I hope that the message that I’m sending out in my music can help people young and old discover who they are.” “It’s important for this generation to be able to identify with something or someone positive, I pray that I can be that person and show that even in that you can still make music that “bangs”. That’s bridge music, that’s my music, that’s JP”.
