Song Production Information
DKC Crew
"The song Inspiration came in stages for me. Originally composed as an entirely different song, I had to re-write the lyrics to match the build about half way through composition. The song changed completely but still kept the same base idea and the word 'Inspiration'. Once I got a structure and vocals I felt good about I added tons of harmonies to the voice and had fun arranging the music."
