“If I didn’t have any music in my life I would probably just be failing at school, still getting all the anger in me building up, and letting it go on everyone. Without music I would be nothing – I just wouldn’t be happy. At primary school I felt distant, and then in year 8 I started self-harming – I just had to let out all my frustration. Music is now a really big part of my life – I can’t imagine my life without it.” — 51st State Band Member
