Penny Dreadful(Dreadful Funk Mix)

Spoken word meets penny dreadful horror. Resting Place is the first in my series Devilishly Dreadful—a chilling revival of Sweeney Todd’s grisly world. Performed in my own voice with layered sound effects, this piece blends gothic atmosphere, grotesque humor, and the rhythm of my original poetic form, the Chameleon Cantos.

Devilishly Dreadful: Resting Place

A reimagining of the 1840s penny dreadful Ada the Betrayed — reborn as a Gothic ghazal of vows, fire, and vengeance.

In this haunting retelling, a free Black woman’s marriage to a northern gentleman becomes a forge of betrayal. But her silence speaks louder than his pleas. Through flame and fury, she seizes the story that once bound her.

Some stories are whispered by the living. Others are told by the fire.

Poet • Mystic • Gothic Voice

I create work at the crossroads of poetry, music, and spirit — blending gothic atmosphere, existential honesty, and sacred subtext. My sound carries the same pulse as my poetry: raw, immersive, haunted yet haloed.

Started scratching in Dallas with a pair of Stantons with a technics mixer and from there dreams were made and died. Now I have returned to destroy the bull in my China shop and make a beat! A mix of different sounds and backgrounds. Mostly breaks with 32 flavors of other music that inspires me. Most songs are original works. Others are remixes from contests and bands I have worked with.
