While talking to the media, “After two months of working on it and hiring musicians and music producers at my own expense, I have come up with three different versions of the anthem for the PCB to choose from.

After one of them was completed and planned to be released, PCB informed me that I could not proceed with the anthem for reasons that I would not like to disclose at this time.
