Uniforms - Lisa Richard

It's funny how life connects you with people at the right place and the right time, when you least expect it.
This ECMAs looked a lot different for me than every one I've been in the past and I'm so glad to have been able to a small part of 's 2026 ECMA weekend.
Is it weird to dedicate a video of a performance to the performer and writer of a song? Cause honestly, Lisa has been heaven sent and she deserves to know how much her story, positivity and belief in me helped push me out of my comfort zone and give me all the reminders I needed as I continue to ride this seemingly endless healing journey.
If you have ever been given a hand by people in uniforms, send this to the ones who've helped you see the other side, one way or another.
PS: "Uniforms" is available on all streaming platforms!
