Story Behind The Song

"Determination" was created to remind us of the struggle to succeed, to motivate, to be determined in life. Its all about overcoming the odds no matter the ordeal. As indie artist we fight the battle of second guessing ourselves and our talents. But, being determined and having a never quit attitude always helps us stay focused.

With her lovely spoken word flow over the track and smooth back-ground vocals she truly brought the house on this song. She is joined by fellow True Passion Now members and Co-Producers J.E.

The will and the strength of heart
To see things through to the very end
And to not give up in a difficult situation
Determination

Not being diluted by ones weaknesses
But always being re-assured by ones strengths
