Praise Be
“Praise Be” is my very first release, and it felt right to start here because it brings glory to God. I’m totally new to recording—up until now, I’ve only written and played music at home. This song was recorded live in one take with just my ukulele and vocals. It’s raw, simple, and from the heart. “Praise Be” is about worshiping the one true God and appreciating how sovereign He is over everything. I’m still learning, working on my vocal technique, and excited to grow in mixing and mastering as I keep creating. Gotta start somewhere, and this is my beginning—pure praise from a place of gratitude and awe for who He is. I’d love to hear your feedback as I grow and learn—thank you sisters and brothers in Christ for listening and supporting this first step of my journey. All glory to God!!!!!!!!more
