"My music is a genuine Neo-Improv. I tend to
twist lyrics and use my voice as a tool to express
what is new, yet old
to awake the conscious minds
of listeners worldwide and to share my life experiences
through song in hopes to uplift others." The
songbird later featured along with Houston's own Se7en
