About Nine Lives Lost

We’re a dad and daughter team writing songs when we can, when life slows down long enough to let the stories find us. This project isn’t polished or packaged. It’s built on quiet moments, scribbled lyrics, and the kinds of conversations you don’t always have out loud. At the heart of Nine Lives Lost is a simple idea: words we say should mean something.

We write about the things we actually care about: grief, memory, longing, regret, hope, love, loss, and all the blurry lines in between. Some songs are personal, some imagined, but all of them come from a place that matters to us. We hope at least one of them might matter to you, too.

Every track starts as a fully human creations. We start with a guitar and an idea, and just start singing. Once we have a starting place we spend a lot of time shaping the story and melody. In a perfect world, we would head to the studio, but we don’t have the resources, and I sure don’t have the vocal chops to pull any of this off. That is where AI comes in. We use AI as a tool, not a crutch: a way to prototype, to arrange, to explore sounds that we might not be able to capture on our own. The level of AI involvement varies, but the foundation never changes, it’s still us, still human, still real.

None of these songs are final. They’re musical prototypes, stripped-down sketches of something honest. If a track feels right, we’ll come back and shape it into something more finished. But for now, we’re letting them breathe and evolve. We believe songs aren’t just finished products, they’re invitations.

Thanks for listening. We hope something here finds its way to you.
