Name: PRETTY WHEN SHE CRIES by Jericho Records USA
Duration: 3 min 39 s
Description: A vulnerable pop ballad about the pressure to make heartbreak look beautiful. Soft piano and gentle strings carry an emotional vocal performance about pain, identity, and rising above expectations.

I recorded and mixed this cover of classic Green Day's song "Boulevard of broken dreams" in my home studio using budget equipment.
 I think you can do good sounding records from home too.

Bad Things

Poolside

searching, dreaming, hoping, longing... our human emotional repertoire provides the most wonderful content for music – which might be the collective term for stories written by our hearts and whose narration always follows a special heartbeat. 

so, there's a song I wrote years ago with lyrics already in 'my english', when our sons became teenagers, and I remembered my own emotional world at that age. full of magnificent melancholy and powerful heartbreak. what a privilege it is to be able to focus on such problems and pains in your youth, instead of being crushed by a futureless reality. 

as always, there was only one version of this song for years, with the vocal melody played on the guitar. and as always too, it wasn't that easy to drill the template into my AI persona in such a way that the feelings still came across.

Trance-like walking 
Faint lullaby
Naming the stars 
From an endless sky

But I can't find 
The one in my mind

I just imagined 
You would be here 
Ghostly companion
As far as near

Although I know 
It won't be so

I will always wait 
For you 
Always dreaming you’ll 
Come true 
One night
One night

Dreams to an unknown
Somewhere beyond
Breathing your air’s
All that I want

I will always wait 
For you 
Always dreaming you’ll 
Come true 
One night
One night
It might be right

I will
Wait
My fate
Wait
No Fade
Wait
For who?

Trance-like Walking

A blistering, riff-heavy southern rock track built for fast driving and loud speakers. Raw energy, roaring guitars, and unapologetic outlaw attitude.

The Devil’s Mile

GRIT & GASOLINE

A vulnerable pop ballad about the pressure to make heartbreak look beautiful. Soft piano and gentle strings carry an emotional vocal performance about pain, identity, and rising above expectations.

Jericho Records USA – The Story Behind the Sound

Welcome to Jericho Records USA.
This isn’t a traditional label — it’s the archive of a lifetime spent writing, recording, experimenting, breaking rules, and rebuilding myself through music.

The original Jericho Records was an independent label my father started in the 1950s. What you’re hearing here is something new — my continuation of that legacy, shaped by the times, the tools, and the life I’ve lived.

I grew up in a musical home. My father ran the church music ministry, my mother played piano, and I was singing before I could read. Drums at 5. Guitar at 7. Bass. Saxophone. Piano. Songwriting became the way I made sense of the world, and I’ve written close to a thousand songs — with thousands more to come. I later graduated from Full Sail University with a degree in Audio Production, blending old-school recording with modern technology.

You’ll notice the sounds here are diverse. That’s intentional.
I create under different artist names, different styles, different worlds — but the voice behind all of it is mine.

And to be fully transparent:

• Some tracks are traditional studio recordings — real drums, real guitars, real vocals, all performed by me.
• Some tracks blend live instruments, VSTs, and AI-assisted production.
• Some began as my raw guitar or vocal recording and were “covered” or re-interpreted through AI tools.
• Some are fully AI-generated compositions created from my prompts.
• But every song — no matter the method — was written by me and comes from real experiences, real chapters of my life.

AI, to me, is another instrument — another creative partner.
It doesn’t replace my voice or my story; it helps me bring more of it into the world.

Over the years I’ve worked with incredible people, including Dez Dickerson (Prince & The Revolution) and Tim Gaines (Stryper), and I’ve shared stages with bands like Drivin’ N’ Cryin, Corey Taylor, Saving Abel, Hinder, and Avenged Sevenfold. But the journey didn’t end there — it evolved.

Jericho Records USA is where all those chapters live at once:
the human hands, the digital experiments, the scars, the healing, the imagination, and the divine spark that keeps me creating.

If you’re here, I hope you find something that resonates — something that reminds you that music, in any form, is a lifeline.

— Jericho
