An Unexpected Beginning
Burnett did not set out to become a lyricist.
In 2025, he wrote a love poem for his wife called Enduring Hearts.
He began wondering what the words might sound like as a song and decided to turn the poem into one. When friends heard the result, their response was enthusiastic: he should write more.
He took their advice.
The experience opened a creative path Burnett had never anticipated. He began looking at the extraordinary collection of people and experiences already surrounding him.
Those stories became the foundation of Witness: The First Album, a nine-song collection released in January 2026.
Why “Witness”
Burnett chose Witness as his artist name because it expresses the purpose behind his songwriting.
Christian faith runs through his work. In almost every song he writes, he incorporates some reference to his faith and the presence of Jesus in people's lives.
His songs do not avoid suffering. They address alcoholism, the loss of a child, Alzheimer's disease, the death of a military spouse, separation from family during military service, and the realities of growing older.
But suffering is not the final message.
Burnett seeks instead to write about what can sustain people through those experiences: love, faith, family, resilience, gratitude, friendship, hope, and the determination to continue living fully.
Through his songs, he hopes to bear witness to Jesus' love and to His presence and support during life's hardships.
The name Witness consequently works on two levels. Burnett is a witness to the people and experiences that have shaped his own life, but he also writes to bear witness to the Christian faith that has helped give those experiences meaning.
