"I make music because it’s what I believe I was designed to do; offering different perspectives, peace, light and positivity are my purpose. My lyrics are based on real life and I find that I’m always able to connect with somebody because of this and that’s the goal. I just wanna make quality, timeless music." (JAEL)
