Interview:
Music is something that God created to communicate. God knows that music is a tool for human beings to share many feelings that words can not express. I truly believe that music can change a whole country if the right chord and the right message is made. We can never denied the power and spiritual significance of music. I have seen many people crying at our live shows from the ambience created by the music. People raise their hands and cry out because we are all spiritual beings. As musicians we can change many lives because music inspires emotion, and people can feel deeply involved with our music. We must realize that God gives musicians a massive responsibility. We are not lead by record companies, radio stations, or band managers, but rather guided by the Holy Ghost. We truly have the power of God in our hands, so as musicians we should share our talent no matter what happens. Rather than seeing music just like any other job, we should think more about the spiritual responsibility of our music. We need to create music because we believe music has more Spirit within it than we can ever imagine. Music will remain only music when it is taken lightly. However, music can become a serious weapon when it is used with the right attitude. We believe music is more spiritual than just a song or a dance. Music can change a whole life as we learn to listen. Musicians of the world need to wake up and write down music that speaks about love. When we talk about love then we will be talking about God. This world can then be changed for a reason; the reason to be better everyday.
“We must realize that God gives musicians a massive responsibility.”
