Hi guys,

Thanks for joining my network! I hope you're enjoying my music! Invincible is #4 on the Melbourne Pop Charts and I'm super excited! Invincible was the first song I ever released! Back in 2015. It was also the first song I recorded with the producer I've been working with for three years now! We are working on a debut album, which I am so proud of and excited about!

Please check out the music video for Invincible! It was the first video I shot, and I really love it - hope you do too!

Dear Subscribers,

Thank you so much for joining me here and listening to my music. I hope you enjoy the songs, and that they weave a message of hope and freedom around your lives.

I think music is an extremely powerful gift to hold and to share. Music has transformed my life, and my prayer for my music is that it will influence, shape, impact, and inspire many lives. Today, I have shared 5 songs from my debut EP, 'Introducing an Emancipation'. I released it independently in August last year, although it was recorded back in 2014. As you know, being an independent artist isn't easy, and so it took me some time to prepare for release. Since 2014, however, I have been writing and recording new material for my debut album. I am so proud of these songs. They tell a very personal story, one that I cannot wait to share with the world. But for now, here is my EP for you to listen to and enjoy.

'Introducing an Emancipation' is just that. An introduction to me as an artist, a singer, a writer, a person. It is also an introduction to a journey that I have been on my entire life, and will continue to be, reaching a place of self love and acceptance, in other words: emancipation. I believe such a feeling of freedom comes from many different places. It may come in the loving embrace of a partner, in the comforting words of a friend, in the warmth of family, or in the solace of faith. But, it can also come from within, by accepting yourself, learning about yourself - everyday - and teaching yourself to love yourself. I also realize that emancipation is a journey. It is not a final resting place, nor the destination. But each time I feel low, or depressed, I remind myself of emancipation and I seek a better attitude, a better tomorrow.

I was bullied terribly at school for being different. At the time others could see who I was without me knowing, and they used that power against me, to abuse me. I never felt right in my body, I always wanted to play with the girls, be like the girls. It wasn't until puberty that I realized I was gay, and then growing up in a Christian community, I struggled with my identity and reconciling it with my faith.

I moved from school to school never feeling secure, or loved. Finally, I arrived at a school where I was admired for my quirkiness, respected for my character, and loved by dear friends whom I continue to cherish today. That was the first part of my journey to emancipation. The second was accepting my sexuality and loving myself regardless. It was an inner battle I struggled through in my late teens and even into my early twenties. I am only 22, and while I know there are struggles ahead, I feel secure in who I am.

If you listen to the music, and I mean really listen, there's a story there. This story. My story. It may not entire reflect your experience, but it may resonate with you and shed light on your own life. This is my hope.

I have posted the lyrics to my song - if you have time - take a chance to read them while you listen - hopefully the story is evident.

I have also attached my music videos. I am so proud of this pieces of art, and cannot wait to make more.

Well, I'll leave you now. Sorry for the gigantic ramble.

Once again, thank you for subscribing to me.

Much love and light to you all,

Alistair.
