Future Sound Awards Shortlist

My dad wasn't in my life. I didn't know what i was missing until I was in a relationship with a woman who had a son. 2 years old. We moved in together and I grew to love that boy as of he was my own son. His laugh, his smile, the way he ran to me when I would come home. Unfortunately me and his mom just couldn't make it work after a few years and I haven't seen him since. This song is inspired by the fear of losing a love like that again. This one's for Michael.

Ghost Ryder - Heaven Knows

A sultry, emotionally intelligent R&B track that captures the spark between two people—and the empowered choice to keep it a fantasy. Smooth, confident female vocals ride a lush, minimalist production that echoes the sexy R&B classics of the late '90s. It’s a story of power, restraint, and knowing exactly what you want—even if it’s only for a moment.

Sword For Hire - Sweetest Illusion

This started as a reddit comment -- something purely technical but finishing it from the first verse really fleshed it out into something cohesive, wistful, and relevant. It is probably the most technical song I have written thus far.

Downfall - Repeat

I had a brain injury and wrote this track, my girlfriend left me a few months after I woke from the coma and that's why some lines regarding relationships seem misplaced, I did record this myself but it never sounded how I heard it in my head

The bto kid - AI gave me a voice

I wrote this from a really raw and honest place, born out of those late nights staring out at the city lights and feeling a deep disconnect from the hustle. It’s about seeing the exhaustion in people’s eyes, including my own, this feeling of being trapped in a system that demands so much of our souls for a promise that feels hollow. It’s a critique of that 9to5 grind where we trade our authenticity for a pat on the back, not realizing the system is rigged from the start.

The core message, and the real meaning of the title, is about redefining the meaning of what "anarchy" can mean. It’s not the change through chaos and destruction you see in movies. It’s a quiet, personal rebellion. It's the anarchy of choosing inner peace over the noise, of finding richness in stillness, of allowing yourself to be truly, vulnerably human in a world that pressures you to be a machine. It's about letting go of what society tells you to want.

Bringing this all together was a challenge and I appreciate the way TwoShot helped me bringing this track through the finish line. I had all the ingredients, but the way I was able to master the track in TwoShot was such a help and the key to adding that final layer of polish, ensuring the track hits with clarity and power without sacrificing the raw, heartfelt core of the message.

Josh m - Feels like her

Just a fun, Country Music Festival type song.  Most of my music is serious or emotional.  This is just something fun that you can two-step to.

In this track I pour out the ache of every artist who has ever shouted into the void.
The verses rise from crowded rooms where songs are traded for algorithms, where dreams of a living wage through music, get buried by a system that is not built for musicians, but for corporate greed. Yet beneath the cynicism there burns a glimpse of defiance: a promise that my voice will not be drowned, my song will not be sold short and it will be heard.

Obscurity can sharpen ambition and technology can help us raise the bar and push the limits of what is possible, forcing audiences to listen, look our way. I sing for those who queue at open‑mics and close laptops at dawn, who still believe that art should crack the concrete and let technology help.

Choose me and you honour more than one composition. You recognise a new breed of artists who use AI not to replace creativity, but to amplify it, bending code to human emotion, refusing surrender. This song distils the urgency of our times, the raw hunger to matter, and the resilience that keeps us writing after the world says no. Let it be the anthem that proves music can still break through, and let its victory signal that authentic stories remain worth rewarding.

Downfall - Repeat
