The Cost of Producing Music for Downloads
<p><strong>The Cost of Producing Music for Downloads.</strong> </p>
<p>I get asked all the time about getting new songs uploaded and why it takes so long. </p>
<p>Here is the answer... </p>
<p><em><strong>I am one hundred percent self-funded.</strong></em> </p>
<p>Out of every 1,106 free streaming plays, I average one 99 cent download (which by the way is also the industry average for all artists). </p>
<p>Of that 99 cents I must pay the Streaming Service Fees, website hosting fees, the financial platforms (Paypal, Bandzoogle; etc), other musicians, Mastering Engineer, and other production costs. </p>
<p>This leaves approximately 64 cents per download to pay all other costs including sound engineering, equipment costs, copywriter fees, etc. </p>
<p>That's why it takes months to put a new song up. </p>

Reviewing David Chenault's 'Somewhere Along The Road Tour'
<p> </p>
<p>From <strong>Christian Music Reviews</strong>: </p>
<p>Reviewing David Chenault's <strong><em>'Somewhere Along The Road Tour'.</em></strong></p>
<p>Foggy river bottoms, pilot boats, Pentecostal tent revivals...David Chenault has had many life experiences, and they are very evident in his music. When he was a small boy, his dad would play Hank Williams, Johnny Horton, Johnny Cash, Mahalia Jackson, Country & Western, and Jazz records on an old RCA record player. </p>
<p>As a result of these early eclectic experiences, David's influences became wide and varied, resulting in a deep love and respect for all forms of traditional American music. </p>
<p>David was raised in church, in the southern Pentecostal tradition. There, he began to develop a love for the spiritual and soulful sounds of what he calls "Delta Gospel". A sound, he says that "is completely unique to the southern Pentecostal church, but that became the most influential sound ever in American Music". Elvis, Ry Cooder, Creedence Clearwater, Hank Williams, Russ Taff, and entire generations of black musicians, blues players and Rock & Roll musicians, all borrowed heavily from the unique sounds of this "Delta Gospel". </p>
<p>Even many years later as a rock musician, his fans would mention the unique style and sound of David's music. It seems he simply could not leave his "first love" - or rather, it couldn't leave him. John Fogerty, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Russ Taff, Hank Williams Sr., early Elvis Presley, and many traditional Pentecostal artists, have all had a big influence on David's music. </p>
<p>Even though you can hear these influences in his music, David Chenault sounds like no one else, and no one else sounds like him. I remember when I first experienced David's music. I saw him on TV in Ohio, it was a live concert at a church in Cincinnati. I was taken aback by his music's uniqueness and freshness. I had never heard any Christian artist quite like him. </p>
<p>David is one of those rare artist's that is much better live and in person, than he is in a studio. His live performances are what really won me over. I must admit, a while later when I got the chance to catch him live in concert in Huntington, West Virginia, that I immediately became a fan. </p>
<p>The one thing that I think separates David from his peers is his songwriting. Rare is the artist who can arrange, write and produce as prolifically as he does. His poetry and lyrical mastery are evident throughout his songwriting. </p>
<p>His honest approach and obvious love for traditional American gospel music is infectious and compelling. Now I too am a fan of this "Delta Gospel". My hope is that he will continue to write, produce, and perform Christian music for us all. Believe me, when I say that Christian Music needs David Chenault much more than he needs it... </p>
<p>If you love traditional American music , music that is primal, original and relevant, and music that invokes the Spirit and speaks of a life lived by faith, you will truly love the epic poetry and soulful grace of David Chenault... </p>

From David Chenault Brand New Song Released!
<p>Hello, </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Listen to: <a contents='"Somewhere Along The Road"' data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://davidchenaultmusic.com/track/2667892/somewhere-along-the-road">"Somewhere Along The Road"</a></strong></p>
<p>I am super excited to announce that my latest track, "Somewhere Along The Road" is being officially released today! </p>
<p>I wanted you guys to be the first to hear it. "Somewhere Along The Road" is probably the most personal and autobiographical song I have ever written. It is an honest first-hand account of my experiences with and knowledge of my walk with our Lord and Savior. </p>
<p>The song is written from and admittedly with a highly allegorical and personal perspective of life and faith in Jesus Christ. I admit it uses a lot of imagery to accomplish it's point but I believe it works to keep things interesting and honest, </p>
<p>Please give it a spin and let me know what you think. I pray you like it and I am truly grateful for all the good and great things I am blessed with. </p>
<p>Blessings, <br>David Chenault <br>DavidChenaultMusic.com</p>

Hello and Greetings from the Recording Studio.
<p>Hello everyone! </p>
<p>I hope you are doing well and everything is going great for you. I wanted to update you on what's been going on. For the past few weeks, I have been in the studio working on my latest track entitled "Somewhere Along The Road". </p>
<p>With all the changes that have been going on due to Covid 19, I thought you might find it interesting to know that this social distancing thing actually has turned out to be a blessing in disguise for me. </p>
<p>As a by-product of Covid, I have worked out a system with some awesome musicians where we share files back and forth across this amazing thing we call the Internet. The Internet has made it possible for me to write and record the rhythm tracks on guitar, then to share these files one by one with the other players. Then, each one of them lays down their part and returns it back to me for final approval. </p>
<p>From start to finished product, It usually takes about a month to complete each track. This allows me to proceed at a steady but rapid pace and also gives me the flexibility to produce the final product at home in my DAW without any loss in sound quality. </p>
<p>As a result of all of this, I have rediscovered my love for producing music. I obviously am a songwriter first, but I also love to produce. I hope you find this interesting, I tried not to bore you with too many details. Like I said, I just wanted to touch base with you and keep you informed. </p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to read. I will continue to keep you informed in the next few days on the progress of the new track. You will be among the first to hear it and of course you will be able to download it or just STREAM it for FREE! <br>I will talk to you soon. Please be on the lookout for my next message. </p>
<p>Thanks so much for reading. </p>
<p>Blessings, <br>David Chenault <br><a contents="https://davidchenaultmusic.com/home" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://davidchenaultmusic.com/home">https://davidchenaultmusic.com/home</a></p>

<p>Hello everybody. I am super excited to announce that<em><strong> "The Whittler"</strong></em> has now officially been released for purchase, downloads and streaming! I had an absolute blast recording it. It's always a pleasure of mine to play along with other musicians and groove on what they bring to each project. In this case, I had the immense pleasure of working along side the awesome Dow Tomlin on bass guitar and the amazing Wayne Killus on drums.</p>
<p>Essentially, this track has a very simple sound and approach. My idea from the beginning for this song was just straight ahead rock and roll. So, the track has myself on guitars and just a bass guitar and drums. I am also well pleased with the mastering on it. The track was mastered (as all of mine are), at AfterMaster Studios in Hollywood California. Pete Doell, the mastering engineer, has mastered projects for many Hollywood movies and dozens of famous clients. He is a very articulate and impressive professional.</p>
<p>Anyway, I wanted you that are on my mailing list and fans lists to be among the first to stream or download <em><strong>"The Whittler"</strong></em>. <em><strong> </strong></em>Please stop by my website at <strong><a contents="davidchenaultmusic.com" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://davidchenaultmusic.com" target="_blank">davidchenaultmusic.com</a> </strong>and give it a listen. I would greatly appreciate it. You can download it or stream it for FREE! And, while you are there, please stop by my about/guestbook page and leave a comment or just say hi.</p>
<p>Blessings. Talk soon,</p>
<p>David</p>

News from the Studio and a BRAND NEW version of "The Whittler"
<p>Hey everybody. Just a short note to tell you what's up. I am finishing up this coming week on a brand new arrangement and recording of my song "The Whittler." For those of you familiar with the song, this new arrangement is very different. Things have been simplified. On the track it's just me on guitars, a bass guitar and drums. I have been very blessed to have two amazing, world-class musicians with me on bass and drums. I plan to finish up with recording the vocal this coming week. Then I will send it off for mastering. I will post again and keep you informed when I release it, hopefully in the next seven to ten days. </p>
<p>Blessings, </p>
<p>David</p>

Gratitude for Mother (and all of you) on Mother's Day.
<p>Well today is Mother's Day and I have been thinking about how grateful I am to have had a mother who taught me about right and wrong. My mom was old school, old fashioned, and reserved in nature and I am glad she was. She taught me to respect and honor God, my fellow man and my elders. Cursing wasn't allowed in our home, and you better not be caught in an outright lie!</p>
<p>We prayed in our house. We honored both God and country. As a result of my upbringing, I learned to place the proper amount of value on the people, places and things I am grateful for in my life. Also, the musical legacy that I was surrounded by growing up in church has had the most profound affect on me. I will always be grateful for that. And, I will eternally remain grateful to my mother for that.</p>
<p>Anyway, today I am feeling so blessed in life. I am just sitting here at my computer and placing my thoughts on this screen. Also, I wanted to thank each and everyone of you for your support and encouragement. You inspire me. You keep me motivated to continue and I am grateful for each and everyone of you! May God continue to bless you and your families. I am honored and humbled that you are my friends, my fans, and I like to think of you as family.</p>
<p>So today, happy Mother's Day to each and every mother. God bless you all. And also, a big shout-out to each of you for your continued support. I hope today you are well and fine. Remember to call or talk to your mother today and tell her how much you love her. God bless have a great day. </p>
<p> </p>

In The Studio This Week
<p>Hello! I thought I would drop a line here and let you know I am in the studio the next few days working up new guitar and vocal tracks for my song <strong>"The Whittler"</strong>. I am very excited about this track. I have been planning on working on "The Whittler" for some time. </p>
<p><strong>"The Whittler"</strong> is actually the first Christian themed song I ever wrote. It is based on a true story about a man in my home town. He and I used to sit and talk on the river bank on a park bench. I was fascinated by his carvings. He would take driftwood out of the river and whittle works of art out of it.</p>
<p>The song is very personal to me. I look forward to getting it finished this week. As soon as I get it recorded, engineered and mastered, I will let you know. Thanks for reading.</p>
<p>Talk soon,</p>
<p>David</p>

Gratitude Is Riches, Complaint Is Poverty.
<p>Sometimes, it can seem to be a daunting task to have faith. To be faithful and filed with faith can require a focus that sometimes may seem to be too much of a requirement for some. Faith for me is not a noun but a verb. I always say faith is a verb. Faith requires action. Faith is a choice. Faith is a deliberate decision, a decision to think a certain way, a decision to react in faith. A decision to be grateful.</p>
<p>Without faith, the bible says it is impossible to please God. Faith is not a task. When we look at faith as a task it becomes a chore, a heavy burden and not a wonderful choice.<em> <strong>I choose to look at faith as a great opportunity to serve God and my fellow man.</strong></em> I have found the easiest way for me to walk in faith is to choose gratitude. I choose to be grateful in ALL things. When we are truly grateful, when we start each with a grateful heart, our lives are transformed! </p>
<p>We can always be grateful. Just like faith, being grateful is a choice. <em><strong>And, when you choose heart-felt, sincere gratitude, your whole world will change</strong></em>. The easiest way to be grateful is to give thanks for each and everything and everyone in your life.Make a choice to live a life of gratitude and I promise you that your entire world will change. So be grateful, sincerely grateful from your heart and be kind. You will find gratitude will change everything for you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.”</strong></p>
<p>Philo of Alexandria PHILOSOPHER</p>

He gave His life so that we could have life more abundantly. There would be no Easter without Jesus. There would be no Christmas without Jesus. There is no peace without Jesus.</p>
<p>So today, let us give Him praise and thanks. Let our hearts be filled with gratitude for our Lord. Thank You Lord for making a way for us to know You even better. Thank You for all You did and for all You've done for each and everyone of us.Amen.</p>

Some Thoughts on this Pandemic and Corona Virus/Covid 19.
<p><em><strong>Some Thoughts on this Pandemic and Corona Virus/Covid 19.</strong></em></p>
<p>Hello everybody. It's been a while since I lasted posted on this blog and for that I am sorry. Sometimes, it can take a tragedy or some big event to stir us out of our complacency. I have been really busy but not too busy to regularly post on my blog.</p>
<p>I have recently been thinking about some things as a result of this unprecedented event - this Corona virus or Covid 19, or whatever you want to call it. I have come to realize how very grateful I am for this music ministry I have been blessed with. I truly am very grateful to be able to write, sing, play and record my music. God has been so good to me! Also, I am very grateful for each and every one of you.</p>
<p>I am making both you and myself a promise. That promise is to never again allow myself to fall back into a trap of complacency and indifference.I am excited to announce that I am going to include a song from a previous album of mine on my new Album <em><strong>"Somewhere Along The Road". </strong></em>That song, <strong>" The Whittler" </strong>will be the fifth track<em><strong> </strong></em>on the new album. In the next few days, I am going back into the studio to remix, remake and record <strong>"The Whittler".</strong> My goal is to get it recorded with a brand new vocal and new guitar parts. I plan to have it engineered, remixed and mastered in the next two weeks. I will keep you up to date on how things are going.</p>
<p>Like I said earlier, I am making myself and you a promise to regularly start posting again on this blog. I look forward to speaking with you again very soon. Thanks for reading.</p>
<p>Talk soon.</p>

Little Pigeon Baptist Church
<p>We had a great time at Little Pigeon Baptist Church this morning. I did a set of old hymns including "Holy Ground" and "The Old Rugged Cross". I believe people were truly blessed. I am always amazed how praising God through music can bring people into His presence.I am truly blessed that the Lord has given me the drive, the desire and the talent to sing His praises.</p>
<p>Those old hymns are so anointed and spirit-filled. They help me to recharge myself. Sometimes, it is easy to get caught up in my own music and kind of lose sight of how much Gospel music can affect people. Those old hymns are a breath of fresh air for me, and they help to remind me of the calling and anointing God has placed on my life.</p>
<p>I am so very grateful that I am a Gospel Music artist and I thank God for that calling.</p>

Lincoln State Park - Lincoln City, Indiana
<p>We had a great time at <strong>Lincoln State Park</strong> this morning. People were blessed and we all had a great time in the Lord. Although, I must admit, it can be a little tough to sing and play at eight A.M. I am usually still working on my first cup of coffee that early in the morning. Thanks to Brother Steve Staub for a great word that he shared with us this morning.</p>
<p>I am looking forward to our next event at the park. </p>

Recording Studio Frustrations.
<p>I just spent the entire afternoon in the studio trying to get the lead vocal on my new track, "The New Jerusalem" recorded. After nine takes, I didn't get it right. Oh! the frustration lol... I have never been a big fan of the recording studio, I much prefer playing live. I think it even causes me more frustration because I wrote that song! You would think a guy could get his own song right... grrr...</p>
<p>Oh! well, there's always tomorrow. I can begin again my love/hate relationship with recording. I gotta go in there tomorrow and just knock this thing out. Just nail it. You know what I mean?</p>
<p>Oh! well. Later.</p>

A Healthy You Makes Way for Great Music. Take Care of Yourself.
The 30 day challenge.
Sick and tired of being overweight, sick and tired? Want to feel better, become healthy, and reverse disease?
... Avoid the "GOADS" and get off the
"SAD" (Standard American Diet). You can greatly improve your health and reverse many diseases, all while losing weight.
AVOID: the G.O.A.D.S. (All GOADS cause inflammation. Inflammation contributes to almost all chronic diseases).
GOADS are:
G. - GRAINS - and GLUTEN.
O. - OIL. - All vegetable oils.
A. - ALL- man-made, processed, packaged, refined, fake foods. (IF it's packaged, in a box, etc; it's usually refined. There are some exceptions
- cold caught Salmon, canned chicken breast fresh frozen vegetables, and a
few others, read the label).
If there are any man-made artificial ingredients or additives, DON'T EAT IT! Including breakfast cereals, breads, crackers, potato chips, packaged foods, all fast foods, etc..
D. - DAIRY milk. Cut out all dairy milk. Substitute almond milk and other nut milks.
S. - SUGAR. Never intentionally eat anything with sugar in it.
Do:
Use only 100 percent Cold Pressed Virgin Olive Oil, Butter, or Coconut Oil - (butter and cheeses are optional).
Eat only certified organic vegetables, free range, and grass fed meats whenever possible. Do the best you
can if you don't have access to organic.
As stated above, cheese and butter
are optional. Some people choose to eliminate all dairy products.
Eat vegetables at every meal.
Eat a moderate amount of fruit.
NEVER eat margarine. Margarine is
toxic to your body!
NEVER eat sugar. Sugar has been shown to be the number one inflammatory, and has been shown to have a direct link to cancer and inflammation. Inflammation is present in all chronic disease.
If you want to lose weight rapidly, limit your carb intake to 20 grams or fewer
per day.
Try this lifestyle for 30 days, and you won't believe the difference in how you look and feel!
I live this lifestyle. I lost 37 pounds, I feel great. I do not miss the SAD way of eating.
Take the 30 day challenge. Try doing this for 30 days. You will be glad you did.

The Battle: Drug and Alcohol Addiction.
Watching someone you love, that has fought so hard to beat addiction, throw everything away and sink back onto a life that will most likely lead to jail or death, is one of the hardest things you will ever do. You want to help them back to a clean and sober life but you realize by doing this, as you have so many times before, will now just be enabling them because it will show them that you will always be there to bail them out. You want to grab and shake them and say "What are you doing" but at some point you realize that it wouldn't make a difference. So you sit back and watch the tragedy unfold, as if you are watching a movie. Feeling helpless to stop it, feeling like you haven't done enough to help, even though you know only the addict can help themselves.
Loving a drug addict or an active alcoholic is the hardest thing you will ever have to go through. I have friends and family who have gone through this battle.
Battling a drug and/or an alcohol addiction is a beast for the person addicted and the ones who love them. So l am asking you to stand with me in prayer for every family member and friend who has lost their battle with drugs and alcohol and those who continue to conquer it! Put this on your page for one hour if you know someone who has or had an addiction. Many will be hesitant to copy and paste this. Some of you won't paste this but I think I know the ones who will. And thanks in advance!

Paleo vs Keto.
Take care of yourself, take care of your music.
I thought I would post this to also share with others.
I do Paleo.
Why do I do Paleo?
Paleo is like Keto but better for you. I live by the following...
Limit carb intake to 20 - 40 grams daily. 20g will cause rapid weight loss 40g for weight maintenance.
Avoid the G.O.A.D.S. -
Grains/gluten.
Oils (all vegetable oils).
ALL man-made, fake, refined, boxed, packaged, etc foods.
Dairy milk (cheeses and butter are optional).
SUGAR (Sugar IS addictive and the biggest source of inflammation). Inflammation is present in all chronic disease.
I DO eat cheese and butter.
I use Pure 100 percent Virgin Olive oil and/or coconut oil.
Always choose organic everything when possible.
I drink half my body weight in ounces of water daily. (Bottled, purified, stream - NEVER TAP)...
I have lost 37lbs and kept it off. I have never felt better.
I call this "Paleo Perfect". Eat great delicious home made meals and never gain weight again. Eat liberal amounts of fruit, and vegetables, organic when possible, limit your sugar intake from fruits. Rid your body of inflammation. Eating the way our ancestors ate.
Prevention is the best medicine. ☺
I hope this helps someone.

Drugs and Alcohol Addiction.
TRUTH, Drugs are a nasty habit, they not only destroy the person using but they also destroy all the ones around them that love them. Every pill taken, every meth/crack pipe smoked, every needle put in a vein, every line cut, slowly kills them and their families!!!!
Battling a drug and alcohol addiction is a beast for the person addicted and the ones they love. So I am asking you to stand with me in support for every family member and friend who has lost their battle with drugs and alcohol and those who Continue to battle with it or Conquered it. ?

Writing, Arranging and Producing Music.
<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>Today I am in the studio, arranging and producing. It's funny, but I must admit, I have an ongoing love-hate relationship with technology. But, I refuse to use computer-generated music and vocal auto-tuners! It's really us, or I won't approve it! ??</p>

King David and How God Restored Him.
A guest post by my friend, Pastor Jason Lindsey.
David, Israel’s king who wrote Psalm 51, brought shame on himself and his nation by his sins. He committed adultery with the wife of one of his friends and engineered the death of that friend. Both deeds worthy of death. It would seem his life was ruined. But he pled with God: “Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me”. Like David we have shameful acts in our past and the memories that stick with them, recollections that hinder us in the middle of the night. There’s so much we wish we could undo or redo.There is a grace that not only forgives sin but also uses it to make us better than before. God wastes nothing. He flips it into a blessing ?

A Brief Testimony From A Lifestyle Of Hypocrisy.
<p>A brief testimony from a lifestyle of hypocrisy. (Why it is never too late for you). </p>
<p>I was raised in church. I played Christian for years. I went to church even as an adult and did not know the Lord, even though I pretended to be someone else. I sang His music and continued in my sin. I drank constantly and did prescription drugs. I was the ultimate hypocrite! I was almost always high. I hid those things from everyone.</p>
<p>For most of my adult life, I was not genuine. I was a fraud. I sinned and did many shameful things, even as I claimed to be a Christian. I batteled with addictions and sin. I hurt others. I wound up crushed and broken in my hypocrisy.</p>
<p>Thankfully that with most of my sins, I was too high at the time to even remember what I had done. To this day, large swaths of my memory are missing! Finally, and thankfully, I crashed and burned. I wound up feeling completely defeated. I even ended up in a treatment center for my addictions. Somehow, through all of that God never gave up on me. He never gave up on me!</p>
<p>When I did finally give my heart truly to the Lord, everything changed! I changed. God forgave me, even though I had destroyed a marriage, and had sinned with and against others and had hurt other people.</p>
<p>Sometimes, I still struggle with forgiving myself. I pray constantly to learn how to forgive myself the way God has forgiven me. I also pray that those I sinned against can forgive me. If God can forgive me, He can forgive you too!</p>
<p>It's never too late. I often tell people when I sing or play God's music, that I truly believe I am the least Christian in the room. But, God does not see us that way. God casts our sins in the sea of forgetfulness. The Bible says he wipes our sin away, never to be remembered!</p>
<p>If you feel lost in life or broken, if you have had a similar lifestyle to mine, or you currently are living a life in sin or hypocrisy like I did, remember this; God has forgiven me, He will forgive you too! He will walk with you through your struggles. He promises to never leave you nor forsake you.</p>
<p>Today is the first day of the rest of your life when you accept Jesus! Repent from your sins, invite Jesus to be Lord of your life. It's never too late. God loves you. He has forgiven me. He will forgive you too. Ask Jesus into your heart today. Make Him Lord of your life. Then you too can say...</p>
<p>"Thank you Lord that you never gave up on me"...</p>

The King of Kings.
I am so blessed. I have a beautiful young wife who loves me. I have 5 precious fur babies whom adore me (and 6 outside kitties)... A God who holds my life in His hands. He who has made all things gave me the life of my dreams. I asked Him to be a songwriter. He granted my wish. I am so blessed! I am so VERY grateful. He has saved me. He has cast my sins into the sea of forgetfulness! I am FOREVER grateful to the King of kings. I was lost. Now I am found!

Mixing, Mastering, Producing, Engineering.
Yes, there are million dollar recording studios. But, when it comes to recording, producing, mixing and mastering, I am convinced... "It's the ear not the gear, that makes a great engineer". ??

Please Don't Call Me Religious.
Please do not call me religious.
I am always amused when people say, "Oh, he is religious." No, I am not religious. I am in a relationship with Jesus, they are completely separate things.
I think that is why some people never "find" Jesus, because they get lost looking for Him through religion.
Jesus is not religion. Jesus is relationship. The best Friend you will ever have! And you can know Him today. By simply asking! You can invite Him into your life right now. He will become your best Friend also! He will stick with you, closer than a brother.

Somewhere Along The Road
I am excited to announce that I am currently in the studio writing, arranging and producing the new album project "Somewhere Along The Road".
This album is especially significant to me because it is highly personal and autobiographical.
I am blessed to be working with some gifted and special people on this project.
I feel that I am in the place where God wants me to to be at this time.
As we progress track-by-track on this album, I am reminded of God's amazing grace and favor in my life.
I am looking forward with excitement to the completion of this project.
Blessings,
David

This little light of mine... (beacon obsessed)...
This little light of mine... (beacon obsessed)...
My sincere prayer is that when I mention a song or my website on FB or elsewhere, that people don't think that I am boasting. Jesus said do not put your light under a basket, but instead let it shine for the world to see. He also said to set your light on a hill for all to see.
My light is music. My sole purpose, and God knows my heart, is to shine my little light. I know some have been offended by me posting my music and website and, I
am sorry for that. I know this because I have been told this.
I am not a preacher or a teacher; music is all I know. Christian artists all run this risk of seeming self-promoting.
My only purpose was and is to shine my little light, and, not to promote myself. This light is something God gave me. It is all I know to do. If I don't let it shine, then the world would never know.
And, if only one soul is saved, my candle becomes a beacon. ??
