Defining the art work which is the timeless album cover
” The art work represents a lot of things in my life, I lost my son last year. He loved nature, he loved like trees. His best animal is elephant. When you look at the cover, you see elephant, you see a lot of things and then you see like a bird on the left and that represents like him. Like half of the songs, he was with me in the studio recording.
“So that’s where the art work came from because I want to like in 20 years play like this album and it has the same feeling. When I perform my music. Till today I came out with a song I recorded 13 years ago and its the same crowd reaction. I have people in the crowd that are 12 years old that were not even born so when I jam this record, they are going crazy. Thats what I mean by Timeless. ” he said
