Happy New Year 🎉

Something about this year seems exciting to me and I can't exactly put my finger on it. Maybe it's that a new year is polished, shiny, and unscathed. It's always vulnerable to tarnish as time moves forward, but the whats, wheres, whens, and whys you do with your year can always put it back into it's polished state. I'm choosing to always add purpose to all of those.

2023 is going to be my favorite year. I can tell already.

Enjoy my new song and again,

Happy New Year!

A lot of firsts this week (released my vocals on a track) and now releasing my first remix! Nirvana was such an inspiration growing up. The first song I ever learned (in 5th grade) was Come as You Are. I think I played it 200+ times that first day lol.... Remixes have never really intrigued me but after making this one, let's make more. 

What song would you like me to do next? Drop it in a comment below and don't forget to subscribe and like the video!

Come as You Are - Nirvana Remix

Excited to share my latest song, "The Sandman"! This one’s been a long time coming, and it’s extra special because it’s the first track I’ve recorded with my new microphone setup and studio gear! 🎤✨ It’s been such a journey to upgrade my equipment, and I’m so stoked to finally be able to bring a clearer, richer sound to this track.

"The Sandman" is a blend of country and pop vibes, telling the story of chasing peace and rest in a restless world. It’s about those nights when sleep feels impossible, and the search for solace feels just out of reach. The Sandman is always just a step ahead, a fleeting hope that keeps you going, even when you can’t seem to catch him.

Thank you for listening and supporting me on this new chapter of music! Let me know what you think, and don’t forget to hit follow for more music coming soon. 🎶

"The One Who Got Away" flips the usual story. It’s a vibe for anyone who’s ever got away to grow.

Play it loud. Let it sit.

Lyrics:
Let me tell you about the one that got away,
The one that got away
The one that got away
Way, Way, Way...

Let me tell you about the one who got away
It was friday just like every other day
Clocked out 2 weeks notice in, get me paid

I'm the one
That Got Away
Im the One 
That got away

Im the one that got away from it
Just so that I can make it lit 
You may not like the way it sits
But I just like the way it fits

I'm the one
That Got Away
Im the One 
That got away

The One that Got Away

Enjoy my latest track for my upcoming album. I'm leaning hard into the vocals on this one. I hope you enjoy :) Stay tuned for more!

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Woke up, late
Sun felt, great
No rush, no sound
Just laid, back down
Nothin' but bird in the background

Phone off, world on pause
No plans, no cause
Feet up, mind clear
No noise, just here
Heart calm, no fear

Walk out, no goal
just peace, for the soul

Nothin' but bird in the background

It's one of them days I vibe with
No weight on my mind, no time shift
No clock tick, no tight grip
Just peace on my side like a sidekick

One of them days I can ride with
Thoughts I don’t need to hide with
Nothing but time and a slight drift
Seat leaned back on a side trip

Nothin' but bird in the background

[Verse 2]
Walked real slow, sun high
Cool breeze, rolled by
Shades on, no stress
Old song, still fresh
Rich with a clear blue sky
Oh me, Oh my, they said, who's that guy

Nothin' but bird in the background

[Verse 3/Outro]
The sun went low, with the golden light
Long shadows, feel just right
Peace hit soft like the night
Lights Dim, Moon high



Birds in the Background

Moth to Flame

Summer

LYRICS:

Knock Knock
It's the Big
Bad
Wolf

He's Here

His footsteps echo
Their heartbeats jump
His shadows moving
The Door feels that thump

Knock, Knock, Knock

Their Whispers Low
They cant stay calm
His teeth so sharp
Voice like a bomb

It's the Big Bad....

No red cloak
Just black smoke
No fairy tale
Just cutthroat

He's Here

Knock Knock
It's the big
Bad...

Whispers Low
Teeth so sharp

It's the big
Bad...
Wolf

It's the big
Bad...
Wolf

Big Bad Wolf

Lyrics:
Strike the match, feel the flame
I’m not the same
I was forged in fire, broke the chain
Echoes screaming in my brain

I burn the sky, I break the ground
I feel the storm, I wear the crown
No backing down, No backing down
I’m lightning loud, I’m lightning loud
Shake the clouds!

No backing down, No backing down
I’m lightning loud, I’m lightning loud
Shake the clouds!

Heavy soul, but my feet don’t freeze
Crack my bones, but I don’t scream
I'm the fire in your dream

Strike the match, feel the flame
I’m not the same
I was forged in fire, broke the chain
Echoes screaming in my brain

I burn the sky, I break the ground
I feel the storm, I wear the crown
No backing down, No backing down
I’m lightning loud, I’m lightning loud
Shake the clouds!

Crack my bones, but I don’t scream
I'm the fire in your dream

Lightening

Last Song on the album!

Lyrics:
Eyes open, I’m still sleepin’
Rain taps loud, heart still beatin’
Room full of ghosts, thoughts retreatin’
Chasin’ hope but the light keeps leavin’

And I feel it comin’ down again
Like a war inside my oxygen
I keep dreamin’ but I can’t ascend
Can’t pretend… I’m fine, I’m fine
I’m fine, I’m totally fine -

TBD

I'm Fine

Lyrics:

Light fades, shadows play
I'm lost between the night and the day
And I'm caught in the middle where they meet and they stay
Where all the shades of gray play

The signs, in the sky
They all contradict
And this it, rewrite the script
We finally can commit

You're the edge of my edge
The smoke in my lungs
The air that I breathe
The air that I breathe

The top of the charts, is where we will be
You're the number one gun
The edge of my seat

The signs, in the sky
They all contradict
And this it, rewrite the script
We finally can commit

You're the edge of my edge
The smoke in my lungs
The air that I breathe
The air that I breathe

The top of the charts, is where we will be
You're the number one gun
The edge of my seat

Shadows Play

Last song on the album :)
Releases Sept. 1!

Intro
I just won the game, game, game
Number one spot, spot, spot
Half court shot, shot, shot
Now we on top, top, top

Verse 1
I just won the game
With a half court shot
Number one spot
Now we on top

Pre-Chorus
Put the team on my back and make it quick
I put the dub in the bag and make it stick

Chorus
We celebrate
Got that dub, dub, dub, dub
We celebrate
Got that dub, dub, dub, dub

Verse 2
I just won the game, game, game
Get ready for the fame
I just won the game, game, game
Get ready for the fame

Bridge
Poppin’ that champagne
Spray it in the airplane
Medals on my neck chain
Shinin’ like the lights in the game, game

Chorus
celebrate
dub, dub, dub, dub
celebrate
dub, dub, dub, dub

Outro Freestyle
Yeah, they thought we were done, now we breakin’ the rim
Whole crowd goin’ wild when they see us win
From the bench to the throne, now we run that court
We the highlight reel that they can’t ignore

Got the city on my back, got my name in the lights
From the jump ball fight to the late night flights
When the trophy’s in reach, you don’t fold, you rise
Now the rings on my fingers match the fire in my eyes

Lyrics:
[Verse 1 / Story Intro]
This is a story… about a man
Who broke down… in a western land
He had no friends, just the iron at his side
No place to run, and no place to hide

[Pre-Chorus]
Dust in the streets, eyes in the dark (high pitched)
Every outlaw waitin’ for a chance to spark (high pitched)
GUNS…DRAWN
THEIR SHADOWS…GONE

[Chorus]
Just like that
He tips his hat
Eyes on the strap
They all fall flat
Time bends back
Steel in his my lap
Riders attack
Legends don’t crack

Just like that
He takes his shot
Evil is caught
Justice is brought
Dust clouds rise
Truth never dies
Heart stays bold
Story’s told

Just like that
Just like that

Just Like That

Lyrics:
Let me tell you 'bout a story,  
Once upon a time, time, time,  
Lights were flashing, bodies moving,  
Lost inside our minds, minds, minds

We were young and wild together,  
Living like we owned the sky,  
Every heartbeat getting louder,  
Take me back to 1999!  

1999 (mastered)

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Soft rain on stone
Sky breaks, I’m home
Leaves sway, air fades
Cool breeze in the shade

Breathe in petrichor

(Verse 2)
Streetlight halos glow
Puddles start to grow
Bare hands, open sky
Colors blur, feel alive

Breathe in petrichor

(Bridge)
First storm feels like home
First storm makes me whole

Leaves sway, air fades
Cool breeze in the shade

Breathe in petrichor

Petrichor DRAFT

Ground

Lyrics:
[Intro]
Sunshine, I'm alive
Blue sky, it's time to dive

[Verse 1]
Sand in my grip
Toes in the foam
Waves on my mind
Like the beat on my phone

I'm Drifting with the tide,
and I'm lost in the sound,
Nothing to chase,
Nowhere unbound.

The salt on my skin,
The Peace in my chest,
Maybe this life
Ain’t all about stress.

[Chorus]
Sunshine, I'm alive
Blue sky, it's time to dive

[Verse 2]
The friends on the shore 
The laughin’ all day 
The light in their eyes 
Takes the pain away

The boards in the back 
Salt on my skin 
Laughs in the wind 
Let the vibes sink in

No 9-to-5,
just the waves and I,
And my eyes wide open,
Sun on the rise,
Light hits the tide,
My soul is soakin’.

Sunshine, I'm alive
Blue sky, it's time to dive

Sunshine, I feel alive
Sunshine, I take a dive
I take a dive
Just to feel alive...


I'm Alive (mastered)

[Intro]
Took that late-night drive through the haze
My dashboard glowin’ like a neon blaze
My dreams got wings and I can’t feel the weight
‘Cause I got aint no fear left to blame

[Pre-Chorus]
So take me to the top of the chart
Top of the stars, legends start there
I’ve been runnin’ these nights with an open heart,
Chasin’ every spark that was never there

Drive (DRAFT)

Own the Night

Intro (verse 1):
Never hold back
This life
Don't blink
This is your time

One shot
One moment

And if you fail
That's life
Who cares
You tried

One breath
It was a fracture
Now youre the master

Chorus:
Youre the master
Youre the master
Never backwards
Only faster
When you took the step you always win

Youre the master
Youre the master
Never backwards
Only faster
When you took the step you always win

Verse 2

You're Standing on the edge
Heart beating loud 
Every doubt saying “don’t do it now” 
Comfort never makes a change

You're Hands shaking but your feet 
Faith starts forming when you finally leap
You don’t need to know how it ends

Never hold back
This life
Don't blink
This is your time

One shot
One moment

And if you fail
That's life
Who cares
You tried

One breath
It was a fracture
Now youre the master

Chorus:
Youre the master
Youre the master
Never backwards
Only faster
When you took the step you always win

Youre the master
Youre the master
Never backwards
Only faster
When you took the step you always win

Outro:
Youre the master
Youre the master
Never backwards
Only faster
Youre the master
Youre the master
Youre the master

The Master (Mastered)
