This is an open letter to all my fans, friends, and family as well…

On January 22, I will be releasing a single called “Earthquake” that will be released under the Island/Def Jam imprint. Immediately a few things run through my mind... 

MAINLY- I question is this record relevant in light of what’s going on in Haiti right now. And honestly, I believe it is! The reason I believe it is because the song is about overcoming your struggles and hardships just as the people in Haiti will be doing once things get better. I totally understand what it is to lose family members. I lost both of my parents and it left me with a very empty feeling in my heart. It was hard some days to even deal with life and its everyday struggles we go through. However, I overcame tragedy and used it as a building block to make things better for myself and let all the pieces come together. That’s just natural progression.
