Contains

Dance Music – LIFT OFF!!! The trajectory looks good: I want you to dance with me / move your body and set your soul free / dance to the beat that makes you high / moving free it’ll make you fly!!!

Don’t Bring Me Down – If you look into the mirror, the mirror has two faces / I won’t let you bring me down / just move on out!

My Love – When I first met you, I could not believe, that you would be here by my side / I’ve had my ups and downs, but now you’ve come along / you give me happiness and joy that’s so divine

Miami Song – Miami’s beat is all that I can hear / it’s undulating rhythm fills my ears / it speaks of many lovers far and near / getting on their groove

Shout – It makes me want to move right / it makes me want to dance / it makes me want to shout right / it gets all in my hands / the praises that I’m giving / it’s all within my soul

The Dance (Original Demo Version) – Sitting home alone on a Friday night / I called up my friends cause I was feeling right / I got myself up, I headed for the door / down to the club where lonely people go / I went to dance

Believe –Have you ever been so down and out more down you cannot be / life’s many disappointments, Lord, you’ve had a few / throw your hands up to the sky for a clearer view / If you believe, you can be free / if you believe, it’ll set you free

Sick Puppy Love – have you ever been in love, so deep you can’t break free / sick puppy, heartbreaking love, oh, total ecstasy / Tell me why don’t you use me, when you know that I’m your slave / take my love, all I want back, is to serve you every way / tell me, is there something wrong with me

Over You: Freedom – When I first met you, I could not believe / I thought you were the love for me / you broke my heart , you abandoned me / and now you’re back into my life was I supposed to be / so happy that you’re here? No, my dear!

Dance Music (Trance Mix) – If you dance it could free your mind, free your mind as it takes control / dance music, trance music

Don’t Bring Me Down (The Good Bye Mix) – All you ever want is what you want / nothing is good for you / always thinking about yourself, no other’s point of view / always talking about nothing , think you’re smart, think you’re something / think you’ve really got it going on / that’s why I wrote this song

Up – Every day I struggle / I’m moving on / reaching up to be the best / I’m moving on / trouble comes to bring me down / I’m moving on / I’ve got to reach above the clouds / I’m moving on

A good, rhythmic beat with a sturdy bass and vocals that make you want to get up and dance.

Genre-melding: He mixes r&b, gospel, and house influences to come up with a sound that makes your body want to get up and move.

"I write lyrics that come from my heart and soul. I write about something I've been through or where I was at a particular moment, a special feeling that I experienced."

He writes bittersweet wisdom: LOVE HURTS / but it's good for you. A frenetic chase: You've got me RUNNING FOR YOUR LOVE. A wake-up call: TIME AFTER TIME he's left you lonely / why are you so sad?

Strident: I'm sick of all this bullshit / people living in the street / there's got to be another way / there's got to be a better day / THIS DAY SHALL BE.

Fervent: LOVE LETTER (DEAR LORD). Inspirational: PRAISE HIM! Puts your hands and feet into holy motion!

He gets close and shares some tender motion: LOVE UNLIMITED. Stays close. His mellow voice intones my DESTINY / is here for me / in your arms / is where I want to be.

He turns reminiscent: I remember a sunny day / a love so tender / oh how I remember / AUNTIE'S LOVE.

Then loose, low-down, & blues-tinged: MOMMA SAID / a piece of a man / is better than none at all. And scathing: But truth is very hard to find / coming from your kind / WHAT IS LOVE ? / a one-way street.

Finally uplifting, anthemic, soaring: I'm calling all STARS.
