‘RAPTURE: noun. a feeling of intense bliss’

RAPTURE

'Life We Made' is a song I wrote and sang on our wedding day, dedicated to the person that changed my life for the better. It's been a long time in the making but it's finally here. I wanted to capture an emotional yet uplifting sound with the production, and I think it turned out pretty great! I hope you enjoy this one.

Life We Made

Shine

Contemplative, moody and sultry. This self produced song channels the 2000's era of RnB, and is about totally falling for someone emotionally and physically. Immediately you hear the nostalgic influence from the acoustic guitar accompanied by the piano. But it isn't until the beat comes in verse 2 where the feeling is intensified.

Linger

What's Up Guys!

Here's an original tune I wrote and produced a while ago. My EP is releasing towards the end of the year sometime so I'll keep you guys posted!

Thanks for the support you guys :)

Love y'all

Lyrics
Isn't it about time
that you get what you deserve
A woman's got a right to know
If her man's putting her first

You ask him but you don't know
Girl you ain't secure
I hate to be the one to break the news
he ain't in love with you

So when you hit the town
Does he hold your hand make you feel like youre the one
And when you're all alone
Does he give you what you're asking for

Cause I really don't see the difference
you might as well pretend like you don't exist and
He won't even care at all

What I'd do
To make it right, cause he don't make time
Girl that's something you should know
You deserve more, much more
And I know you think that you
Got a good man, he understands
All your wants and needs but
I know you ain't getting what you deserve

Can you tell me one time
Why this is so hard to see
Ignoring all the damn signs
And he won't let you leave yeah

He's acting a fool
and no it ain't cool
Cause he know that you'll come running back
don't do it babe don't don't do it babe

So when you hit the town
Does he hold your hand make you feel like youre the one
And when you're all alone
Does he give you what you're asking for

Cause I really don't see the difference
you might as well pretend like you don't exist and
He won't even care at all

What I'd do
To make it right, cause he don't make time
Girl that's something you should know
You deserve more, much more
And I know you think that you
Got a good man, he understands
All your wants and needs but
I know you ain't getting what you deserve

I wanna give you what you deserve
I wanna give you what you deserve
Let me give you what you deserve
I wanna give it to you baby

Here it is guys, from me to you, ’Silver’.

I wrote and produced this track for IN MY ELEMENT (EP), dropping very soon!

It’s a reminder for not only me but for anyone listening that although saying goodbye is a bitter pill to swallow, it allows for the beginning of something entirely new.

Thanks everyone for the continual support over the years.
Please, feel free to share it and spread the message.

Big shout to Rachel Aracan for shooting the video and to Eric Fortaleza for laying down the bass.

Stay tuned for the entire release of my EP :)

Clarity

prod. by Glenn Lumanta

Let's get out of the way
Can we give it a try
I'll take you to some other place
Get outta your mind
We'll be gone for a while
I'm hookin it up
You said you want freedom
You know you got it when you want it
When you're with me
Ain't it so liberating
Ant it's yours for the taking

Just give me your hand
And clutch it mine
Steady I hope you're ready
Can you give me a sign

Put your problems aside
At least for a night
I know it's easier to say
but I'm making plans for you to stay
So let's go for a ride
And you can decide
I'll make it easy
You know that I'll make it easy

Let's run free
You know that you wanna run free
Let's run free
Together we're gonna run free

Say what you wanna say
You can if you want to 
(I want you to say what's on your mind)
And don't keep it hidden away
Cause I'm willing ti find you

Put your problems aside
At least for a night
I know it's easier to say
but I'm making plans for you to stay
So let's go for a ride
And you can decide
I'll make it easy
You know that I'll make it easy

Let's run free
You know that you wanna run free
Let's run free
Together we're gonna run free

RUN FREE

Produced by Glenn Lumanta

i feel the gravity
it’s all around controlling me
i can’t get off the ground
nothings even holding me down
I just wanna lift off into the clouds
I wanna soar the night sky 
see the stars

Be right where you are
you are you are
Be right where you are 
you are 
you are

Verse 1

Im getting so tired
My ego my pride
they get so loud sometimes

I’m dying to be heard
bursting through every word
ain’t hard to visualise

see I’m trying 
(I’m trying)
It gets hard sometimes but damn you know I’m trying
to make it off the ground
I’m chasing
And I’ll know I’ll never catch you
But I keep chasing
You know it never ends

NAK

Wake up…  smell the coffee and sniff the roses
You oversleep for just a second you might miss the moment
(God) We gotta speak about a pressing issue
But never thought I’d be the one press the issue

In all Your infinite wisdom I’m just trying to get a grip
On why the wicked make a killing off the dream within you
I rip my heart over- pouring off blood, sweat, sinew
“Drip, drip, drip,” dripping all I got up into

There’s nothing pretty ‘bout sitting among the infantry
Of battered, bitter rappers getting crippled by the industry
Who validate their failure with a “crutch” under arm
(Like) “Too ahead of my time; staying true to the art.”  I’m getting lit

Until you “hit your 30’s hard” like a messy divorce
But never left “domestic” ports to send you on tour
I’m “getting sore” from the “repetition:” I’m “hoisting iron”
While these mumble “minors getting Gold” like a 49’er

Some people speak in tongues.  Others get rejoicing
But I think I’m equipped with the gift of disappointment
But when gravity sinking me with a grip of noise a
Still small voice keep me buoyant reminding me that:

“All that matters is I know who you are
all that matters is I know who you are.”
If God made the stars and He call em’ out by name
Then He named one “NAK…” (Glenn Lumanta) go and wish upon us

LIFT OFF

Prototype

Dedicated to one of my favourite cities in the world

Tokyo Fever (Wanderlust)

He was on the other side of town
Past the picket fences and across the pastured greens
All of his secrets bursting at the seams

And in the air the distant church bells ring
A congregation sings and she
She's wearing white
And he's hurting all the while

He takes in the summer breeze
It reminds him of the year before
Suddenly puts him at ease
And it all comes rushing back once more

Chorus
Meet me here
When summer comes around
Don't leave me waiting
Meet me here
When the sun goes down
Her words were echoing in his mind
Only to find
She isn't there

He remembers they'd chase the rolling hills
You think you'll live forever when you're young
And so naive
Til you learn things are never what they seem

They never dreamed to ever part
He knew one day he'd say his vows and take her heart
But there was more than she let on
She set a time and place to tell it all
And she said

Chorus
Meet me here
When summer comes around
Don't leave me waiting
Meet me here
When the sun goes down
Her words were echoing in his mind
Only to find
She isn't there

She thought she'd make it to the summer
She'd thought she'd see another fall
Oh how I wish this story ended
With her and the boy
On the other side of town

And in the air the distant church bell rings
A choir of angels sing
And they
They lay her down
Six feet underground

When Summer Comes Around

Good Life
