This Is The Fork In The Road
You can stream music for free and let an algorithm decide what survives.
Or you can spend $1.99 and decide for yourself what deserves to exist.
Every independent artist disappears the same way — not with criticism, but with silence. If you’re here, you already care.
If one song here speaks to you — buy it.
That $1.99 tells me to keep going.
Start Here
Here’s a free listen—just to give you a feel for what I do. I’m not chasing trends or writing for the radio. I just try to say something real and stay out of the way long enough to let it come through.
Our Newest Release
Crack in the Cosmic Egg
This track explores the moment awareness breaks through conditioning—the realization that the world we inherit is not the whole story. It’s not about answers or enlightenment. It’s about the pressure that builds when belief systems start to fail and something inside refuses to stay contained.
Moody. Introspective. Slightly unsettling in the right way.
Why Broken World Songs Exists
Broken World Songs is a response — not to trends, but to the world as it actually feels.
These songs are written from observation, pressure, and reflection. About systems that shape us, freedoms that demand courage, and the quiet pull of something deeper that refuses to go away.
Every track starts with an idea worth holding onto, then becomes a song meant to last — not to persuade, but to stand. And if something here stands with you, don’t just stream it, own it.
Most songs are made to pass time. These weren’t. They started as questions that wouldn’t let me go. About truth. About identity. About where this world is headed.
I don’t release music because it’s trending.
I release it when the idea is finished — when the words are stable enough to carry weight.
Every track here began as pressure in my mind. Not melody. Not beat. But an idea.
And when the idea finally locks into place, the music arrives around it. That’s what you’re hearing. If something here resonates, it’s because we crossed paths inside the same question. And if you choose to own one of these songs instead of just streaming it, you’re not buying background noise. You’re supporting independent thought.
That’s the difference.
Own it.
Independent work doesn’t survive on applause. It survives on commitment.

The Shape Of Sound
Distortion isn’t chaos.
It’s pressure with a pulse.
The Shape of Sound is my first dive into hard rock / heavy metal — but it still carries the same psychological and philosophical lens that runs through everything I write.

Before The Sky Breaks
is an industrial, apocalyptic song written in response to a world locked in endless escalation—wars stacked on wars, machines built to decide life and death, and power concentrated behind distance, screens, and systems.

Some ideas never leave you.
Crack in the Cosmic Egg was written after reading—and re-reading—a worn, dog-eared copy of The Crack in the Cosmic Egg, a book that left a permanent impression and quietly resurfaced years later as a song.

About My Music
Every lyric, melody, and composition is written by me — 100%. I write as a poet generally about the signs of the times.
These lyrics were written years—often decades—before modern AI tools existed and have NEVER been generated, edited, rewritten, or enhanced by AI. I use AI voice technology (Controlla Voice) to clone and enhance my singing voice, allowing me to perform these songs as written despite longstanding vocal limitations. (In some cases I use a commercially provided and fully licensed AI voice). The words, meaning, and intent remain fully human—unchanged and uncompromised.
AI has made it possible to release songs that have lived in my head for most of my life, without altering authorship or artistic integrity. I hope you enjoy my artistry and my work.
