Interview:

Music has a great spiritual significance. However, in order to understand it’s spiritual significance, you must explore it’s natural abilities. Take any given situation whether at a skating rink, nightclub, ballroom, festival, or church, where music tends to alter the mood of the people. Next time you’re at one of these settings, take a look at the people and how they change pending on the type of music that is being played. Their mood is altered based upon the beat or rhythm of the music. Now let’s go over into the spiritual realm. Based upon the spirit of the song, the spiritual realm is altered. Of course music can encourage one to be happy, sad, mad, full of rage, or intense. As artists, we have a GREAT responsibility to invoke the right spirit with our music. We have to be mature with our hearts, desires, relationship both with others and God, and have a clear connection with our goals and motives. I refuse to accept when we as musicians deny the effect our music has on society. God has appointed us messengers and vehicles of His word and truth. It’s time that we embrace it.
