Our genre is Rock and Pop with influences from other music styles.

Come out of the Ky Teavon bringing that new Sound from the 270.

One man. One guitar. Infinite riffs. No gigs, no hype—just pure warfare.

Riftborn forges sound from fracture — a heavy, cinematic blend of emotion and elemental force.
With riffs that feel carved from stone and atmospheres that burn like horizon fire, the project balances raw weight with dreamlike depth.
Each track channels tension, transformation, and the beauty of collapse — where destruction becomes creation.

"Born through fracture, breathing through fire."

Heavy enough to shake the dust off your speakers, honest enough to keep it real.

First, I would like to say thank you for reading this. That means that you liked my songs enough to see what I’m about. That means a lot to me.
I’m a working man and a family man. The years digging ditches and breaking my back to put food on the table, has given me enough ammo to write a song or two. I like to write songs about real life with all of its struggles, beauty and grit…

In this digital age of perfect music I'm trying to leave the human imperfections in the tracks. Most parts are done straight through with no splices. A missed note or chord here or there, bit out of time...trying to keep it raw. Maybe I go too far sometimes?

I don't play games on SoundCloud. If I like your music ill like it and follow you. I wont unfollow you even if you don't follow me back!  If you do I'll be delighted though!

Old school recording on 8-track. no auto-tune thank you for listening, no better time than the present to put yourself in the world. and share your music, 
as AI starts to weave into creating 
wanted to get my voice out there before all we have is AI generated music
All photos on page are taken by me as well
thanks for listening
