From Fort Bliss to the Future... It all began in August 2011, at Fort Bliss, Texas. I was deep in training, preparing for a year-long tour in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, just three years away from retiring from the U.S. Army. Life was all about discipline, structure, and focus—but in the middle of it all, something unexpected happened. One day, while listening to music, a song kept replaying in my head. But it wasn’t just the same tune on repeat — it was changing, evolving, blending into something new. A cinematic pop melody started to intertwine with the heart of a contemporary Christian sound, all forming inside my mind. I didn’t realize it at first, but that moment became the spark for my very first song. That’s when I discovered something powerful: I could transcribe one song into another, transform a sound, and give it a completely new meaning. From that point forward, songwriting became more than just an idea — it became a calling. Fast forward fourteen years later — over 114 songs written and twenty more still in progress — and I’ve found a way to bring my music to life without even stepping into a studio. Thanks to AI music tools, I can experiment with sounds, beats, and styles like never before. Let me be clear — every lyric I write comes straight from me. The inspiration, the stories, the emotion — that’s all mine. But AI has given me a way to shape the quality and sound of my music, to match the vision I hear in my head. It provides beats and arrangements that fit my descriptions perfectly, offering multiple versions until I find the one that feels right. Now, as I prepare to share my songs with the world, I’m exploring multiple genres — from smooth and soulful to contemporary and cinematic. My goal is simple: to create music that helps people relax, reflect, and feel something real. I hope when you listen, you’ll connect with the heart and honesty behind every note. Thanks for listening — and don’t forget to share it with your friends and family.
