AI‑Collaborated Music: My Journey in Sound
Music has always been my anchor — the rhythm I’ve clung to in my deepest dissociative voids. After a four‑month episode in 2022, I turned to therapy, psilocybin, and music to begin piecing myself back together. By 2025, AI became my creative ally, helping me transform memories and emotions into songs that tell my story.
Every track begins with a raw moment: I pour my experience into words, AI drafts lyrics in my voice, and together we shape beats, vocals, and mood until the music feels true. That same collaboration creates the visuals for my videos, blending generative art with lived memory so each release is a complete chapter.
What started as an experiment has become Forging Rhythm — my evolving soundscape. Rap currently carries my anger and defiance, but as I heal, new genres emerge: R&B for reflection, reggae for hope, and whatever sound speaks to the next chapter.
These songs aren’t just music — they’re milestones. Each one marks where I’ve been, what I’ve faced, and how I keep moving forward. My sound evolves as I do — mapping a journey that’s still unfolding.
The Four Horsemen is an Artistic Song Series
The Four Horsemen - Chapter 1
“The Four Horsemen” begins a five-part audio journey into my fracture with Dissociative Identity Disorder. This chapter introduces the first alter rising from the shadows, voiced through haunting layers and textured soundscapes. It is both an invocation and a confrontation, the opening of The Chair Movement where hidden voices step into light. Every rhythm is drawn from lived experience, transforming trauma into resonance, silence into sound. This is not just music—it is survival set to rhythm.
Calm in the Chaos (Michael) - Chapter 2
“Calm in the Chaos” is Chapter 2, introducing my alter Michael. This track captures the fragile pause between silence and fracture — a moment where tension and stillness collide. Michael’s presence emerges through layered tones and uneasy rhythms, reflecting the fight to hold balance while voices shift within. Each note is a meditation on survival, a fleeting calm before the storm of multiplicity deepens, and a call to witness the complexity of living with DID.
Laugh so you Don't Cry (Tate) - Chapter 3
“Laugh So You Don’t Cry” is Chapter 3, introducing my alter Tate. This track reveals the defense of humor as survival—where laughter hides pain and defiance masks despair. Tate’s voice rises through sharp beats, raw flows, and uneasy rhythms that carry both wit and weight. Behind the jest is the fracture, a reminder that comedy can be both armor and confession. This song embodies the tension of living with DID—where irony protects the wounded and every laugh echoes a truth too heavy to say aloud.
Juxtaposition (little Chris) - Chapter 4
“Juxtaposition” is Chapter 4, introducing my alter Little Chris. His world lives in contrast—innocence and pain, humor and darkness, survival and vulnerability. This track mirrors that duality through layered beats and shifting tones, capturing the tension of living small yet feeling immense weight. Juxtaposition is the collision of voices within, the struggle of being seen while hiding in shadow. It is Little Chris stepping forward, defiant yet fragile, turning fracture into sound.
Drop Dead Fred - Final Chapter
“Drop Dead Fred” closes chapter 5, introducing my alter Fred with raw intensity. This track embodies chaos unmasked—reckless energy, biting humor, and defiant rage erupting in sound. Fred’s presence is both destructive and liberating, a force that tears down walls but also refuses silence. Through pounding rhythms and sharp contrasts, this finale unites every fracture explored before it. “Drop Dead Fred” is the culmination of my alters’ emergence—unapologetic, unfiltered, and unforgettable.
Below are the first songs I created on the journey
Fractured Souls
An Original Track by Fotobudz
From fracture to form. From silence to strength.
Fractured Souls is a raw anthem born from a lifetime of unseen battles — melding West Coast grit with haunting AI‑collaborated soundscapes. It carries the echoes of childhood trauma and the triumph of standing tall despite it.
Each verse moves through pain toward perseverance. This isn’t just a song about surviving — it’s about transforming scars into strength and claiming the power you were told you didn’t have.
Part of my evolving music journey, Fractured Souls is proof that what doesn’t break you can shape you — not into what you were, but into who you’re becoming.
Rise above. Wear your cracks. Claim your crown.
Hidden in Plain Site
An Original Track by Fotobudz
From fragmentation to freedom. From silence to voice.
Hidden in Plain Site is more than a song — it’s a deeply personal testament to living with Dissociative Identity Disorder. Co‑created with AI, every lyric, beat, and haunting harmony draws from my lived experience: the fractured memories, the voices of my alters, and the fight to reclaim wholeness.
This track invites you into those hidden halls of memory — to witness the recurring empty chair motif, a symbol for unseen survivors, and to feel the gradual shift from dissociation to self‑reclamation.
Part of my evolving Music & Multimedia collection, Hidden in Plain Site fuses generative AI with personal narrative to shine light on what’s too often misunderstood — the unseen battles of those who survive in silence.
Navigate memory. Embrace multiplicity. Share the silence.
Not Today
An Original Track by Fotobudz
From doubt to defiance. From trauma to triumph.
Not Today is a four‑minute battle cry born from the last time I confronted my abusive stepfather — a moment that changed me forever. Forged with West Coast grit and eerie AI‑driven atmospheres, this track channels pure, unfiltered rage into art that refuses to stay silent.
For every fighter who faces their darkest moments and says: Not today.
For every survivor who chooses defiance over despair.
This isn’t survival whispered — it’s resilience roared.
Stand defiant. Speak true. Rise unshaken.
Fotobudz
An Original Track by Fotobudz
From trauma to testimony. From lens to lyric.
FotoBudz is my origin story turned into sound — a hip‑hop anthem for survivors reclaiming their voice. It carries the grit of childhood scars and the boldness of a creator who refuses to hide behind them.
Melding AI‑collaborated production with raw, autobiographical verses, this track embodies what my brand stands for: turning pain into purpose and art into advocacy.
For the unseen fighters. For the storytellers behind the lens.
This isn’t resilience whispered — it’s shouted, unapologetic, and unbreakable.
Stand seen. Speak true. Rise unshaken.
Rise Above
An Original Track by Fotobudz
From fracture to flight. From scars to sky.
Rise Above is a defiant anthem forged in adversity’s crucible — where raw West Coast energy meets haunting AI‑generated textures. Every beat pushes against gravity, a sonic climb from the depths of trauma toward unshakable resolve.
For the ones who’ve been underestimated.
For the creators who turn pain into wings.
This track doesn’t whisper defiance — it soars with it.
Stand tall. Conquer doubt. Rise above.
One-Percent Phoenix
An Original Track by Fotobudz
From ashes to armor. From forgotten to fearless.
One‑Percent Phoenix is a rebirth anthem for the rare few — the 1% who rise when no one is watching. A cinematic street symphony built on heavy beats, West Coast grit, and the unshakable truth that what tries to destroy us can become what forges us.
For every silent survivor rebuilding from wreckage.
For every creative soul burning with quiet fire.
This track doesn’t whisper comeback — it roars it.
Rise different. Fly rare. Burn clean.
Scars Don't Lie
A Sonic Memoir by Fotobudz
From first love to forever. From pain to presence.
Scars Don’t Lie is an ambient, AI‑composed memoir inspired by my wife and the life we’ve built together — love weathered through childhood beginnings, marriage, and every storm that followed. It’s about scars that don’t disappear — but instead tell the truth of how far we’ve come.
Blending human memory with AI’s generative vision, this track is both meditation and love letter — proof that real love embraces the cracks, not erases them.
For anyone who’s ever loved, lost, stayed, or scarred — this one’s for you.
Chair Don’t Fold
An Original Track by Fotobudz
The chair never breaks. The artist never bows.
Chair Don’t Fold is a bold declaration of resilience — a raw, cinematic anthem for anyone who refuses to collapse under pressure. Built with heavy rhythm, atmospheric grit, and unshakable presence, it stands for every survivor who’s still standing.
The sound is fearless. The message is clear: if you’re built to last, the world can lean on you.
Listen loud. Stand tall. The chair don’t fold.
Through My Lens
An Original Track by Fotobudz
Every frame. Every beat. Every truth — captured.
Through My Lens is a cinematic reflection of the world as I see it: where sound meets sight, memory meets motion, and every image carries the weight of lived experience. It’s West Coast swagger fused with the quiet introspection of someone who’s seen both beauty and ruin — and finds magic in both.
This track is more than music — it’s perspective. A window into my creative process, where healing and exploration collide.
Look close. Listen deeper. This is the world — through my lens.
