"For the past two years I've competed in the Unsigned Only competition. Throughout that timeframe I've received some rejections, but I've placed in the semi-finals and finals from time to time. This year I decided to give it a shot one final time."  "My single 'Dirty Heart' was a perfect selection for the competition due to it's unique style. After months of waiting I received an email stating I won first place in the Christian category."

"Out of thousands of submissions, 'Dirty Heart' made the cut. It's encouraging to know that even industry professionals see the talent behind your work." Aaron continued. "All my life I've been told I have potential to make it in this industry. This accolade further cements that statement."
