This is a prayer for the poor, this is a prayer for the sick. Prayers for the people them living in the sticks”

“I aim to continue spreading peace among people of all creeds, religions and color through my music and philanthropic missions. After witnessing so much violence in my homeland, I vowed at an early age to promote goodness, fairness and equality in all I do and with those I am blessed to work with. It’s what drives the music I write and present to the world,”…… Junior Toots
