My first album, “Scootiebootie” is out now!!!
I finished this project two years ago and since then have broken it up - releasing three EP’s (Phases, Vol. 1, 2, & 3).

I almost didn’t put these out in the album format given the sonic variation. However, this variation was on purpose. I wanted to experiment with different genres and production styles. I was mostly just learning and exploring. My dream job is to write and produce for other artists, so I felt having a diverse project could help serve as a portfolio of sorts. 6 years ago yesterday was the day I first got Logic Pro! I had no idea, but looked back at my Snapchat memories and was shocked. There’s a ton of pics here that show my various set ups and moments over the past 6 years. It’s been so much fun.

This album is reflective of how I played these songs back in April 2023 for my very first listening party. I’m so glad to finally share it as I originally intended.

Lastly, “Scootiebootie”, was a nickname my parents gave me as a baby. I was 6 weeks early and spent my first week on Earth in an incubator at the hospital. My parents played music for me while I was in there. I would wiggle and “dance” to the music - hahaha. Probably how I survived! Nah…that’s being too dramatic - I was fine .

Thanks for hanging with me. I’m not gonna hold onto things anymore. Looking forward to sharing more tunes with you in the near future - I’ve had plenty of time to write while this album has been collecting dust.

Thank you to all those who helped - especially .music.official for mixing and for mastering.

Love to all,

Carter 💜

“Henny & Coke” is out today! This one has been living on the hard drive since 2023…yikes! Glad to finally put it out. Malik ( ) and I wrote this back in spring 2022. I sent the demo to him on 3/9/22 oddly enough - so almost 3 years ago exactly. I was really into 90’s west coast hip hop at the time. This tune is sort of a love letter to that era. Henny & Coke was my dad’s go to drink forever. The cover consists pictures my mom took back in 1995 the first night my dad ever had that drink with his friends. She cut made the collage too! Shout out Mama D!! Added to the retro aesthetic - sorry guys…you’re old!!! Thanks as always to my bros .music.official and for the mix and master. Miss you guys!

“Monetize” is out now everywhere!

This one was quite a blast to make. Lots of different sections and interludes. The hope is that it showcases the spirit I had while making it. Picture a kid in his room jamming and layering instrument after instrument to make some weird amalgamation of sound in hopes to express my ever growing anxiety regarding “growing up” and beginning to see the depressing grip money tends to have on folks. Fun times! Experiencing the feelings of trying to keep up with the latest trends and spending more than necessary. Doom scrolling and feeling “behind”. Chasing algorithms. Chasing perfection, or perhaps perceived perfection. It’s never enough.

To be honest, I spiraled real bad this year. I’ve always had a strong work ethic and drive, but it manifested into something that I could no longer control. I became manic. When you get into this sort of perfectionist state, its just never enough. Not only did I want people to mess with what I was doing and be perceived as talented, I wanted to be the “best”. I wanted to be a “genius”. A creative machine that has no limits and can work non stop. It was to the point where I convinced myself “when I'm awake I am making music.” I was chained to upholding a narrative that is just so ridiculous.

It’s exhausting and it’s not what life’s about. I got off track there, and everyday I'm fighting to make sure I stay honest. With that said, you won’t see me chasing anymore. I've always been reluctant to it anyways, but not immune. Still aren't, but I'm trying. I've come to realize I have everything I could ever want. I don't care how many streams I get or followers or views. God has blessed me with some incredible gifts, I recognize that, and I'm not going to stress out about if I'll “make it” or not. He's in control, and whatever He has planned for me I'm down for. I don't want fame or money. I want to live my life, love my family, and love my beautiful Jess.

If anyone read this, yikes bro. But thanks. I'm just trying to be honest and share some of my thoughts. I probably won't come back on here for awhile but know I'm still working on something or other. It may come out, it may not!

Love,

Carter

“Avatar” is now out everywhere featuring !

This song has taken many forms…I switched up the arrangement too many times - even after Ny had already recorded her vocals! It was an ever evolving project for a while there.

I wrote the original instrumental and hook right after I got home from seeing Avatar: The Way of Water in the theater. I was creatively inspired by that movie in so many ways. The visuals were stunning, music incredible, and the story was moving. I was home from college on Christmas break and all I had was my MPC and computer on the kitchen table. Got to work immediately as we got home from the theater.

This version isn’t exactly that version anymore, but the spirit of it is still there. That movie had such a breath of fresh air in it. The way the tribes live harmoniously with nature and each other was extremely emotional for me to see. Although they’re aliens, it felt so incredibly human.

This song represents (at least to me) a sense of longing for something that’s deeply ingrained within the core of human nature. A togetherness. An escape to a reality of how we are supposed to live. A pull to run away and explore new lands and commune with new people. Maybe as a new person yourself. Thus, it’s title.

Love you all, thanks for listening and (maybe) reading!

“Back 2U” is out now!

I wrote this one about my safe space- The Cabin. It’s about the longing to be there. Needing to be with my family. The feeling of picking myself up and finding a way back to where I belong - not to be consumed by toxicity or darkness when it closes in. Which is does. Often. Depression and anxiety is a very real thing, and I don’t talk about it all that much. It’s very sensitive to me, and I feel vulnerable talking about it. I’m not healed, but I’m healing.

If you are going through something, rest assured that it will pass. Put your faith in God and the people you love. Create art. Read. Exercise. Pray! Most importantly remember who you are and where your heart resides. Remember you can always get back. Remember you are loved. You were intricately created for a reason.

I wrote this tune originally as a folksy guitar song, but slowly it morphed into what it is now. Probably for the best, I have too many ballads out right now ha. Maybe that version will come out someday as a B-side.

Thanks to all these folks for contributing to the project:

I love you all, thanks for listening! Stay safe and God bless.

Phases, Vol. 2 will be out this Friday! It will include two new songs, “Flower Child” and “Scootie” along with the previously released “Sooner or Later” and “Blue”.

Phases, Vol. 2 is a small collection of tunes I wrote at the piano. 3/4 songs I wrote and recorded in the same weekend last winter without leaving my room for a few days.

I was in search for a way to express the many emotions I was experiencing at the time, and felt the only way I could really do that was by isolating myself for those days. It was therapeutic and allowed this project to take form.

This EP explores the emotional contrasts of love and loss. This project also encompasses some of the densest vocal arrangements I’ve recorded. The voice to me feels like the clearest path to the soul, which is why this project has my voice stacked sometimes over 40 times. Different ranges indicate different feelings and sides to my expression. It was my way to really express what I was feeling at the time.

I think that’s why I lean towards the falsetto as much as I do. It’s such a vulnerable way for a guy to sing, and that vulnerability is what I try to bring to my music.

Thank you for listening and reading.

Phases, Vol. 2 💙💙

Love,

Carter

2023 encompassed the strongest array of emotions. When looking back, this year has brought on more life experience than the past few years combined.

Love, loss, and heartbreak. Rapid change and the realization of life’s delicacy. Candidly - it’s been the hardest year of my life.

Through it all there has been growth. New chapters and personal development. I’ve found solace in friends, family, music, and most importantly God. We’ve had joyous times that served as beacons of hope in an otherwise dark year - each serving as a reminder of life’s paradoxical tendencies.

l feel extremely blessed.

Sending love to all. Happy New Year💜

The album is done.

Special thanks to for having us out to finish the record today. It was such a blessing. I can’t believe it’s done.

Special thanks to .music.official and .watt.music for wrangling this project with me here at the finish line so that this one will finally go out. No more vault projects haha.

It was a magical experience to finally hear this work as I’ve heard it in my head for the past year(s).

Soon enough it will be yours to experience as well.

Love,

Carter
