Welcome to our first-ever Finish More Music podcast series!

 

This five-part series concludes the story I shared last year about my instantaneous and permanent recovery from depression—and how I simultaneously regained my hearing, despite multiple medical professionals telling me it was lost forever.

 

I thought I fully understood what had led me into the darkest time of my life and the reason...

So we are deep into a story together…

 

A story of the darkest must tumultuous time in my life. 

 

A time that almost ended me.

 

And now things are about to get very, very weird,

 

It starts with an event that spiralled me into panic followed by multiple appointments with the UK’s top specialists.

 

And then there was a flash of intuition from my mentor ...

WE… ARE … BACK!

Hello, It’s been a while! 18 months to be precise.

 

After 4 years of never missing a beat and recording an episode of the podcast every single week…We suddenly disappeared.

 

Why?

 

It’s a big question and it deserves a big answer.

 

In this podcast, I will share with you the reason why I and the podcast disappeared.

 

Fair warning: it may be unsettling for you. It is a dark story.

 

But I believe it is important ...

Are you open to exploring something a bit leftfield?

 

We all know that there are ways to get into a creative headspace at the start of a writing session that will help us to be more productive in that session…

In this episode, we’re asking the question - has it all been done before?

 

Have we reached the frontier of music and there are no new genres, sounds, or musical directions to pursue?

 

Given the amount of music in the world and the hundreds of genres and subgenres that exist, it would be easy to conclude that the answer is...

In today’s episode, we’re going to be exploring that question.
