A BRIEF TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE

16 years ago. My first show in Aotearoa (New Zealand). I was 24 years old and I had just released my first album. Katie (who was my girlfriend at the time) was already a couple months into a year long backpacking trip through South America, the South Pacific, SE Asia and Africa. She wasn’t waiting around for me. We both knew she didn't need a man to help her accomplish her dreams. She was the person who inspired me to really reach for my dreams. She was, and still is, someone who isn't afraid to go "all in" for what the spirit and the soul are calling.

I had to make a decision that 24 year old me thought was either black or white. Do I stay back in America and pursue my career or go on a year long vision quest with the woman I couldn’t live the rest of my life without? I knew there really wasn’t a choice in the matter (especially after I sobered up). I chose the latter and it was one of the best decisions I could’ve ever made for my life and for my career. It was a good lesson on duality.

We’re still on that vision quest, it just looks a little different now because there’s three of us.

Wanishi.
