This is my 6th original album after learning more about mixing and recording. You will hear songs about heart break and encouragement. I utilized techniques from genres such as rock, folk, pop, and hip hop. This is by far my most experimental album yet. Thank you for listening!

This is my 5th original album released as another experiment with electronic instruments. This time, I set out to make a pop album, but I think it may have to pass for something else. This album carries a darker, more melancholy tone.

This is my 4th released album. This original, all-acoustic album was actually written with hopes that one day a full band would help me recreate these tunes, so you might call them acoustic rough drafts. Either way, this series of poems turned into songs is an expression of my emotional states during various situations in life.

This is my 3rd original album created with slightly better technique than before. This album is an expression of lessons learned through various experiences. You may have to turn up your volume to hear it good. Sorry about that. I’ll release a remastered version at a later date.

This is my 2nd album released online. Very early on, my style was and still is all over the place. I’m finding my sound and this album is an example of my experimentation with electronic instruments. A seasoned engineer can hear my amateur sound and recognize ways to make this album better. I’m happy to hear from any of you.

Thank You Lord
by Walter Hawkins
I was invited by Victory Church to perform this song for their church anniversary service.
What a Beautiful Name
By Hillsong
I was invited by Victory Church to perform this song for their church anniversary service.
Invictus
This composition was inspired by the poem, Invictus, written by William Ernest Henley. All music and lyrics are original and performed by me.
Damage
This is an original tune written to stretch my abilities as a writer, composer and engineer. This is my first hip-hop style production and I’m really happy with it. I’m also experimenting with Adobe Creative Suite to learn new ways to express myself using video and graphics. What do you think?
Pheonix
This is an original poem turned into a song using my acoustic guitar and violin along with some electronic instruments I used from the digital audio workstation. The creation of this video also marks the beginning of my lyric video journey. Ever since I built my computer, I’ve been experimenting with different graphics and ways to make cool music videos for my music.
Totally Lost Me
This was filmed at my Aunty’s farm in North Carolina. We had such a great time and aside from spending time with family, I had plenty of time to explore and put in some quality time with my newly purchased Canon 90D digital camera. The song is original and was influenced by my relationship with my father. We’re good now, but the song is a little sad. Nevertheless, I’m proud of this one!
We Never Change
This a cover of one my favorite songs by Coldplay. This song is from their Parachutes album, which is one of my all-time favorite creative works. I know every song front to back. At some point, I’ll cover the entire album.
You Must Believe In Spring
This is a string and voice arrangement of a beautiful tune written by Michel Legrand. All instruments and vocals are performed by me.
