Millionaire

Millionaire was song that arose when I was going through a tough time. I was homeless and sleeping in my car. Sometimes listening to my songs gave me motivation to keep going. I wrote the song as motivation not only for me, but for all those who aspire to be great in this World. It not only has the vibrant modern sound. It also has a powerful message. Don't ever give up. you might just be at the door of greatness.

What's Going On ( Pads Only )

This song is about the global changes: Is about yesterday, today & tomorrow. Is about the protection of the ''Truth'' and saving the nature( Humans, Animals & all the natural God's creatures). ''A'' was made for a reason and so is ''B'', we can't be smarter than our nature; so is not a mistake that the moon & stars shine at night, while the sun shines in the day. Let's not celebrate lies for the sake of money; stand for the ''Truth'' always, save our nature and encourage peace... Above all, this song was made for your listening!

Wake Up

Everybody is afraid to die, but speak up or not one day we will all go; so why don't you just express how you feel? This song is about waking up, standing up for your right: The right to live, the right to your culture, your spirituality, to your faith & believe; humans are the same, but we are different in thinking, the right to who you are and not what they are, because if you stand for nothing then you fall for everything! Enjoy Listening...
