“FOR YOU” is a song about letting go and allowing myself to have fun – figuratively and literally. As my second release of the year, which comes right in time for the summer, I wanted to bring something new, but still familiar that I knew my audience would resonate with. Adam Nabeel, who is the producer, brought this record to life in the most unique way as he always does, and I hope that whoever listens to it is captivated by its infectious and positive energy. ”
