I was supposed to post this at the weekend, but then the sun came out and I seemed to forget everything

I’m really delighted to say that I’ve been given financial funding and support from the amazing Help Musicians, a UK based charity that supports all kinds of musicians, young and old.

Basically, their grant will allow me to record and release a new EP of songs where I can make use of a proper professional recording studio for the FIRST TIME EVER.

I’ve done everything in my bedroom up to this point so I’m extremely excited to be let loose in a studio and have actual engineers help me make music

The grant also covers promotion and marketing, and on top of that I’ll be getting mentoring by music industry professionals to help grow my career and gain some new skillz

There’ll be more updates on this in the weeks to come, but I just wanted to properly say on here how massively grateful I am to Help Musicians for this, as without their support I literally would not be able to do this right now.

So many many thanks to them. They offer support all year round so if you’re a musician, check them out and consider applying to one of their schemes; it was the first time I ever did it and I couldn’t be happier with how it went!

Watch this space!

10 weeks after my last release, the day has finally arrived – 9:31, my new single, is birthed and ready to be gawked at, listened to, playlisted, criticised, made into TikTok videos or just left on in the background while you’re peeling ya spuds.

Written, produced and mixed by myself, and mastered once again by the awesome Marsden Mastering !

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend with it x

I was hoping it would coincide with the end of Winter but she’s a stormy mistress out there today. Ah well, can’t plan these things.
Everything you hear is written, recorded and produced by myself.
Mastering is by the ever reliable Marsden Mastering www.philipmarsdenmusic.com
(Instagram: @marsdenmastering) making it the first EP I’ve ever had professionally mastered, you can certainly hear the difference!
