1. Film scoring gigs.

2. Getting my concert pieces performed.

3. Party guitar; maybe a lunchtime concert. 4. Albums/radio plays/books.


Things I will not do:


1. Any kind of acting for the stage.

2. Background gigs for people I despise: no corporate gigs, essentially.

3, Anything that requires pumping nylon. I'm busy writing, and that has to be my priority. I reckon if I started being a performer, I’d stop being a writer, and I prefer my writing to performing. It's fun, but I trained as a composer and made my peace with how boring that life is.


I have social anxiety, and that’s why I use cannabis: the medical stuff is what I use on work days, but for my channel I get stoned and have fun!
