We are Humans: The Musician (Part 2)
It's hard to be a musician in today's society. Balancing what you are supposed to do and have. But it doesn't mean I'm down and out. As a musician, it's not a fluid source of money. I'm doing it as a passion and trying to depend on it by putting my music out there.
You can make a living from your guitar, but it's not the ideal life. I did try to learn reading musical notes in school, but it didn't stick. But I was still able to play because I learnt it from just hearing the music itself. However, my technique doesn't equate to results, as I was falling back on genres like classics...Beethoven and Mozart all created something from nothing, no matter whether it came from an inspiration or a thought they had.

We are Humans: The Musician (Part 1)
It doesn't matter where you are from, it's something we can all can connect to. Music just breaks boundaries. Music happens in everyday life, right? See the car moving right now, that engine is vibrating at a specific frequency, which creates sound. If that's sped up it goes higher and if it slows down it goes lower. Everything is Music and it's something I can find everywhere.

"You'd be surprised. It's not always 'give me money or give me a home'. Often it's just acknowledgment. People walk by and you're on the streets already feeling pretty down n' out and people don't look at you in the eye! You're invisible." - Phil Bond (Senior Manager, Student Experience Office)

Hello all,
Building Links in Kelowna (BLINK) is an initiative started by UBCO students. The purpose of BLINK is to break the stereotypes that exist towards homelessness. We hope to build a sustainable solution from already existing strategies to alleviate homelessness.
