Behind the 1st single: “When The World Says No” (Dropping 12/1/25).

In May of 2025 I had gotten into a bad motorcycle accident (more on that later). Prior to that, I got let go from my last contract copywriting gig in May of 2023. A career I’ve loved doing for over a decade.

From then, to about December of 2024 I applied to hundreds upon hundreds of jobs (to no avail), without any unemployment money to fall back on — because the prior year I didn’t earn enough. Which also meant, I barely got anything from any sort of medical leave.

Only when I was able to get a holiday job in a mail room, after deciding to put my copywriting career on ice, was when I had some sort of hope for any income. But it was barely enough to live on and couldn’t do that sort of physical labor anymore (because of my recent motorcycle accident).

So I picked up my acoustic guitar again and started writing again. But this time, it wasn’t stopping. Almost a dozen or so songs, just like When The World Says No, came out within just a few short weeks.

My one love stopped. And another began.

For those that don’t ride, it’s hard to explain what sort of therapy and community riding a motorcycle brings. At least, for a guy like me, whose prior copywriting career has grown significantly more and more difficult to keep doing. Especially when I started working with bigger and bigger brands that kept destroying my creative ideas and self esteem.

And so, I’ve been fiddling around on my acoustic, as a way to escape everything I’ve been going through, with the first little guitar and vocal melody that starts the song off.

Like most initial ideas start, I recorded the main acoustic guitar and vocals into my phone and let it sit there for a bit before coming back to it, time and time again, to make it an actual song.

In a nutshell, this song is an amalgamation of all I’ve been through the last number of years. All the no’s. All the ghosting (from employers). All the things that were slowing trying to bring me down. And was pretty successful at doing.

My hope?

It’s that this very song does for you, what it does for me.

Inspire you to keep going. Despite, when (or how many times) this crazy world says no to you..
