Our lives as musicians can feel lonely

We are part of a wonderful profession of innovation and change alongside tradition. We bring creativity and joy to the lives of many people, but often our own lives feel hidden.

Issues we may be facing with motivation, money issues, mental health issues and injury are too often kept inside. We are scared of what might happen if we share our struggles as well as our music.

I want this to change. I have created a podcast, Things Musicians Don’t Talk About, in which I interview guests and share my own experience in order to raise awareness for the real issues we face.

Nothing is off limits, we will talk about anything we need to talk about to make the world a bit brighter!

Episode 9- Richard Adam Lewis – Things Musicians Don’t Talk About

In this episode I talk to pianist and composer, Richard Adam Lewis, about his move from the world of business and maths to the music world. Passionate about creativity, Richard is an improvising pianist, writer and coach. After studying maths and following five years as a consultant in London, he’s building a community connecting artists with creative people working in the business world. We talk about his journey from maths to music, the links there are between the two and his new project, aimed at creating a space to connect artists with those in business. He also shares his advice for anyone looking at setting up a business.
