Paige Phillips - Bronze Arts Award Journey
Welcome to my Blog!
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Explore the Arts as a Participant

To start my Arts Award Journey, I have spent time exploring the space. I want to develop my musical ability, exploring the DJ decks, creating and producing songs for Soundcloud. I want to progress as an artist and create a platform. Along with experimenting with different styles and using different equipment I wouldn’t normally have access to.

EXPLORING THE STUDIO
My time in the studio I have been exploring recording with professional microphones and recording software. I recorded my first track Runaway. It took a few takes and we changed up some of the angels you hear things in. I hated recording for the first time in the studio because I was super nervous but as we went on I got really into it and started to enjoy the process more than I thought I would. My song was recorded in Cubas.

VIDEO 2 - Behind the Scenes
When I recorded the song I explained to the tutor I wanted a section that sounded almost dreamy. To do this I asked him to make each lyric sound like it came from a different ear and we layered them on top of each other.
Soundcloud
This is my Soundcloud channel, where I post tracks. Riot is my performance name, its simple and easy to remember. I designed my logo on Canva, I like it.

Here I was editing and designing my website as well as recording Runaway. I have tried recording with different software. First I used Cubase and then tried Logic Pro. I like Logic better. The lay out is better and clearer. It is also easier to see the track when counting in to record.

PART C :
This is my Artis inspiration. I have been inspired by the best artist in Doncaster, YungBlud. Hes genuinely honest with his music and talks about struggles and how people can get through them. I love his PunkRock style.
I have created a magazine all about his rise to fame, early life and friendships he made along the way. Ive also reflected on how he’s influenced me as an artist.

SKILL SHARE
PART D SKILL SHARE
For my skill share, I’m going to teach lyric writing. I’m teaching lyric writing because I enjoy it. It is a strong skill of mine and I’d like to share it.
I spent time planning my skill share and created a six step lesson plan. This guide is similar to how I would go about writing my own songs. Hopefully my step by step plan is clear and explains well how to write your own song.
I’ve created worksheets on Canva to make the writing process easier for my lesson. One is to make the brain storming part easier, with a space to add your backing track name and the second one is to write down the name of the song created and the song. I will also practice delivering my skill share to make sure I have all the tools I need.
