Since this I have been on one of the biggest radios in this country (BBC) talking about Music, Motivation & Mental Health and also working on Charity based events with organisations such as ‘MIND’. The album starts dark and reaches a lighter, more up-tempo vibe as it continues representing a way out of these problems. It’s a good feeling to be able to offer this in ways where I can, especially via my musical passion, it feels like my purpose as been strengthened and become clearer (I have been making music for over seven years). It is a hard one to work out sometimes - I know some people would not talk to people off their own back, as I said earlier I felt the same - but something about my vulnerability in my new music helped people open up. I decided to group them together into an album, with appropriate skits in-between certain songs to create the atmosphere I needed, and decided that I will try to help anyone who needs it in relation to their mental health. (It is really hard to explain it thoroughly in text so please forgive me).įast forward a few months down the line I was listening to the songs I had made and decided to make a music video (with the help of a couple of my good friends) we created ‘Save Me’.Īfter I had released that video, people who had watched (some I knew, some I didn’t) approached me online and spoke about how my music inspired them to do more, to get up and try again, to reach further in their own lives… I had NO idea! I honestly created the songs to express my own emotion, and since that release I looked over the tracks I had made in the bad stage I mentioned earlier. I made dark song after song which seemed to lighten the weight. The only reason I did is because when I have these emotions, I tend to channel them out of me via my passion for creating music. The thing is, I wouldn’t have spoken to anyone about it. Anxious, depressed and showing traits of addictive behaviour, I really did not feel good. This summer I had hit the worst rut in my life.
