Hello from a musician, artist, and poet joining the Steemit revolution

Hi, I'm @thebigdelay. I'm a musician, songwriter, poet, and artist based in Glasgow.

Here's me jamming in our wonderful Kelvingrove Park.

Looks relaxing right? A great atmosphere for creative souls?

I moved up here from London two years ago this week, with the assistance of my best friend, and with all my belongings stashed in a shopping trolley. Here's me doing that:

One of the reasons I moved up was to dedicate more time to my art, leaving my hectic past life in London behind. Glasgow's such a chilled out place to do that and has a wonderful creative community.

Here's me performing one of my original songs:

And here's me performing one of my poems:

I've been working as a freelance blog writer whilst looking for ways to focus on my music and other creative projects. I sincerely hope Steemit could be a game changer for me. For the first time, I've actually been making money directly from my music. I genuinely think Steemit could revolutionise how artists make money in the era of the "gift economy".

I've been on Steemit for about 2 weeks and have already had some great responses, and made a few dollars. But most importantly, I've found a creative and ambitious community of artists dedicated to making this a revolution that benefits the many and which could end the era of the starving artist.

Here's one of my ambient music tracks:

Thanks to everyone who has supported me in this short time, including @kiloindigo for recommending the site in the first place, and other creative talents like @dandelion, @vegannomadchick, @juliakponsford, @roaming.kuba, @winstonalden and many other including curators like @luzycypher and @robyneggs.

I've also been posting my photos. Like this one:

I also do strange cartoons. Here's one:

I've started regularly posting videos to Youtube, so do subscribe for more content. But most importantly, please follow me on Steemit and check out my posts.

It's great to be here :) Vive la revolution!
