Music is a gift God created to share with others. It can cross all ethnic and race barriers, touch the heart and soul of its listeners and generate an atmosphere to take your emotions on a ride through multiple changes. When I play music or I am surrounded by it, I feel alive. So, it's truly been an exciting journey for the past 20 years, but it's also been a challenging road. I've always had a desire to produce music and write songs, but life has a way of sending you on detours. Between working and raising a family, music took a major backseat for a while and I was not in the studio very much - sometimes for months at a time. At one point, I thought my creative energy was gone, but what God put in me could not be dimmed. I always had a desire to create music for TV and film, way back to when I started this journey in the early '90s. To this day I still tell people that this is what I would like to do. Now I realize that I am closer to realizing that dream. Back then I had a whole lot of things I needed to learn and experience before I was able to make a major step forward. God taught me that I couldn't live this life apart from Him. I had to walk and live by faith. As a result, the company "Mustard Seed Productions" was born.
The Bible says in Matthew 17:20 "...Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." It's truly been a faith journey whether up or down. The main consistent thing is God has been there for me and with me all along. He continues to present challenges to move me closer to where he wants me to be. As I look back on all the hurts, hangups, and disappointments they are stepping stones to where I'm at and where I'm going. God created music for a reason and that is to enjoy it and worship him.
