This past week I worked on a socially conscious song that will either be part of the Bring Back The Love album or be released as a standalone.

🎧 Listen to the snippet here:

This is how I process what’s happening in our world. I take in what I see and feel, and I put it into lyrics and melody. Sometimes it becomes questions. Sometimes it becomes petitions. But it always gives me peace knowing the Creator will walk with me, and with us, through these times. 💎💎💎

The chorus says:

I’m counting on you now to guide me
I’m praying hard for you to show me
I’m trusting that you will protect me
and walk me through these times

Not only me but friends and family
and those that feel they’re in the valley
Lead us with your loving light please
and walk us through these times

🧡💪🏽

#TBT to one of my early shows in Portland. Back then I had no idea the songs I’d write would grow and one day reach so many of you. Your encouraging words and support keep this Queen moving! I’m grateful for every one of you still walking with me and rocking with this life music. 🙏🏽🎵🧡

I’m still here because the hand of Yah been looking over me the whole time. 🙌🏽

Hey Music Fam! Ever feel like your schedule is just too packed to make room for your creative work or marketing yourself?

I used to feel the same way, until I found a simple method that helped me stay consistent and focused, even when I had almost no time.

It’s called The Birds & Candles Method.

You may be juggling a job, school, parenting, or all the above, but this method helps you carve out just one purposeful hour a week to either create or share your gifts.

I put the full guide plus a simple worksheet together for you (and it’s free). You’ll walk away with a solid plan and that sweet feeling of doing what you’re really called to do. 🧡 Hope this helps!

Hey Music Fam 🎶

I’m thinking about starting a weekend livestream where we can spend an hour together learning and getting inspired. Each week I’ll share what I’ve come to know over my years as a music artist, along with stories and experiences that can give you tips and help guide you on your own path. You know I can veer off topic sometimes, but hey, that’s part of the plan. 😎💎💎💎

It will be a space for music artists, 💫 music fans, and anyone else who wants to hear more about my story and connect with other uplifting people. A spot here on YouTube where we can keep our heads up while learning something new.

I believe weekends will be the best option for me to go live with you when most people are also off work and available.

Would you support it if I started this on weekends? Would you come? Let me know by voting or leaving me a comment, and if there’s enough interest, we’ll make it happen and #BBTL (Bring Back The 🧡).

Here's a throwback of me caught up in a moment. Mid-thought. Mid-dream. A songwriter is who I've always been.

This photo was snapped in '96, sitting on my mom and papa Walt's couch with a pen in hand and the Walkman turned all the way up. I don't even remember who took it, but they caught something special. I didn't know back then where this writing gift would take me, only that it kept me going.

Now, it's a joy to help others create the songs they were meant to make, especially in times like these where people are searching for answers and hope.

I offer in-depth song feedback for artists looking to polish their songs, custom songwriting based off your idea, and a hook // melody service to make sure your choruses pop and stay stuck in the listener’s head (in a good way).

Feel free to visit my 'SESSIONS' page and hear from creatives I've worked with and helped with their projects.

Happy music making!

Mapping the music one fret at a time. I’m a visual learner and this is my visual roadmap to getting the notes down. All 6 strings, all 12 frets.

I never knew learning guitar was this interesting or intricate. It feels like a form of science with so many cool combinations that reveal different types of sound.

Anyone else learning a new instrument right now? If so, which one and how’s it going so far?
