Do You Really Love Me? Let's Go the Distance" is a poetic ballad of young love, a journey of hearts intertwined in the intoxicating dance of passion and uncertainty. This song was written to be a narrative dance or ballet, designed to unfold like a dramatic story told through movement and music. Much like the timeless classics The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and Romeo and Juliet, it invites dancers to embody characters, express emotion, and carry the audience through a visual tale. Every phrase of the music aligns with the rise and fall of the narrative, creating a performance that speaks without words only through choreography, expression, and the rhythm of the score.”
It echoes the timeless devotion of Romeo and Juliet, where every whispered word and stolen glance carries the weight of eternity. The song unfolds like a delicate promise, where love is both a question and an answer will we dare to walk this path, no matter the obstacles? With tender melodies and aching vocals, it invites the listener into a world where every beat is a heartbeat shared, and every note is a vow to go the distance, through the triumphs and heartbreaks. It's a timeless plea for love's true test, a story of two souls daring to dream beyond the moment and into forever.

By day, he writes code—designing custom software tools that blend efficiency with creativity. By night, he crafts immersive audio experiences under his artist name Cognix. His music draws on up to 30 layers of real custom samples, real world field recordings-from orca calls to distant storm rolls—woven together in chaotically rhythmic cadences that mirror nature’s own intelligence and teamwork. 

A proud father and devoted friend, Steve survived a near‑fatal encounter overseas that deepened his belief in art’s transformative power. When he isn’t serving others, sketching track designs, or working on his next book, you’ll find him in his apartment  sampling the world around him—blending forest rain, ocean swells, and urban hum into futuristic soundscapes.
