It's Your Thing by Bernard Purdie & Friends

“She Came in Red” is one personal song I wrote, an ode to loss, memory, and mysterious visitations that feel too perfect to be coincidence. The ladybug becomes a symbol of grace showing up when I need it most, like a whisper from someone I’ve lost. I leaned into a stripped down performance to carry all the emotion in the raw vocal grit and acoustic simplicity. It’s my way of saying goodbye, again, in the quietest, truest way.

She Came In Red

“Don’t Lose Your Funny” is my reminder to myself and anyone carrying emotional weight, your humor is armor. Even when things fall apart, our ability to laugh, especially in the hardest moments, is a radical act of resilience. This song celebrates that spark, that little edge we carry even when tired, even when broken. It’s gritty, soulful, and joyful without denying the hard stuff. We don’t need to be perfect, but damn it, we should never lose our funny.

Don’t Lose Your Funny

“The River Knows the Way” is a meditation on loss, searching, and the hidden wisdom in life’s quietest moments. It doesn’t offer answers, instead, it reflects the timeless rhythm of the natural world and how it teaches us to listen inward. Each verse is a different voice in that journey, child, elder, stranger, all leading back to a truth we already carry. This song is for anyone who’s ever wandered, wondered, and quietly returned home to themselves.

The River Knows the Way

“Be My Human” is a song about shedding all the expectations of perfection and simply showing up as you are. I wrote it as a love letter to the parts of ourselves that are messy, scared, imperfect, and still worthy of deep connection. Inspired by the idea that what we really need from each other isn’t polished, just present, real, and human.

Be My Human

“It’s Been Goin’ Around” came from a place of that gut punch moment, when you don’t need anyone to spell it out, because the whole block’s already humming the tune. It’s about feeling that shift in someone’s love before they say a word. This one’s about heartbreak… but with an edge.

It’s Been Goin’ Around

“Breaking Down” is my Southern fiddle duel anthem, an ode to resilience disguised as a showdown. I wrote it as a metaphor for standing your ground when life tests you. The devil here isn’t just folklore, he’s burnout, self doubt, temptation, despair. But even when you’re stranded on the side of the road, if you’ve still got a tune in your heart, you’ve got power. It’s about grit, southern pride, and reclaiming your rhythm, one bow stroke at a time.

Breaking Down

“Magical Creatures (Pop Version)” is a playful art-pop story about unseen entities that exist in our dreams and subconscious. I wrote it as a colorful reflection on how imagination can become both comfort and chaos. The pop version leans theatrical, like a whimsical cabaret trapped in a dream, with quirky textures and eccentric vocals to give each creature its own sound.

Magical Creatures (Pops Version)

“Magical Creatures (Dance Version)” transforms the same fantastical lyrics into an uptempo, rhythm heavy experience. I envisioned this version with bouncing beats, stuttered synths, and sparkly chaos, like if a costume party was DJ’d by aliens. It’s about releasing control and dancing with the weirdness in your head, because sometimes your monsters just want to groove.

Magical Creatures (Dance Version)

“I’ll Be Your Shelter” is a promise. I wrote this for the people I’ve watched go through their darkest moments alone. It’s about showing up when everything falls apart, not with grand gestures, but with presence. It’s my way of saying, ‘I see you, and I’m not going anywhere.’ It carries the warmth of an old school ballad, with the emotional clarity of today’s pop harmony. It’s comfort, commitment, and quiet love wrapped into a song.

I’ll Be Your Shelter

After years of navigating personal loss, my son’s death last Nov, and life’s complexities, I turned to songwriting as a form of therapy, a way to process emotions and tell stories that resonate. My approach to writing lyrics is deeply personal, drawing from real-life experiences, emotions, and reflections. Each song begins as a raw expression, evolving through words that capture the essence of my journey.

To bring my vision to life, I integrate AI-driven music production tools, allowing me to experiment with soundscapes and arrangements that complement my lyrics. This fusion of human emotion and technology helps transform my ideas into fully realized compositions, bridging creativity with innovation. Through my music, I aim to connect, heal, and inspire, one song at a time.
