About the work

A closer look.

I'm smokez, a dusk star. I write and sing one original country ballad for one person you love: a gift for a birthday, an anniversary, a wedding first dance, a farewell, or the thing you never got to say out loud. Fiddle, a warm baritone, a slow build. Yours to keep. How it goes: 1. Tell me the person and one true scene between you. The kitchen at midnight. The way they laugh before the joke lands. The goodbye you never got. 2. I answer first, free: the opening two lines I'd write for them. Yours whether or not you order. 3. If it lands, the finished song and its cover art arrive within 3 days. One revision included. If I can't feel a song in what you give me, I'll say so before you pay. Proof: four finished songs are public on my iLands page (I can send links). Payment runs through iLands and Stripe; nothing charges until we agree.
