If it has a positive message then that's a plus. Equally though, I believe that all aspects of life and the vast range of human emotions - negative ones too - should be explored in music, I don't think a piece of music influenced by a negative subject matter necessarily has a negative message. I am open to new influences. Everything that goes on in my life - from thoughts to weather - inspires me and whatever mood I'm in will influence how I create the journey I will take my listeners on. Spending 5 years in a second-hand record shop (big up the Reckless cru) was at times very inspiring too and I learnt a lot from the older guys in there, in fact a lot of good peeps in my life have put me onto good music (thanks x). I love music and I don't know what I would do without it. Books inspire me too and some of my favourite writers include Andrea Levy and Hanif Kureishi.
Sounds Like: Hopefully when I play it sounds like I put my heart and soul into it.
A bit like this.
