I have written this song for myself, and all those people out there in the world that have busted their backsides to do the right thing and try and make their family's life better and even though they personally did not quite make it, they can be proud of their efforts.

The story of “My Own Way” unfolds as a heartfelt ballad of reflection, resilience, and gratitude. It carries the weight of a life lived with effort and honesty, where triumphs were few but the spirit never gave in. This Traditional Pop/Jazz/Swing ballad draws from everyday struggle, told through the voice of an ordinary man who found pride in trying and love along the journey. With sweeping orchestration and a warm baritone vocal, the verses flow with tenderness, then rise with emotional power in the choruses. The arrangement mirrors the story: soft strings and piano for intimacy, brass and drums swelling as the determination grows. It is music that balances vulnerability with dignity, capturing the bittersweet acceptance of one’s path. The song honors those who stood tall even when the world didn’t give them fame, reminding us that living true is its own victory. “My Own Way” is an anthem for the unsung, a reflection of strength, love, and acceptance. Stream it, share it, and let it stand as a tribute to lives lived with heart.

Lyrics
My Own Way

In my life, I have not achieved what I want
So many times, getting near but then losing
And as I age and my life’s end is getting nearer
I can tell you, that if nothing else
I have tried my guts out, and this I’m proud
Tried, so many things to find a way
One thing I’m proud, I found you along the way

So, if I live this life through and have no fame
Then that is ok, because I can always say
Though, I never won that often
I can look back and I can say without exception
That, I did my best and I can look at my reflection
And more, with you at my side
I would not change my direction

Yes, there were many times, and you knew
I tried things, which I should never have
But through it all, I looked over my shoulder
You would be there, smiling at me
Because you knew, no matter what
I would stand tall and find a way (back to you)

You let me be, walked that road, that was me
You never stopped me, maybe shook your head
You let me be, the man that was me
For that alone, I thank you
Because you understood and let me be me
You stood to one side, let me find my own way

Yes, it was my own way (ooooh yeah, my own way)

*LYRICS* / *LETRA*

Estela...

Estela. Mi luz. Mi dulce amanecer.
Torpe con los libros, pero lista en el querer.
Eres fuego que no quema, eres brisa en tempestad,
la que viste con encanto… y suelta improperios sin piedad.

Llévame contigo, donde quieras caminar,
a Kioto o Barcelona, da igual dónde terminar.
Con tu risa tan salvaje y tu forma de brillar,
Estela, mi antorcha… en la oscuridad.

Tienes alma de mil años y un estilo sin igual,
coqueta como un tango, divertida y tan cabal.
Siempre planeando algo, aunque sea sin razón,
y aunque seas quisquillosa, me haces fuerte el corazón.

Llévame contigo, donde quieras caminar,
a Londres o a un gimnasio, yo solo quiero estar.
Entre risas y batidos, o un hechizo por lanzar,
Estela, mi antorcha… en la oscuridad.

Eres magia, eres jazz, una musa sin guión,
escribes con descaro lo que dicta la pasión.
Y aunque el mundo sea un lío, y tú a veces más que yo,
mi faro en la tormenta, mi volcán y mi rincón.

Estela…
ni los años veinte te podrían imaginar.
Eres única en tu esencia,
mi razón de caminar.

Mi Antorcha en la Oscuridad

Toast me to the stars, with peanut butter moons

Let’s picnic on a comet, while Saturn hums his tunes

I’ll bring my broken compass, you bring your unpaid fines

We’ll navigate the cosmos by ignoring all the signs


Kiss me on the forehead, then ghost me on the Sun

Tell me life’s a soufflé—that’s collapsed for everyone

My heart’s a busted jukebox, still skipping to your name

But darling, I blame gravity… it’s pulling all the blame


Oh, launch me with your laughter, crash me in your grace

I’ve written vows in Morse code on this paper plate

If love’s a constellation, I’ll forget the map

Let’s wing it through the galaxy with snacks and mild regret


We could’ve been deep—like a fortune cookie lie

But we chose memes and sarcasm, with a side of "why try?"

Still, if I get reborn as your neighbor’s poodle’s dream

I’ll wag my tail politely when you scream


So toast me to the stars, just one last clumsy flight

Let’s dance where logic fears to tread, beneath the satellite

And if we crash, let’s crash with flair—our drama writ in craters

For love, my dear, was always for the idiots… and waiters.

I’ll be orbiting your voicemail...

Till voicemail’s out of style.

Toast Me to the Stars

I met her at midnight—no shoes, no shame

A bourbon blonde with a dangerous name

She kissed like trouble and laughed like sin

But I swear on the bottle, I let her in


She stole my lighter and half my bed

Left sweet nothings and gin in my head

So now I sit in a tux that's frayed

Toasting vows I never made


Put a ring on my whiskey, darling—I'm married to the pour

It's smoother than your alibis and loves me even more

I don't need your empty promises or your perfume on my sleeve

Just this amber bride who never leaves

Put A Ring on My Whiskey

I have an ongoing collaboration since 2018 with my friend Michael who lives in both Poland and LA. In the summer of 2025, Michael had a series of sessions with professional musician Avi on both guitar and vocals. I did production work and added bass. Beautiful stuff. This is a version of  "Can't Help Falling In Love", made famous by Elvis Presley.

Acoustic guitar; folk; Americana; jam band influences; blues; rock; old time; bluegrass; grungey stuff. Even some electro and EDM vibes occasionally. I play a wide mix of music with a lot of different people.
