Experience new cultures, meet and get to know unfamiliar faces, and explore the world of the unknown. I want ‘Road Trip’ to be a song that really puts a smile on faces. The message also feeds strongly into the overall theme of my album ‘Destination Unknown’; In life we rarely know where our journey is taking us, but that’s what makes it so exciting. I want to encourage others to avoid living a cookie-cutter lifestyle, and step outside of the social-norm safety nets that society throws over us. Often risky decisions create the best memories. Every second of every day we add a new line to our life story, so make every chapter one to be remembered!”Critically.​To date ‘Destination Unknown’ earned a SAMA Nomination for ‘Best Produced Album Of The Year’, a finalist spot in the US Unsigned Only Music Competition, and a coveted win in the ISC International Songwriting Competition.
