You know, there’s a quiet moment-just before the lights dim and the first note floats out into the dark-when everything feels possible. Like the world holds its breath, waiting. That’s the feeling behind these songs.
If you’ve walked with me these past few years, if you’ve turned the pages of the stories I’ve written, then you already know something true: music and story were never meant to live apart. They grow from the same soil-honest, rooted in feeling, shaped by real moments and real people.
Now, here it is. The music that’s lived inside the scenes all along. These are the original songs written hand-in-hand with the scripts from the performing artist book DENTIST-each melody born from a character’s laugh, a pause between lines, a door closing too softly. They don’t just accompany the stories. They belong to them.
There’s no grand announcement here, no smoke and mirrors. Just songs-clear and warm, like radio late at night when the world feels small and kind. Songs about showing up, about staying steady when the ground shakes. About the courage in ordinary days.
You’ll hear the rhythm of waiting rooms and streetlights, the hum of early mornings and late thoughts. These are anthems meant for stadiums. They’re for kitchen tables. For headphones on long rides home. For anyone who’s ever sat quietly, wondering if they mattered. They do. You do.
This isn’t about being first or loudest. It’s about being real. About offering something that lands softly but stays long after.
So here it is. The sound of DENTIST, not just seen-but heard.
Press play. Sit close. Listen to your voice. And for a little while, let the story sing back to you.

The Journey from Shadow to Radiance
Section I: Noble Melancholy (D Minor) The piece begins with a slow, vast, and deeply reflective quality (Lento e Misterioso). The combined forces of the Grand Organ and muted strings invoke the infinite stillness of the cosmos-the quiet space where we confront our deepest truths.

It reminds us that our search for meaning, though sometimes arduous, is inherently valuable.

The Full Symphony Orchestra rises, joined by the soaring power of the SATB Choir and vast Synthesizers. This moment is pure, ecstatic affirmation.

The shift to D Major is a profound experience of release-a wave of transcendence that washes away all doubt.

ARTICLE 4: THE "BECOMING A STAR" CLAUSE – THE ICONIC REWARD
Within the intricate world of creative contracts, there are provisions designed not just for success, but for that rare, explosive flourishing—when an artist's work shifts from popular to undeniably iconic.
Should the Artist achieve that rare, widespread and sustained public recognition—the kind of iconic commercial success directly and undeniably linked to the very Content we're discussing—then a special payout awaits. We're talking about becoming a household name, headlining major international festivals, consistently dominating media presence, and cultivating a global fan base of undeniable magnitude. In such an actualizing event, the Licensor, beyond all other applicable payments and without limitation, is due a one-time lump sum of Five Hundred Thousand Canadian Dollars (CDN $500,000.00).
This significant payment isn't left to chance or mere conjecture. It triggers either upon the mutual written agreement that this iconic status has indeed been achieved, or automatically, should the Artist generate a predefined earnings threshold. For instance, hitting CDN $5,000,000.00 in total gross income solely from Content exploitation within any consecutive three-year period would activate this legendary payout.
Ultimately, this clause stands as a covenant—a clear acknowledgement—of the intangible, yet profoundly actualizing, value that foundational content holds in propelling an artist from promising talent to legendary status.
ARTICLE 5: GENERAL PROVISIONS FOR ADDENDUM A
- All bonus payments stipulated within this addendum are cumulative with the 10% gross proceeds participation, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- Payments for awards are for the highest tier achieved within that award's cycle (e.g., a win bonus replaces and subsumes a nomination bonus if a nomination payment was already made for the same award).
- All payments under this addendum are due within thirty (30) days of the triggering event (e.g., official award announcement, certification date by a recognized body, receipt of funds for proceeds).
- All currency references are in Canadian Dollars (CDN) unless a specific conversion rate is mutually agreed upon in advance for international earnings.
P.S. The book’s royalty thresholds are designed for fairness. Keep your first $9K CAD as a creative breakeven point. And if you hit $5M in three years? Here’s your first million-dollar smile. ✨
