“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

“Call It Home” turns person‑as‑place into a timeless vow. Acoustic guitars and pedal steel carry the verses; the last chorus lifts a semitone with claps on beat‑2 for a hands‑up singalong. Designed for first dances, reunions, and big-screen moments.

Call It Home

Reflections Fade is about confronting the quiet changes in life that sneak up on you. It captures that moment when you realize you’ve been shaped by love, by loss, by time, and now you’re standing alone on the other side, different. I wanted it to feel raw, stripped back, full of emotion. It’s about acceptance, letting go, and learning to breathe again.

“Mind’s Eye” is a rebellious, acid washed burst of raw perception. I wrote it as a sonic mirror for anyone caught in the chaos of disinformation, media fog, and soul numbing systems. It’s a rally cry to see deeper, question everything, and trust your own fire. The spirit of 60s psych rock lives loud in this one. It’s not nostalgia, it’s a revolution anthem dressed in retro fuzz.”

Minds Eye

“The Girl from Brazil” is a nostalgic bossa nova reflection on a fleeting summer romance that left a lasting imprint. I wrote it from the perspective of a man swept up in the magic of a mysterious woman who drifts in like a tide and leaves just as quietly. It’s sensual, romantic, and tinged with melancholy, the kind of love story that lives forever in memory. The rhythm is smooth and swaying, just like she was.

The Girl from Brazil

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.
