Took my time. Put my heart into it.
This one means a lot to me.

TORTOISE

Tortoise is my longest song to date and it was built that way on purpose.
This track isn’t about rushing. It’s about intent, pressure, and endurance.

The lyrics are rap-driven, packed with bars, but the emotion doesn’t live in the words alone. I built this song across four blended sections, using EDM bass, rock, and dubstep to carry the feeling underneath the lyrics so you don’t just hear the message, you feel it.

The sound is heavy.
The energy is deliberate.
The emotion is real.

Some sections move fast, some hit harder, and some give space to breathe. That contrast is intentional. The power of this song comes from how the lyrics and the sound work together the bass, the distortion, the drops — all telling the story alongside the words.

Tortoise was written from real experience. I work hard. I take pride in doing things right the first time. And still, I’ve been called “too slow” by people who only measure time, not effort. This song is for anyone who puts in real work, carries weight, and refuses to cut corners just to satisfy someone else’s pace.

Not lazy.
Not careless.
Just intentional.

This track is meant to stand for something. It’s powerful, emotional, and grounded in truth. If you’ve ever been underestimated because of your pace even while giving everything you have, this song is for you.

Yes, it’s long.
Yes, it’s layered.
And every part of it matters.

Listen closely not just to the lyrics, but to the sound. That’s where the story lives.

Tortoise is a multi-section journey about patience, pressure, and doing things right when the world only cares about speed. Built slow. Built with intention. Built to last.

Not everything powerful moves fast.
Some things are built to outlast.

You won’t just hear this one you’ll feel it. Headphones recommended.

So I’m in the middle of working on a brand new podcast segment with my assistant. We’re brainstorming, building ideas, getting excited about what’s coming next for the show. I have him on speaker, listening closely, fully locked in.

And right at the exact moment he says:

“You’re not thinking too big… you’re thinking exactly the right size.”

My mom walks out of her room with a brand new bra she just got in the mail and goes:

“So… what do you think? Does it fit right?”

💀💀💀

I LOST IT.

I don’t know how she planned it.
I don’t know how the timing was that perfect.
I don’t know how the universe lined that up so clean.

😂 You seriously can’t make this stuff up…

And honestly? This is exactly why I should probably have a camera hidden somewhere maybe in my glasses would be the safest bet so I can capture every random, hilarious moment like this. Because some of this stuff needs to be shared… and I can’t believe I missed it on camera.

I can tell you the story, but man… I wish I could’ve caught that one live 😅

Habits Rewritten

Habits Rewritten is an EP created for anyone who feels stuck in old patterns, trying to grow while constantly being pulled backward by familiar habits. This project isn’t about perfection, it’s about awareness, interruption, and forward motion.

Habits live in the brain. They’re chemical, repetitive, and automatic. Sometimes we don’t break habits by force, we break them by noticing them, pausing, and choosing differently. This EP was built around that exact process.

There are three sections to follow, each representing a phase of change. Listening in order is intentional the story unfolds step by step.

This EP is for anyone learning to breathe through discomfort, slow down without quitting, and keep moving even when growth feels hard.

Track 1: Override
Override represents the moment you catch yourself before slipping back into an old habit.

Sonically, this track leans into rock and EDM elements, heavier bass, sharper edges, and controlled intensity. The sound reflects tension and resistance: that internal battle between impulse and awareness.

The title Override means interrupting the automatic response. It’s the decision point when you recognize the pattern and consciously choose not to follow it. This track isn’t about fighting yourself, it’s about regaining control.

Track 2: Fractured Routine
Fractured Routine is the aftermath of change, when the habit is gone, but the new rhythm hasn’t fully formed yet.

This track moves into a more atmospheric EDM, emotional, and groove-based sound, blending deep electronic and house influences. It’s lighter than Override, but intentionally unsettled. The beat breathes. The space matters.

This song is slightly longer than a typical track on purpose. Toward the end, the focus shifts more into rhythm, bass, and sound textures, allowing listeners to sit with the music and feel the adjustment rather than rush past it. The extended moments are meant to let the emotion settle and the new pattern form naturally.

The title reflects that moment:
The routine is fractured but you are not.

Track 3: Momentum
Momentum is the release, the lift, and the forward drive.

This track brings everything together, house, EDM, disco, dance, dubstep, hip-hop, and rap elements creating an upbeat, high-energy sound meant to move the body while strengthening the mindset.

Momentum isn’t about rushing. It’s about consistency. It’s the power of small steps repeated. The confidence that builds when you don’t quit.

This track ties all three titles together:
Override the habit.
Fracture the routine.
Build momentum.

Habits Rewritten is meant to be felt as much as it’s heard.

Some of the songs may run a little longer than expected, and that’s intentional. The extended sections give space for the beats, bass, and sound design to speak just as much as the lyrics do. If you let yourself sit with the rhythm, you’ll feel the story unfold through sound as well as words.

This EP is a reminder to:
• breathe
• take it slow
• stay patient with yourself
• and not quit, even when it’s hard

Change doesn’t happen all at once.
Habits don’t disappear overnight.
But with intention, space, and momentum they can be rewritten.

Thank you for listening.
I hope you enjoy this project as much as I loved creating it.

HYENA is a high-energy, playful EDM/Dubstep track built for the dance floor, the laughs, and the chaos in the best way possible.

This one started as a 2.5 minute idea… and turned into a 4+ minute party because I couldn’t choose between two different dubstep beats, so I blended them together and built a smooth transition to make it one full ride. Along the way, I layered in laughing hyena sound effect clips, bells, and playful audio moments to create a story and little “movie-moment” details to make it feel like a whole scene, not just a drop.

You’ll hear a bell hit at the beginning, and when I was testing the track with my mom, she said it reminded her of Madagascar and the penguins like “Smile and wave, boys…” 😭💀 so I leaned into that goofy energy. The bell comes back at the end too, and I finish the track with a cartoonishly loud hyena laugh (Lion King vibes) because this song is NOT supposed to be serious, it’s supposed to be FUN.

Why the title HYENA? Because my laugh is loud. Obnoxious. Unapologetic. My laugh is… a lot. 😅 I’ve been told for years I laugh like a dying laughing hyena, loud, wild, and kinda obnoxious, but people also say they love it. Now I get told I sound like a crackling dolphin, and the funniest part is… real hyenas actually make that crackly sound too. So yeah, turns out I really do laugh like a hyena. And honestly? People love it. HYENA fits perfectly.

This song is about owning that energy. Laughing loud. Letting go. Jumping around. Being ridiculous together. That moment on the dance floor where everyone forgets everything else and just laughs like hyenas.

The cover art says it all:
A hyena DJ, live on stage, surrounded by lights, bass, and a crowd—because that’s me. I’m the laughing hyena behind the decks, hyping the room, pulling people in, and reminding everyone that sometimes all we really need… is to laugh.

This track is for the dance floor: jump, rage, laugh, and go full HYENA MODE with me. If you’ve ever needed a reminder to stop being so serious and just let the joy out, this is it.

So turn it up. Jump around.
And laugh like hyenas. 🐺🔥
Turn it up. Laugh louder. HYENA MODE. 🐾🔊

✨ My 2025 Highlight Reel ✨

If 2025 handed out awards, I’d get:
🏆 Most Likely to Turn Life Into a Remix

And honestly… that tracks.

2025 was the year I learned how to turn everything into something, tire trouble, sauce recipes, DJ drama, late-night edits, business pitches, podcast ideas, job stress, job changes… into chart-worthy bangers, real plans, and podcast gold, sometimes all in the same week… or let’s be real, the same day.

I deepened my DJ and producer journey crafting bold EDM tracks, experimenting with vocals and sound effects, and shaping my own sound. Late nights editing tracks at 2AM weren’t burnout they were sparks. The same spark that builds songs… and empires. 🎧🔥

This was also the year my Tootie’s Social House vision grew up. What started as a dream turned into real structure community ideas, sponsorship concepts, event planning, and a clear direction for a space built on rhythm, connection, and creativity. Community isn’t built by noise it’s built by rhythm, and I kept setting it. 🏠✨

Behind the scenes? I was grinding through two different jobs, navigating stress, frustration, long hours, job changes, and those moments where you ask yourself “What am I even doing?”
Balancing regular work while still showing up for my career, my passion, and my future wasn’t easy but I didn’t quit. I kept learning. I kept creating. I kept moving.

2025 taught me a lot:
• Treat mistakes like remixes, not failures
• Don’t force the tempo the right beat will find you
• If you feel stuck, rearrange the lights… not the dream
• Laughter is fuel
• Growth is messy and worth it

I’m proud of how hard I worked.
Proud of how many hats I wore.
Proud I kept grinding even when it was heavy.

Here’s to the chaos, the creativity, the long days, the late nights, the job shifts, the beats, the ideas, and the belief that it’s all building something bigger.

Still remixing. Still dreaming. Still leading the rhythm. 🎶✨

As I step into the new year, I’m doing the same thing just bigger, bolder, and more intentional. I’m not giving up. I’m still working hard, still grinding, and still fully committed to Tootie’s Social House. A lot of what I’m building, creating, and planning is going straight toward that vision because I believe in it, and I believe in myself. I’m continuing to grow my business, push my music, get my podcast back up and running, and step into new opportunities. 2026 is already stacking up with private events, more shows, and bigger moves behind the scenes. The goals are big, the focus is locked in, and the work doesn’t stop.
Let’s go. Let’s get it done. 🎶🔥💥

Sovereign is about reclaiming your power.

The word sovereign means being self-governed. Owning your voice, your boundaries, your energy, and your worth without asking permission. This track was created during a season where I realized how often I give everything to everyone else, sometimes at the cost of myself.

This song is for anyone who’s tired of being drained. For anyone who loves deeply, shows up constantly, and forgets to put themselves first.

I made SOVEREIGN as a reminder that choosing yourself doesn’t mean you stop caring. You can still love. You can still be kind. You can still be you.
But you don’t have to burn yourself out to prove your value.

Musically, SOVEREIGN blends EDM, dubstep, rap, and alternative rock textures to reflect that internal battle, the push and pull between who I used to be and who I’m becoming. It carries raw emotion, heavy bass, risers builds, and rap energy that speaks confidence, strength, and self-ownership.

I’ve always been someone who feels responsible for everyone around me. Sometimes I put myself first and then I fall back into old patterns of overgiving, overthinking, and carrying too much. This track is about breaking that cycle. It’s about learning that your energy is sacred, and not everyone deserves unlimited access to it.

SOVEREIGN isn’t about ego.
It’s about growth. It’s about standing tall in who you are , unapologetically.

If you’re in a season where you’re done shrinking, done explaining, and ready to refocus on yourself… this one’s for you.

Desaturated is a song for anyone moving through the seasons of life, the highs, the lows, and everything in between. It speaks to the quiet weight of sadness, loneliness, and emotional numbness that many of us experience, especially during darker seasons, without ever saying the word depression.

To be desaturated means to lose color to feel muted, grey, drained but not gone. The light hasn’t disappeared; it’s just covered. This song uses that feeling as a metaphor for those moments when joy fades, emotions feel heavy, and everything feels quieter inside.

At its core, Desaturated is storytelling. It’s a reminder that being down doesn’t make someone negative or broken it makes them human. We all have moments where we pull back, feel alone, or struggle to stay afloat. In those moments, we don’t need to be fixed we need to be understood. We need presence, patience, and love through the lows just as much as through the highs.

This track is for anyone who’s ever felt everything and nothing at the same time and for anyone who’s learning that even in the grey, they are still worthy of being seen, stayed with, and loved.

New Year Ignite is built for that moment when the clock is about to reset and the energy shifts. All about hitting reset and turning the energy up. It’s an upbeat, bass-driven track made for movement for jumping, dancing, and celebrating everything the new year brings.

This song is about letting the past fall away and making room for what’s next. The old moments, the old weight, the old limits, they stay behind. What comes forward is fresh energy, new momentum, and a spark that keeps you moving.

With heavy bass, driving rhythm, and an upbeat pulse, New Year Ignite is meant to light the night up whether you’re on the dance floor, in the car, or counting down with your people. No looking back. No slowing down. Just forward motion and fresh starts.

I’m dropping this track a few days before New Year’s with the hope that it finds its way into playlists, parties, and countdown moments because this is the kind of track meant to be played live on New Year’s, right when the energy peaks and the celebration begins.

Turn it up.
Jump in.
Ignite the new year.

Jingle Bass is back this time with a darker, heavier twist. After the House Edition, I wanted to flip the vibe and bring something for the dubstep & bass lovers who like their holiday music loud, gritty, and unapologetically heavy.

This track was originally planned as a collab, but sometimes things don’t line up and the music still deserves to be heard. So here it is anyway.

Think dark Christmas energy, heavy bass, dubstep drops, and still just enough sleigh bells to remind you it’s the holidays 🎄🔔 Perfect for anyone who likes their Christmas music with some edge.

Since it’s Christmas Eve, I wanted to give you a little sneak peek and drop this one as an early holiday gift. 🎁 One more Christmas track will be dropping tomorrow on Christmas Day, so stay tuned.

Sorry it’s a very short one..lol
