The Story Behind the Music

I made The Parody Album because the world felt too serious to not laugh with it. I’m a filmmaker and a pastor-creative, so I wrote these songs like mini short films—setups, reversals, callbacks, then a final tag that lands after the last snare hit. If a joke didn’t sing, I rewrote it. If a groove didn’t smile, I rebuilt the beat.

The process started with true stories: the over-caffeinated church volunteer, the eternal group text, the “one more meeting that could’ve been an email,” and the dad who’s still learning TikTok. I’d collect punchlines in my phone, then find a style that amplified the joke—country for the tall tale, funk for the dramatic flex, synth-pop for the tech rant. Once the concept clicked, I scored the comedy: drum fills placed like rim-shot laugh lines, bass drops timed to reveal a twist lyric, and background vocals that whisper the joke you didn’t know you needed.

Because I care about heart over cheap shots, every parody aims upward: laugh with people more than at them. The guardrails were simple—kind humor, clean language, shared humanity—so families, small groups, classrooms, and teams can enjoy the same song without skipping tracks. We used foley, crowd “oohs,” and subtle SFX the way a filmmaker uses cutaways—little winks that reward a second spin.

I tracked most vocals late at night when Memphis got quiet. If a take felt like a grin, I kept it; if the smile wasn’t in the syllables, I punched in until it lived there. The best moments were the “happy accidents”—a guitar chuckle that became the hook, a muted trumpet that turned into a punchline, a talk-back joke that made the final mix. That’s the album’s heartbeat: craft meets play, faith-filled joy that doesn’t need a disclaimer.
