ON THE RISE
AUSTIN, Texas — The artist known as SomeoneCalledSomeone spent part of his early adulthood living a dream to be a musician and promote his songs, but he also paid a steep price, battling addiction, problems with the law and failed relationships.
Now he’s determined to recapture the joy of making and sharing music without exposing himself and his new family to the temptations of the music scene.
SomeoneCalledSomeone just released the second EP in his “Moods” series called “Frequencies: The Moods Vol. 2” out on streaming service as of March 10, 2023.
SomeoneCalledSomone said the first EP, “Pensive: The Moods Vol. 1,” released last November, was the slower, more introspective album.
“Volume 2 is supposed to be, ok, we got to think about some deep stuff, now it’s time to have some fun,” he said. “Let’s roll the windows down, let’s turn it up and let’s just vibe out. So that’s kind of the whole concept and motivation behind Volume 2, this one is the feel-good EP.
“I'm pushing a decade from when I was last relevant in music. It’s like what do I sound like in today's market because if I go start creating music like I was doing when I stopped, it’s going to be outdated. I was asking who am I in this new landscape of music. I’ve been playing in different genres, different sounds and I noticed a pattern so I created the ‘Moods” EP series specifically around that.”
SomeoneCalledSomeone said he lived the music scene and lived the problems it caused for a number of years.
“I was a touring and professional musician for years,” SomeoneCalledSomeone said. “I was also a drug addict. I had two options. One was continue with music and probably relapse because that had been my pattern, get clean, relapse, get clean, relapse. Or walk away from music entirely and stay sober and have some kind of a livable life. So that was the decision I made and I walked away from music entirely for eight years.”
While SomeoneCalledSomeone thought he was done with music, his wife knew better.
“Two years ago my wife would still see me writing,” he said. “I loved to write whether it was journaling or poetry, wrinting what may or may not ever be a song. So my wife had bought me a little studio-in-a-box, the little PreSonas kits, with a mike, a pre-amp, monitors. When she bought it I was like I don’t know why you waste our money on that, I'll never use it. I have no interest in doing music anymore, that part of my life is over.
“Then about June or July I was bored, I was at home, and I decided, just out of curiosity I want to see if I can do it. So I made a song called ‘Days, Nights and Weeks,’ and it was about addiction. I posted it online under the name SomeoneCalledSomeone just to be anonymous and it got really great responses and it kind of made me think, you know what, this is cool.”
It was cool enough that SomeoneCalledSomeone decided to see if he could make and release music without dealing with the music scene. And he figured out the technology had changed enough that he might be able to release music and promote it without giving up his anonymity,
“I made the decision that I can, from the comfort of my own home and the privacy and anonymity of this online persona, create music and still scratch that itch, but maintain the life I've built, the family I've created and the sobriety that I now have that is closing in on nine years,” he said. “When I quit making music MySpace.com just started. Facebook was still for college kids. There wasn’t digital. Every single weekend, Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, I had a backpack on my back, I was standing on a corner on Sixth Street in downtown Austin with a CD players and headphones in my hand and approach every human that walked down the street sell them a CD for $5 or be out there promoting or pushing a show I had coming up.
“Now I never have to leave my house and all the promotion I do is online. It seems so easy like it’s a cheat code, but it’s not necessarily easy because everyone else is doing the same thing. It’s really interesting, I don’t know how to say which one is better, it’s just interesting.”
A new journey is now beginning. A new artist is molding and combining genre sounds and influences with the same deep and impactful lyrics which were once so highly regarded amongst fans. SomeoneCalledSomeone is the artist for anyone who has ever felt as though unfinished business beckoned for their undying attention.

NETHERLANDS — August 26, 2026 — Brook Lynn is stepping into a new chapter with “Love Your Enemy,” an atmospheric alternative pop song that turns an intensely personal battle with anxiety into a message of self-acceptance. Written after her America’s Got Talent auditions, the song captures the internal conflict of facing the person who can be hardest to silence: yourself.
Built around cinematic production and emotionally restrained vocals, “Love Your Enemy” explores the disconnect between appearing fine in public and confronting difficult thoughts in private. The song’s central message is reflected in its chorus, where Brook Lynn sings about being “my own worst company” before arriving at its most hopeful realization: “They say, ‘Love your enemy,’ / So I’m learning how to love me.”
For Brook Lynn, that “enemy” is anxiety. Rather than presenting it as something that simply disappears, the song examines what it means to live with those thoughts while refusing to let them dictate what comes next.
“I always want to give a hopeful message in every song,” Brook Lynn explains. “I always first want to explain what is happening in your head and what you feel, and then, at the end, give a message that you can get out of this, and that anxiety doesn’t have to hold you back from all the things you want to achieve in your life.”
That message became especially significant when Brook Lynn made the decision to perform “Love Your Enemy” on America’s Got Talent. Known by many viewers for her stripped-back cover performances, she recognized that performing an original song on one of television’s biggest stages carried a different kind of risk. But she also knew she could not continue forward without showing audiences the artist behind the covers.
“I just thought it was really important to also show the world that I’m not just a cover singer,” she says. “I do want people to know that I write songs and I want to be an artist and put that out there.”
Brook Lynn performed “Love Your Enemy” during the America’s Got Talent quarterfinals, bringing the song’s story of anxiety and self-doubt directly to a massive live audience. Her journey on the show ended there, but the response made one thing clear: listeners wanted to hear more. Fans connected not only with her voice, but with the honesty behind the performance and the willingness to speak openly about emotions many people struggle to acknowledge themselves.
“I do want to be that person with my music as well for other people,” Brook Lynn says, describing her desire to write about real experiences and feelings. “I always want to be really real with everyone, like talk about deeper stuff, not surface level.”
“Love Your Enemy” arrives as Brook Lynn looks ahead to Tales From The Woods, an upcoming EP intended to introduce listeners to a broader picture of who she is as an artist. With only two original songs currently released, she says she is excited to share more music and continue developing the sound and emotional world introduced through “Love Your Enemy.”
The song is not a conclusion to Brook Lynn’s story. It is the beginning of a more open one—one where anxiety can be acknowledged without being allowed to take control, and where the feelings people are often afraid to say out loud can finally have a voice.
Listen to “Love Your Enemy,” which received promotional support from Starlight PR.
Brook Lynn creates music that feels intimate yet powerful, cinematic yet emotionally exposed. Blending atmospheric alternative pop with minimalist visual storytelling, her work explores vulnerability, isolation, emotional tension and human connection through a distinctly modern lens.
Raised in Wilp, a small town in the Netherlands, Brook Lynn grew up surrounded by silence, nature and isolation. Music became a private emotional outlet and a way to process feelings that were difficult to explain out loud. What began through stripped-back online performances evolved into a growing global audience drawn to her honesty and emotional depth.
For Brook Lynn, music is never just about being heard. It is about being understood.
