We are all notes in life's grand, intricate composition. But what happens when the note you were born to play doesn't fit the rigid score someone else handed you?

That question is the heartbeat of my memoir, A Note in the Symphonic Composition: An Independent Artist's Memoir on Finding Harmony and Voice — and today I finally get to say it out loud: it's out. It's real, and you can hold it in your hands.

Eight years in the making

I've been writing this book for eight years, and counting, because a story about your own life never really feels finished. It's been the truest labor of love I've ever made. My music has always let you hear my world. This book lets you walk through it. It's me opening the door to my life, my growing up, and the experiences that shaped me.

Why I wrote it

For years, I tried to silence the song inside me. I was an artistic spirit trying to fold myself into a world that wanted me quiet. This book is the story of what it cost me to keep that note silent, and what it took to finally play it out loud.

More than anything, I wrote it to inspire you to keep going, especially when that means standing up to the status quo. It's about marching to the honest beat of your own drum and being fearless about it. The truest part of you was never up for a vote. It was always the unshakable truth of the song you were born to sing.

Who it's for

If you've ever felt out of tune with the world — too loud, too soft, too much, too different — this is for you. It's for the artists making it without a safety net, for anyone who's been told to play smaller than they are, and for everyone who suspects the score they were handed isn't the one they're meant to follow.

Today's the day. Four children's books, published under Jupiter Chavez, are officially out in the world, in English and in Spanish, and I've been holding my breath for this one.

These didn't start as a business plan. They started at family gatherings, with my ever-growing crew of nieces, nephews, and little cousins climbing over the furniture asking for a story. Every time the family gets bigger, my "why" gets bigger too. I wanted to write something they could actually enjoy, books where kids who look like us, who come from where we come from, get to be the hero of the myth instead of a footnote in someone else's.

And because our family lives in two languages, so do these books. Every title is available in both English and Spanish, so kids can meet these worlds in the language they dream in.

So I built four worlds. Here they are.

Aiden the Young Painter — When hard times take Aiden's colors away, a wise teacher hands him three words: paint the grey. It's a story about resilience and the courage to keep creating even when it's hard.

Takoda's Royal Journey — An eight-year-old boy learns of a hidden royal lineage and journeys alone into the wilderness to unite two clans on the brink of conflict. It's a story rooted in Native American heritage, about belonging and discovering that real power is the willingness to listen.

Khepri: The Rebirth of a Pharaoh's Legacy — Born under an eclipse over the Nile, a boy who wears a scarab pendant learns he may carry an ancestor's wisdom. It's a tender, richly illustrated story about legacy and knowing where you come from.

Itzel's Legacy — A young woman who can read the stars stands before ten thousand people during a solar eclipse and speaks without fear: "The sun will return." It's a story built on Aztec heritage and female empowerment, about courage, healing, and trusting the light back in.

For my family, and yours

Every one of these is dedicated, in spirit, to the kids in my life who keep showing up and keep growing in number. I wrote books I'd actually want to read to them, stories with real roots, real culture, and real heart, not a lecture in disguise.

Why I made the whole set instead of one title: kids build their sense of what's possible from the stories they're handed, and I wanted my nieces, nephews, and cousins to see themselves crowned, painting, and reading the stars, across four different cultures, not just one. The honest tradeoff: four books spanning four heritages, in two languages, is a heavy research and care load, and a wider collection means I couldn't pour everything into a single book the way a one-title author can. I made that trade on purpose. The collection is the gift.

All eight editions are live as of today, four stories in English and Spanish, available through Amazon stores everywhere. If you've got a small human in your life, or you just love a good story with deep roots, these are for them. Grab them at the links above.

There is something that happens between a song and the person who hears it. A moment of recognition. A feeling of being understood without explanation. That is what music does — and it is why these lyric books exist.

Every song I have ever written started somewhere private. A late night thought. A feeling I could not shake. A moment I needed to process but did not yet have the words for. Over time those fragments became verses, verses became songs, and songs became albums. What you have been streaming, singing along to, and carrying with you — all of it started as words on a page.

The lyric books are my way of giving you that page.

Five books. Five eras. Tulips. When Tiger's Dragon. Jupiter. EP: 3, 6 + 9 Each one represents a distinct chapter in this journey — a different version of me showing up on the page with everything I had at that moment. Some of these songs were written in joy. Some in pain. Some in the quiet space between knowing something is ending and not yet knowing what comes next. All of them are honest.

Holding a lyric book is different from streaming an album. When you read the words without the music, you hear them differently. You find lines you missed. You sit with a phrase longer than the beat allowed. You make it yours in a new way.

That is what I want for you.

All five lyric books — and a bundle with all five — are now available in the shop. These are not mass-produced. They are made for the people who actually listen. If that is you, this is for you.

The music was always yours. Now the words are too.

Everything in this shop was chosen by me. Not a team. Not a label. Not a manager or a stylist or a committee. Me — sitting alone, thinking about you.

When I decided to build a shop, I made myself one promise: nothing goes in unless I would actually want it myself. No filler. No generic merch with a logo slapped on it. Every item had to mean something, look like something, and feel like something. That standard is non-negotiable.

The shirts started with the music. Each design lives in the world of a specific song or era — XxXotic, Victorious, Teculote, Jupiterian, Taste, Tulips, 3, When Tiger's Dragon, and two pieces rooted in faith. When you wear one, something in it already spoke to you. That is the point. Every design carries the same current underneath it — strength, value, love — just wearing a different face. You finding the one that fits you is not a coincidence. That is us meeting in the middle.

The accessories — the beanies, the phone cases, the mouse pad, the flip flops — were chosen because they fit the life I imagine my people living. Creative, intentional, unbothered. Moving through the world with taste and confidence. I wanted pieces that could live in that world without screaming for attention. Things that just... fit.

And the lyric books are something else entirely. Those are personal in a way I am still figuring out how to talk about. Holding your own words in print form is a strange and beautiful thing. I hope you feel that when you hold them too.

This shop is intentional. I would rather have pieces I stand behind completely than a hundred things that mean nothing. Everything here was hand-selected, thought through, and made with you in mind.

Thank you for being the kind of fan who shops independent. It means more than you know.

“Jupiter” was just the beginning.

NEW things are on their way — and I can't wait for you to experience them.

I've been working harder than I ever have — not just as an artist but as a businesswoman, a creator, and a force. Every song, every decision, every strategic move has been intentional.

I don't have all the details to share just yet. But I will.

If you're here right now — you're early. And being early to something real has its own kind of value. The people who discover an artist before the world catches up are always glad they did.

What I can tell you is this — what's coming is the most honest, expansive, and fully realized version of me you've ever seen. And I think you're going to feel it.

Stay close. Stay tuned.

The best is absolutely yet to come. 🪐✨

There are projects you say yes to because they make sense on paper. And then there are the ones you say yes to because they make sense in your soul.

Queer the Runway was the latter.

When the opportunity came to be part of this celebration of LGBTQ+ creativity and community right here in Dallas — I didn't hesitate. As someone who is intentional about where I invest my time and energy, this was an easy decision. Joy, talent, authenticity, and fearlessness are the kinds of energy I want to be surrounded by and contribute to.

As a trans woman, finding spaces where you are not just accepted but genuinely celebrated is something you don't take for granted. Queer the Runway was exactly that kind of space. I felt welcomed, seen, and embraced for exactly who I am — and that means everything.

The runway. The photos. The people. All of it was a reminder of why community matters and why showing up for each other matters even more.

To everyone at Queer the Runway and everyone I had the pleasure of working with — thank you. This is exactly the kind of work I'm here to do.

Dallas, we have something special. 🌈💖

Ten tracks. One story. All mine.

When I first started making music, I was building something from scratch — no label, no team, no roadmap. Just songs, a vision, and an unshakeable belief that the music would find its people eventually.

6+9 is a compilation of songs originally released across two earlier projects in 2014 and 2023 — carefully curated, fully owned, and ready for the world. Those projects have since been taken down, but these ten songs deserve to live on. Dance Pop, R&B, Rap. Fierce, emotional, and everything in between.

The title means more than it says. ♋

Fleshtones. Loose. Won't Get Enough. Sodalicious. DF'sW. Pink Panther. Saucy. Tree. Bandaids. Crescendo.

Ten songs. One body of work. Out May 8th, 2026.

With the release of Jupiter, I’m sharing one of my most authentic and intentional bodies of work to date.

This album reflects who I am at my core — not just sonically, but culturally and emotionally. For the first time, I fully embrace my native language with four Spanish records, while also exploring new spaces through funk influences and my first Portuguese track. It’s a project that moves across sounds, languages, and identities, all rooted in truth.

Some of these songs have lived with me for years. Riddim Within took 8 years to become what it is today. Sunnyside Up took 5. Every detail, every lyric, every feeling was shaped with care. This album is a true labor of love — built over time, experience, and growth.

At its heart, Jupiter is about energy. Every song is meant to feel empowering, vibrant, and alive. I want people to listen and feel excited about life again — to feel open, inspired, and unafraid to explore something deeper within themselves.

I invite you to step into Jupiter. Let it pull you in. Trust its gravitational pull. There’s something here for you if you’re willing to feel it.

And for me, this moment is about standing fully in my authenticity — without hesitation, without limits.

This is Jupiter.

2026 marks a new era in my artistry — one defined by quality, intentionality, and full self-expression. With the release of Jupiter, I’m stepping into a body of work that reflects the most honest and aligned version of who I am as an artist.

Everything I’m releasing this year represents truth over trend, feeling over formula, and presence over performance. This is music rooted in lived experience — shaped by growth, exploration, and the courage to show up fully as myself.

As Ulises, I am embracing every part of my identity as an artist, as a trans woman, and as someone who refuses to be confined by expectation or category. My work exists beyond boxes — it is fluid, evolving, and deeply personal.

Jupiter is only the beginning. There is more music coming, more stories to tell, and more layers of this world I’m building to share. Alongside these releases, there are also new surprises and creative expansions ahead — all part of a larger vision I’m bringing to life step by step.

This is a new chapter. And I’m just getting started.

Jupiter is a warm, laid-back R&B record built on beautiful, guitar-driven melodies that feel both peaceful and deeply intimate. The song carries a soft, love-filled energy — the kind that feels effortless, comforting, and real.

It’s a track I take a lot of pride in. There’s a simplicity and honesty in it that speaks to genuine connection, offering a moment of calm, emotion, and quiet vulnerability. Enjoy!
