“Change In Your Name” is a song that I truly believe God wrote through me. The lyrics came to life in just minutes, as if they poured out on their own. At the time, I was feeling lost and alone, and what started as a conversation with God quickly became the heart of this song. Filming the music video was especially meaningful—it was my first real production, and it holds a special place in my heart. The journey to this point hasn’t been easy, but seeing how the song has touched so many lives makes it all worthwhile. Throughout the shoot, I tried my best to hold back tears, but by the end—standing in the rain, reflecting on everything it took to get here—I couldn’t hold them back anymore. I hope this record continues to heal those who hear it as it has healed me.”
