He is sitting looking up at the camera.This quote from Hector says juggling a music career with a busy venue day-job has its challenges but it gives my life variety, balance and structure. Studying two different subjects helped prepare my brain for the flexibility required.This quote from Hector says I think collaboration is very important. Whether it's a band or a study group, having more than one brain to bounce ideas off can lead you in new artistic or scholarly directions you mightn't have initially considered.This quote from Hector says I’d say my time at university instilled in me a deeper appreciation for culture in the broadest sense, but especially Scottish culture, and I love doing what I can to champion Scottish artists in my work.
