The Goal and Mission

Live in Woking

Where has the year gone? June already!That said, I'm pleased to be writing you my newsletter for this quarter.

So, what have I been up to?Well, I've been working on completing piano pieces and—exciting news—I treated myself to a brand-new 88-key Yamaha digital piano! I even had the chance to perform with it at a recent gig. You can catch a video of that performance on my Instagram [insert link].

Lately, I’ve been feeling that music is more than just sound—it's an essence I’ve been gifted with. A gift meant to be shared, and one I want to steward with intention and care.

Important Update:I had originally planned to release an acoustic album later this year. "That plan's taken a little turn—I’ll be releasing the songs one by one as singles instead. Keep an ear out!"

I'll be booking a couple more shows for this year, all in England at this point, that may change, but I will keep you posted.

🚨 Merch Giveaway Update! 🚨

Thank you to everyone who participated in the "Why Life Is Worth Living—and How Music Has Played a Key Role" giveaway.I saw all of your entries and truly appreciated each one.

Congratulations to OLOYEDE Saheedat—you’re our winner this time!

This brings me to a deeper reflection:The struggles of life cross all our paths. Even those with money aren’t exempt—because contrary to what many believe, money only solves material problems. It can't fix mental battles, trust issues, betrayal, or hate.

But that’s a conversation for another time.

📩 Let's stay connected on social media. Many of you are active on my posts on social media which is very much appreciated. Let's keep talking!

I’ll be recording a new track soon, right here in England!The exact location is still under wraps, but I’ll be announcing it shortly.

If you're based in England and would love to be part of this intimate live recording session, I’d love to have you there. Just email petra@iambrjames.co.uk to express your interest.

We’ll share all the details as soon as they’re confirmed.

Wishing you a fantastic quarter ahead.Remember, you weren’t born to beg.Every need you’ll ever have was already met with a solution before you even took your first breath. Consider that.

Until next time!
