Roade of Music is a collection of instrumental pieces written across my life, beginning around 2002–2003 and continuing through different seasons of growth, healing, and change.

These songs exist because instrumental music is simply a different way of processing emotion — one that doesn’t require explanation, structure, or resolution. When emotions don’t need to be named or organized, music allows you to feel freely, without the pressure of making everything make sense.

Through these pieces, I’ve processed love, hope, gratitude, and peace, alongside loss, grief, longing, exhaustion, reflection, and the quiet moments when rest was needed most. Instrumentals create space — space to sit with emotions in their raw form, to move through them gently, and to let meaning emerge naturally through sound rather than language.

Roade of Music begins with an introduction to my musical journey, and each piece reflects emotions I was processing at different points in my life. The tracks are not chronological. Instead, they are emotional spaces you can enter in any order.

This album is not meant to be rushed. You’re invited to pick the space you need, stay as long as you want, and let the music hold whatever you’re carrying.

Introduction

🎶✨ Hi everyone!

I’m not a singer — I’m a composer and lyricist. My passion is writing melodies, crafting lyrics, and shaping the structure of songs — laying the foundation for how each one should feel and sound. From there, I work with talented singers and producers to bring the vision to life.

For me, music isn’t just sound — it’s a way to capture the moments, stories, and emotions that mark my journey through life. Each song is a snapshot, a memory, a piece of the path I’ve walked — and sometimes the paths of others whose lives have crossed mine.

If you’re a singer or producer who would like to work with me, feel free to DM me. I also write for other artists as well.

Thank you for being here and sharing in this journey with me. More music to come 🎶💫
