The piece of music I wrote and recorded was back in 2012/2013 if I recall. It was a tune I felt expressed my frustrations with society and everything that was going on and building up to which we now witness in present day life. How fitting that I find myself using it to bring awareness to hopefully bring change, fingers crossed.
I also used children in this as it portrays the “inner child” of an individual and how for some, they can lose sight of their passion for life they once had as a child...
Over the years of working with private clients around their mindset, for many people they feel their voice won't be understood. For this reason they tend to hold back from reaching out for help. Lose sight of the goals, dreams and aspirations whilst settling for second best.
This in turn can have impacts on an individual's mental wellbeing, and for some can lead to shutting down from many aspects in life. Some of which include leaving home, quitting work, depression and much more

My aim, to bring awareness in an engaging manner that brings home to the viewers mind what is going on out there and how we can collectively bring change…
Writing the music and words for this piece was achieved through reflecting on the emotional state and experiences victims of domestic abuse I have supported and helped overcome their past, so they can go on to live amazing lives. All of which Focus4Hope support and help victims of social abuse escaping to rebuild their lives and much more.
The figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show there were 71,387 domestic abuse-related incidents reported to West Yorkshire Police in 2018/19.
I honestly can’t imagine how vulnerable the victims must feel.
That equates to a stunning one every 7.4 minutes.
Purely because many victims can’t be heard. Their cry is without sound, and unfortunately action and support isn’t provided until traumatic events both physically and mentally have occured.
So I chose to express through a number of images and just words and I bring home the realisation of what it may be like for someone who feels all alone.
