“Message on Read” is a raw, unfiltered expression of frustration and emotional vulnerability in the age of instant communication. The song captures that aching feeling of being ignored — when your phone lights up but the person you’re reaching out to doesn’t respond. Every line drips with tension, from the gnawing anticipation of “Are you there?” to the crushing silence that follows.

The pre-chorus emphasizes the suffocating weight of unspoken words and unanswered messages, while the chorus hits like a punch, summing up the anger, hurt, and disappointment of being left on read. Verse 2 intensifies the emotional impact, portraying each passing minute as a torment and the quiet as louder than a scream.

The bridge reveals self-reflection and finality, as the narrator acknowledges their own worth and decides to move on, refusing to be trapped by someone else’s silence. Overall, the song is a powerful anthem for anyone who’s felt ignored, dismissed, or ghosted — a cathartic release of frustration, heartbreak, and ultimate self-empowerment.

My Music, My Story

Goal: To write 1,000 songs inspired by everything I see and hear over the course of a full year.
Music never leaves my head — or my phone. I can create a song about almost anything, anytime.

My Playlists:
These feature my newest creations, covering a mix of genres. I push myself across all styles, though most of my tracks lean toward dance and pop. Still, I’ve always had a deep love for country music — and nothing moves me like a fast violin over a driving beat.

Every one of my songs tells a story.
I’m a product of the 1990s — raised on After Dark and Colosseum, where raw mic energy ruled the night. There’s something about those loud voices and echoing bars that still sends shivers down my spine.

After years of creating and refining music as a way to heal, I’ve decided it’s time to step back and let you take the sound and make it yours.

Massive thanks to everyone who’s listened, shared, and connected.
I never mean to upset anyone with the sad songs — I just sing what I feel and what I see.

Check out the playlist for my best tracks: handpicked, heartfelt, and real — funny, silly, sad, and happy all mixed together.
I love what I do, and I hope you’ve enjoyed experiencing my life through my songs.

Much love and respect to all of you — and big thanks again!
