In UFO circles there is a theory called the Hitchhiker Effect. This is where a person has experienced something uniquely paranormal, often terrifying and the energy attaches itself to the person. The dark energy somehow follows them home. In the next few weeks strange things start happening around their house or to their family.  The effect can manifest as several different things like orbs of light floating through walls or silhouettes appearing and disappearing. The scariest is that of the hell hound, a black dog with red eyes randomly lurking in the distant darkness. One person even said it tried to attack them right in front of their house. This idea inspired me to write the song Hitchhiker Theory. To recreate one of these events I used the scariest music I could find with an unsettling voice to bring it to life. Prepare yourself for the most spine-chilling song on the album. Don't miss out on this song or this album! Persistent Existence release date July 10th, 2026 Pr...

My girlfriend and I were looking for something scary to watch then stumbled upon this series about a unique piece of property in the Utah desert where weird things are studied. If you have never watched the show, Skinwalker Ranch is a 500 acre property originally a part of the Navajo and Ute territories. It was later overseen by the US Government and is widely considered to be a nexus for paranormal research.

This turned out to be very inspirational for writing lyrics. The challenge I had was trying to figure out what genre would best describe and personify the weirdness of the ranch. After trying several genres I landed on musical theater. More specifically it is an overly enthusiastic teacher trying to explain the ranch to his st...

 

  When multiple whistleblowers and lawmakers stood on the Capitol steps demanding the declassification of UAP related files, it made me realize that we are coming to a pivot point in history. This very public call for disclosure had all the carrots to motivate politicians but it still lacked the sticks needed to force anything to happen. The only stick they have is public demand. This is where creatives can help. Movies, books and yes songs get people thinking about what is being kept from them. Public demand is often created through public awareness. When the press conference happened I was near the end of writing my first full-length album Persistent Existence but one thing was missing - a requiem. I knew what I had to do. I needed one song that summarized many of the events that happened since the start of the modern UFO era. I was inspired by two songs - We didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel and It's the End of the World as We Know It by REM. Both are fast paced, chock ...
