He said, “Y’all could see how I got from there to here to Tiny Desk. I used to stand on a tiny porch, but if you stay with your dreams and stand on your business, you could get anywhere.”
He performed “Standing Ovation,” “Air Forces,” “Bottom of the Map” and more, with the amazing band providing all the sounds for his amazing discography.
He continued, “‘Standing Ovation’ was something special to me because when I walked on that stage for the first time and got recognized for something I love, I couldn’t believe God was so good coming from my circumstances. And to see people applauding me for what I had been through meant the world, and that’s why I kept going and why I’m here today.”
He added, “This has been Tiny Desk, this has been my story… Y’all keep this positivity going.”
