How are your songs and ballads created? Are they based on real events?

Yes—every Echo Valor song and spoken ballad is rooted in real-life experience, historical truth, or personal witness. These are not generic or fictional works. They are crafted to honor those who lived, served, fought, sacrificed, and endured.

🎙️ Veteran-Created and Firsthand-Inspired

Echo Valor was founded by David Burnell, a decorated U.S. Air Force veteran, rescue team leader, and humanitarian. Many of the songs and ballads are based on:

  • David’s own missions in combat zones, disaster areas, and humanitarian operations
  • Stories of fallen warriors, rescue heroes, and special operations legends
  • Forgotten moments in military history that deserve to be remembered
  • Emotional themes like trauma, brotherhood, honor, grief, and redemption

🛠️ Creative Process

Each track begins with:

  • Firsthand recollection or historical research
  • Poetic and lyrical composition to reflect truth, not cliché
  • Original voice narration or vocal performance, paired with custom music production
  • Final mastering for delivery in high-quality .WAV format with matching cover art

📚 More Than Music—It’s Memorial

These works are intended as modern-day memorials. Some tracks may feel raw, others may stir emotion. All are meant to preserve the legacy of those who served and offer healing for those who still carry the weight.

🕯️ Every lyric comes from a place of experience. Every ballad is a tribute.

This makes Echo Valor different, and that is why we’re honored to share these stories with you.
