This talk focuses on the creative process and inspiration behind my music and lyrics.
It is based around tracks from my inaugural album, which was completed at Abbey Road Studios.
Once released, it received positive reviews both locally and from further afield, allowing me to undergo several mini tours. In the proposed talk, there are short clips from music videos supporting the release of the album, including animation sequences as well as live action videos. Additionally, I give live performances of some of the songs, singing and playing the guitar.
I am happy to take questions at the end.
I have my own projector + screen, plus all audio/musical equipment needed. Please note: my style of music is considered easy-listening and very melodic, often described as uplifting.
