"A Nation at the Crossroads, A Battle for Its Soul"
The world is shifting, and the line between democracy and authoritarian rule is razor-thin. The Strongman’s Shadow is a fearless, raw album that calls out the betrayal of America’s core principles. This collection of anthems rips apart the lies, exposing the dark deals, the abandonment of allies, and the slow, methodical rise of a new world order where power is traded for silence. 

"Trump isn’t just siding with dictators—he’s actively reshaping America to mirror them." – Steve Schmidt 

"This isn’t about red or blue. This is about standing up when it matters most." – Barking Justice Music

This is the sound of defiance, of voices rising when the halls of power fall silent. Will we fight? Or will we kneel?

The Strongman’s Shadow

I wrote this song in English, French, German, Norwegian, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Suomi ( Finnish language). I dedicated this song  to all those standing up against adversity and supporting each other in tough times. Whether it's in the face of economic struggles, or any battle that divides us, this song is for the resilient and the united.
This track is a tribute to the strength found in community, the power of people who refuse to break, and the unstoppable force of solidarity.

Solidarity

"You Got It" is a high-energy rock’n’roll anthem with attitude, swagger, and irresistible groove. Driven by gritty guitars, a pounding beat, and a hook that sticks like glue, the song celebrates confidence, seduction, and the thrill of knowing your power. With a touch of burlesque flair and vintage rockabilly vibes, it channels the spirit of leather jackets, neon lights, and late-night shows. It’s cheeky, bold, and made to be played loud — whether you’re on the dance floor or speeding down the highway. This is rock’n’roll with lipstick, stilettos, and fire in its soul.
