What Other people like you have been saying about this Album:

Hi Elijah.
I was listening to the radio on KPAC (University of the Pacific), and I heard some of your songs. They mentioned that you had a website, and I searched for it, and found it.
We liked your music so much that someone on my floor in my dorm went out and bought your album.
I just wanted to know, you have such a creative voice, are you going to add some rap tracks to your next album?
One more question. I'm listening to "i wont marry you", and I was just wondering if you played the saxophone solos. It sounds great!
thanks,

Hey Elijah -
My friends and I made a trip to Tower Records and picked up "Let Me Sanctify You" tonight. I must tell you, it is living up to our expectations. This disc is amazing genius.
Please keep me posted on your happenings. We will be
sure to play some of your songs on our radio show this
upcoming week. If you aren't too busy, it would be
nice if we could maybe call you on this monday or
another one so you could be on the radio show, and
promote your music. Please get back to me.

Thanks
-Will
