On the day I turned 30, I decided I didn’t just want to celebrate a birthday — I wanted to make a statement. That’s why I dropped the biggest song of my career, Dope Fiend.

This track is everything I’ve been building toward: a chaotic mix of alternative rock and rap, driven by shredding guitars and raw energy, but also wrapped in a surreal, modern edge that feels like the future of alt music. Think heavy riffs colliding with hypnotic grooves — something that feels nostalgic and brand new at the same time.

But what really makes this song stand apart is that it marks my first industry feature — Darkrose, a major artist who I’ve respected for years and now had the honor of collaborating with. Chalk that up also with a verse from Crimson REd and we in there!! — on my 30th birthday, no less — making this release more than just another track. It’s a milestone.

Dope Fiend is reckless, addictive, and unapologetically loud. It’s the kind of song that doesn’t fit neatly into playlists, because it wasn’t made to. It was made to cut through the noise. This is the record that defines where I’ve been, and where I’m going next.

So here’s to 30 years alive, and a brand-new chapter starting with the loudest, most unapologetic song I’ve ever made. Welcome to Dope Fiend.

“Summer” is a song that captures the golden glow of memories you never want to let go. It’s about those endless days and sleepless nights when the world felt lighter, friendships felt unbreakable, and love seemed to live in the air. This track is a reminder of the summers you’ve lived — the laughter, the freedom, the bittersweet moments that still play like a movie in your mind. Every note carries the warmth of the sun and the feeling of time standing still, inviting you to relive your own summer story.

Lyrics - 

I see sun rise through the mountains 
It hints me we should go out 

I can’t wait 
See the beach 
When sun hits
Do you know that feel 
Close your eyes 
Feel the vibe
Do not bother 
Be happy with a smile 

Am I dreaming, you know feeling ohh oh ohh 

I see sun rise through the mountains 
It hints me we should go out 
You and I have no regrets 
we live the life, feel so high

Am I dreaming, you know feeling ohh oh ohh 
Am I dreaming, you know feeling ohh oh ohh 

I see sun rise through the mountains 
It hints me we should go out 
You and I have no regrets 
we live the life, feel so high

[Verse 1]
Half a step from where I stood
Said I might, never said I would
Traced your name across the glass
Watched the moment slowly pass

[Pre-Chorus]
Too much doubt, too little to say
You moved on while I looked away

[Chorus]
Took the long way from maybe
Drew a line, then looked away
Held my breath while you were waiting
Now there’s nothing left to say
You were steady, I was slow
Now I walk this road alone

[Verse 2]
Called your name, then changed my mind
Hoped you’d read between the lines
Told myself it’s not too late
But fear will always hesitate

[Pre-Chorus]
Held back words I thought you’d understand
Now they’re ashes in my hands
[Chorus]
Took the long way from maybe
Let it drift, then walked away
Built a wall instead of meaning
Now there’s nothing I can say
You were ready, I said no
Now I walk this road alone

[Bridge]
Built a home on ifs and when
Closed the door, then asked again
Watched you leave without a sound
Now I’m stuck on this battleground

[Final Chorus]
Took the long way from maybe
Truth was there, I looked away
Spoke too soft and far too slowly
Now there’s nothing left to say
You were sure, and I was slow
Now I walk this road alone

[Outro]
The signs were clear, I looked away
Now it’s just me and yesterday

Long Way From Maybe
