THE MUSIC
You recently released the album Immortal. What’s the inspiration behind the title?
I put a lot of effort into thinking about the title, as I wanted the album to define or rather capture what’s going on in my life at the moment. I’m feeling a tad invincible right now. Its good to know that I’ve been in the business for 16 years, and that I’m still relevant and have the opportunity to still do what I love! I’m so grateful. “Immortal” is obviously about somebody who lives forever. I’m also a born-again Christian and I believe the album gives me an opportunity to minister. I believe that if you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you will have eternal life –you are immortal in a spiritual sense. So it’s a double whammy!
