The NiGHt BEFOre I met you, Desiree

"The Night Before I Met You, Desiree" tells the story of a young man grappling with his own behavior in his relationship with Desiree. He finds himself frustrated with his actions, realizing how much he has changed since being with her. Unlike his usual self, who easily walks away from toxic situations, he feels deeply invested in Desiree and fails to recognize how much he has adopted her habits.

During his lowest moments, he reminisces about his past as a reckless womanizer, contrasting it with his current passionate but loveless relationship. As he questions whether he will break free from this cycle or remain trapped in a sunk cost fallacy, the songs explore themes of self-reflection, personal growth, and the complexities of love and commitment.

Lost in the details

"Lost in the Details" tells the tale of a young man who becomes immersed in the intricacies of life while on a journey to discover his inner truth. Along the way, he begins to notice the transformations happening to those around him, revealing their true colors. He becomes attuned to the nuances that define each person—their virtues, flaws, and everything in between.

As he navigates through life's experiences and transitions, he finds himself unable to articulate his feelings or fully comprehend the significance of each moment until it passes. Unbeknownst to him, some people and situations hinder his personal growth without his realization.

Ultimately, the project delves into the theme of being lost in the minutiae of life, dealing with the challenges of growing up, and the evolution of one's identity.

My favorite record of mine: Paper Trail

"Paper Trail" stands as my favorite record among the music I've crafted over my seven-year journey as an artist. This track encapsulates the essence of survival, portraying the day-to-day struggles and intricacies of a young individual navigating life in the inner city. It delves into the psyche of the protagonist, showcasing the lengths he's willing to go to survive without causing harm to others.

The writing process for "Paper Trail" was remarkably swift. I penned the entire song in just 15 minutes, seated in my friend's apartment in Allston, Massachusetts. Meanwhile, my friend Newton crafted the beat on the same day. Despite encountering a setback when Newton accidentally spilled a gallon of water on his laptop, we persevered and eventually recorded the track.

Through "Paper Trail," I aimed to encapsulate the raw reality of urban life and the resilience required to overcome its challenges. This record holds a special place in my heart as a testament to my determination and creativity in the face of adversity.
