I write songs quietly, deliberately — because the world is already loud enough.
I write songs quietly, deliberately — because the world is already loud enough.
My music is available on the platforms below.
Listen wherever it feels most natural to you.
My head has always been full of music.Most pieces begin with an inspiration — a book, a person, a place, a memory, a situation that lingers. From there, I write the lyrics first, then sit quietly and listen for how those words want to be carried.I’m eclectic by nature, and every song asks for its own language. Style matters — not as a label, but as a vessel. Over time, certain voices have shaped how I listen and feel music: Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd, Jeff Beck, Mark Knopfler, Alan Parsons, Tears for Fears, Pat Metheny, Al Di Meola, Sting, Seal, Jacob Collier, Béla Fleck, Juan Luis Guerra, Sergio Mendes, Gino Vannelli, Burt Bacharach, Cole Porter — and, of course, the classics: Mozart, Schubert, Bach.Above all, I love the human voice.
There is no instrument more expressive. I listen deeply to choral music, a cappella, blues, and spirituals — and in my compositions, I try to place the voice at the very center of the performance.Composition comes slowly. Very slowly.
Through trial and error, I search for the right chords, tempo, pitch, texture, and orchestration. Nothing is rushed. Every element has to belong.When the sound finally aligns, something shifts.
Lyrics and melody stop being separate — and I become their fusion.
Only when I can feel it in my bones do I know the piece is ready.
Shoot First, Lie Later was written in response to what happened in Minnesota, where Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed. She was a mother of three.
In the days that followed, facts were disputed, narratives hardened, and the truth became secondary to speed and positioning. Before investigations, before accountability, a story was already being told.
As her father said, “She had a good life, but a hard life.”
This song is not an argument. It is a remembrance—and a refusal to let language erase what violence has already taken.
100% of our royalties will go to Renee's children's fund.
