Lyrics

Released in September of 2026, "You Know It's True" is my first song in over a year. I finally pulled this one out of the archives. It started back in 2024, and the lyrics came straight out of a breakup. I was sad it was over, but deep down I knew that trying things again wouldn't make it any different. I kept toying with the idea that maybe there really is someone for everyone, and I just wasn't that one for them, even after being told I was their one and only and getting love bombed the whole way through. Musically, I didn't want the song to be all about the lyrics. I kept them simple and let the production sit more forward than the vocals. I wanted a big EDM style build-up that people could clap along to, leading into a drop that hits. It took me a while to come back to this one, but I'm glad it's finally out. Hope y'all enjoy it!

Released in April of 2025, the song "Thoughts" started on an acoustic guitar sometime in August 2024. It was a very dark sad dissonant progression, but I really liked the sound of it. I immediately started recording the riff, added some drums, and some 1975 inspired guitars. The chorus vocal hook came pretty easy along with the melodies that were already there. Unfortunately, I got stuck. It took me forever to try and figure out how I wanted the verses and other supporting elements to sound for the rest of the song. Finally, forcing myself to sit down, I wrote two verses. The next night, I was able to do most of the production. After 3 mixing/mastering iterations, I hope you all enjoy this song. Thanks for listening y'all.

Released on Halloween 2024, the song "Figure It Out" started out with a guitar riff in standard tuning with a capo high up on the neck. I just did some basic riffing and then the full song started forming. For the chorus, I wanted to do something like Gwen Stefani did with Hollaback Girl or Chappell Roan did with Hot To Go. They way the spelled out the chorus was intriguing and also sounded challenging to fit in a song. Spelling out I O Us and L O V E seemed like a good idea. It was hard to get a good take spelling that out, but I think I finally managed. I hope y'all enjoy it!

Released in March of 2024, the song "Anymore" was influenced by a Disney's A Goofy Movie music. Which in my opinion is the best Disney movie and you can fight me on that one! The song "Eye To Eye" by the fictional artist "Powerline" was a banger to say the least. I started writing "Anymore" back in December of 2021. When I first played the main synth line and it immediately reminded me of the movie. The verse and chorus instrumental came together in one night and pretty much 80% of the music was written. A few days later, I threw together the majority of the lyrics complimented by adlibs and random harmonies. The song came together beautifully, but one year past, then another, and the song was just became a demo that I struggled to finish. Saddened by yet another break up (fml), I finished the few lyrics that were missing, mixed, mastered, and just got this song done. I didn't overthink it too much and just decided to release it as is. I hope you all enjoy it!

Released in January of 2023, the song "Waiting For Your Love" was influenced by electronic artists such as Lenno and Oliver. I wanted a faster tempo vibe with a disco beat. I immediately put together the verse with a funky guitar, a groovy bass, and a 90's house style piano. While I was writing this song, someone from my past reached out to me to apologize for never giving us a real shot. Flustered, I want to say that I was sick of "waiting for your love" over the years. Instead, I internalized, and put it in a song. Healthy right? My favorite lyric from the song is "my heart has taken beatings". I was thinking about how I've been hurt over the years with this off and on relationship, but here I am, heart is still beating and taking beatings. To wrap up this song, I wanted to attempt to create a saxophone sound similar to song "Jason" by "The Midnight". It was tough to produce, but I threw it in over the post chorus. The "Sax" was decent, therefore the song was complete. Hope y'all enjoy.

Released in September of 2022, the song "From The Start" began by experimenting with this really bouncy synth that I fell in love with. From that 3 second sound, I wrote an entire song around it. Everything started falling into place including the lyrics. I was scrolling thru Facebook that night and saw someone I used to be close with venting about their recent relationship ending. They were upset about how it was all a lie and that ultimately, the person didn't care about them from the start. I could relate to the pain they were going through from some of my prior relationships and how mad and betrayed I felt now that it was over. My favorite part of the lyrics was about leaving the picture on the wall. It made me think of how we torture ourselves with hope and nostalgia.

Released in June of 2022, the song Over You was started with a single vocal loop I recorded. I started putting different effects on the track, then a beat, then a chord progression, and it all just fell into place. It was fun to chop up the vocal and make a variety of sounds. I wanted to keep the lyrics very simple so the focus would be on the vocal chops and production. The outro is my favorite part. It's so mellow, big, and emotional. The title of the song "Over You" is deceiving since the lyrics are "crying over you".

Released in May of 2022, the song Running Away was the first song I wrote and sang lyrics on. The song was written during a time where I felt like everything was going wrong. I wanted to just pack up my shit, leave everything, and start fresh. Those feelings were so conflicted with leaving what I still had in my life. I questioned why I was "Running Away" and began to mentally argue with myself. After everything settled in my head, I started writing the music and the lyrics just came naturally. It was a very emotional process but felt so good to get those feelings out on paper and in a song I enjoy. Thanks for listening!
