January 11th 2007-Destineak (Drumattic & Christina Sing) join Team in Training to prepare for The Bank of Montreal Marathon on May 6th 2007 for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. In our constant quest for ourselves, sometimes the answer is found in others. Music is a business in which it is hard to look up and really see what's going on around you, at least that's the case for me when I am in my writing and recording mode. Ironically, without being connected to the world, it is hard to write anything that any one will truly feel. Performance has always been a joy for me, and if I can reach out in this medium as well to affect the world for the better, than I am a happy cat.
