Lines, shapes colour and composition have always interested me. What I see is a process that goes through sight, planning then execution. What I want to portray is the sense of balance in all my work, movement with hard lines and shapes while keeping an eerie sense of space and atmosphere. I want to take the viewer through a scene or landscape filled with more questions than answers.

My influences is a vast range of natural beings, motion and scenes. Isn’t the world a beautiful thing? And everything that embarks on it’s journey amazing? Why not capture this in a form of contemporary simplified shapes and expressive colours? As destructive as we are as people and our constant disregard for natural balance, I hope to retain all that is beautiful in our everyday lives through my artwork.

We’re only here for a short period of time; let’s make the most of it. If we have the talent to show or say something; why don’t we? Why keep our thoughts and views hidden away? As expressive as a tree maybe, standing, waving its branches proudly in between short gusts of wind. I as an artist would also like to extend myself to my limits. I would like to be apart of the world and not against it; this is how I would like to show my appreciation.

I’d like to formally announce the release of my second album “Relay” under the Our Nations Empire name. This is a ten song album written from the heart; played and performed by myself. Many of the songs touch our social and political lives and many of the songs are creative intuitions in which I had the pleasure of experiencing. I am pleased to share these moments in my life in song and I hope you will receive them with an open heart and mind.

“The acronym of O·N·E not only signifies my personal and sole dedication to music but more importantly Our Nations Empire is founded on the philosophy of oneness, togetherness and a world held together by unity. Perhaps peace, love and harmony was left behind in the seventies and a new era of social and political dysfunctions has taken it’s course. I personally believe that everyone has been created with the true essence of love and respect for one another although many of us have lost our way throughout our journey. It is my goal and duty as a musician to relay my message of unity in hopes that so many others find their way back on track.

After all we are all O·N·E race.”
