In this episode, I’ll explore how technology can empower artistic communities—helping us with marketing, streamlining workflows, and managing finances. From AI tools to digital platforms, we’ll look at how artists can thrive in an ever-evolving digital world. My goal isn’t to persuade you to integrate machines into your creative work, but to offer practical suggestions that could enhance your practice. I’ll also reflect on the UK’s economic landscape and its impact on creatives, even beyond our immediate industry.

In this episode I as what does it really mean to innovate in music and the arts? Is it about challenging personal limits, transforming the industry, or simply responding to cultural shifts with authenticity?

From the overuse of buzzwords in marketing to the pressure to stand out in a crowded creative landscape, I explore how language shapes our understanding of innovation—and how it can sometimes dilute the impact of truly groundbreaking work. I also reflect on my own experiences as a harpist and musician in London, where the abundance of art and culture can feel both inspiring and overwhelming.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt the pressure to be different, to innovate, or to prove their worth in a world that’s constantly moving. It’s a reminder that sometimes, doing something well and with integrity is enough—and that the words we use to describe ourselves and our work matter more than we think.
