This song belongs in a movie. It’s about a young sailor who meets a girl from a world far from his. This was the relationship that formed me artistically. It is meeting the right person at the right time to get you to where you are today.

"Highway to You" is a heart-racing country-pop anthem about chasing love across time, distance, and memory. With vivid imagery of windshield sunsets, gas station stops, and emotional detours, the song captures the relentless drive to reconnect with someone who once felt like home. It's a journey of longing, reflection, and raw devotion—set to a backdrop of roaring engines and aching melodies.

Keep On Rolling

This song is my personal victory cry. It’s about surviving everything meant to break me, turning pain into power, and realizing the universe itself celebrates that strength. Every scar is proof that I made it — and every beat in this song is me saying, I’m still here… and I’m shining brighter than ever.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Cracked pavement under my feet
Neon buzzing a lullaby
Another day I cheat defeat
Yeah I survive I survive

[Prechorus]
They said I wouldn't make it
They said I'd fall apart
But I'm still here still taking
Taking back my heart

[Chorus]
And the universe claps for me
Yeah the whole damn cosmos sings
A stardust symphony
For the joy that living brings

[Verse 2]
Scars like glitter on my skin
Every tear a diamond bright
The battles that I always win
Burning ever so bright

[Prechorus]
They tried to bury my soul
They tried to dim my light
But I broke free lost control
And stepped into the light

[Chorus]
And the universe claps for me
Yeah the whole damn cosmos sings
A stardust symphony
For the joy that living brings
Describe what a good cover photo would look like for the song above

Stardust Symphony

“The Price of Silence (The Fall of Diddy, Pt. II)” is my rawest protest yet — a song born from outrage and heartbreak. It’s written from the voices of the women whose pain was ignored, whose stories were buried beneath money, fame, and power. After seeing Sean “Diddy” Combs receive such a light sentence for unthinkable crimes, I felt this wave of fury and helplessness — not just for his victims, but for every survivor who’s ever been silenced by wealth or influence. 

This song is their collective scream — dark, defiant, and drenched in truth. It calls out the injustice that lets the rich walk free while the broken are left to carry the weight forever. Every lyric is a confrontation, every note is a reckoning. It’s not about revenge — it’s about finally being heard. This isn’t just a continuation of The Fall of Diddy…( 
https://on.soundcloud.com/SyCDLZ3IAOdc7zxr1D ) it’s the uprising that follows the silence.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
We were children, we were dreams in chains
Used for power, sold for fame
They said “be quiet,” they said “smile wide”
While Diddy’s empire bled us inside 

[Pre-Chorus]
You called it luxury, we called it pain
Your paradise was built on shame 

[Chorus]
How many cries went unheard through your halls?
How many tears stained those golden walls?
You'll walk out free while our lives still crawl
Where’s the justice when money buys it all? 

[Verse 2]
He built his name on the backs of the weak
A monster hiding behind the sleek
Cameras flashing, the world in awe
But none could see what the victims saw 

[Pre-Chorus]
You danced on diamonds, we drowned in scars
Your empire’s ashes can’t hide who you are 

[Chorus]
How many cries went unheard through your halls?
How many tears stained those golden walls?
You'll walk out free while our lives still crawl
Where’s the justice when money buys it all? 

[Verse 3]
Forty months for a lifetime of screams
Forty months for shattering dreams
Sean Combs, a life's sentence should’ve been done
But the system bowed to a fallen son 

[Bridge]
This is for every voice denied
Every broken girl who still can’t cry
The law may fail, but truth won’t die
We’ll keep your shadow under the light 

[Chorus]
How many cries went unheard through your halls?
How many tears stained those golden walls?
You'll walk out free while our lives still crawl
Where’s the justice when money buys it all? 

[Chorus]
How many cries went unheard through your halls?
How many tears stained those golden walls?
Your sentence small, our wounds still tall
No cell can cage the weight of it all 

[Outro]
You fell from the crown, but not far enough
We’ll sing your truth till the world wakes up
You took our innocence, we’ll take your fame
Sean “Diddy” Combs — forever a name in shame.

The Price of Silence (The Fall of Diddy, Pt. II)

The lift breaks again
Seven flights of steps
I curse each one
I already miss you

A stranger complains
about the coffee taste
but all I can think
is the sound you make

The meeting drags on
Someone presents the slides
Their voice is a drone
my mind slips aside

I draw your outline
in the corner of notes
No one suspects
where my mind has gone

I already miss you
The hours don't move
Every clock is lying
Every thought is you
I already miss you

Lunch in the canteen
plastic and gray
They ask about deadlines
I nod, walk away

Your face in my mind
serene and absurd
You rarely speak
yet you speak every word

They bargain with minutes
they measure the day
But meaning is elsewhere
I've left it with you
I already miss you

I already miss you
The hours don't move
Every clock is lying
Every thought is you
I already miss you

And then
the door swings wide open
You greet me with cuddles and fur
with thunder of purr
with eyes that forgive the whole day

I missed you
You missed me
And nothing could be truer

I Already Miss You

They asked for proof
I offered none
They measured silence
Filed it under non-compliance

I'm not a camel
I'm not a camel
I'm not a camel
But the desert disagrees

They checked my spine 
for humps of pride
Found vertebrae of doubt instead
They nodded - classic case

I'm not a camel
I'm not a camel
I'm not a camel
Still they bring the rope

Every question comes pre-answered
Every form already signed

I'm not a camel
I'm not a camel
I'm not a camel
But they keep the sand on file

I'm not
I'm not

Not a Camel

No AI was used in the creation of this track. Can't believe I have to say that.

A song about someone longing for a lost connection, holding onto hope that the other person will reach out, cross the distance, and come back into their life—even if it’s just one small step at a time.

[Verse 1]
I’ve been walking these quiet streets alone
Chasing ghosts in the dial tone
Left the porch light on again
Just in case you’re close to home

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you’ve got your reasons
I’ve got mine, too
But if there’s still a spark
Let it pull you through

[Chorus]
Find a way to me
One step, one sign
Cross that line
Find a way to me

[Verse 2]
I ain’t asking for miracles, no
Just a call or a knock at the door
I’d meet you halfway, maybe more
But I don’t know what you’re waiting for

[Pre-Chorus]
You say time will heal
But it don’t feel fair
When the silence grows
And you’re still out there

[Chorus]
Find a way to me
One step, one sign
Cross that line
Find a way to me

[Bridge]
Every love leaves fingerprints
Even yours still lingers on
If you’re out there thinking twice
That means you’re not gone

[Chorus]
Find a way to me
One step, one sign
Cross that line
Find a way to me

[Outro]
Yeah...
Find a way to me

Find A Way

I'm at the beginning of my songwriting career—finally sharing the flood of lyrics that have been pouring out of me. Though I don’t sing or play instruments, I’ve been using AI tools to transform the songs I hear in my head into emotionally resonant demos. These tracks span a variety of genres—from country-pop/rock to dance, rock, ballads, and funk-pop—showcasing the full range of my songwriting voice.

Each song on SoundCloud reflects a different facet of my creative style, and I’m eager to collaborate with vocalists and musicians who connect with the sound. If something resonates, I’d love to hear from you.
