I am not a prisoner of sound

About Me

..
Thanks for Checking out my tunes. I'm 27, Scottish, and all about playing music. I've been playing music since I was a kid and it really is something I cant live without. Its a cliché but I try to write about the true nature of life as honestly as I can. I went through a difficult period a couple of years ago getting clean from alcohol addiction. I started writing songs as an outlet for all the feelings and emotions I had to deal with. I had to be truly honest with myself first before I could with anyone else. I'm glad to say I'm still straight and so very happy because of a second chance at life. The content of my music stretches from my experiences of being homeless and sleeping on the streets to the current state of the world. I'm influenced by everything, good and bad. I do most of my writing on the bus where I find inspiration from looking at real people. Music is very much a journey and about the moment so I like to write on the go.Let me know what you think....good or bad. I'm just happy not to be a product of the system.Peace and God BlessSteph
