At MyAirSongs, I’ve had the joy of helping others turn their personal stories into custom music. Alongside those collaborations, I also create my own original songs—songs that come from my experiences, my questions, my memories, and my heart. These are not just musical projects; they are personal reflections. Each song tells a story I’ve lived or witnessed. Each lyric is an emotion I’ve felt or tried to understand.

✍️ Why I Create Original Songs

For me, songwriting is a form of storytelling. Storytelling is a way of healing, remembering, and connecting. I create original songs because:

Some truths are better sung than spoken. Music allows me to express things I can’t always explain in words. It gives shape to feelings that live beneath the surface.
I believe in honoring stories. Whether it’s a story about love, migration, family, or freedom, putting it into song helps preserve it, elevate it, and share it with others.
Music keeps me grounded—and open. Writing and composing give me a way to stay connected to my roots while exploring new perspectives. It helps me grow.

💬 What These Songs Mean to Me

Every original song I write is a piece of who I am. Some are inspired by people I love. Others are built around memories I carry. A few come from imagined conversations with my younger self or with someone I’ve never met but somehow understand.

These songs mean:

Honesty — I write what feels real, not what sounds perfect.
Courage — Some stories are hard to share, but worth singing.
Belonging — Music is how I find my place in the world and how I offer a place to others.

You may find songs in English, Spanish, or French—sometimes even in the same verse. That’s a reflection of my voice, my heritage, and the way I move through the world.

🌱 What’s Ahead

This blog will be the space where I share these original songs—one at a time, each with its own backstory, lyrics, and inspiration. I’ll be opening the door a little wider with every post.

If you find something in these songs that speaks to you, please reach out, leave a comment, or share your own story. Music is meant to connect us.

🎶 The Power of Music

Music has a unique ability to transcend barriers. It speaks to emotions that words alone often fail to convey. When I write, I tap into this power. I aim to create songs that resonate deeply with listeners. The melodies and lyrics intertwine to form a tapestry of shared experiences.

In my journey, I’ve learned that music can heal wounds. It can bring people together, even when they come from different backgrounds. This is why I pour my heart into every song. I want to create a space where everyone feels welcome.

🌍 Embracing Diversity in Music

Diversity is at the heart of my music. I draw inspiration from various cultures and traditions. This blend enriches my songwriting process. It allows me to connect with a broader audience. Each song becomes a bridge, linking different stories and experiences.

I often find myself experimenting with different genres. This exploration keeps my creativity alive. It challenges me to grow as an artist. I believe that every song is an opportunity to learn something new.

📝 The Creative Process

Creating music is a journey. It begins with an idea, a feeling, or a story. I often jot down thoughts in a notebook. These snippets become the foundation of a song. From there, I develop melodies that capture the essence of the lyrics.

💖 Connecting Through Stories

Every song I write is a story waiting to be told. I believe that sharing these stories creates connections. When listeners hear my music, I hope they find pieces of their own experiences reflected in the lyrics.

Music has the power to evoke emotions. It can transport us to different times and places. This connection is what drives me to continue creating. I want my songs to resonate with others, to spark conversations, and to inspire.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for reading. These are my stories. These are my songs. And this is just the beginning. Because sometimes… there are feelings that words alone can’t carry—so I let the music speak for me. 🎶
