CB:
Music has always been very dear to me. As a child it was my friend in need, my playmate to have fun with, my teacher and inspiration to find deeper meaning, culture, and a more fair society. And it's always been a close companion.
Over the years I've also been an activist: environmental and social. I worked for Greenpeace for many years and as a teen I was very involved in political development and political youth groups. I have always strived towards combining these passions with music, which is a challenge, especially in our growing commercial world.
Someone once said that there is truth in music. So, I am obliged by this fact to offer a few points regarding my position as a musician in this commerce-driven world.
-
As a musician, first and foremost, I choose to express myself freely. I strive to channel what it is that I hear in my mind, through instruments, to create music that is honest and true to that vision. In this way, do I believe that musicians have found a way to reveal the truth about sadness, joy, adventure, love…and one song, one melody or harmonic can trigger those pure feelings.
-
As an entrepreneur, I am determined to create and demonstrate the idea of linked prosperity. To seek new and creative ways of addressing economic issues while emphasizing a more socially active and responsible way of profiting from business and improving the quality of lives.
-
As a member of the artists’ community, I support other artists because each contributes to the idea of freedom, culture and human development.
