AI forced me to sing
I never thought I’d be singing. For years, I stayed behind the scenes—producing music, layering instrumentals, and avoiding the mic at all costs. But when AI started generating full songs in seconds, I realized I couldn’t keep up with that kind of speed. So I had to ask: what can AI never replace? The answer was uncomfortable—my voice. Not just the sound, but the heart, the flaws, the faith behind it. I used to hate how I sounded. But with each messy attempt, I began to rebuild my confidence—and with God’s help, I pushed past the limiting beliefs I’d carried for years.
This journey didn’t just change how I make music—it changed how I see myself. And maybe that’s what growth really is: showing up scared and doing it anyway. If there’s something you’ve been putting off—whether it’s art, a business, a relationship, or just being more yourself—maybe this is your sign to start. You never know what could happen when you stop waiting and just go for it. I share the full story in this video—watch it here: https://youtu.be/PL8U6yWszjM
I tried to quit music… Also, I am now on TikTok and Instagram
I’ve thought about quitting music more times than I can count. Not in some big dramatic way—just quietly. The burnout, the silence, the weight of it—it got heavy. But in those quiet moments, God would always send a gentle reminder. A melody during prayer. A lyric I didn’t plan. And my wife—her quiet strength, her belief in me—was often all it took to keep me grounded. Every time I thought I was done, I realized I wasn’t. I had just paused.
I’ve been reflecting on all of this lately, and I put together a short video that captures the heart of it in a more personal way. If you’re walking through something similar—or just need a reminder not to give up—I’d love for you to watch it: https://youtu.be/dbgR1eLfZXs

in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight." — Proverbs 3:5–6
Also, quite a few people asked me to rejoin social media. I have decided to join TikTok and Instagram again. Please see the links below:
SONG ANNOUNCEMENT and Focusing on YouTube Shorts (For Now)
As I look ahead, my primary focus will be on creating YouTube Shorts. These quick videos have allowed me to output more content than ever before. I'm setting a goal to hit 1,000 subscribers on YouTube. Once I reach that milestone, I plan to expand my presence to other platforms like Instagram or TikTok.
In the meantime, I am excited to announce that my new song titled "Isolation Nation" will be released this Wednesday. This track represents my thoughts and feelings during these unprecedented times, and I can't wait for you all to hear it. Stay tuned for more updates as I continue to share my music and creative process with you.
2025: The Year I Get Serious
I’ve spent hours before stuck in front of what I’m supposed to do, doing absolutely nothing. When I’m making music, I get stuck picking sounds. I’ll spend hours flipping through presets instead of actually writing any music. Even at my day job in IT, I’ll put off a ticket just because it looks annoying or daunting. And the whole time, I know that taking just one small step would probably get me moving.
What I’ve learned is that I can’t wait to feel like doing something. I just have to start. And most of the time, that means taking a small, dumb step. Just a super small action — something small enough to break the resistance and help me ease into it.
I’ve heard people say you should do the hardest thing first in your day because it makes the rest of the day easier. But honestly, that’s never worked for me. I have to start with the easiest win I can find, and then ride that momentum into the stuff I’ve been avoiding.
2025 is finally the year I’m going to get consistent with content. I can’t wait around for motivation anymore. I have to show up. And I can’t wait to share this journey with you. Let me know if you struggle with this same issue.
Have a great day!
