I got a message on my [Ab] phone saying that she had passed away.
[Db]
And everything [Ebm] went crazy.
My phone, text, [Bbm] Facebook, everything went crazy.
[Ab] And so I got an emergency flight back home.
[Db]
And [Ebm] as you can imagine, it was an emotional [Bbm] time.
I couldn't go home because the paparazzi were [Ab] outside my house.
And [Db] so I had been [Ebm] working on the album and I went to my producers [Bbm] just to get away.
Because they wouldn't know I was there.
[Ab] And I had been working there for a while.
And I recorded [Db] this song.
And it wasn't really for anybody to [Ebm] hear.
It was just a way of me just [Bbm] expressing myself.
And I remember crying in the booth while [Ab] singing this song.
And a year [Db] later, my friend said, why don't you put it out?
[Ebm] And I was like, it wasn't really for that.
[Bbm] And they said, no, I think you should put it out.
So I put it [Ab] out.
It's called You Let Me Breathe.
And [Db] it's out.
It's on YouTube.
And you can also [Ebm] get it outside.
[Bbm] So that was a few years ago.
Then [Ab] after that, my sister, who's 34 [Db] years old, died of cancer.
[Ebm] And it [Bbm]
was really hard [Ab] because I came from touring the world of Amy.
[Db]
Brushing shoulders with the A-lists [Ebm] and the prospects of her [Bbm] signing me to her label.
So the idea of, oh, you're going to tour.
[Ab] And Amy was invested in me.
[Db] I had a big management and a big record [Ebm] company.
But Amy was the motivation behind [Bbm] everybody making it happen.
[Ab] So then my sister got cancer.
[Db] And so I had to stop doing music for a year.
[Ebm] And I looked after her for about nine months.
And she passed [Bbm] away, leaving three children, which I now look after.
[Ab] Me, my mom, my brother, we look after her children.
[Db] And so what [Ebm] you guys are now seeing is me rebuilding [Bbm] from no longer working and [Ab] touring
and losing Amy and losing my sister [Db] and then becoming a dad.
But [Ebm] I knew that it was important for them to
[Bbm]
that even if you fall down, you [Ab] have to get back up.
[Db] So this is
[Ebm] [Bbm]
So [Ab] the experience through working with Amy just taught me to be honest.
[Db] Before, I [Ebm] was just trying to create music just to allow [Bbm] people to just
just to be famous.
Now I don't really care.
[Ab] Now I make what I feel really connects with me.
[Db] And it's
So it happened.
It's now [Ebm] connecting with more people.
It's funny that.
You try, [Bbm] try, try a certain way.
That doesn't work.
Just be yourself and it works.
[Ab] [Db] So [Ebm] [Bbm] I just want to say, if you guys are going through stuff,
use [Ab] me as a beacon.
I've [Db] gone through a lot.
It's been the hardest four years of my life.
[Ebm] But I'm here.
And I'm going to [Bbm] continue to grow.
[Ab] Ladies and gentlemen, this is Unit [Db] 3.
[Ebm] By the way, my sister's name was [Bbm] Amika Samoke.
And today is [Ab] the three years since she passed away on the 19th of March.
[Db] So I'm going to dedicate this song for my sister [Ebm] and also for Amy.
