I've raised £1000 to help fund purchase of instruments and production equipment

I am Aidan Watters, born and raised in the countryside of South Armagh in Ireland. Growing up and going through education it seemed the only avenues available to me were the building trade or IT work as this is what our school pushed on us. Three schools took the fun and the spirit out of teaching music so much that I ignored what was natural to me. Now I am more mature and have centred my life around music. I have multiple jobs to keep me alive and fed but it takes money to make money in the music industry, and for this reason I find myself struggling. Without depressing anyone, Its getting harder than ever to thrive in this world, without help I am worried how far I can go. I have added a link to my YouTube which has some of my very early songs I have written although they have not been treated to much production. Feel free to take a nosey and hopefully you will find something in me worth nuturing.
