“I’ve reached a point where I can no longer keep silent about the pain I’ve endured. For years, I’ve been made to feel like I am less, despite spending days and nights toiling away to create a safe life for people. I cancelled every dream of mine, only to find myself being spoken down to and questioned about what I’ve ever done. I have spent my blood, sweat, and tears to create each of the 126 melodies that have been released over the last decade,” Amaal wrote in his post.
