Creating music is a journey filled with inspiration, creativity, and countless stories. Each original song carries a unique narrative, reflecting the emotions, experiences, and thoughts of the artists behind them. In this blog post, we will take you behind the scenes to explore the stories that shaped our original songs, revealing the creative process and the moments that inspired them.

The Spark of Inspiration
Every song begins with a spark of inspiration. This could come from a personal experience, a conversation, or even a fleeting thought. For example, the song "A Parachute Called Freedom" was born from a thought about living life in the country, about the simple life and how just simply thanking God for the things we do everyday and not letting the world push us to something we are not.
Personal Experiences
Many of my songs draw from personal experiences. The track "I Want To Fly" describes how we all want to reach higher but sometimes feel grounded. I want to fly reminds us to always strive for more and to shoot for the things that matter the most.
The Creative Process
Once the initial inspiration strikes, the creative process begins. This phase can vary greatly in the time it takes to get the feel that you want. It often involves brainstorming, writing, and refining the sound that I am looking for.
Writing Lyrics
Writing lyrics is often one of the most challenging yet rewarding parts of creating a song. The lyrics must convey emotions and tell a story while fitting the melody.
Composing Music
The music composition process is equally important. The melody, harmony, and rhythm all work together to create the song's overall feel. I experiment with different sounds and arrangements until I find the perfect sound that I am looking for.
Producing the Song
After the songwriting process is complete, it's time to put it together. This is where I currently use AI to help me produce the song. My vocals struggle at best, so I use technology to help me reach others in my music.
The Story Behind Each Song
Every song has its own story, and these narratives often resonate with me deeply. My hope is that the songs I write connect with you.
The Impact of Our Songs
The stories behind my original songs extend beyond the creative process. They connect with me and hopefully you will find a personal connection as well. Providing you with comfort, inspiration, or a sense of belonging.
Connecting with Audiences
Music has the power to connect people, my aim is to create that bond.
Conclusion
Behind every original song lies a rich tapestry of stories, emotions, and experiences. From the initial spark of inspiration to the final recording, each step in the creative process contributes to the song's narrative. As we continue to create and share my music, I invite you to join me on this journey. Listen to my songs, reflect on their stories, and let them inspire you in your own life.
Music is not just about notes and lyrics; it's about connection, understanding, and the shared human experience. So, what story will you tell through your own journey?
