CHEEKY PROMO

Music is quite literally my first language. When I was young (3 or 4), I was still not talking so I had speech therapy. That didn’t have much impact so I moved to music therapy. My parents thought music therapy was amazing. Music therapy helped, and music still helps me, to communicate and connect with others, to express / be myself, to be part of the world. Nordoff Robbins is the UK's leading music therapy provider. I asked my mum about her memories of my speech & music therapy. She thinks th... at I was; Free to ‘shout’ because I’d found my voice / Excited by the music, Enjoying the ‘music’ making very much / Very happy to be communicating with ‘musical’ speech / Emotionally charged because it was something I loved / Able to ‘talk’ in a language instigated by me // Cheeky Promo helps musicians, early stage music startups and music businesses to make connections so that they can do what they love. Cheeky Promo promotes them through social media, interviews on cheeky.promo, and a variety of events, including gigs and concerts. I was involved in a road accident in Sept 2011 (which resulted in a broken top jaw, damaged / lost teeth, a bone graft operation from my right hip to my lower jaw and some dental implants), and was treated by the amazing doctors & staff of London's Air Ambulance An arts festival inspired by an opera-in-progress (@waktm) will launch in London in 2020 to raise money for music therapy charity Nordoff Robbins & London's Air Ambulance and then go on tour throughout the UK, Europe, the USA and beyond. I'm looking for people in London who are passionate about music to join me as co-founder(s) Any support will be rewarded with as much Cheeky Promo as possible. If you'd like to get involved in the festival - as a performer, volunteer or sponsor, and/or with Cheeky Promo in the long term, please email me at [email protected] https://twitter.com/CheekyPromo http://instagram.com/cheekypromo https://soundcloud.com/cheekypromo http://www.pinterest.com/cheekypromo http://www.flickr.com/groups/2177229@N20 https://plus.google.com/+Cheekypromo/posts http://www.cheekypromo.com/CheekyPromo/index.html https://plus.google.com/109416625522502419611/posts http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Cheeky-promo-4810055 https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/104976956807854380704More
