“Maybe Now” is one of the two tracks from my Rising Now EP, released on 21st November via Raverholics Recordings. This tune was born from a moment of clarity in my producer journey — that feeling of maybe now I’ve finally found the sound I’ve been searching for. It captures that turning point where confidence grows, creativity aligns, and the hope builds that maybe now people will start to notice what I’m creating. It’s a personal step forward, shaped by belief, progression, and the hunger to keep evolving as an artist.

Maybe Now (Original Mix)

This is a "quiet-loud" dynamic Alternative Country-Rock Ballad. The song structure builds from sparse, narrative-driven verses (reminiscent of Folk or Americana) into an explosive, anthemic rock chorus. The lead male vocal is gritty, weary, and heartfelt, moving from a conversational, storyteller tone in the verses to a raw, passionate belt in the chorus.  The Storyteller is weary, frustrated, and reflective in the verses. This frustration builds into a feeling of defiant, anthemic, and raw resilience in the chorus. It's a song of exhausted determination, a plea for understanding in the face of generational economic struggle.  A son explains today to his father.

Perspective (Please)

This one pulls no punches.
“Shutdown Pawns” is for every working American tired of being used as collateral damage.  If you’ve been through a shutdown, a furlough, or a government that forgot who it works for, shown up to a park only for it to be closed, or missed a service — this is your anthem. Heavy, gritty, gospel-infused fire. This is a raw, gritty Blues-Rock Anthem with strong Southern Gospel influences. This piece is built on defiance, anger, frustration, and resolution.  The song is an anthem of protest for the non-political elite of America.  It is meant as the Shutdown Gospel for the Pawns, abandoned by politicians scoring political points, and the song channels that sense of betrayal.  The song is primed and ready for the next time Real Americans are once again used as Shutdown Pawns.

Pressing on your ego while you beg for more
Calling out your bluff in every filthy tone
Watch my posture hit you
See me carve through silence
Raw heat wrecks your balance
Tell me how it feels when the whole script breaks around you now

Pressing on your ego while you beg for more
Calling out your bluff in every filthy tone
Watch my posture hit you

“Middle Finger Messiah” (WIP)

A raw studio glimpse into what we're busy working on over at the House of Phoenix studio. Middle Finger Messiah is the sound of finally being done with apologies—built on snarling guitars, pounding drums, and a razor-edged vocal performance that walks in with a crown and a middle finger raised.

This work-in-progress track carries the blueprint for a future album release: gritty, defiant, high-energy rock with a dark pulse and a bold, unbreakable center. It’s attitude, survival, and reclamation in one rising flame.

Turn it up, feel the bones of the song taking shape, and watch what it grows into.

The entire sound is in my hands. I write cyber poetry, produce, and compose every track ready for Immersive 3D. Every beat is crafted for spatial and next-gen headphones.
Intimate lyrics, total immersion, every track.

For 30 years I kept unfinished demos to myself, never letting them out. Now I finish what I start and release it the moment it’s alive.

I use every tool available, human or machine, as an instrument.
Technology doesn’t replace creativity. It expands it.

Music is the language and soul of humanity.  You can see and hear music, if not…you feel it.  Listen, see, and feel the music.

My story is the same as probably so many.  I always wanted to write music and share it, to express it, to let others feel it.  Like so many before me - life took over.  Responsibility.  Sure, I could have gone after the things I loved, but I felt the responsibility, so off around the world I went.  That was truly amazing, too.  But always tapping on my shoulder was the desire to write.  So I kept at it, just never doing anything with it.

Jumping forward to the here and now - I’m doing it.  Writing, composing, arranging, and editing.  I hope you enjoy it, give me your thoughts, and share it with others. 

Thank you,
JCCutter
