RICK KAZYAKA

In 2024, I created a stage name Rich Way. It has a double meaning; it was simple and easy to remember. I soon realized something there are many “Rich Ways” out there, rappers, producers, even motivational speakers using the same name. It started to feel like I was part of crowd instead of standing out. When I published my song "Call Your Bluff", it ended up under another "Rich Way" page, it was a hassle to get my music separated, I ultimately decided to take the song down a

One small step for man, one giant leap of courage. Last night, it finally happened. On Monday night, July 20, 2026 (exactly 57 years after the first moonwalk) I stepped onto the stage at Truth Vinyl’s open mic night in Arlington, Texas, and did something I’ve dreamed about for decades. I performed my original songs live in front of an audience. I played three of my own songs: “Masterpiece,” “The One I Waited For,” and “Call Your Bluff.” The room held about 20–25 people. I wa

This month is full of milestones - America’s 250th, Arlington’s 150th, and my own 60th birthday next week. All of it reminded me of something I used to do as a kid. Back then, when I wrote my address, I sometimes didn’t stop at the street or the city. I kept going, zooming out layer by layer, until I had placed myself in the entire universe. It looked like this: Ricky Kazyaka 3##### Kenneth Court Sterling Heights Michigan Zip Code 48077 United States North America Earth Sol

A follow‑up to Synchronicity - and the next step in the journey After writing about Synchronicity, that strange, powerful alignment of moments that seem to nudge us forward, I realized something: synchronicity doesn’t just show up in life. It shows up in creativity too. Especially in music. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been deep inside the demo for a new track called “Masterpiece.” And what’s wild is how much this song ties directly into the mindset shift I wrote about ear

It starts with our thoughts. It starts with our attitude. Our mindset is the lens we use to interpret everything around us. Two people can face the same situation and walk away with completely different experiences, not because the world changed, but because their thoughts did. When our attitude shifts, our outlook shifts. When our outlook shifts, our life shifts. The truth is simple: What we focus on expands. If we focus on frustration, we find more of it. If we focus on p

Every season of creativity has its own rhythm and lately, mine has been shifting in a way that feels both grounded and electric. If you’ve been following along with The Power of Everyday Moments and Synchronicity? you already know I’ve been keenly aware of the small sparks that show up when life slows down just enough to notice them. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been deep in writing, refining, and shaping new material. Some of it is raw. Some of it is polished. All of it fee

Some of the best ideas don’t come from big events, they more often come from the small ones. A conversation with a stranger. A memory you haven’t visited in years. A moment of stillness that lets your mind wander. When you start treating everyday life as creative fuel, everything becomes inspiration.

I recently experienced a synchronicity - Last couple weeks I've been working on a new original song with a working title of "Puzzle Peace", writing and rewriting the lyrics & melody. When I went to my doctor's appointment yesterday, on the exam room walls, were these two pictures of scattered puzzle pieces. To me this is a strange & puzzling coincidence (pun intended), synchronistic, it's like a secret message from the Universe or sign to keep working on the song. What do

Music was my first love, a melody that played in my heart long before life took me on a different journey, I embraced the challenges and joys of a full-time job and the rewarding experience of raising two wonderful children. Now, with a renewed spirit, I am ready to return to the dreams I once set aside. I am eager to write, produce, and share the music that has been patiently waiting within me, ready to fill the air with the stories and emotions I've held onto for so long.
