Why do I make music?

I have been performing and studying as a musician for over 10 years.

I initially started music as a way of expressing myself with friends and filling time while living in Suffolk and Norfolk. Over time this has developed into much much more. As a creative, I now see music and the arts as a language to express myself, open up my perception of the world around me and, most importantly, enjoy an expressive language that can be understood by all.

I have been fortunate that my time as a musician on stages, in studios or just in friends' bedrooms, has allowed me to experience the joy that this skill can bring to all. I understand that not all people find enjoyment in the more abstract or controversial styles of creativity, but understanding how music and the arts can allow the everyday person to feel a sense of freedom or connectivity to their surroundings is pivotal in the creation of art.

You may not want to become a professional musician - you may just want to meet up with friends, play some covers or share some creative moments - but to me, that is the root of music and all creative avenues, and if I can help others experience that, I am achieving what I set out to do with my creative career.
