I'm in my 16th hour (+ 2 months) of listening, reaching out, connecting, getting to know the music and the art of extraordinary artists and musicians who pour their hearts and souls into the world, and I have one thought going through my mind: EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF YOU who are balloted this year -- and every year -- deserve to be on that ballot, and you are deserving of the recognition you seek -- often at great personal sacrifice. Today is the final day of campaigning. That moment of silence at 9:00 p.m. EST on the final day is always bittersweet and deafening. We've all spent months listening to thousands of submissions, and connecting with extraordinary humans from across the world -- and suddenly the quiet sets in. Many wonder "What's next?" Many are already working on their next big thing. No matter where you are in your journey, KEEP GOING. DON'T STOP. Keep making music and keep creating your art. Never allow anybody to tell you that you're not good enough, or talented enough, or young enough, or old enough, or experienced enough, or that you don't belong, or that you'll never achieve your dreams. Silence those inner or outer voices, and continue creating and bringing your art into this crazy world. YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH. YOU ARE TALENTED ENOUGH. YOU DO BELONG. YOU ARE ESSENTIAL. THE WORLD NEEDS YOU. AND YOUR DREAMS *WILL* COME TRUE. LET'S DO THIS!!!!! 💪🏻🙌🏻💖 T MINUS 19H 25 TO LAUNCH!!! 🥹🙌🏻💪🏻💖🎹🚀🌕💫✨️🎶🙏🏻

We Shall Rise Again and again we shall rise And shed our bruised and battered skin We shall step into invincible armor And hoist a thousand colors of Victory We shall tear down their walls And build roads paved in everlasting liberty Again and again we shall rise As they crumble under our Shields of Bravery #azadisongsoffreedom #FreedomDeclaration #humanrights #FreedomAlwaysTriumphs #AlbumOfTheYear #fyc #albumcover

There's controversy surrounding a figure skater who used music without the composer's permission and I therefore give my full permission to the figure skaters and dancers of the world to use my GRAMMY® Nominated piece HOPE ORCHESTRATED in their programs and choreographies. It has a slow build-up to a triumphant virtuosic finale with full orchestra. God would I ever love to see a figure skating program performed to my music!!! 🤩🤩🤩🎶⛸️✨ #Cortina #Olympics2026 #FigureSkating
