Hello World
I’m Arturo Once and here you will find a collection of creations from the musical universe. A diverse cosmopolitan universe full of all possibilities.
Hope you find it fun

I’m a singer/songwriter from Guildford, Surrey, England. I started writing songs when I was 12 on a piano but really got into it when I started playing the guitar at 13/14. As with so many of us, career and family became the priority and I stopped writing over a 30 year period. Now I’ve retired, I’ve finally got time to write and record again and I love it! 
I play everything on the songs and record on my MacBook on GarageBand. Still learning! 
I hope you enjoy the songs and thank you in advance for any comments and feedback.

I love music. I was born into a musical family, and had one piano lesson as a child, but it was no fun and I gave up. 

As a teenager I played piano and guitar by ear. After twenty-five though, life got in the way.

In mid-life I rediscovered music, and I've been making up for lost time. "Music is enough for a lifetime but a lifetime is not enough for music", someone said.

Writing and collaboration are what I enjoy most now. As an amateur I write what I want to hear. But I hope you find something you enjoy. Thank you for listening.

Germinating songwriter, simple country wench, mistress of the soil.

With my roots in the folk revival of the 60s and 70s, I’m a folk singer at heart, in love with everything from unaccompanied traditional folk through to folk rock, contemporary folk, American folk and beyond. 
Over the years, I’ve been inspired by singers such as Anne Briggs, Joan Baez, Sandy Denny, Maddy Prior & Joni Mitchell. More recently I’ve been enjoying the music of Rhiannon Giddens & Karine Polwart.
Having abandoned my music for decades, I’ve been encouraged by dear friends to pick up my guitar and start to sing again. I’ve only recently begun to write my own music and  it feels as if I’ve opened a door and found an undiscovered landscape which I now plan to explore. 
I never knew there were songs within me, but gradually they’re emerging, and so am I.
