Artist Statement:
I wrote this ballad after a very tense moment in my life where it felt as though the world was too much to handle and all I could think about was reverting back to my childhood for a simpler time and a time that made sense. I think this song to me is unsettled at parts purely because of the unsettling nature of life that gets thrown at you without a moments notice.
Artist: Emmett Hodgins
Program: Bachelors of Jazz Performance
I am a jazz pianist from Victoria BC who grew up playing folk, fiddle and classical music until I moved to Toronto and start experimenting with jazz and alternative music. I enjoy pushing the boundaries of musical genre and experimenting with different sounds in my music. I play mostly piano with a little upright bass and I sing.
