On Friday, I received the ‘Shine A Light’ award from the Jewish Federation of Broward County ✨️
.
For the record, they reached out to me about this BEFORE learning that my mom is Jewish ☝🏼😌
.
Denise Lettau -- the distinguished emcee who introduced me & The Golden People to the audience -- referred to me as ‘Dr. Star’ because I “write medicine into my music.” 😅
.
And she's right, cuz music really does have global healing powers 🌎🌍🌏
.
That said, I believe success is measured not in likes, but in lives touched.
.
I’m also pretty sure that LOVE is a common denominator across all mainstream religions ∞
.
So, since music crosses borders and communicates to people in ways that general conversation can't…
.
Can we please start putting more love into our lyrics?
.
Not corny love…
.
Genuine love.
.
The kind of love that values other people over self.
.
The kind of love that likes to see other people win.
.
I’ve swum upstream as an #ImpactArtist for most of my career…
.
But I can feel the currents shifting in real time.
.
#ImpactMusic is coming to the forefront of culture in a big way...
.
So I’ma jus keep on givin’ hope while bein’ dope like I been doin' ✌🏼😎
.
Thank you again to @jewish_broward for this humbling award.
.
I feel seen, honored, and affirmed 🎶🌟✨
