Hi all,
Ive been reflecting on many things and I've decided to focus on doing a lot more for charity, so many people out there need our help and support and i never see enough help from musical circles.
I have to be honest and say the Full Circle Experience has been a big influence on this decision, the way every single member pulled out the stops to get the song recorded and finance everything.
All of it is so selfless and that's really special, everyone going to every length to make it happen.
It also proves how we can do a lot more with the power of music, its just dedicating the time and some effort. I really don't want to waste all of my talent trying to make a £1 or £2 for myself, as a youngster i guess its about becoming famous but as I've grown older the industry has become less relevant.
I look back and often think "i have all of this music out there, what for? What was it i hoped to of achieved with it? Could i of used it to help others? Does any one really care?" lol!
I have met some amazing friends/fans over the years, many from the UK and even abroad that have supported me and my music. I could never be happier that they have shown an interest, the truth is i record music because i enjoy it. Just like someone going to Pilates or to the gym, only difference is fans don't go to the gym or Pilates to support you through a workout (probably a bad analogy there lol)
Hopefully you can grasp what I'm trying to get at here...
Ive come to realise my heart is way to big to be selfish, its no longer just about me and my music anymore....
I want to make a difference out there and I'm talented enough to do it, Ive gone through life helping many people that really don't need any help....
I may not have a great amount of money to give to charity but just like a person will use their skills to raise money so can i, if there are any musicians out there looking to raise money for different charities then that is something I'm looking to get involved in.
It would be my goal to be involved in as many groups like "Full Circle" as possible to spread my musicianship, all to raise money and help those out there that need the support.
I really am touched by the charity Me & Dee and i hope to be involved with them and with Full Circle in the future, i know i have the time to help many more charities out there too though.
Its funny.... I've never be one to take compliments from people, its an awkward thing (maybe its an insecurity i don't know?) but when people say "You're one of the greatest guitarists in the world" or "people would give anything to be as talented as you" i often think.... "Are they really talking about me, do they see me as a product of self indulgence combined with an internal Ego?" lol!
I'm not saying i want to do more for charity to prove I'm not a selfish a'hole lol, its just... if the compliments "were" true then surely i can use it to reach out to people and get them involved in helping and supporting those in need.
If i was locked away in my room for most of my days writing and recording i would be happy, i enjoy music on every level and composing/performing is a way of life for me now.
So its no skin off my nose really haha, its inspirational to have something to compose for.
Its pretty sad when you look at how the wheels turn all over the world, i never want to be caught up in any of its selfish ambitions. If anything did come of a career for me i know i would devote so much time, effort and money for good causes, it would be so easy for me to bang out a cd that's all about me and maybe make a bit of cash and is all "Wow look at me im Lucky Singh blah blah blah" haha... Truth is it would be irrelevant since "i" dont realy interest "me" lol, donating to charity is a big significance for me now.
I'm happy to survive financially performing for people and teaching, that's all i need which is a lot more than many people.
Anyway i will stop babbling on now haha, just to say the Full Circle experience has been and will hopefully continue to be a great one. I will hope to do a lot more for others too, the future is all about helping those that need it :-) xx
Peace & Luv As Always,
Lucky
