Animal empathy and being overweight issues are the major key factors when it comes to Hodges’ vegan lifestyle. The heaviest he has been was a hefty 312 pounds, now he weighs in at 180 pounds. With that significant amount of weight loss, Hodges is able to engage with the audience more at his shows and he doesn’t get tired as fast as he once did. - India Brown
The storytelling in this project is what really caught my ears from start to finish. Each track had its own emotion and his delivery was not the same in every song, which is something every artist should strive for. Long story short, just give Live from the Matrix a listen. - India Brown
