the pain you hide
The joy that you bring
The love you give
The life you live
The truth in your goals
You’re a rose enriching my soul

I honor you
I cherish you
I lift you up
I pray for you only the best
And in the heavens above
That You will hear for eternity
This message of love
This is my song for you
