Why BluesPress Exists
They say the blues finds you when you’re ready. For me, it didn’t come through a radio or a record collection—it came through the transformation of my son, Alexander.
As someone who has spent over 30 years exploring spiritual consciousness and the science of human frequency, I have always been fascinated by what causes a person to truly “step into their power.” …
“Through Alexander’s journey, I was pulled into the orbit of the blues community. I began to meet the artists—some directly as mentors to my son, others from the distance of a fan’s perspective.
What I found was a “precious heart” that exists across this entire community.”
