Stroke of Genius

🔑 "The Key” – Unlock What’s Already Yours 

Too often, we forget our own magic. We shrink, we settle, we build walls around ourselves—trapped in prisons of our own making. “The Key” is a reminder that an expansive, extraordinary life isn’t just possible—it’s already within reach. The only thing stopping us is us.

With Gary’s powerful lyrics and Annela’s soul-stirring composition, this song is both a wake-up call and an anthem of encouragement. Inspired by a deeply personal moment—watching his son, Zach, step into a bold new chapter—Gary captures one of life’s greatest joys: seeing the people you love set themselves free.

You’ve always had the key. Now, it’s time to use it.

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.
