The best moment of his life was probably the day he realized that he was enough and didn't have to conform and sound like everyone else. It felt liberating to hear him say that. To be your authentic self in a world that's constantly telling you who and what to be is a beautiful thing. God bless you Giveon 🙏

[@AshleeElease]

This rang bells for me too ,as a singer I love how's he's giving room for singers with a different range.
