More About journeywithin

Hi there everyone! I grew up in the 70s and am heavily influenced by western pop music in the 70s, 80s and 90s. I am a newbie at being a busker as I am now retired from a previously rather stressful job!

I play the ukulele, piano and the guitar but i never learned any of them properly :-)

I can't be taught because I cannot sit through hours of theory and basic practice and so I turned to the most esteemed musical college in the world - YouTube! Where, thanks to millions of extremely generous people giving up their time and patience and teach people their craft for free. I have learned so much and am so inspired by them.

So with my extremely limited chords (only 6) and a capo (a magical device sent from heaven) I set out in search of songs that my vocals and my limited chords allow me to sing with my trusty guitar. To my amazement, pop music are very forgiving and what little I have allows me to sing quite a few songs.

So here I am - trying to put a smile on people's face

Fun Stuff about the Artist

Life on the Street

I love playing sitting on a staircase - others might think its a bit dirty, but its the perfect angle to rest your legs and the guitar and the echoes mean i dont need a speaker - could just be me and my guitar - definitey my favourite hangout!

Embarrassing Moment

Being asked to leave because the nearby building management needs to do their job!

Fair game - I respect that! I can always find a place where people wants to listen to me sing without getting chased or being a nuisance to someone - like HERE! :-)

My Instrument

Guitar, follow by piano and ukulele. But I busk primarily with guitar. I am a simple strummer singer - I have no pinger picking techniques, so I don't do solo nior beautiful intros, my main instrument is my voice and my guitar plays a very important role in accompanying my voice. I am more of a story teller than a singer in that regard.
