Alias possesses a unique skill set and can capably make the listener reflect on tracks like "Higher," or get any crowd moving with the dance-infused "Let's Go." Alias quotes, "just because I have been blessed with the opportunity to be a Kingdom builder, I by no means want anyone to get it twisted, I am a sinner and a human that desperately needs the loving touch of our graceful God."
