Down Not Out
Towards the end of 2023, my wife and I decided that our family starting journey was not over. After 7 years of continued loss through miscarriage, IVF treatments, and even a new path through surrogacy - we want to continue trying. This song is about picking yourself back up with renewed hope.
-
In The Sky
This song was originally about finding inner piece. It eventually evolved and took on additional meaning for me when we lost our little girls. One of my favorite albums is "The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place" by Explosions in the Sky because, to me, it resembles both tranquility and turmoil; how...
-
Angels With Us
This song is dedicated to Avery and Kaylee. They were to have been born in January 2024 and this song was supposed to be a happy one. God called them back early at 15 weeks during pregnancy. My wife and I decided to memorialize their ashes into a painting of a beach we now hang in our home. This...
-
Worth The Squeeze
I came to a point at my new job where I remembered how good I was at my work, my career. I saw my value and potential impact right away, but it was finding my groove, seeing my route, that took some time to clear up for me. My mindset at this point is about meeting the moment. It dawned on me…

Pick Your Poison
I really wasn't enjoying my new job, even at 9 months in. I realized I was now struggling with some guilt for leaving my last job, and maybe even due to some imposter syndrome being at the new job. My mind was beating itself up for leaving a bad situation for another "bad situation". I was...
-
New Rat Race
So I'm at my new job now and, man, is it different! The transition hasn't been easy for me; new office, new people, no friends, new everything. I learned that I was accustomed to my ways of working and while I know that I left my last situation, anticipating the amount of personal adjustment...
-
The Second Coming
This one is meant to be uplifting because its about rising again. To be written off at one point in time doesn't mean you can't come back with renewed determination. I left my previously employer of 8 great years because it took a turn during my last 2 years. I found a new job that had promise…

Above The Deep
This one is about finding solace in troubling times; ascending from the dark. When work and life were stressing me out, both hitting me down pretty hard, but what might feel hopeless at one point in time can be in the rear view at another. One can't control everything, but enough control to keep...
-
The Last Ride
This song is my anthem for the legacy of a career I had at a previous employer. Despite how things ended, it remains the most memorable experience I've had working anywhere, primarily because of the amazing people I forged with during those 8 years. With what we did as a team, we know not many…

Make The Climb
My work life was certainly having its darker days, but life was also taking its toll. This song is for myself, my wife, and anyone dealing with painful loss of a loved one. For me and my wife, we've had 7 miscarriages in trying to start our family. One for each year we've been married. This side…

All Head Hunters
Naturally, I began looking for a new job. A new place to work. I felt like my time had come to an end at my current employer. Even though the new struggles could have been looked at as new challenges, I wanted to look out for my sanity and dignity. I wanted to feel appreciated.
-
House Of Vino
This one is about honing in on my strengths. The darker side about it is when I was unhappy at work, I began to refocus on the work that makes me happy. I had a new role that stretched my skills, but as that output was not acknowledged, I went back to the kind of work that my previous reputation...
-
Fall From Grace
This one is about office politics and the feeling of being undervalued despite your contributions. I was fortunate to have built a proud legacy at a previous employer, but when an organizational change happened, I felt overlooked with my ideas subverted.
-
We Are Legend
Life lesson: I remember a hard time that I had at work. I became defensive, was ultimately circumvented, and I felt disregarded. If you know what you bring to the table, know what you can do, and know what you’ve accomplished, then you should absolutely stand up for yourself / your team. Just do…
more -
Steel Cage Match
This song is about getting right back up after a knock down. The goal should be to prove anything to yourself first before wanting to to prove anything to anyone. When you are good with YOU, then hitting all of your targets is all that your haters will see (and feel).
-
Cleanse Out Toxin
This song is about ridding yourself of things that don't make you happy whether its people, bad habits, or your living/work environment. In Native American culture, there is a purification ceremony where one sits in a sweat lodge while others pray and sing for that individual. The idea being,...
-

Pass The Torch
My team and I felt a strong sense of survivor's guilt from 2020 layoffs. For me, this tracks represents our ability to adapt and take on new things at work, to which in 2021, we absolutely proved that we can succeed together.
-
Find Your Beach
The takeaway on this track is that: as devastating as the pandemic has been to the lives of many, it's our own resilience that allows for our return to a sense of normalcy. If you're reading this, you're doing a great job.
-
Leave Of Absence
As trying as some of some life events can be, this track represents the beauty of two individuals choosing to take their next steps together on their journey. This one is actually not about me or wifey, but others in my life that I admire.
-
Any Given Sunday
I bowed out of a long-time fantasy football league with old friends recently, this track commemorates them. This track is also symbolic for adversity everywhere. Anything can happen; anything goes.
-
Ladybug Was Here
This is another one I dedicate to wifey. Along our journey together, we tend to notice ladybugs and superstition believes that ladybugs are good luck. When we see a ladybug, we talk to the universe and try to do right by it.
-
Add To Cart
Like many, the pandemic has kept wifey and I indoors much more than before. And also like many, our tendency to shop online has increased to cope. Retail therapy is definitely something, and this track represents its craziness all-around.
-
Like Fine Wine
Another year around the sun, and there are numerous sayings about aging. For me, this track represents my imagination for song; my creative process. I long to make songs with deeper meaning now.
-
Virtual Happy Hour
Just doing the best we can with what we can do. This was like going out for a lot of us.
-
Say Their Names
This track represents all of my thoughts and feelings about the social injustice and unrest in America. Still can’t fully express them in any other way.

Deez Funky Soundz [V-No + THNX]
Being apart from many friends and family in 2020, I found myself reflecting a lot on who I truly wanted to associate myself with. Listen to more from THNX at https://soundcloud.com/thnxmusic

Un Caffe Americano
Wifey and I began starting our work days on the patio together during Stay-At-Home / Shelter-In-Place. Her with tea, me with coffee. And missing our favorite places in Italy.
-
Work From Home
In 2020, missing the outdoors was too easy - especially when the crib has no A/C. This one reminds me of a day at the beach in the summertime.
-
Into Vanity Fair
Dedicated to my amazing wife. You have all of my admiration for your strength, grace, and beauty in these trying times of our journey. We are forever each other's support. I love you.
