Surprisingly, the old dream of leaving my job and becoming a full-time singer isn't the only enticing option for me anymore. I've worked hard to achieve this sweet spot i'm in, an artist that brought her educational and professional experience to also, work in the arts. I want to grow this sweet spot, enjoy my creative side simply to be creative. Because I love it.

The sweet spot I mentioned, grows in communities like this. Ones where I'm not trying to utilise or capitalise artistic connections for selfish reasons, but to enjoy, create, and feel. It's a struggle to make music in such a fast-paced place. A creative community is needed for inspiration and creative juice.

I find myself drawn to the arts, professionally and personally. When I'm not managing communications at Art Jameel, writing and creating -- i'm writing and creating for myself, as a songwriter, a singer and composer.
