Close Your Eyes is about rest as strength. It’s for anyone who ran hard, pushed long, and forgot to pause. The song holds space for slowing down, telling the truth about being tired, and choosing presence over pressure. Closing your eyes isn’t quitting. It’s how you recover and keep going.

What if the most meaningful holiday gift this year is time, not things? That question became the seed of a new song I wrote called “Something New (This Christmas).” A simple moment on a train turned into a reflection on presence, connection, and how we choose to spend our attention.

Three hard truths sit at the heart of Soft Machine. Gratitude that starts within. Rituals born from storms. Love that feels uneasy but honest. A Thanksgiving reflection for anyone learning to thank themselves.

Shadow & Sol began as my songwriting sandbox. Soon it will rise again, an epic of sound and story where wild minds find themselves in the wild sea.

We’ve entered the Conversational Era, where how we talk shapes what gets built. With AI, with each other, and within ourselves. Wild minds like mine were never made for memorization but for dialogue, pattern, and curiosity. Now AI finally keeps pace, helping turn chaos into clarity.

What if you could rewrite the rules for the ones you’ve lost? I tried... and it became a song. Now I want to hear yours.

Day two after launch. Gratitude, reflection, and a reminder that these songs were never just mine... they were always meant to meet you.
I used to think purpose was something I had to chase down. Turns out, it shows up when I stop running and start shaping who I am through what I do.
The Wall of Awful still shows up in my life. It isn’t permanent even if old regrets, new mistakes, or anxious voices keep stacking up. But I see it differently now.
For years I pushed myself as a high-functioning mask, fueling performance with fear and anxiety until it carried me straight into burnout. debut EP, Neuroemergent, is the soundtrack of the first chapter of that story and this newsletter, Shaping Chaos, is the on-going map of that journey.
October is ADHD Awareness Month. The theme this year is The Many Faces of ADHD so the timing feels right to share my own story in a bigger way.
Björn Ulvaeus said it best: “Whatever you’re doing, you have to tell a story.” Here’s how that stuck with me.
This is the start of a new series I’m calling That Time I Sang Anyway. These are not studio takes. They’re raw, messy, and unpolished. The work in progress, shared in public as a way to break through fear and step into growth.
Big news to share!! Zillions Magazine just ran a feature on my new single, “Wall of Awful,” and my upcoming EP, Neuroemergent.
Neuroemergent is a six-song journal shaped from the rhythm of a wild mind (yep, that's me!) Written in the wake of burnout and carried forward by late-night scribbles and voice notes, it became a story of collapse, renewal, and second chances.
