“Mixed Signals” is a moody, edgy slow-burn pop track that captures the confusion and quiet frustration of a love that feels one-sided. Set in F# minor at 92 BPM, the song blends dark, atmospheric textures with stripped, emotional verses and a hauntingly honest chorus. Lyrically, it dives into the mental tug-of-war that comes with inconsistent affection when someone says one thing but shows another.

With its late-night energy, layered harmonies, and an emotionally charged bridge, this track sits perfectly alongside the introspective, emotionally raw pop of today's leading voices. It’s the anthem for anyone who’s ever felt trapped in a loop of uncertainty, asking for clarity but getting silence.

Whether you’re staring at the ceiling at 2AM or driving through the city lights trying to make sense of what went wrong, Mixed Signals is the soundtrack to those moments you almost text, but don’t.

"Fluidity" is a slow immersion into a fluid, cinematic soundscape. Blending ambient, experimental electronica, and textured sound design, each minute invites you to drift deeper.

No rigid beats, no imposed rhythm — just evolving pads, ethereal glitches, and a continuous sense of weightless motion. It’s musical breathing, a moment suspended in space.

💡 Perfect for creating, meditating, or traveling deep within.
🎧 Best experienced on headphones to capture the full subtlety of the mix.

Fluidity

A song about our journey, the hardships we face and the places we may go if we dream. Dedicated to my lovely daughter, Keira, and all her hopes and dreams.

LYRICS:

Lost my way 
In this emptiness
In my head all the hurt surrounds
In the dark 
In my solitude 
In my head
All the truth abounds

But if we fly beyond the stars
We’ll find a way back home 
And if we rise above the sun
We will find our way back home
Mmmm yeah 

In the dark 
In my solitude 
In my head 
All the truth abounds
In the dark 
In my loneliness
In your light 
All the hope is found 

So if we fly beyond the stars
We’ll find a way back home 
And if we rise above the Sun
We will find our way back home
Mmmm yeah

A Way Home (for K)

I believe all my tracks are residuals of my subconscious that reveal themselves to me. It's an infinite source of inspiration, like a river constantly flowing 💦💯👊🏾🫵🏾

I'm not sorry

Only A Minute More

Days (Hevyn remix)

I’m on the couch with a bowl of fries
Watching pretty people trading lies
She’s got a tan, he’s got a jaw
They fall in love by lunchtime law
They kiss, they cry, they break, they mend
All in the span of a weekend trend
But I’m not buying what they sell
I want a love that’s real as hell
They say “forever” in a hot tub scene
But I need more than a drama queen
That ain’t me, I don’t play that game
I don’t need roses or a claim to fame
I want late-night talks and coffee breath
Not a six-pack love with a camera set
That ain’t me, I don’t fake the spark
I want messy hearts and midnight dark
So keep your island, keep your show
I want a love that’s slow to grow
She’s crying now, mascara streak
He’s texting someone else next week
They say it’s love, they say it’s fate
But it looks like ratings on a plate
I want the kind that takes its time
Not a montage cut to fit the rhyme
I want the fight, the grace, the glue
Not a season pass to something new
They say “forever” in a hot tub scene
But I need more than a drama queen
That ain’t me, I don’t play that game
I don’t need roses or a claim to fame
I want late-night talks and coffee breath
Not a six-pack love with a camera set
That ain’t me, I don’t fake the spark
I want messy hearts and midnight dark
So keep your island, keep your show
I want a love that’s slow to grow[
Give me someone who sees my worst
And still shows up, unrehearsed
Not a perfect line or a scripted kiss
Just a real damn life, and love like this
That ain’t me, I don’t play that game
I don’t need roses or a claim to fame
I want late-night talks and coffee breath
Not a six-pack love with a camera set
That ain’t me, I don’t fake the spark
I want messy hearts and midnight dark
So keep your island, keep your show
I want a love that’s slow to grow
So turn it off, and turn to me
‘Cause real love’s not on your TV

Slow To Grow

“Still Here” is more than music—it’s a pulse. A breath. A testimony.
In a world that moves fast and forgets faster, this EP is a quiet revolution. Each track is a moment of reflection, healing, and hope.

From misty-eyed prayers to love letters from God, these songs are pages from a soul that’s weathered storms and still found beauty in the ruins.

Whether you’re searching for peace, fighting to stay present, or just trying to remember who you are—this EP is for you.

🕊️ Vulnerable. Healing. Unapologetically honest.

Mixed Signals
