A while ago I was asked to write a verse and chorus about someone's mum who died from cancer, so I put myself in that persons shoes and wrote the song as if it was from their perspective and what it must have felt like for them around the time before she passed. A kind of pain that I can't even fully imagine, though I tried my best to... 'Thank You Mum' is the result.

Thank You Mum

‘Sane’ is an intricate description of the love that I have for musical expression.
It is not only a reference to every song I have ever written but also a reference to every song I have yet to write.
Throughout the piece, I talk to my own music as if it has a life of its own, referring to it in the second person as ‘you’, I believe this gives people an idea of just how significant it is to me… When I think of this track, I envision someone explaining to a friend of theirs how grateful they are to them for always being there to depend on.

Blow You Away

A song that describes the journey of becoming self-aware.

Self-Aware

Seeing both sides of a person, positive and negative... Being blinded by the light, until you finally see the darkness.

Heaven & Hell

The reason I chose the alias 'Afterlife' is because before I picked up that pen and wrote my first song at the age of 14, I didn't have any real prospects or actual goals to pursue in life. All I had was low self-esteem and a tonne of insecurities from being a prime target of bullying at school, boo-hoo right? I'm not alone in that regard, so many kids had it worse, mainly because they didn't have the same outlet that I eventually discovered. Putting my pain down on paper and explaining how it made me feel was the best therapy I've ever had, it made me realize I was worth something, regardless of what anyone said. I was never truly alive before I picked up that pen, that's why I created a new life entirely, an afterlife, a 'Life Of Rhyme'.

Life Of Rhyme

The selfishness of society is often mind-blowing, this song emphasizes the extreme indifference we have towards those who have so little.

'Serenity' describes the feeling of becoming one with nature and letting the outer world help mold your inner peace.

Music is my key to happiness... At a young age I fell in love with the art of storytelling, and began expressing myself through Rhythm and Poetry. Since then I have evolved my style to blend more melodic pieces into my craft and a whole new world has opened up once again.

On a sidenote, if there's anyone in Melbourne who can help me out with beats, get in contact.
