A little 90s rock, quirky twang, a whole lotta attitude.

From the writer

The Story

For the Genre Mutts, Misfits & Walking Contradictions

I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of my life trying to figure out what kind of person I am.

An introvert who loves performing. A rule follower with a rebellious streak. Someone who craves routine but gets bored with repetition.

Discovering I was AuDHD in my 40s explained a whole lot about those contradictions.

And somewhere along the way, I realized I’d been doing the exact same thing with my music.

Trying to pick a lane.

Country? Rock? Blues? Americana?

Yes. 😂

Walking Contradiction is my little rebellion against all of it.

It’s a nostalgic, 90s-inspired country-rock song celebrating all the different sides of ourselves, especially the ones we’ve spent years trying to make fit neatly into somebody else’s box.

Because maybe the goal was never to become easier to categorize.

Maybe it was to become more ourselves.

The Heart of the Song

Too rock for country. Too country for rock.
Right where I belong.

For the black sheep, the genre mutts, the late bloomers,
and everyone who’s ever been told to pick a lane.

Sounds like…?

Most hearted song of the sneak peek

132 people heard it first and told me who it reminded them of.

  • Man! I Feel Like a Woman. Makes me want to dance and strut my stuff!

    Teri
  • Tuesday Night Music Club. Also shades of Harry Nilsson, I put the lime in the coconut.

    A first listener
  • That Don’t Impress Me Much. Knowing your story, the chorus totally says it all.

    Cynthia
  • Somewhat of a blues vibe pop thing going on. Great sassy lyric!

    Paul
  • Road-worn and lived-in, but somehow still fresh on its feet.

    Allison
  • A very smooth way to make the listener think while enjoying the upbeat nature of the song.

    Kealii
  • I set the table and flip it. It makes me feel empowered, actually.

    A first listener
  • Flirty, bluesy country. The chorus is super catchy and the friction line is great.
