Devotion

I call this a "soundtrack to prayer." I've often dabbled with certain chillout styles but this one's definitely not within the chillout sound familiar in the tons of compilations out there. Personally, I don't really want to call this chillout because of the sound and idea behind creating this particular album.

I made this album as a fund raiser primarily for my church. I figured that the best way to give back to God was to create something from the talents that he gave me and use it to raise funds to build His house, which in my case, is my home church. With the help and support of our senior pastor and his family, Devotion got a green light and this is the product of that gratitude I have for my saviour.

I wrote these tunes with prayer in mind and how I imagine music playing in the background. I wanted something that didn't jump out of the speakers or something that could startle anyone listening to it. I wanted it to sound more like background music than something you actually sit down and listen to. The irony of it though is that it can definitely stand alone as a collection of music pieces regardless if it was born out of "music for prayer."

I've received reviews of it being "relaxing" or a "nice companion to the beach," which is definitely a plus and I'm just happy that this particular album can be able to touch lives in whatever way it can.
