Over[Story]

Frictionpunk is my thing - it's Solarpunk ebullience tinged with sobriety and infused with embers.

I live on a little island in the Caribbean that got smacked hard by a hurricane almost 3 years back. That kind of trauma really got the creative wheels turning and especially in the weeks after when we had no internet and no electricity. Luckily I had a stash of exercise books and pens that survived so I could jot down my thoughts, some of which became lyrics.

In one way or another I've been a wordsmith. I love songs with a story - not necessarily ballads - just another slant on life. Inspiration for a song strikes at any moment - there's a beach nearby where we walk our dogs in the afternoon, and I've had to write words in the sand with a piece of de

I unapologetically use AI - have done for 3 years now - to enhance my writings and convert them into sound, but I am firmly in the directors chair, mixing things up and putting my very passionate human hearted stamp on it.

My vision for my songs is that they touch people; that they stay with people - would absolutely go mad if I heard my songs being sung or listened to on a public bus or anywhere for that matter! - and that they entertain.

As mentioned in my Bio - been wordsmithing since teenage years, but never got the calling to convert my poems and stories into music. It took a hurricane to knock me onto this path - that and a tool like AI. If un
idled enthusiasm is a quality worth including in a CV - here it is.

I use both AI art and music generators in my work. I often find an image will trigger a story and then get converted into music and it's why I created my rather unique Art and Song e-greeting cards. The visuals and music make people cry happy tears! It really touches them.
