'BORN' - A Long Awaited Album

27 Voyagers, One Journey, & the Music That Brought Us Together ❤️

To our 27 beloved voyagers, this is for you. ❤️

I remember receiving each of your applications, reading your stories and discovering the different paths that would eventually bring us together in Egypt.

Twenty-seven beautiful souls, each arriving with your own hopes, experiences, questions and personal calling.

I feel incredibly blessed to have walked alongside every one of you.

And today, after three years of writing, recording and nurturing these songs, Dermot and I have something very special to share.

When I Prayed to Give Up Music

It was in the mountains of Costa Rica that I made a prayer to God. I was ready to surrender music altogether.

I remember saying:

"God, if it is Your will for me to continue making music, then let it be You who writes through me."

And from that surrender, a song was born. Then another, and another.

I could never have imagined where those melodies would take us.

From Costa Rica to the deserts of the Sahara, into the King's and Queen's Chambers of the Great Pyramid, along the rivers of the Nile and eventually into the beautiful heart of Finland.

Our new album, BORN, is finally coming to life! 🎶

Many of you have asked us to make these songs available, particularly those you remember singing together during our journeys. And in many ways, this album has been created for you, just as much as it has been created for us.

Because behind every song is a story.

Every melody holds a memory, an encounter, a prayer or a moment that became deeply significant in our lives. Some of those stories are yet to be told, and in time, we hope to share the beautiful and sometimes extraordinary circumstances surrounding the birth of each song.

A Memory Bank for You and Your Loved Ones

Music has an extraordinary way of carrying us back to the moments that shaped us.

A melody can remind us of a place, a person, a prayer or a feeling we thought we had forgotten.

Sometimes, all it takes is hearing a few familiar notes to bring back that little flame of warmth within our hearts.

My hope is that BORN becomes a memory bank for you.

Something you can return to when you wish to remember the people you met, the places we walked, the songs we shared and the beautiful experiences that brought us together. But also something you can pass on to your loved ones, so that a little part of these journeys may continue through them.
