Finding My Voice That I've Lost

A Dream That Refused to Die...

Music has been the soundtrack to my life for as long as I can remember. But chasing a dream in music isn’t a straight road it’s a winding path filled with detours, setbacks, and lessons that hurt as much as they heal.

Back in 2013, I thought I had found my way. I released a rap album my first real project, something I believed at the time would put me on the map. But looking back, I realize I wasn’t creating from a place of truth. I was following a trend, chasing what others thought I should be.

I poured myself into it, pushed the project, lined up performances, and tried to drown out the doubt. But the criticism hit harder than I expected. Every negative word felt like a dagger to something I had built with fragile hands. The album didn’t take me where I hoped. Instead, it led me to one of the darkest places in my life a place of silence, where I questioned everything about myself as an artist and even as a person.

When you love something as deeply as I love music, the absence of it feels unbearable. After that first album, I felt like I had failed. I stopped writing. I stopped recording. I carried shame because I thought maybe I wasn’t good enough.

There were nights I sat alone replaying the beats of songs I never finished, lyrics scribbled in notebooks that I couldn’t bring myself to sing. The silence became heavier than the music ever was.

But in that silence, I realized something important: I wasn’t meant to rap. That wasn’t my voice. My real passion was to sing to tell stories through melody, to pour emotion into every note, to let my voice carry the weight of what words alone couldn’t say.

The problem was, life didn’t make it easy. I had no studio access. No industry connections. No big financial backing. Family support was scarce, and most of my friends didn’t take my dream seriously.

Still, I couldn’t let it go. I practiced relentlessly day after day, year after year. I studied the greats, mimicking artists who inspired me until my own voice started to break free. Every car ride became a vocal rehearsal. Every shower was a concert. My room was a stage even when no one was watching.

There were times I thought about giving up completely. Times when bills piled up, responsibilities weighed me down, and music felt like an impossible luxury. But no matter how many times I tried to walk away, music kept pulling me back. It was the one thing that made me feel alive, even when the world made me feel invisible.

One moment changed the trajectory of everything: my sister saw the fire I was still holding inside. She bought me a small studio kit.

It wasn’t much compared to a professional setup just the basics. But to me, it was everything. It meant someone believed in me enough to invest in my dream. That little studio setup became my sanctuary. I recorded late nights after long days, whispering into the mic like I was confessing secrets I’d held for years.

The quality wasn’t perfect. Some tracks were rough, raw, even broken. But they were real. And for the first time, I wasn’t rapping because I thought that’s what people wanted I was singing because it was what my soul demanded.

Fast forward to 2025. After years of trial, error, and persistence, I finally pulled everything together. I stepped into recording with a clear vision: to make music that reflected me my pain, my passion, my journey.

The result is R&B Love Notes.

This album isn’t just a collection of songs it’s a diary. Each track carries pieces of me: the heartbreaks, the moments of doubt, the times I almost quit, and the times I found the strength to keep going. It’s for the kid who grew up without a studio, the artist who felt unseen, and the dreamer who kept believing even when no one else did.

Why This Album Matters

For me, R&B Love Notes is proof that no matter how many times life tries to silence you, your voice will always find its way back if you fight for it.

It’s more than music it’s my story. A story about resilience. A story about never letting go of the thing that makes your heart beat faster. A story about turning pain into melody and struggle into harmony.

And now, it’s time for me to share it with the world.

A Personal Note...

This journey hasn’t been easy. There were nights I almost gave up, times I felt invisible, and moments where silence felt louder than music. But I kept going. I kept fighting. And now, after years of struggle, setbacks, and resilience, I’m finally able to share a piece of my soul with the world.

My album R&B Love Notes isn’t just music it’s my story of triumph over doubt, pain, and the weight of silence. Every note carries the fight it took to get here.

If my journey resonates with you, I’d be grateful for your support. I'm not asking for money but just to Listen to this album it’s about standing with me, about acknowledging the power of never giving up on a dream.
