“I am thoroughly pleased with Voice in the Light as it was composed and performed by Amaran’s Plight. It’s been a dream come true to work with musicians of this caliber and a collaboration of this magnitude. The production and musicianship on this piece is outstanding which only made the final product even more special. I think any music fan can appreciate Voice in the Light and its unique and inspiring story. I am grateful for the friends and mentorship I was privileged to during the process of writing and completing Voice in the Light.
