The thing that matters to me most is that my music makes me feel something, it's become this way for me to record my life and embed my story into what I create. I like the idea that the people I love and maybe their children will listen back one day and start to pick through the music and find all these memories buried in there. I always start writing with some kind of sample I recorded on my phone, and while digging through my audio notes I found this recording of my daughter's heartbeat.. I recorded it during one of the early scans and had totally forgotten about it.. I knew instantly that this was the starting point for me that day. I feel like the only thing we can rely on to help us stand out these days is to be ourselves, it's the one thing we can count on that makes us unique. Putting my life into my music is my way of doing that, and has become my ‘why’. Those early scans can be a terrifying time, you are a bundle of nerves and heading into this great big unknown, and there is something so visceral about hearing that living heartbeat the first time. It’s one of those life moments where you are overwhelmed by emotions that you don't quite understand, and yet you are also scared to let yourself feel them in case something goes wrong. Everytime I hear this song it takes me back to that feeling, and for me that's what music should do: transport you somewhere. So really it's about moments, impactful moments that music so often attaches itself too. It's what makes music both challenging to earn a living from in the modern visual world, but also what makes it totally unique.. It soundtracks our experiences and bonds to them forever. Willow's Heartbeat is the inaugural single from the forthcoming debut album Scenes, where listeners' will take part by contributing their personal memories and see them transformed into a collective audiovisual tapestry.
