Who Are You
Who Are You attempts to challenge popular beliefs and narratives. The song looks at alternative ideas and reflects on some of the challenges we have all faced over the last few years. My sole intention in writing this song is to promote thought and prompt exploration. For me creating music is my way of playing my own small part to help shape a future that we can all be proud of. No one knows what the future holds, but the one I would like to see is one without censorship or fuelled social division. Where people are not afraid to express themselves and their ideas. One where opposing groups can come together to discuss their differences and work together to solve problems. It is my absolute belief that each and every one of us can make a difference, no matter how small. All we need to do is take the first step.more
