“Esther” is a tribute to brave women. In the story of Esther, she was an orphan jew living in exile in the Persian empire who would later become Queen. It’s safe to say her life was pretty good in the palace. But when a plan is devised to kill all of her people, she must act to save them. In those times, no one, not even the Queen was to approach the king unless called for and doing so risked being sentenced to death. But the famous quote from Mordecai, “maybe you were made queen for such a time as this” becomes the defining moment.

You have to think, Esther was living as royalty. She wanted for nothing. She was comfortable. She could have remained silent and lived out her days in luxury. To take a stand wasn’t just a risk of losing comfort but her life. But she chose bravery and love for others over her comforts. Wow, the selflessness. It wasn’t just for her family, but all of the Jewish people she risked her life for.

Esther would eventually gain the courage to confront the King, see the villain find justice and save her people. This is the kind of woman that reminds me of mothers and wives, who without thinking will bravely take on the world, loving their family in the most selfless ways. They could so easily live in the comforts of their own world but they choose a higher calling that’s not me-centered. Such a rare find these days, so I’m honored to say my mom and my wife exude these qualities so well and I’m so thankful God would put such amazing women in my life.

Read the book of Esther, it’s not long, and then listen to the song. Even with no lyrics, I find that the song tells the story so well musically. Maybe it’s just me but yeah, that’s the story behind “Esther”

A lot of people get angry when genres cross borders but by breaking the rules and experimenting with sounds we’ve gotten some of the best sub genres ever created. Imagine if rock and hip-hop never merged in the 2000’s, we would have never gotten Nu-metal bands like Linkin Park or Limp Bizkit. Pushing boundaries is what makes music great. No one likes just one band, most people enjoy more than one genre and sometimes those crossovers combine our favorites into one song. Remixing has been around for a long time so the idea of merging rock and EDM isn’t new, but it’s time for Christian music to catch up. Remixes and collabs between genres are an invite for fans to unite. These people like rock, the others love electronic music, what do they have in common? They love music, they love God and they love a good time. We focus so much on what makes us different that we forget what we have in common. So let this remix be a uniting song that brings people together. With Love, Hydro Walkers.

Truth? Because I have experienced so much hell and evil in my life, that it’s very real to me. I’ve spent most of my life living right outside hell’s door. I didn’t become a Christian until late in my adult life but I knew the spiritual world existed. I knew there was a fight for our souls. During my childhood, I grew up with an alcoholic father. He was violent, angry, suicidal and it invited demons into our house. I won’t get into the details but I could see what addiction was doing to my dad. He wasn’t always bad. He went to Bible school before I was born. But he had demons. He lost that fight and died when I was 15 years old at 37. I was an angry kid. I moved out at 18 and went on to have the same demons he had plus some. I’d begin an 11 year self destructive path, taking on alcoholism and new levels of addiction including a coke habit. I wanted to forget everything that happened to me. I wanted to escape and I didn’t care how close to hell I would get or how hot the flames were. I sought comfort in drugs, sex, party life and anything I could do to numb myself. The longer I lived this way, you’d think the devil would let up and move on figuring he got me but no. Guilt and shame fueled depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. I’ve done so many things that would shock most Christians. The filth you’ve seen in movies that disgust you, yeah not just in the movies. If you saw video of the life I lived, the places I’ve woken up in, heard the way I used to speak, you’d think there’s no way that guy is a Christian. I got to a point where I was tired of being controlled by my addictions. What started as an escape, controlled me. I now understood what my dad was fighting and I wasn’t mad at him anymore. I could see the same fight happening for my eternity. Hell was doing all it could to suck me in. So when I hear the phrase “Hell Can’t Have Me” it resonates on a very personal level because I have lived and seen how hard the enemy fights for our eternity and he’s not satisfied until he has you. But that didn’t happen. Jesus happened.

The music industry prefers young talent. The problem is, I’m not a teenager anymore. I spent my teens and 20’s fighting a drug and alcohol addiction. Honestly, I wasn’t fighting it until an OD, I wanted it because it helped me deal with my trauma. By the time I stepped into a church, hungover and high, my 20’s were practically over. God saved my life on a few occasions, delivered me from my addictions and set me free. But here I was, 30 and feeling like my best years were behind me. I got into music, taught myself how to write and produce a song start to finish. God planted this desire in me to make music. So I did it as a hobby while working a 50-60 hr/week job. Last year felt like a blessing and a curse, I had to have a couple surgeries that took me out of work and while it was extremely painful, it was a blessing that God allowed me to put more time into learning and making music. I never had more than 50-60 monthly listeners while I did it as a hobby. Once I was able to work, I hit 100 and so I asked God to get me to 1,000 monthly listeners by Christmas if this is what He wants me to do. Christmas Eve I had 2,000. Praise God! I truly believe that God wants to move in all genres of music. Even an instrumental song made by someone inspired by the Holy Spirit can move someone. It breaks through language barriers. But here I am, a little bit older, competing in a teen and early 20’s market in two niches that aren’t super popular, “Christian” and “Dance Music”. They also said I needed to stick to one sub genre but I don’t want to be chained to one genre, I’ve lived enough of my life in chains. So if I wanna make pop, dance, house, progressive house, melodic bass, drum & bass, trap, trance & hip-hop beats, I will.. and I did. I’m proud to be at 3,000 listeners but I’m believing it will continue to grow. Will you help me?
