Living in a generation where most people, especially youngsters, are depressed and sad. It is important to feel positive and happy to have your work flow smoothly. The creative side of any person cannot be outshined if you don’t let it out. The positive emotions are like the boosters for them to come out of this shell of dull emotions. These boosters also need something to drive you toward your creativity. That driving force is personal growth. Creativity is the by-product of experiences and personal growth. If anybody is not going to focus on themselves, their output will never be the optimized outcome of their potential. Omer Luz - Working under the stage name of ‘Peter Spacey’ is an artist who believes that aligning one’s perspective towards personal growth and self-awareness enriches one's creative journey. Peter Spacey: A Multi-Faceted Artist Peter Spacey is a successful musician, producer, and audio-visual artist. Peter has produced music for prominent projects in the film, commercial, and gaming industries, including major placements and collaborations with Playstation, Samsung, HBO, Porsche, Vogue, National Geographic, Miss Universe, and New York Fashion Week. He has also collaborated as a featured artist in major campaigns, such as the Mitsubishi advert music-video series showcasing their new collection of cars and the 'Converse Beat' Special Music x Fashion worldwide campaign. He not only performed his music in clubs and festivals alongside renowned artists like Masego, Anomlie, and Madzack but also presented audio-visual exhibitions and worked at prestigious exhibitions and galleries worldwide, including Soho House, Tel Aviv Museum Of Art, The Holy Art Gallery (London), Neo Shibuya Screens (Japan), and Visions of Sounds (Rome). Peter has received recognition for his innovative use of technology in art and his contributions to art education, conducting masterclasses on artist mentality, creativity and management. From Bedroom Beats to Global Collaborations Before his big break, Peter grew up in an innovative and inspiring environment. He started playing piano at the age of 7 and started DJing at 14. During his teenage years, he experimented with synthesizers and drum machines, making beats in his bedroom, performing as a jazz keyboard player, and playing at local clubs and events as a DJ. Peter worked in music studios as a sound engineer and music producer, creating music for films and brands. Additionally, he was part of an interdisciplinary group of artists who created large-scale art installations. Peter was inspired to get into arts because art has always been an integral part of his life, serving as a medium for self-expression. He believes art can convey experiences, emotions, and concepts beyond words, connecting with the world in a unique and powerful way. Witnessing the power of music while DJing/live performances and observing how the crowd moves, grooves, and experiences the sound frequencies he creates is truly exhilarating for Peter. Music can take people on transcendent journeys that are not easily accessible through other forms is his one true source of inspiration. Inspiration to Pursue Dreams Peter’s eyes shine in the creative process of making music and art. He thoroughly enjoys the entire process of assembling a creation, from the initial spark of inspiration up to distributing and releasing it to the world. This charismatic man hopes to inspire others to pursue their creative passions, and follow their dreams by being a role model, demonstrating that it’s possible to create something unique and authentic when following one’s own vision and staying true to oneself. He wants to encourage artists to take risks, push boundaries, emphasize the importance of dedication, and inspire others through their art by using it as a means of expression and communication. To express his thoughts better, Peter Spacey gives words of wisdom, “Your art is a reflection of your soul. Invest in your soul, and your art will flourish”. This sentence is inspired by my insight that art is a by-product of our experiences, personal growth, and who we are as human beings. When we invest in our growth and development, we are also investing in our art. Our art becomes a reflection of our inner selves, and it becomes more beautiful and meaningful as we grow and evolve. As Quincy Jones said, "Your music will never be more or less than you are a human being." So if you want to create great art, start by working on yourself. “Become the best version of yourself, and your art will follow.”

Life is an adventure and it’s never too late to change the track of life and follow what your heart yearns for. Kristi Jacques, a music artist always knew she’ll be known through her music. As an ambitious music artist, Kristi continues to yearn for excellence and climb up the ladder of success with her insightful and solicitous tracks. Currently based out of Myrtle Beach, SC, Kristi was raised in Charleston, and her background included heavy involvement in the local music scene, along with guitar lessons, singing, helping run a music store, and working for an entertainment newspaper. Kristi defies every orthodox norm there is to create music and pursue dreams. While music has always been at the core of her life goals, she recorded and released her first album at the age of 52, but with the enthusiasm of a young artist ready to take over the world with her charm and assiduous creativity. About her calling to be a musician, she says, “To be completely honest, I didn't really have a music career. It was a huge part of my life in the 90s but not a career. Since I started over in 2020/21, I have relearned the guitar (still a work in progress) and have written close to 30 songs, recorded the songs with some amazing musicians and producers, and released my first album with a second one coming soon. I even have another EP coming out in the summer. When I started back, I thought of music as a hobby. Once that door had been opened, it is all I want to do now. I love every minute of it.” Her story inspires people to never give up on their dreams and always see life as an open field to try new things and expand their horizons. While music has always been an important part of her life, at age 52, she decided to follow her heart and embark on this journey as a music artist. Her holy grail is the quote from the song All Ends Well by Alter Bridge. "If you believe in nothing else, just keep believing in yourself." This charismatic woman believes that when people have confidence in themselves, they have the potential to grow at any pace, regardless or age! Everyone achieves goals at a different pace, humans are built differently, and their aspirations vary for each individual. It’s ok if someone doesn’t do it all young, life is all yours to go for a spin, change careers, and become a totally different version. Mistakes are going to happen. You must be willing and able to keep going if you play or sing a wrong note or chord. It’s going to happen. Just pretend like you meant to do it and keep moving forward.

John Gallen celebrates music with five new singles to honor the arrival of his second album in 2023. Music artists always push their creative limits to the test by mixing new-age trends in their releases and surprising the audience with their artistic versatility. Nothing defines this versatility better than the music that throws it back to the 1970s. John Gallen makes this a reality with his five new singles from the “1970s” album to mark the release of his new album in May 2023. A product of the lockdown, the 1970s is full of wit and fun as an album of sophisticated white soul-pop-rock. Sprinkled with delectable brass and strings, it features a band – top session players among them – that can boogie, and excellent vocals and harmonies, all brought together under the watchful ears of the accomplished Billy Farrell, at the production desk. John’s first single “Positive Attitude” got the no.1 spot on Apple and his debut album went No.1 Independent and No.5 Official in Ireland in 2022. Hot Press Magazine rated John's debut album 9/10 and he has reached around the world, and is moving at pace over the past six months. His top ten listening audience is now: the USA, Mexico, Brazil, UK, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Canada, and Switzerland. Enigmatic Musician With Hunger For Creativity The charismatic man refutes that music needs to follow a certain norm. Instead, his work digs deep into the crevices of the mind and finds the most eccentric topics to write about. Aside from being a talented artist, he’s also a seasoned multi-instrumentalist, composer, and lyricist, he is also internationally recognized as a leading lawyer. At the age of 15, he started making music in the studio and testing his creative abilities. But, life is unpredictable and his career changed gears when he was 17. After a long hiatus, he reverted back to his profound love for—music. John derives inspiration from the most thrilling encounters of his life as a lawyer. One of his songs, “Enemy” recollects his meeting with a Libyan warlord in his capacity as adviser to the warring governments of Libya before the UN. His lyrics are an expedition to enlightenment that combine observational melody with real stories. John lives by the quote “Go anywhere, do anything”. His liberal view of life allows him to experience vivid events and imbibe their lessons into an instrumental entertaining track. Being a composer and lyricist, he is involved in every stage of music creation and he makes sure to add a taste of his personality to every aspect of it. The vision for the next five years is to release one new album every year, reaching a global fanbase and bringing the juggernaut of his 12-piece band to different countries.

Meet Topps, a UK musician, songwriter, rapper, and actor, whose music is featured on hit shows like Love Island and Eastenders. Topps Chanzo should be on your music radar as he takes over the industry with his remarkable songs. His latest hit “Say Yes or Say No,” was played for more than two minutes on an episode of the hit ITV2 reality show Love Island last month. Topps has big plans in his mind, and music heals his soul, but more than this, music connects him with the audience, weaving an unbreakable bond. He is a magnetic singer with a musical legacy he carries proudly. His late father, Ray Watts, was the lead singer of the Birmingham reggae band Beshara. His father's band, who were from Moseley and Washwood Heath, formed in 1976 and is best remembered for their 1981 hit, “Men Cry Too,” which reached number 2 in the British reggae charts. His songs are clearly remarkable that even BBC shows can’t resist. He has had the honor of his song being played on BBC soap, “Eastenders” ten times, and his song “Social” was also played on the English ITV2 reality show “Peckham’s Finest”. His second single 'What's Your Problem?' has been featured on a BBC radio station. Topps has since teamed up with a production team called The Haddon Project and together they have created and released a boxing-themed song called ‘’Ring Walk’’. It has been used by various international and professional boxers as their ring walk song on Sky Sports and the USA streaming platforms DAZN and ESPN+. The same song has been used for a UFC promo compilation of UFC star Aspen Ladd. Latest Hit Topps recently released his song “Say Yes or Say No” which is on the official Love Island playlist on Spotify as well as the official English Premier League Training Workout playlist. He has a dream to get his music featured on WWE and see the magic of his voice encourage the audience and empower the fighters to nail their competition! In the early days of his career, he focused on mastering the skills of writing songs, shaping his rhythmic coordination, and singling out unique topics to write about. He described his moment of elation when his song streamed on Love Island by saying, “I wasn't watching it at the time, I was actually at the cinema, and when the film finished I switched my phone on and immediately began to receive a barrage of messages and wondered what was going on. I saw one message from my brother along with many other messages from various people across all social platforms telling me excitedly that they had just heard my song on Love Island.” The young artist derives his inspiration from his father and other legends like Becky Hill, Boyz ll Men, Ella Mai, Michael Jackson, Usher, and J Cole. His vision is to create songs that leave their mark in the hall of fame and people stream them for years to come. To listen to his songs, visit here.
