I don't confine myself to a single genre. My muse draws from every direction, and I follow where it leads using various AI technologies.
Hello, and thank you for listening. I don't really have a single genre that I aspire to create. It's mainly just what I'm feeling in the moment. My muse draws inspiration from every direction. My musical voyage takes me on journeys both internal and external, journeys whose results I can't always predict. For me, it's truly the journey that matters, not the destination. I let my creativity flow freely, allowing it to guide me where it will. I don't constrain myself to a particular style or genre; instead, I embrace the boundless possibilities of musical expression. Each new piece is an adventure, an opportunity to explore uncharted sonic territory. My aim is not to adhere to any preconceived notions of what my music "should" sound like. Rather, I strive to authentically channel the emotions, ideas, and perspectives that well up within me at any given time. The end result may defy easy categorization, but that's part of the beauty. I'm not beholden to any expectations other than my own artistic vision. So in short, I let my muse be my guide. I follow where it leads, embracing the unpredictable journey of musical creation (via various AI technologies). I hope you'll join me on these voyages, as I never know quite where they might take us. Cheers!

Story behind the song
"Forge Your Steel" is a tribute to the grind and the character built through hardship. I wanted the music to feel like a workshop heavy, rhythmic, and intentional using driving 140 BPM riffs to mirror the steady strike of a hammer. It’s about the fact that the 'easy road' doesn't produce anything real; strength is something you have to step into the fire to create. Lyrics and concept by Ward C Locke. Music produced using Suno AI.
Lyrics
Forge your steel! Forge your steel! Forge your steel, boy, forge your steel The easy road ain't nothing real Hammer falls, the sparks they fly That's how a man learns not to die Don't ask directions from a man who never left his porch Mountains don't move for your doubts, they just sit there like a torch Know where you're going before you take a step Mark it down, then climb until there's nothing left Pack light, leave what weighs you down Your backbone breaks when you leave your town Forge your steel! Forge your steel! The easy road ain't real Gotta forge your steel! Doors don't open till you earn the right Till you hammered through the wall all night They sit and wait while you figure out your hands The world don't owe you nothing, understand? Saying yes is easy when it sounds like fun Saying no protects what you've begun Every pitch screams for your attention Real path opens with intention Forge your steel! Forge your steel! The world you see depends on where you stand Figure it out with your own two hands! Wear your boots through Track your progress by the leather that you tore The road gets rough before it gets smooth That's what all that pain was for Stop asking questions, start your knowing Stop waiting for permission, start your going Mountains don't care about your plans They just sit there while you figure out your hands Breakthrough comes when you put in time Scraped through every inch of grime Forge your steel in the fire and heat Walk it out till you can't feel your feet Forge your steel! Forge your steel! The easy road ain't real Gotta forge your steel! When you stop asking Start your knowing When you stop waiting Start your going
