Speaker 2 (01:03):
Of course, so I'm I'm I'm originally from a place
called Brighton, which is down the south of the UK
about an hour from London, but I'm now living in
living in London, And yeah, I started doing music when
I was back back in college.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I started.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I started that place called BIM in Brighton where I
started learning music. And then from then I sort of
traveled up and down from London every week, trying to
meet as many songwriters and producers as possible, just trying
to make some songs. And over the years I've started
being developing my songwriting and my music and I've been
(01:38):
very fortunate to be able to watch some great people
and travel to some amazing, amazing places. And yeah, now
I feel I'm at a place where getting everything together
now and it's funny finds of shared my music with
the world and.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
We love that and thank you again for sharing it
with us. So can you please tell us who are
your music influences, the art who have inspired you the most?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, of course, so I grew up. I grew up
listening to Michael Jackson quite a lot and a lot
of old school music. Now I'll take you know, inspirations
from people like Seawn Mendez, James Arthur Love, Justin Bieber,
so many. It's many great pop packs, Adele, Sam Smith,
you know lit goes on and.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
On, and indeed you you have released nothing but the best.
So now let's talk about your new track, which we
are so glad to hear today, Live Without You. Please
take your time to tell us really the process of
that song, what was the process of making it? But
(02:41):
also I inspired you to do it?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, of course, of course, so I was. It was
it was a cold, rainy day in London. Were in
some really old uh you know, beast up studio in London,
and it came from it came from a place where,
you know, I wanted to write a song as a
reminder that between to hold people close to you because
you never know when that last time could be with them.
(03:06):
And it's about whenever someone means to you and the
idea of, you know, losing them could be quite unbearable.
And you know, I wrote this. I wrote this song
for a place of love, you know, fear and deep
connection and it really I really kind of captured the
vulnerability of that. And you know, also you know, the
song that kind of reflects you know, love, connection and
(03:27):
the year losing some of the music try world, and
I think it's a very it's a very raw, raw
and on its song, and I think for my first
piece of music that comes out, I wanted it to
be something that's really raw and they can connect with
the audience, whether it's you know, people related it into
different ways, if it's happy that I think it's got
so many different ways people can relate to the song.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Thank you so much for sharing these. So what is
usually your process when you want to write a new music.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, I think I think the process it really really
especially with songwriting and things like this, it really really
does coming from the high and it comes from experiences
from from from my past or you know, losing people
or or that comes from some of my experiences going
through and through life as a young man. And I
(04:17):
think I really try to pour my heart and soul
into everything I write about. So you know what you're
what you're hearing is honest and it's the truth. And
I feel like that, honestly, people can really kind of
relate to. And my song writing process has always been
the sort of same. I like to go with my producer,
have an honest chat about what might be going on
in my life at the time, and then you know,
(04:40):
the music, the music gets down and then from there
I just started to start to write where it was
on my mind.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And you did extremely well and we're so grateful for
the great music that you have. Brothers. So, do you
have any live performances coming places where you're gonna perform online?
Did you take this song already liked? What was the reaction?
So not yet, but not yet.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
So my plan is the twenty twenty six is to
keep rolling out some more music. I think, you know,
there's gonna be a lot of music out. But from
there and we're going to start to plan some live
shows and really to meet some of my listeners, and
I think we're going to totally aim produce a show
in London, aiming for the first one in twenty twenty six.

be able to just travel Europe, travel the world really
