Ted Chubb has stated, “I am in a phase in my life where I am trying to connect with
and develop relationships through the music around the globe, anywhere there are
people that can benefit from the positive and universal power of the music. In a
time where so much of the world is trying to divide us from one another, I believe
this is of the highest importance." Ted is excited to release a newly recorded album
