Winter Wonderland

“The Unexpected Ride” is an upbeat, Americana-driven anthem with the warm, coastal-country energy of Chesney: acoustic guitars, open-road drums, and a feel-good melody that leans into freedom, resilience, and second chances, The song celebrates the twists and turns of life — from childhood ballfields to hard falls, redemption, and rediscovered purpose — all told with a smile and a grateful, sun-on-your-face spirit, The verses roll like stories from a backseat memory, while the chorus explodes into a shout-along celebration of every wrong turn that somehow led somewhere right, With its mix of beach-day ease and small-town heart, the track feels like a soundtrack for anyone who’s taken a few hits, stood back up, and learned to enjoy the wild, unexpected ride life throws at you, Upbeat, warm, nostalgic, and full of hope

The Unexpected Ride

Modern country rock anthem in the style, built around a driving mid-tempo groove with a strong emotional lift, The song opens with restrained electric guitar and atmospheric pads, setting a reflective tone before building into a powerful, stadium-ready chorus, Verses stay tight and conversational, allowing the message to land clearly, while the pre-chorus subtly rises to create tension, The chorus explodes with layered electric guitars, punchy drums, and a bold, anthemic vocal delivery designed for radio rotation and live sing-alongs, The bridge strips back briefly for emotional emphasis before launching into a final chorus with added harmonies and instrumentation for maximum impact, Overall feel is gritty, motivational, and uplifting—masculine but heartfelt—delivering a strong life lesson through simple, memorable imagery and a soaring hook, male vocals

Built For The Wind

This is the kind of song you play before opening your laptop — not after you’ve locked yourself out of it again, male vocals

Keep It Simple, Stupid!

An upbeat, feel-good country anthem built for radio sing-alongs and windows-down driving, “Wind in the Middle” blends humor, honesty, and carefree energy into a modern beach-country sound that doesn’t take itself too seriously, The track features bright acoustic guitars, steady drums, and an easygoing groove that makes you smile before the first chorus even hits, Lyrically playful and self-aware, it captures the moment when you stop overthinking life and start enjoying it again—laughing at the confusion, embracing the ride, and choosing fun over perfection, The chorus is instantly catchy, designed to be shouted by strangers at stoplights and cut up loud when it comes on the radio, It’s the kind of song that makes you roll the window down, forget where you were headed, and feel young without pretending you are, Lighthearted, relatable, and built for repeat listens, this song celebrates freedom, fresh starts, and the joy of just moving forward with the wind in your face, male vocals

Middle Finger Wind

A laid-back intro with fingerpicked guitar and airy synth pads establishes a dreamy texture, Subtle bass and brushed drums enter as the verse unfolds, building momentum, The chorus lifts with a fuller band sound—electric guitar, layered harmonies, and dynamic percussion—adding energy, The bridge features a minimalist breakdown with filtered beats and spacious keys before returning to a lush, uplifting final chorus and a gentle fade-out, male vocals

As You Are

A late-night collection about looking back without getting stuck there. Big dreams, small moments, good people, missed time, hard lessons — and the quiet decision to keep moving forward.

Reel Took The Real

I’m a songwriter built from love, bruises, and a will that refuses to lay down. My life has had its fair share of wrong turns, heartbreaks, and hard lessons, but every one of them shaped the way I write. I don’t come from perfection — I come from the kind of truth you earn. The kind you bleed for. The kind you grow from.

Music has always been my compass. When I lost myself, it reminded me who I was. When the world got loud, it gave me a place to breathe. Now I write songs for people like me — people who love big, fall hard, get back up slower than they’d like, but still find the courage to try again.

My sound is built on heart first, grit second. It’s for the fighters, the forgivers, the ones rebuilding their lives one right choice at a time. If you’ve ever carried regret in one hand and hope in the other, you’ll hear your own story somewhere in mine.

I don’t make music to be perfect.
I make music to stay human — and to help others do the same.
