When I first started recording with Silent Riot, I had no idea what was ahead. I knew nothing about the music business at all. But I knew people. I love people. All my life, I wanted to be a preacher, teacher, officer (when I was a kid LOL), or anything that I thought could help or touch PEOPLE. But what I was always good at is singing so that is what I chose to go with to help bring change. So here I am, in Detroit Mi, with a hope and a vision for change that I seek in my city and even in my own life. And even though there are so many people who want to politic and put people in classes, I will continue to see you as my equal, though there are so many who don't respect a good message and would rather all my songs be about bitches, hoes, bricks and bo's, I will continue to make music that our children can listen to and be edified, though the promoter, managers, labels, artists, media, makes it all about them, it will always be about you. The people. The hopeless. The hurting. The lovers of change. The lovers of music. Those who keep fanning this flame and wont let it go out. My Supporters. I know enough to know that if it wasn't for your love, and your support, there would be no point in doing what I do because man's reason is not enough. I need to know it matters to you. I need to know that you were touched... blessed. My point is, it is more than music. There is a message of love, confidence, hope and strength in my songs. It is all for you...M.J.R.M.
