Covid 19 has had a worldwide impact. The obvious statistic are those that have been infected & those that have died. Job losses, lockdowns & isolation have also taken a toll on people all over the planet. As a musician now unable to perform live & earn my living, I have turned to my main instrument, the piano, for an outpouring of emotion. This piece entitled "Struggle", is a piano improvisation during these unprecedented times.

Struggle

I started off learning piano at around 6 years old, but only realised my ear for music when I could pick out melodies I heard on the radio & from then on I started writing my own music & playing long into the night, to the point where my parents told me to stop so they could go to sleep!
In my teenage years I joined bands & learnt basically on the fly how to work as a group. Once I realised that keyboards were not as portable & able to be played on beaches / around campfires, I taught myself guitar. By adding drums, harmonica & bass to my arsenal, the stage was set for a fully working band to record in my garage. Since setting up my home studio, I love recording a tune each week & especially love collaborating with all the extremely talented musicians on soundcloud. I'm a full time musician, with many different hats in the music community. Including songwriter, composer, live musician & blog writer.
