This album took about 10 years to write as I was spilling out my soul and life experiences into music, and I felt many of the things I wrote on this album a lot of people can say they lived it as well. I never intended to make Into The Open an eighteen track album; but I felt like there was so much for me to"say;" from heart aches to falling in love; to the way I grew up; to losing loved ones; partying too much; and trying to find forgiveness. This album is every bit of me if you want to know who I am as a person just listen and I'm sure that my life isn't much different than many of yours.
