Letting Go of Negativity

"Black Sheep Rising " is an empowering indie-pop ballad about overcoming doubt, defying expectations, and finding strength within oneself. It tells the story of feeling misunderstood and overlooked, yet rising above it all to achieve personal dreams and self-acceptance—no longer seeking validation from those who never believed.

Black Sheep Rising

Thank you for sticking with me and listening to my songs every day. I notice the ones who show up, the ones who keep coming back, the ones who let my music into their life. I hope these songs have given you as much strength and peace as they’ve given me. I write them to lift the soul and the spirit, because in these times we need every bit of light we can get.

The only thing I can tell you is this. Never give up on yourself. If you want something, you have to work for it, and sometimes you have to work hard as shit to get anywhere. But I believe in you. I believe you will reach that first goal on your journey in this life. And when you do, don’t stop. Keep going. There is always another level waiting for you.

In the meantime, I have a whole universe of musical projects you can explore. If any of them speak to you, let me know. Welcome to the way my mind works.

Welcome to my world.

Cheers!

MICCORE is an experimental artist and songwriter blending alternative rock, pop, and indie sounds through digital creation (using Suno and Audacity for the most part). Each song is an emotional journey inspired by my inner world — pushing the edge of what modern music can be.
I'm a published poet, who's been writing for the past 45 years (started as a young child).  Producing the songs I write using both AI and manual sound editing has finally allowed me to share my creativity, emotions, life experiences and memories in sound-form with the world.
