Why Music?

A lot of reasons.. Dad played and sang to me from the moment I was born so I was brought up with it to be a part of my life. At points it has been an escape, a release, a comfort and a happy hobby.

Favourite artist/Why?

The Beatles – As well as an emotional connection to their music, I’m often intrigued by their different sounds and twisting of genres for their era. Their lyrics are basic but presented well enough to be able to resonate with.
