The other day, my wife hit me with something profound: "You didn't choose music; it chose you." While many grow up dreaming of a life in music, my dreams were all about skateboarding—leaping down stairs and grinding on concrete ledges. But when that chapter closed, music unexpectedly filled the void. It started as a hobby, a bit of fun, then quickly spiraled into something deeper, almost an obsession. Whenever someone asks if I felt called to this path, the answer is a resounding yes. I feel like God reached out to me, guiding me to spread the Gospel through Heavy Rock and rap. I've come to believe that God has a knack for picking the most unexpected people to achieve remarkable things. Now, as I stand at the threshold of releasing my 15th album, it feels like I'm just getting warmed up. My hope is that these songs can either be a beacon of light pulling someone out of darkness or simply ignite a fire within you to keep moving forward.
The Plan
Embarking on this journey, I've been called to share a message that's much bigger than myself—a message of hope, faith, and redemption through rock and hip hop music.
The first step was making the record, and my friends and I poured our hearts and souls into it. But now comes the critical part - getting it into the hands of the people who need it most. That's where you come in. We need your help to raise $20,000 to fund our marketing efforts and bring these songs to people all over the globe.
With your contribution, we can share our music on all the major platforms, from Spotify and YouTube to Facebook, radio, Apple Music, Amazon, and more. We'll reach new listeners, connect with fans, and inspire people with our message.
I know I can't do this alone - I need a community of supporters, friends, family, and fellow entrepreneurs to join in this journey.
Together, we can make a difference and bring this message of hope and inspiration to the world. So join me, and let's make this happen!
The Mission
Growing up, I often bought CDs for just one song that caught my ear on the radio or in a movie, only to find the rest of the album didn't measure up. I couldn't play an instrument or write music back then, but I've always believed God blessed me with a keen sense for what makes a great song. This intuition drove me to strive for excellence in my music, ensuring every song I create resonates deeply.
Making music, for me, goes beyond crafting catchy guitar riffs, compelling lyrics, or melodies that linger in your mind—though these elements are crucial, or else my songs might never reach your ears. My true aim has always been to write music that offers hope, reflecting my journey of how Jesus brought light into my darkest moments. While the sound and style of my music may evolve, my mission remains unwavering, a constant for more than two decades.
The title of this album, "Learning How to Be Human," captures my ongoing growth and steadfast commitment to my calling. It's a reminder that, though I'm still learning, I remain dedicated to the purpose set before me from the start.
Brandon is not just a bestselling real estate author with over 1 million copies sold, he is widely recognized as one of the foremost experts on real estate investing. I had the privilege of seeing him speak in Nashville, and I was blown away by his confidence and ability to publicly call his shot - he declared that he would buy a home in Hawaii and move there within a couple of years. And that's exactly what he did, even faster than he had predicted. Brandon's example has shown me that it's possible to achieve your life goals while living your best life and prioritizing family. He has also personally taught me how to invest in multi-family real estate that will provide generational wealth for my children and their children.
Pat Flynn
As I rode the bullet train on tour in Japan, I found myself constantly tuned in to Pat Flynn's Smart Passive Income Podcast. Pat's personal story of being let go from his job and using that experience to start an online business was truly inspiring. It was his story that motivated me to start Smart Music Business, a platform that helps other musicians achieve their entrepreneurial goals. At that time, I was primarily earning money by trading my time for dollars through touring, but Pat's teachings on earning money online while you sleep opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me. Despite the incredible experience of touring, being away from my wife for 1.5 months made me realize that there was a better way to earn a living, and Pat's podcast showed me how to do just that.

Shane's captivating story of entrepreneurship, shared on Pat Flynn's podcast, had me hooked from the get-go.
