Stroke of Genius

The Sound of New Beginnings 🎶

The first collaboration between Annela and Gary, “Makin' Sumpin” is more than a song—it’s a leap of faith. It’s about two people diving into the unknown, chasing a dream, building something from nothing—whether it’s a business, a family, or a love that defies expectation. They don’t have all the answers, but they go after it anyway. And in the end, they realize that the real journey isn’t about what they create—it’s about who they are together.

With Gary’s heartfelt lyrics and Annela’s soaring melody, this song captures the thrill, uncertainty, and beauty of taking a chance on something—or someone—worth believing in.

Press play, take the leap, and start somethin’ of your own.

What is Stroke of Genius?

Meet Annela Flores and Gary Adamson, the duo behind Stroke of Genius —a musical partnership born from an unexpected connection. Annela, a gifted music therapist, met Gary as a client while helping him recover from a stroke. But their shared passion for storytelling through song transformed into something greater. Gary writes the words, crafting lyrics that speak to the soul, while Annela brings them to life with her angelic voice and mastery of a multitude of instruments.

Each song immerses you into their creative world and allows you to experience the magic of collaboration. Whether you’re an artist, a dreamer, or just someone who loves a great story set to a beautiful melody, we hope this music will inspire and uplift you.
