The Masquerade

I've heard it said that nothing great is ever easy and I found that to be very true. I'm very proud of this record, but it has been the hardest, most trying endeavor I have ever done. I have experienced so much death and pain and physical ailments. There were times that I really wasn't sure if I would live to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I'm so grateful for God‘s strength to bring me through and I wanted to personally thank every single Rose fan and Kickstarter supporter. You guys made this possible. I kept praying and pushing through because of all your kind words and your support. This is our record; you guys made it possible. I love and adore each and every one of you. I've made a lot of friends during this journey and I'll never be the same.
The Masquerade was recorded from 2018 to 2022 at Rose Studios, Frisco Texas.
