“Nine Lives” — When AI Surprises You in All the Right Ways

If you’ve followed my work for a while, you already know this: I’m a heavy, unapologetic user of artificial intelligence in my creative process—especially when making music.

Not because I want AI to replace what’s spinning around in my head, but because it helps me translate it. And trust me… that translation process is an art form of its own.

Crafting prompts has become a creative discipline I spend a surprising amount of time on. Shaping them, refining them, bending them until they get as close as possible to the music I’m hearing internally. Most of the time, the results are good—sometimes even really good—but they often miss that final spark. That elusive something that makes the track click.

But then there are those moments.
Those rare, almost magical moments where the result hits so perfectly that I know instantly: yes, this is the one.

And just as interesting are the other moments—the ones where the output is nothing like what I imagined. Normally, those go straight into the bin. But every now and then, one of these “wrong” outputs turns out surprisingly right. Not what I expected, not even close, but somehow… compelling. Fresh. Worth keeping.

When that happens, I save it.
Let it sit.
Let it breathe a little while I work on other things.

Then I revisit it to see if it still holds up after the wait.

“Nine Lives,” the track, was born exactly this way.
It came from one of those unexpected AI detours—something I didn’t plan, but that grew on me fast. And before long, it became the starting point for what would evolve into a full album: Nine Lives.

Where my earlier work leaned more toward jangly Brit-style guitar pop/rock, this project took a softer turn. A more soulful direction. The guitars are still there, but now they share space with:

  • Soul influences
  • Melancholic rap
  • Trip hop undertones
  • A touch of funk
  • And even a little garnish of jazz


The result?
A cohesive, fully realized album that’s now very close to release on Suno.ai.

And who knows—maybe it will find its way onto more streaming platforms later.
So keep an eye on this site for updates, release plans, and behind-the-scenes bits as we move forward.
