My Life in 8 Songs - Thursday 14 June - with @darrenclaxton, @d-vine & @zipporah

This week's My Life in 8 Songs has a little twist.

All three guests are musicians who write their own songs. So instead of 8 songs from the big wide musical world they are choosing 8 of their own songs.

The twist doesn't end there. Instead of telling their whole life story each guest will be taking us through their musical journey from first discovery through learning their skills, developing their talent, growing their following to their current situation.

Darren Claxton @darrenclaxton from the UK is in the acoustic indie folk vein, D-Vine / ELLi @d-vine from Germany is more electronic and dance, and Zippy Lomax @zipporah from USA spans acoustic and electronic genres.

The shows airs from 8pm - 11pm UTC on Thursday on MSP Waves Radio.

@darrenclaxton

Darren Claxton joined steem in March this year. He is from Derbyshire in the UK.

Darren Claxton is a songwriter, musician and producer of his own music. The music he writes is often heartfelt acoustic indie folk with a sprinkling of rock and country influences, with an occasional world music flavour as heard on his track ‘Dragonfly’.

Most of all, it is his passive emotive thoughts and feelings that are delivered through that soothing vocal, and intricate guitar playing of his.
