These songs were written for you.
The songs are original–
original lyrics, original music, original beats.
The vocalists are not famous and not professionally trained.
They are teens, just like you, who took the opportunity to record in a studio
with a music producer.

There are people in our lives who have an impact on us – for good. In their own way – at least to us – they are “every day saints.” We are thankful they are there for us. This song is in honor of THAT person in YOUR life – that person who gives you support as you try

We Are the Nation
This song is sung by us — we the people.
No one attribute defines any one of us.
Each of us has many facets. Like diamonds.
We are the treasure of the nation.
Let us sparkle. Together.
