They shoved me in the basement, where the light don’t glow
Took my desk, my coffee cup, but there’s one thing they don’t know
I’ve got a fiery treasure, bright against the gray
My red stapler’s my salvation, it’s my only getaway

Oh, red stapler, hold me tight
In this cubicle jungle, you’re my light
When the world burns down, I’ll smile and choose
To walk away singin’ the Red Stapler Blues

The boss can take my paycheck, the copier can jam
But my little red stapler says, “Stick it to the man”
It’s more than just an office tool, it’s my sacred fight
A tiny piece of justice in the corporate night

Oh, red stapler, hold me tight
In this cubicle jungle, you’re my light
When the world burns down, I’ll smile and choose
To walk away singin’ the Red Stapler Blues

Oh, red stapler, hold me tight
Shine like fire in the spotlight
Staple the blues, staple 'em true
Red stapler, I believe in you!

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, Earth, a tiny blue planet on the outskirts of the Milky Way, lies silent, its cities in ruins, its people long gone. As a time traveller and musician, I am drawn to this world, to the echoes of a civilisation that reached for the stars but fell short, consumed by an ambition they could neither control nor fully understand.
Through my music, I seek to capture the essence of this lost era, particularly the turbulent times around 2070, when humanity's fate hung in the balance. Each song is a journey through time, a sonic exploration of the apocalyptic moments when everything changed, guided by the haunting melodies and atmospheric soundscapes that paint a vivid picture of a world on the brink of collapse.
As I wander through the abandoned streets and desolate landscapes, I find inspiration in the remnants of human culture - the unfinished symphonies in empty concert halls, the silence that hangs heavy in recording studios where hit songs were once crafted. The music becomes a conduit for the stories that linger in these spaces, tales of dreams pursued and hopes shattered.
In the rhythms of nature reclaiming the cities, I hear a powerful message - that all things must pass, that even the grandest of human achievements are impermanent. This truth resonates through my compositions, serving as a reminder of our own fragility and the need for humility in the face of the universe's vast mysteries.
Each track  is a warning, a cautionary tale wrapped in sound and emotion. They speak of the paths we may tread if we are not vigilant, the dreams that may crumble if we are not wise. Through music, I forge a connection that transcends time and space, inviting listeners to explore the echoes of a vanished world and heed the lessons hidden within.
Join me on this sonic odyssey through the remnants of Earth's final days, a journey that will leave you questioning our place in the cosmos and the legacy we leave behind. Let the music be your guide as we navigate the ruins of a civilisation that dared to dream big but ultimately succumbed to its own hubris - a fate we must strive to avoid as we venture forth into the unknown.

I am a OneWomanBand, playing guitar, drums and singing.  My signature sound is acoustic-driven songs layered with rich three- and four-part harmonies. I move between genres depending on the mood of each song, but I always stay true to what feels honest. I’m a throwback rocker-hippie soul who writes straight from the heart — vulnerable, real, and unfiltered.

I spent years performing in Las Vegas and the San Francisco Bay Area, covering artists like Sammy Hagar, The Pretenders, Fleetwood Mac, Ozzy Osbourne, Tower of Power, Sting, Tom Petty, Heart, Sheryl Crowe, Steely Dan, and RHCP. After a long break to focus on family, life brought me to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. Surrounded by forest, ocean, and the distant silhouette of Vancouver Island, I found a peace I had never known. I bought myself a Johnny Cash Martin guitar and started recording covers that helped me heal.

That process reopened a creative door I thought had closed. My poetry and life stories turned into songs, and over the next year and a half I wrote what became my first two albums and two EPs:

• Ghosted: What a Long Estranged Trip It’s Been - Album
A raw journey through estrangement, discovery, and recovery.

• The Nature of Healing - EP
A reflection on growth, resilience, and the restorative power of the natural world.

• Jules Goes Live - EP
Recorded at a private event on the Olympic Peninsula. Just me, a guitar, an amp, a microphone, a MacBook Pro, and the joy of being welcomed with open arms. Someday I’d love to bring drums to the stage — and maybe even live out my dream of playing “By the Way” next to Chad Smith and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

• Life's Lessons - Album
Songs about lessons I've learned, mostly the hard way, as we humans do.  Pushing boundaries, raising a little hell, standing up for myself, listening to the universe, are a few of the lessons I wrote about.  Multiple genres and vibes, just like life.

I record everything myself in GarageBand: singing every harmony, playing acoustic rhythm guitar, V-Drums, and percussion. I use stem tracks wherever I want extra instrumentation. This is a true DIY process — heartfelt, handmade, and on a shoestring budget — but I’m learning and improving with every track. I master my songs with eMastered and score them with Chord.ai. Someday I’d love to see these songs reimagined in a studio or interpreted by another artist with a wider reach.

When I perform live, I use a Roland Cube EX amp, my Johnny Cash Martin guitar, a Shure mic and in-ears, and a MacBook Pro running through a Scarlett Solo for my backing tracks. Technology is what makes this OneWomanBand journey possible, and I’m deeply grateful for it.

To Brooklynn, Rylie, and Lukas — you are forever in my heart. This music is the legacy of love I leave for you. I used to sing silly songs with you every chance I got. Since we’ve been kept apart since 2019, writing and performing is how I manage that loss. I will never stop hoping to see you again.

Thanks for listening.
Peace. 🌿
