What Drives You To Create?

Music and a new lease of musical life

As a Songwriter and Musician, I'm always creating new Riffs, Lyrics and hooks for my next song.
Sometimes, you just wanna quit trying to make it big and forget it.
But that's never on my radar, music is my passion and the very essence of who I am as a human being.

Cover songs are something I never really wanted to play when I broke away from being a band member and was really stubborn and refused to copy other artists.
Being a drummer and guitarist in covers bands throughout the 90s and 00s, we were playing cover songs 3 nights a week for years and it became a real slog.

My old band Jayne Raydio back in 1998, can you spot me?

So, fast forward to 2021 and a more mature artist and songwriter that embraces the 'Cover Song'
I always try to put my own spin on a cover and never like to copy it perfectly.
We are all individual and need to put our own stamp on things, much like a piece of artwork or recipe.
