Additional Info:

A personal evaluation of me, described in word, for this year would be ‘maturing’. I really feel I have grown, not just in maturity but also academically. As well as spending the whole summer learning the bass guitar, I also focused upon the drums, piano (my main instrument), guitar and my vocals. I have had a great opportunity in University learning with Tori Bragg (singing teacher) this year and I feel I have broadened my genres of singing from Rock – Jazz. I must admit my confidence not only as a musician, but as a singer was diminished before I came to University. However, looking at myself now, I have made such an improvement and I am very thankful to Tori Bragg and Chloe Mullet for pushing me to achieve in that particular area. I wasn’t singing a lot before I came to University and to be now singing back-up for peoples performances and also doing lead vocals for myself is marvellous. As a musician, I have aspired to not sticking to the basic norms of learning an instrument this year & this certainly isn’t the case with piano. Piano, being my first instrument (started age 6), I have challenged myself to many genres of music including: - Classical, Jazz, Gospel, RnB, Neo-soul and some spurges of Rock. I have taught myself pieces of music, not just by reading the notation provided but also by ear (which requires patience and training). I still aspire to improve and help others in each of the academic years in University & also outside of University. To have such great investment in what I love from the University lecturers and colleges, it really pushes me to excel further and with that notion, do I only continue to do so.

Events within University have included:- playing for and singing with Voices of Hope (conducted by Evgenia Petrenko) in their own concert in March and also in the Light Night concert in May (this is also where I have performed my own pieces). I competed in the ‘Battle of the Bands’ with my previous band ‘Soul Sublime’. Being part of Vocal Group (led by Chloe Mullet), I have been able to perform with the Concert Band in their own concert in May & also in Liverpool Royal Hospital which was a great honour. I have also had the opportunity in University to play in the Lunchtime Concerts as an individual artist and also with Vocal Group & Voices of Hope. Thanks to the Cornerstone festival in December, I was able to take part in a song writing course (led by Chloe Mullet) and we had the opportunity in University to perform our songs at the end of course, of which I received a lot of positive comments. I have also been able to have master classes with Joanna Macgregor, of which has helped immensely. The master classes were something valuable to advance my technique as a pianist and also improve and encourage more confidence in myself when playing pieces I am not familiar with. During the Cornerstone festival I also performed with the University Choir, conducted by Stephen Pratt and we performed Beethoven’s Mass in C which was a lot different to what I normally performed but nevertheless it was still a great performance and I enjoyed I thoroughly. Continuing, God has given me many talents and I am thankful that I can accompany the third years from 2009 - 2010 & 2010 – 2011 which has challenged me to apply what I have learnt (by ear , technicalities and also on my instruments) and supersede the expectations of myself and the audience. With this kind of attitude, I have been recognised by Leland Alexander who owns his own record and is a well-known guitarist.
Not only have my talents been used in University, but they have also been used around the city: - France 2010 (went touring around the north of France) and home town (weddings, gospel choir, showcase 08). The church I attend, Elm Hall Drive in Liverpool, I started a Gospel Choir, which has performed in Local Churches & I also lead the worship frequently on a Sunday morning. I also play in a couple of bands – Soul Survivors and The Jazz Quintet (bands in Liverpool) & in return to Liverpool, I will be joining a Funk Band. I try my best to portray myself as an individual artist and I have been busy this summer recording my own ideas and words, which I have published on SoundCloud and YouTube. I have been able to accompany and do session work with some well-known gospel musicians e.g. Tyndale Thomas (leader of Liverpool Philharmonic Gospel Choir) and Kofi (famous gospel artist).

My ambitions are to teach at a university or possibly become a teacher in a secondary school or college. I would really love to become a Music therapist but looking at the economic climate, I am going to struggle for jobs so I am best going a doing something which will first and foremost earn me a bit of money so I can pay for a masters in Music Therapy and then hopefully look for jobs when the climate becomes less restricting on businesses and hospitals.
