DJ Nitti has been a huge fan of Arik. The message of the song also resonates with him because of his cousin, who has autism.

He said, “It’s actually very close to my heart to be able to work on music, especially with someone with a disability. And, to treat everyone equally. It’s a message that is right up my alley, and it means a lot to him to sing about it. So, I wanted to help him get his message out.”

Congratulations, Arik! It’s just the beginning of your career and you’re already inspiring millions of people. We wish you all the best.
