I’ve been fairly quiet here since the launch of my debut album Skeptileptic on May 4th last year. Completion of the album was a huge effort and I wanted to take stock and decide on a future direction for my songwriting. Julian Marshall, who has mentored me in the past, suggested I take a look at the Songwriting MA programme at ICMP (he is a tutor there) and in the summer of last year I decided to apply.
As a result since September 2018 I’ve been taking the train from Devon every week for the course. I’m studying part-time over 2 years and now one and a half semesters in it feels like a great choice. Kilburn, where most of my studies are based is becoming something of a second home along with Tileyard Studios near Kings Cross where last autumn I spent many a happy lunch hour at the Vinyl Café catching up with my talented classmates.
