Kid Synister was my name on the cardboard in the 1980s — back when breaking was the battle and the floor was the arena. These days I channel that into jiu jitsu. Different mat, same fire.
My working life is in hospitality. But the songwriting has been there quietly the whole time, threading through every era.
I write the songs I want to hear. Some are for the people I love. Some are for whoever finds them. The catalog is evolving — the newest songs are finished by my own hands, eyes and ears in the studio, every instrument rebuilt, arranged, and mixed track by track. That’s the standard going forward. None of this is about posing as a musician — the writing and the craft are the reason. I’m in love with creative writing of poetry, lyrics and matching them with signature sounds of great songs — and now I produce my own music too.
I’m also open to partnerships with vocalists. If a song speaks to you and you want to make it your own, the inbox is open.

Where they live
Here’s where the songs live — on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.
For Jax and Gemma
“These are the songs that broke me open and made me a writer.”
Jax was my best friend for twelve years. Gemma was right there with him. When we lost them I wrote “Rainbow Bridge Between Us” — a version for each — and released the songs under their names because the songs were theirs.

There's No Me Without You
This song adds to “I Choose You,” written about my wife. She somehow is good at all the things I am not. Whether through sunshine or rain, there is no me without her.

Island Time
We often take our dogs for sunset walks on a hidden beach in Turks and Caicos. We see two photographers there (Enchanting Moments TCI) turning surprise proposals, weddings, and anniversary celebrations into special memories. This song is about the many happy couples we see through their work.

Beautiful by Nature
This is the slogan of the Turks and Caicos. I wrote this song to highlight how amazing the beaches and people are here. Potential visitors need to know how special this place is.

Let's Roll
Everyone who trains jiu-jitsu knows the storyline. Let’s go easy tonight — we both have injuries. But it never lasts. The intensity climbs, and soon we’re going close to all out. Then we come back and do it all over again at the next open mat.

Wish I Knew You
This is my story. I never met my Dad. It was not his fault. He sent subtle messages that he was proud of me. I had a chance to reach out before he died but did not act on it — my greatest regret. Thankfully, I have met my real Father and have felt His love over my life.
I wrote all of the lyrics (like with all of my songs) for Wish I Knew You. In addition, the music was fully performed in a real studio DAW like other industry professionals use. I re-made the entire melody too. Only the vocals are AI — and they are wonderful.

Already Said Yes
This song was inspired by my father-in-law. I was a break dancer with “no future” when he met me. I understand why he did not want me around his daughter, but I just would not go away. We were in love, and I worked hard to earn his approval.
I wrote 100% of the lyrics (like with all of my songs) for Already Said Yes. The music was fully performed in a real studio DAW like other industry professionals use. I re-wrote the melody especially for the guitar. Only the vocals remain performed by AI.

I Choose You
I wrote this song for my wife for our 37th anniversary. It has emboldened our love and commitment for each other — I will choose her every day for the rest of my life. My hope is that it becomes a monument of love for many other couples too.
While I write 100% of my own lyrics in every song, this is the first song that produced a high degree of human authorship in the music performance in a real studio DAW.

Small Words
I grew up with no father and a mother who had mental health issues. My grandmother (“Nan”) stepped in and loved me beyond anything I could have dreamed. I would give everything I have to sit down and listen to this song with her.

I am a Tear Down
I lost someone in recent months. It broke me. It forced me to evaluate who I was, and I was not happy with what I saw in the mirror. So I tore the old me down and started rebuilding from the ground up. I need Jesus to complete this work.

Oss
“Oss” is a powerful word in Brazilian jiu-jitsu with many meanings, all centered on respect and honor. This song honors jiu-jitsu and the meaning behind the “Oss.”
I don’t drink anymore, but after watching Drops of God and The Bear, I was inspired to recall my love of red wine — especially the great ones like Bordeaux, Brunello, Barolo, and Cabernet.
We all know the person who trash-talks others for laughs or favor from a group. They look cool in the moment, but they are really dishonoring themselves and hurting others. This is a song about them, with the hope they change.
There are so many broken families. Every generation of mine was broken, including my own. This is an apology song from my wife and me for not being all our kids wanted — and we are not giving up yet.
I never had a brother to play with growing up and always wanted one. As an adult, I met a friend through work who gradually became that brother. I can depend on him, and this song is for him.
We have all seen someone who is normally kind turn into a monster after drinking too much. Most of us have been that monster. This song was inspired by those experiences.
This song is for people who have been together a long time but have not yet made their vows. I believe marriage is God’s plan, and this song is about that next level of love.
I live full time now in Turks and Caicos. Nowhere is perfect, but the people here are kind. There is something special about them that is hard to put into words — this is my attempt. It is beautiful here too, which does not hurt.
We all have good friends where some silly thing came between us, and now we don’t even speak. This song is about setting pride aside and reaching out first to say sorry for your part in the break.
How does the best beach in the Caribbean not have a song? Well, it does now. This is a truly special place — I could spend every sunset for the rest of my life on this beach.
This song is not about me. It was written after a night at a party surrounded by people, a bit older, who had been through failed relationships and divorce. I felt empathy for them to find true love.
I have been training jiu-jitsu for over 10 years, and it is my passion. It has changed so much for me — confidence, fitness, self-defense, calmness under pressure. I am a better person because of this amazing art.
This villa in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos is a place very special to me. I have spent many days and nights working there, helping build it into a villa resort where memories are made. Where the ocean meets the sky!
The 80s funk was my jam growing up. This is the kind of song I would have wanted to hear in the genre of Lakeside and Cameo — written playfully to celebrate a birthday and life.
When I lost my little French Bulldog Jax, it broke me. Suffering this kind of loss made me re-evaluate life on a level I never imagined. This is the song that made me want to write more songs.
This gentle-hearted Doberman loved her brother Jax and everyone in her life. She was really special, and her loss was something I was not prepared for either.
I can also write custom original songs and marketing jingles for businesses — for a brand, a campaign, a milestone, or a place that means something. Alta Bella was one of mine: an original song, written and produced start to finish. If you want a song of your own, the inbox is open.

“Alta Bella”
An original song I wrote for a place that means a lot to me. I made the video too. This is the short version, paired with footage of the villa.
