Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement, Arman.
I truly appreciate you taking the time to listen. Id absolutely love to collaborate with you. Lets connect and make something amazing together! Excited to share more in the near future.

Thanks so much for your profound support, VN. I hope you enjoyed the weekend

Thanks for the feedback, Danke! I'm glad you enjoyed the melodies and vocals. Ill definitely consider adjusting the bass for a fuller sound. Appreciate your input. Thanks again

Hey, Zootman! Thanks so much for your kind words about my musicianship and songwriting. I really appreciate your honesty about the lyrics. I understand that the overtly Christian themes might not resonate with everyone, and I respect your perspective. Its great to hear that youll keep listening!

I used to rap a lot from the early 2000s to around 2013 under the stage name Rex Razor, and my songs back then were filled with anger, resentment, and demeaning statements towards my parents and others. Sometimes, we tend to want to keep our hearts dark and use that to drag others down with us. The themes were really tough. People loved those tracks, but everything changed after my encounter with the Lord. I totally get that my current direction might put some folks off.

I love that you connected my lyrics to Bob Marleys workhis music has such rich themes and depth. If you ever want to share more thoughts, Id love to hear them!

Hey. Nate.
Thanks so much for dropping by. I really appreciate it

Thank you so much for your kind words, Micky! I'm thrilled to hear that the music resonated with you in such a meaningful way. Its wonderful to know that it brought you comfort and uplifted your spirit. Your gratitude truly means a lot to me.

Just so you know, your words are incredibly encouraging. Thank you!

Sending love and peace your way,
Richard

Hello Glen,

Thank you so much for the kind words! Im glad you enjoyed the song. It means a lot that it resonated with you on such a deep level. It was truly a team effort, and Ill definitely pass along your shout-out to the rest of the team.
Thanks once again for your kind and encouraging words, and also for sharing this experience with us.

Thank you so much for the incredible feedback, Dimestop! Im really glad you enjoyed the track. Johns bass work truly shines; I wish I could play half as well as he does, haha! It means a lot to hear that the vocals and heartfelt message resonated with you. Were committed to spreading that love in every way we can! Your support means the world to us here on Lopperman and beyond

Hey, Anthony! Thank you so much for your kind words! Im thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the music. John handles the bass and guitar, and he really brings something special to the strings. It means a lot to know that the clarity and joy in our work resonated with you. Ill definitely pass along your regards to the team. Stay blessed

Thanks, Kay0s! I'm glad you liked it.

You really brought this to life, brother! When I first listened to the sample on my phone speakers, I couldnt quite feel the vibe. But trusting your skills, I told you to send the STEMS, and once I finally heard it on the monitors, I was like, OMG, this is going to be lit. There goes my confession

Hey Kay0s!

It means so much to know youre feeling the joy and love in the music, and it feels great to hear from you once again. John came up with this idea, and we pour a lot of heart into the track, so hearing that it resonates like this is incredible. Ill be sure to pass on your kind words to the rest of the team they'll be thrilled! And what a cool coincidence with your name! Just to clarify, that's John's mom, not his wife, though.

Thank you for all the encouragement, and rest assured weve got more harmonies and guitar magic coming your way!

Much love and gratitude,
Shekari

Hi Aaron,

I am sorry to hear about your struggles with your leg injury. Its inspiring to see how your faith remains strong through it all. I believe music can indeed help us feel closer to one another and, more importantly, to the One who guides us through lifes challenges. Ill continue to do my best to keep sharing messages of hope and faith through my music.

I received your email and will respond shortly. Thank you again for your encouragement and supportit truly helps keep me going

My music journey started in the early 1990s when I joined the local choir in primary school, but I had to quit when my family left the church. In the late 1990s, I discovered Tupac Shakur and fell in love with rap music. I performed his songs at parties and eventually released a rap album, *Dirty Diamond*, with a friend, but we parted ways after some betrayal. During university, personal challenges drove me deeper into rap, where I expressed my anger at life, school, family, and God.

In 2010, something dangerous happened with my music career, and the Lord helped me reconsider my path. I took a break and started focusing on more positive vibes. By 2014, after a significant spiritual encounter, I shifted fully to singing, moving away from rap. Inspired by the Canadian band *Christ Our Life*, I began studying worship music. I also started producing music at home, investing in gear and learning through YouTube tutorials. My music now blends experiences from both the world and the church.

Thanks, Kay0s! I'm truly flattered. Im glad to hear youre enjoying "The Shekari Smile," which is all your invention, haha! Its wonderful to know my music can bring a daily smile. Have an amazing time at Kay0s's day in the Radio Studio!

Thank you so much, my brother! Wishing blessings to you and your family as well! Lets keep creating together!

Hi, Glen! Thank you so much for your kind support! Im glad you love the message of the track. This means a lot to me. Looking forward to sharing more music with you

Hi Savino,

Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate your attention to detail; those synth sounds are definitely some of my favorites too. I might not know much about sound theory, but I trust my ears and embrace a lot of trial and error! I'm always learning and open to gaining more knowledge from people like you.

My vocal experience comes from singing in a small community choir from 1991 to 1996, and its been quite the journey since then. It means a lot to hear that the mix resonated with you. Your support truly inspires me to keep creating. Wishing you all the best!

Take care,
Richard

Absolutely, man! Music truly has the power to unite us all, transcending boundaries and beliefs. Its amazing to see such a supportive community coming together to spread love and positivity. Lets keep singing our truth and sharing that energy - - it really does make a difference! Together, we can be a force for good. Thanks a lot

Absolutely! Looperman really does foster a sense of community and support across all backgrounds and beliefs. Its all about the music. Its wonderful to see everyone coming together to share and appreciate each others work. Thanks for the kind words!

Im glad you enjoyed the acoustic guitar, Anthony, and the overall vibe! John truly is magical with it; hes also skilled with the dobro, which I absolutely love. Theres something special about the warmth and authenticity of live instruments that really connects with listeners. Ill admit, Im more of a digital click-click guy myself, haha! I appreciate your perspective on the contrast between acoustic sounds and digital productionits fascinating how each approach brings its own unique feel to the music. And yes, the lyrics truly reflect deep feelings and a genuine message.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Hello, Kay0s! Thank you for your kind words! Were thrilled we could bring a smile to your morning. Your idea for a rap sounds amazing! Funny enough, Ive been a rapper all my life until around 2016, so I love hearing creative suggestions. That line about Jesus is my man, he always holds my hand definitely has a great vibe. Ill keep doing the Shekari thing, and I really appreciate your support and encouragementit means a lot! Hi 5 right back at you! Keep those imaginative ideas coming!

Absolutely! The 90s and early 2000s were the era when I started making music as a rapper, haha. It was a time filled with unique sounds, blending catchy beats with memorable vocals. Artists like 2Pac, the Lighthouse Family, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Mariah Carey, TLC, and the Backstreet Boys really defined that era.
Thanks for listening, Morash
