PERREO DEL FUTURO (AÑO 3000)

This piece isn’t for attention.
It’s not for branding or image.
It’s for any parent who’s ever been forced to choose between their role and their presence.
For those who’ve had to disguise truth just to survive the noise.
For those who stay, quietly, because they love too deeply to walk away.

This isn’t about sides.
It’s about what love refuses to abandon.

This is for every child who deserves to feel their parent’s voice steady—
even when the world tries to silence it.

This is for them - Always.

For Them - Always

Artist: Hybrid Roots | Lyricist: Andy Brotherton
Soulful, spoken, and unshakably present—this piece weaves a defiant tenderness through layered vocals, choir warmth, and unapologetic clarity. Written in reverence for the walk, not the destination. It's for those who know what it means to carry truth softly but firmly…
For Them (two). Always. 

For Them – Always

Hi, I’m Andy.

My songs are rooted in real moments—raw at times, but always honest. That honesty shapes everything I write—songs that trace my journey through healing, fatherhood, emotional resilience, and the struggle to stay present in a complicated world.

I’m not here to offer answers. Songs like "One Thing" and "Still Not Letting Go" are just moments I’ve captured—some hopeful, some heavy. If something in my music resonates with you, that’s a bonus. But at its core, this is how I breathe, reflect, and move forward.

I write about being a father. About showing up even when everything feels off-balance. About the quiet weight of work that no one sees.
And I’ve come to believe something simple but powerful:

In nearly every language, the word for father carries the same open sound—ah.
That sound echoes in everything I write. It’s the sound of care, of effort, of love trying to hold.

Each song is a place to feel, not to fix. I don’t claim clarity—I just believe in the power of putting your truth into the world. And sometimes, that’s the best you can do.

I’m building this slowly and honestly.
Thanks to anyone walking beside me while I figure out what it means to grow through music.

If you’ve made it this far—thank you.

Hybrid Roots creates music that blends jazz, soul, grunge, and spoken word—rooted in fatherhood, balance, emotional depth, and human connection.

Each song is a moment of real-time healing—guided by rhythms of love, work, struggle, and the shared language of care.

From parenting through pain to rediscovering peace in rhythm, Hybrid Roots doesn’t offer escape. He offers return:

🌱 Return to rhythm
🌱 Return to roots
🌱 Return to what matters

Debut single “Life’s Balance” released June 13, 2025.
