Music and Visualisation
As of April 2021, there are currently 7.9 billion people on planet Earth (sourced from Worldometer). Every single one of us are born with a unique set of personalities that tailor our talents, fears, and goals. While we are tremendously unique as we journey through life, we all have one thing in common - we experience emotion. Whether it is a fleeting moment, or deeply submerging, emotion can sculpt, direct, and govern our lives.

“It’s okay to fail, because through failure you will learn what you really want to achieve in life.” I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I was growing up in London. I'd hear stories of people saying they knew what they wanted to be in this world from the age of four. “I wanted to be a journalist” or “I wanted to be a fire-fighter” was often the answer. My own mother periodically told me that “you'll only be successful if you are a doctor or a lawyer”.
