New Music – John Wiseman
Working on an album for the New Year, John is a singer/songwriter and composer from Cockermouth who has recorded multiple EPs such as ‘Filling the Void’ and ‘Not One Step Back.’
Starting when he was six, John has come a long way from learning to play nursery rhymes. Once he won the 2013 ‘Fanfare’ competition at the Royal Opera House in London, what was a hobby between school time quickly became a career choice and an obsession.
“The idea that I could write a 30 minute orchestral piece and have audiences listen, appreciate and interpret it has fascinated me since. I began songwriting when I was studying composition at the University of Hertfordshire, releasing ‘Not One Step Back’ in 2017 and creating ‘Provoke The Nation’ for my final major project at University. I really enjoy writing poetry and music, so songwriting was the natural progression.”
Preferring his home studio setup, John’s songwriting/composing process starts with whatever he has to hand, usually a guitar or a piano.
“I like to have songs and compositions mostly written before I start recording it on the computer; if I have an idea that doesn’t quite cut it, I’ll usually shelve it for a few months and work on something else.”
Working on a new album which combines various genres and philosophies, John is aiming for a release around March/ April time. “It’s still very much in its infancy, I’d recommend listening to ‘Filling the Void’ in the meantime.”
All of John’s music is available for streaming on Apple Music and Spotify, you can also check out his Facebook page and website at www.wisethemusic.com of Facebook @@Wisethemusic
