!!!! I can't believe I am the FIRST ever Artist in Residence at @AbbeyRoadStudios !!!!
A journey that began with me making music in my bedroom and basement at the age of 11. Throughout my career, I've always been drawn to the creative process and have always considered myself more of a studio hermit, so being granted this residency feels like the ultimate validation of my passion and dedication to music.
I aim to make the most of this opportunity by providing a platform for artists who wouldn't otherwise have the chance to work in a studio like Abbey Road. Having experienced the early days of my career in a similar setting, I understand the value of being able to use a place like this as an instrument. I want to support others who may be starting their musical journey, fostering an environment where their creativity can flourish without constraint.
I envision the studio as a vibrant hub for collaboration with the bubbling global music scene - where artists from diverse backgrounds and genres can come together, with me, to create freely, without the pressure of expectations. This residency is not just about creating music; it's about building a community and celebrating the joy of artistic expression. I want to embrace making music for fun again!
Life recently. Climbing mountains, walking dogs, entertaining children/myself.
