When I wrote this song at the end of 2020, I was staying in my childhood bedroom in Wisconsin, nursing the wounds of a terrible breakup. I felt completely alone, realizing that some of our mutual friends weren’t as close to me as I thought. (Later, when I booted up my computer, I found his iMessages synced to my iCloud and read some hurtful texts between him and “our friends.”) I was virtually homeless, having driven cross-country, feeling utterly abandoned when I received an email from him. His words lacked genuine accountability and only added salt to the wound, showing he still couldn’t see or acknowledge the pain he caused me. Sitting on my bedroom floor, I wanted to clap back in an email response, but I knew nothing would get through. My ex was no longer someone I could trust to hear me. I was angry and deeply hurt. I realized that no response was louder than any righteous response I could come up with, but I still needed an outlet…

Back in my childhood home, I had a private teenage rebellion. I got in touch with my teen angst, sneaking off to buy cigarettes and driving a town away, blasting Amy Winehouse, Fiona Apple, Alanis Morissette, Sheryl Crow— the women who raised me in my teens. I would type out lyrics in my phone notes, order a coffee from the cafe I worked at in high school, and sit in the parking lot, highly caffeinated and chain-smoking cigarettes. And then with my travel guitar in the front seat of my Toyota Corolla, I wrote songs day after day until I had an entire album, showing all the stages of grief. This is just one of the songs from that album, representing the anger part of the process.

“White Flag” was his attempt at an olive branch. 🏳️🕊️ But I assure you, all I could see was Red. 🚩

White Flag

Space&Time - Dz-Hz - Edit

Dev X David Tam 
THIS IS MY FAVORITE OFF THE ALBUM 
DAVID DID HIS THING WITH THIS BEAT and the lyrics flowed from my mind instantly as david was making the beat. im really big on honesty because i myself am as honest as possible (many times TOO honest) i know youll love this one as much as i do .

If you’re searching for a fresh sound that transcends boundaries and connects souls, look no further than "Jahbridge" by Jahwawah. This sensational track is a masterclass in modern roots reggae, seamlessly blending live instrumentation with infectious grooves that will have you moving from the very first note!
From the moment the rhythm kicks in, you’re enveloped in a warm, vibrant soundscape that echoes the rich heritage of reggae while propelling it into the contemporary music scene. Jahwawah’s passion shines through every chord played and every beat dropped, creating an experience that feels both timeless and innovative.
The live instruments are the heartbeat of this track. The deep, thumping bass lines provide a solid foundation, while the crisp guitar riffs and rhythmic drums create an irresistible urge to skank. The addition of brass instruments adds a layer of richness that elevates the entire composition, making it impossible to resist dancing along.
But it’s not just about the grooves; the lyrics in "Jahbridge" resonate on a deeper level. Jahwawah delivers a powerful message of unity, love, and resilience, reminding us of the importance of connection in our increasingly divided world. You can feel the authenticity in every line, making it not just a song, but an anthem for a generation seeking hope and positivity.
Whether you’re a lifelong reggae fan or a newcomer to the genre, "Jahbridge" invites you to join in the celebration of life, love, and music. This track is a testament to Jahwawah’s artistry and vision, and it’s clear that he’s a rising star to watch.

'Srebrni venec' (The Silver Wreath) is the first of four songs included in the set I recorded recently. It follows the same principle of performance; that is, live looping, where I use various instruments. In this case, the ukulele, flute, MIDI controller as a keyboard, percussion instruments shakers, a Tibetan singing bowl, and my voice. The inspiration for the song comes from Slovenian and Slavic folklore. It speaks of a silver wreath that a girl wore for beauty, but she has now decided that she no longer needs it.

Lyrics:
She cannot explain it
Her constellations and how
Our love ain’t engineered to last
She claims intervention
Cosmic tension pulled our strings apart
I know I won’t get no favours from the stars

Sweeter than sound
Wrapped in a cold embrace
She believed in the stars
Being a lonely place
All over my skin
I’m bathed in sin
When you lie with me
So go on
Tell em why
It must be nice

The air hissing rudely
Induces in me a fleeting fury
As the meaning rattles in my head
She blames it on Saturn
Says the pattern on my palm’s the reason
She made her decision
Spelled the end

I don’t do telekinesis
Won’t you just tell me
What’s been up
Love, I know you ain’t
Letting me in
Give up on the stars
I gave you something more
To believe in

Sweeter than sound
Wrapped in a cold embrace
She believed in the stars
Being a lonely place
All over my skin
I’m bathed in sin
When you lie with me
So go on
Tell em why
It must be nice

I’m fiction without you
Lonely in the night sky
I don’t have no way to
Stop driving into
Blows with my stars if you
Say we don’t 
Have no
Chance

Sweeter Than Sound

Currently Tony is a full time bassist and trumpeter that creates all genres of music. Electronic music such as R&B. EDM/Trap, Hip Hop, Alternative, and Indie styles are some of my strongest suits but I also have composed orchestral arrangements in the past. Through my studies at Morgan State University as well as my performing and producing, I've be in a part of several jazz, classical, R&B, and theatrical productions. Through producing I've found that although I enjoy making R&B. EDM/Trap, Hip Hop, Alternative, and Indie, I find myself to fusing styles together to create a fresh and new sound while still staying true to the song/project at hand.
