Travelling, Worldwide Musician :)
Im John a 20 year old musician from Wigan in the UK, travelling the world, and I really need your help with :
A huge possiblity to go to Nashville, US arose to start my possible career and maybe a chance to finally record! However without the funds this isn't so possible, I'd love to make my dream come true now I have the opportunity.
My Story:
When I was 3 Years old I was adopted by an amazing family who took me, raised and called me their own.
However at the age of 15 things started to change, I disobyed them, didnt listen and failed them after everything they did.
At 12 i was diagnosed with Migraines and at 16 diagnosed with ClusterHeadaches.
This had a huge impact on my life, stress killed me everyday and i just wanted a normal life. From having to get O2 treatment while travelling in so many different countries, my medical bills are sky high and I physically can't fund myself anymore.
I voluntarly put myself into social services as things got very tense and stressful being at the family home.
When i turned 16 i met my biological mother who bought me a guitar and told me to start playing, it will help you she said, and so i did.
This led on to playing many gigs around the northwest and also many charity events and santa dashes!
This was a huge learning curve for me and the fact i managed to teach myself to do this was a huge thing!
As a musician things are very tight with money etc, as I'm also travelling the world and learning more things along the way, i want to stay in this situation and travel this amazing world!
Now here I am at 20 years old travelling what I love to do best, camping in forests, beaches, streets, camp sites, dumpster diving, meeting new people, is wonderful. However I don't have support from family now things are hard with no money.
Yes i can find jobs wherever I go but to be able to actually get the pay check there's information like NIN and addresses I don't have since I am travelling. I've been using guitars all around the world that have been lent to me but had to be given back by friends along the way!
Now thanks to recent donations I have one!
I'm now more flexible on where i can go and busk in the streets around the world this is the start to living out my dream.
I have very little contact with my family now after a couple of christmases and birthdays on my own but i love them and want to make them proud. If you could help me live my dream and help me find accomodation, food and maybe even live out my dream it would mean the world to me!
Thank you for taking the time to read this, any donations would really mean a lot to me !
I really dont want to stop travelling and go home to living in the streets on my own, I've always found it hard to settle anywhere after what i went through and this is the only thing i truly enjoy doing, it's my life!
Contributions!
For every donation made, once i have recorded a live set, you will recieve a full album/download!
Also as of the time i can get back on my feet, i will start live feeds of my street perfoming wherever i am in the world, and the stories i have, so you can see what you have done for me!
Finally i'll be writing songs for you guys thanking the appreciation i have for you!!
Many Thanks
John x
