Lyin’ Eyes is a song built around a truth I’ve believed my whole life: eyes don’t lie. They say everything a person won’t. They tell on you when your mouth stays quiet, when you’re pretending you’ve moved on, when your heart is still tied to something you won’t admit out loud.

I wrote this song about the games we play with ourselves, the fake confidence, the “I’m fine,” the late-night drinks pretending they’re not about someone. It’s about two people lying in the same way, hiding behind their own stories, trying to fool everybody when their eyes are giving the whole thing away.

This one’s about denial you can hear in a voice but see clearer in a stare. It’s about pretending you’re over someone while the whiskey in your glass keeps proving otherwise. And it’s about watching someone swear they’re honest, even when their eyes are telling every truth they’re scared to say.

Lyin’ Eyes is that tangled place between pride and heartbreak, where you don’t want to admit you still care, and they don’t want to admit they ever did.

Lyin Eyes

There is a level of vulnerability here.  All of my songs are written entirely by me - every lyric, melody, chord, and rhythm. The only thing that isn’t me is the voice in the recordings. Until I can, this will have to do. 

I make music the same way I approach everything in life: with intention, curiosity, and a drive to keep learning. After all, I’m just here getting stuff out of my head and off my heart.

This space is where I experiment, explore new sounds, and share what inspires me. If you’re here, I hope you find something that connects, something that hits at the right moment, or simply something that makes your day a little better. Thanks for listening and being part of the journey.
