“I have managed to make a career doing what I love; it has taken a bit of work, but it is definitely possible for anyone to achieve.’ – Oscar Jerome

“One truth we can say is, playing a musical instrument or doing your art form whatever it is, is good for your mental health and wellbeing, we know that. So, whilst anyone else is anxious or stressed out, you can always turn to your instrument and play. That is a gift. It’s the biggest gift you can have really.” – Arji Manuelpillai
