Description
Music production can be an exciting and creative outlet to improve your emotional wellbeing. Adolescence can be a time of intense emotions, self-discovery and personal growth, and music production provides an outlet for self-expression like no other. Whether you’re creating beats, composing melodies or producing entire tracks, music production can be a way to channel your feelings and thoughts into art.
When you immerse yourself in music production, you can enter a world where you have complete control over the sounds, rhythms and melodies you create. Music production is like painting with sound, allowing you to express a wide range of emotions and stories without saying a single word. Music also has a unique ability to connect with your feelings, which may resonate with your experiences and help you process complex emotions. Whether you’re jamming out to a favourite song or crafting your tunes, music can be a powerful tool for reducing stress, improving mood and finding a sense of calm.
Beyond its emotional benefits, music production can offer a platform for developing valuable skills. It can encourage discipline, patience and attention to detail as you arrange and produce tracks. Collaboration with other musicians can also foster teamwork and communication abilities, and the sense of accomplishment that comes with creating your music can boost your self-esteem and confidence.

Voice
I make music and write lyrics because it helps take something that’s inside my head and make it something that exists outside of myself. It’s the only thing that makes me feel totally connected.
