The Journey
Some stories take
years to become songs.
I found success young and wasn't afraid to take risks. Some worked out. Others didn't. Along the way, I made mistakes, lost people I cared about, and eventually watched the life I'd built fall apart. It taught me something I've never forgotten. What takes years to build can change faster than you ever imagined.
I rebuilt my life. Years later, the pandemic brought some of those feelings back as the world changed almost overnight. This time, I started writing. Putting things on paper helped me make sense of where I'd been, what I'd learned, and what still mattered.
Eventually, I left New York, the only home I'd ever known, and moved to Miami. I traded pavement for palm trees, but I kept writing. What started during a difficult time had become a part of my life. And somewhere along the way, the stories changed too. They became less about who I'd been and more about who I'd become.
These stories became lyrics.
And my lyrics began to sing.

I used to take risks…
I used to take risks
I didn’t give a shit
I just wanted to win
I remember how it felt
I remember who I was
I didn’t think about tomorrow
I was living just because
Had nothing to lose
So I went all in
I used to take risks
I used to take risks
I didn’t give a shit
I just wanted to win
I used to take risks
I used to take risks
I’m not gonna be the one
To let you go and have that fuuuuun
Somewhere down the road
Every move I made came with a cost
Life made me pay that bill
Till I learned what could be lost
But I remember how it felt
Yeah, I remember who I was
And I’m not gonna spend my life
Watching everybody have the fun
I used to take risks
I used to take risks
I didn’t give a shit
I just went all in
I used to take risks
I used to take risks
I’m not gonna be the one
To let you go and have that fuuuuun
I didn’t forget how it felt
I just learned what it costs
I didn’t forget who I was
I just learned what could be lost
I used to take risks
I used to take risks
I’m not gonna be the one
To let you go and have that fuuuuun
I used to take risks
I used to take risks
I didn’t give a shit
I just went all in
I used to take risks
I used to take risks
I didn’t forget how it felt
I just learned what it costs
I used to take risks…
I used to take—
Coming Soon
The next stories are already taking shape.
Unreleased titles carry the MYTHICMODE code: letters and numbers until release day.
The Beginning
Human stories.
Digital sound.
01 — THE STORIES
I set out to write a book. It became a collection of short stories drawn from observations and experiences worth capturing. Music wasn't part of the plan. Each story simply wanted to sing.
02 — THE TURN
Years later, one story became a song. A real-life frustration had me humming a melody, so I turned the experience into lyrics. Suddenly, a story written for the page had a new voice.
03 — THE EXPERIENCE
That's when I discovered the rule: the story comes first. The genre follows. My production experience helps me choose the vocals and style that give each story its own musical identity.
04 — THE PROCESS
Then I bring it to life. I write the lyrics, guide the sound, generate possibilities, listen, select, adjust, and refine. AI gives me possibilities. My judgment decides what becomes MYTHICMODE.
MYTHICMODE
AI Sound.
Real Human Stories.
