Just a song about my mama, recorded live in one take through my computer
An upcoming acoustic solo artist
Writing songs on and off for 16 years, a move to New Orleans finally broke this performer out of his shell. With powerful, poignant lyrics and a simple driving rhythm guitar, this singer/songwriter and upcoming acoustic solo artist can wither even the strongest of hearts.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song with my friend Regina. Both of our mothers are islanders. Even though they may have come from different islands, both of them had to go through tough times to make it in a brand new country. I guess this song is about that. On a side note, part of the chorus is from the Samoan National Anthem.
