This project began after a conversation outside church.

After a service one Sunday, the preacher and I started talking. He rides motorcycles and belongs to a motorcycle club. During our conversation, he said something that stayed with me: he wished the public understood that not all bikers are gangsters.

I went home that day with those words on my mind. As a singer and songwriter, music is how I communicate best, so I decided to respond the only way I knew how—by writing a song. That song became the title track, Chrome and Heart.

I shared the song with a few bikers, and several invited me to sit down and talk. I used to ride when I was younger, and my daughter rides today. During one of those conversations, I mentioned that I’ve never lane-split and wouldn’t allow my daughter to do it either. One man explained that he is a volunteer firefighter. When serious accidents happen and traffic is backed up, he often receives a call to respond. On a motorcycle, weaving through traffic means he is frequently the first person on the scene—sometimes even before emergency vehicles arrive.

That conversation became another song: Don’t Judge What You Don’t Know.

The more people I spoke to, the more I learned about motorcycle clubs. Every time I understood a role, a responsibility, or a misconception, it turned into a song. What started as one track grew into a full 12-song album, with each song representing a different position, duty, or reality within the club.

When the album was finished, I sent it to a few people and asked them:  Does this say what you were hoping people would understand? They shared it with their members , who then reached out to me. Their suggestion was to turn the music into a YouTube documentary – using the songs with images to help the public better understand motorcycle clubs.

As I began speaking with production teams, it became clear that including all the songs alongside interviews would result in a project well over two hours long. That’s when the idea fully formed.

Instead of a single documentary, this could become an Original Unscripted Factual Series, twelve episodes, each approximately 45 minutes long – with every episode built around one song, one role, and one story.

The music becomes the narrative spine, while real voices and real moments bring the meaning to life. Together, they offer an honest, human look at motorcycle clubs — not as headlines or stereotypes, but as communities built on responsibility, service, loyalty, and brotherhood.
