02 / Know

Know the Story

The distance traveled is part of the rhythm.

I wrote Dream Life in the space between where I started and where I’m heading—East L.A. memories behind me, rhythm in front of me and enough light to recognize how far I have come.

Roots may ground us. They don’t hold us back.

The origin

Dream Life looks back at the distance between humble beginnings and the freedom to live, move and make music on your own terms. It is not a fantasy of perfection; it is a celebration of growth, self-expression and recognizing that the life in front of you is worth enjoying.

03 / Feel

Feel the Soul

What I want you to feel.

The song leaves room for listeners to recognize their own progress. It is an invitation to enjoy the present without forgetting the people, places and experiences that made it possible.

Keep listening
