I AM FREE. Free of what you may ask, after all this is the land of the free, and home of the brave. But I was trapped in a different way. I am free from substance abuse, free from drugs and alcohol, and most importantly free from the cycle of addiction. For almost 8 years I have been hiding and struggling in the dark, and now it is time to shed light on my journey. No more fake smiles, no more hiding, no more shame, and no more guilt. At one point I almost gave up, and if I didn’t take my own life, I was ok with alcohol doing it for me. As some of you may know, I was born in a third world country and adopted at the age of one and a half. At what I considered the peak of my fame and success, while I was watching all my dreams unfold before my eyes, I lost not one but BOTH of my parents. I lost my foundation, and with that I lost my faith, my focus, and I lost control. I became an orphan all over again, and I found comfort in unfulfilling relationships with women, friends who weren’t loyal, materialistic things, and worst of all ALCOHOL. Dreamers, I’m not goina lie, this has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but if I can do it, so can you! Help is always available, all you have to do is ask. I am now happily married with two beautiful kids, and I rest peacefully at night knowing I am making my parents proud. To anyone seeing this today, please know that you are not alone. My music and the love I receive worldwide from all of my supporters are what kept me going in the darkest moments of my life. Addiction, depression, and mental health are real, real enough to ruin your life. But God is real, and with him all things are possible, including the miracle of recovery. I am opening up my heart today and speaking my truth with the intent to help, inspire, and reach anyone who might be able to relate to my journey and struggles. It requires a leap of faith, but it is never too late to change your life! I can confidently say I am proud of the man I am today, and I did not let Addiction define me. My next record “Why” was the last song I wrote before going into treatment. I can’t wait to share it with y’all…
