This one is personal. I’ve lived with depression and suicidal thoughts most of my life. I’ve stayed — through nights I thought I wouldn’t, through scars and silence. But I’ve lost too many friends who didn’t.

I Stayed, I Wish You Had Too is a country/metal hybrid I wrote out of grief, anger, and love. It’s for the ones who couldn’t find a reason to stay, and for the ones still fighting to.

If you’re in that place: reach out. Call someone. In the U.S., dial 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Wherever you are, find your local hotline or talk to someone you trust. You don’t have to go alone.

I Stayed, I Wish You Had Too

I don’t make music to be famous. I make it so no one feels as alone as I did.

For 40 years I’ve carried scars that never seemed to heal. My songs are pieces of that fight—pain, survival, and the long walk through fire. Every beat, every lyric, is a hand reaching back for the ones still trapped in the dark.

I’m AIBRY. A songwriter, a builder, a survivor. My music isn’t polished for the charts—it’s raw, unmasked, and honest. If it keeps even one person breathing through the night, then it’s done its job.
