Dear all,
After giving it much thought, I have decided to take a new direction with this website.
I realise these days that my main strength in music comes from piano compositions and my ability to sing and write songs on the guitar.
I also realise now that my passion for electronic music really comes from my hobby of synthesisers.
So what this means is, I see myself as more of a musician who sings, plays piano and guitar, and has a hobby for synthesisers.
I can do other things like play clarinet, violin and use electronic music software, but I consider this extra and not my main focus. This has been a major milestone for me as I though I wanted to be a producer with a studio and record other artists etc.
Now I know I don’t have to take the electronic music so seriously and that it is ok just to be a musician who has a hobby in synths. I don’t have to be able to do everything, record, arrange, mix, I can leave that to someone else, who has strength in that area.
Of course no one told me to put pressure on myself, but I guess that’s what I did.
In terms of the website, this means that I won’t be releasing much electronic music anymore. My material will be focused more on piano and guitar composition and maybe some sounds I have made on a synthesiser, who knows?
The only project I’m working on these days is Scrapbook Dreams, which I hope to release hopefully by the end of this year.
I feel a lot calmer these days as I know I am doing the right thing and I am being realistic and true to myself.
Love for all,
JAMIE
Focus on what you’re really passionate for, Jamie. I’m always excited to see stuff from you regardless of the instrumentation used! Mix and match to suit how you feel 😀
