You have many followers and fans alike that adore you and your music. You are a Star and such a gift to all of us. We believe in you and We Love You.

To the person adding the provocative posts to my website.

I'm not sure what I have done to upset you, I do apologize if I have offended you in any way. I don’t particularly care for all music out there so I understand if you just don’t care for mine. However, I don’t feel like I should be attacked online by someone hiding behind a computer and a fake name. You say I try to hard and my dad pays for everything. Well you are right! I try hard because that’s what it takes to move forward no mater what you do. Also, I never said that I didn’t have a lot of help with this. It’s not just my dad though, it’s my mom, brother, wife, friends and fans. They all supported me and pushed me to keep going. I owe everything to my family for all the time and money they have spent on me. I’m not the kind of guy to always take, they know that if they need me I’m already there. I feel very fortunate to have what all I do and if I never make it big, that’s fine with me. God has a plan for everyone, as for right now I’m making a living on nothing but my music and have for the last ten years. As far as not being original, that is up to my fans to decide. After thousands of cd and mp3 sales and countless live performances, you are the first one to say anything like this. No offence but you need to quit wasting your time trying to make someone feel bad and start using it to do something great for yourself. Whoever you are, you are better than this.

No hard feelings man, I wish you the best anyway
