The song earned him numerous accolades including a Radio Music Award and an Indie Music Channel Award, as well as the Man-Up Award for his charity work.

Here, Rahn answers his Essential 8 and talks inspiration, founding They Can't Talk, But We Can, and much more. Did you have a musical mentor? Yes. My music mentor was my family Gospel called The Family Voice of West Jupiter. My mom Johnnie Mae Hatcher, Grandad Martin Hogg Sr., (rip) uncle Martin Hogg Jr., Aunt Phobia Williams, Grandma Willie Mae Hogg (rip)and my Aunt Thelma Freeman (rip) I grew up with them, and they were my mentors. Outside of my family, my mentor was James Cisco, the kick boxing Champion. Where do you draw inspiration from when writing? I get all my inspiration from within. I listen to the voice inside of me and the energy moves me to write. When/where do you do your best writing? I do my best writing during meditation. When I'm calm seeking that quiet still moment that's when I hear the words from within. What's the best advice you have ever gotten from another musician? The best advice was to keep reaching people, no matter what happens in your life, because that's healing for you. What's your favorite food on the road?
