The Creative Process

From a very young age, I would sing with my dad. My mum and dad divorced when I was just a baby, and even though I would see my dad occasionally, we were not close. As I grew up,  it was obvious that we shared the same love. Music.

Whenever we compose a new song, it is normally achieved very easily, within the hour. I write down words beforehand, or vise vera,  and then when dad has worked out which chords fit my melodies, we bring together a brand new tune. With some harmonies, often a a brand new section as the middle 8, we have the song finished.

We write what inspires us. We write what we are feeling. My father tends to write darker, more complex lyrics, whilst I write simple and cheerful lyrics.
