His second music video from the album, “Better This Way” went viral in the LGBTQ community and was featured in Huff Post Gay Voices, publications, and blogs all over the world. His second album “Freedom Rings” delivered an all inclusive message music video titled “Build Me A Bridge” about the hope for better future for the LGBTQ community. On his third album, he ventured across the pond and recorded vocals, piano and strings at Abbey Road Studios in London, after recording the initial tracks at the world famous Sweetwater Sound Studios in Fort Wayne, IN. The album also produced two music videos, “Maybe” and “Freedom Rings 2017” which was a celebration of Equality for same sex marriage.
