I can't stop and won't stop playing music!
Growing the confidence to sing infront of people has been a long journey in my life! to feel happy listening to myself singing has only happened more recently hence this post 😅
Music has always been a big part of my life and it started when my brother
@samlamingwingsuit got a guitar lesson and I got a base guitar. I swiftly went from the base guitar to the drums and spent most my childhood drumming and tinkering on the guitar when sam would teach me a few chords. I remember singing in my room and curious if I could sing ok or not I would go downstairs and ask my mum if it sounded ok and I remember her responding with " its a bit flat " witch sounds harsh but that brutal honesty was what i needed and has taken me on a journey of playing lots on my own and practicing when no one was listening.
When I started skydiving there was no way to take a drum kit around so I made sure I had a guitar in my car to scratch the musical itch. Me and sam would play and eventually my skydad chris lynch started playing ukele and would jam with us. 9 years ago I moved to
@skydivesw i lived at the bottom of the airfeild and there was a big hanger with epic acoustics so I could hear myself singing from the echo and could hear if it was in tune. I then met
@liambyrne0 and
@tmwoodcrafts me and Tyler would jam together and liam would hang out and listen to us on weather days.
when covid hit in
@skydivedeland i played a set outside the bar witch went ok but hearing it back i wasn't satisfied with how i sounded. When i got back to the uk me sam and chris started going to open mic nights and singing infront of people became a huge buzz for me. I then moved to
@skydivelangar where I got to be the warm up act for
@wingingitband witch was one of my favorite exspirences of playing music to people iv ever had and now has become a bit of a ritual any time we end up at a boogies together.
More recently
@hannahnicoleparker came in to my life and has consistently stopped me half way threw songs to correct me, witch although frustrating has really helped me sing better!
Thanks to all who have helped or listened or jammed with me! 🩵
