For this week's casual music video I decided to upload Meri From Yamba's first Twitch Stream Star audition song [as we have this year's Twitch Stream Star Audition song up there already: https://youtu.be/jSeSoc59FN4].

I know I've been quite quiet thi...

Reality TV Talent Competitions are DANGEROUS, Please Share this

Here's a preview of tomorrow's vlog... It's a controversial one!

This is something I [obviously] have a very strong opinion on and that has been brought up with me so many times, I figured I'd address it in it's own dedicated video. Reality TV Talent Competitions.

I've put "Please Share this" into the title, becau...

Here's a preview of this week's coming casual music video! It's my original 'Catch'Em All', performed acoustically while wearing my Pikachu hat!

Do you really need THAT much money to record an album??

This week's vlog really covered something there was a strong need for on my Twitch channel [which made me feel like, there's probably a strong need for it in general].

I'm currently raising money on my Twitch channel to record an album and I constantly have people coming into chat asking "do you really need that much mo...

If you play guitar and sing, watch this, I beg you

Here's this week's vlog! Working with the new Twitch show schedule I started this week made it a bit harder to get all the filming done in time for the vlog, but fortunately I was able to work with the footage I had!

I've been watching other vlogs and getting ideas of ways I can vary my vlog a bit [close ups and text] t...

Is Being In A Specific Niche Actually Beneficial As A Musician?

As someone that's been in very specific niche [geek pop, though you may have noticed I've changed this] and known others that have as well... I've both been asked about this and thought about it a lot.

I think the commonly propulgated opinion on the matter leaves a lot to be desired... Especially as "learning the hard w...

Break Through [Acoustic]

This week's casual music video is an acoustic rendition of one of my more serious songs, 'Break Through'.

This song was written during the Twitch stream where I was fundraising money for the Sony Foundation, taking input from chat. It's a song about the mental game of pushing through adversity.

There's something b...

The Story Behind 'Baby Baby Butt So Sexy'

If you want to know the story [as well as reasoning & schemes] behind 'Baby Baby Butt So Sexy', I've just uploaded a video that breaks it down sexy style for you!

You should definitely watch it through a pair of oversized glasses while drinking a questionable pink drink from a shot glass...

Can You Tell The Difference?

Play a musical game with me!

This week for my vlog I put the vlog into two parts, in case people prefer to just look at [play] one.

The first video is can you tell the difference between a wooden flute & a metal flute. The second video is can you tell the difference between a flute with a c-foot and a flute wi...

Actual Reasons To Get A Kindle Vs Actually Crap Reasons

A Kindle has been a welcome new addition to my life and routine relatively recently, but I've found the actual benefits and the ones that were promoted to induce me to initially want to buy a Kindle have not lined up... So, I figured, I'd create a video so I could try my hand at better informing new people who find themselves...

Daryl The Demonic Dolphin [Song preview!]

Here's a preview of my cute, condescending, political, joyous and demonic next single!! 'Daryl The Demonic Dolphin'!

The song was actually inspired by a second-hand ukulele that my parents bought me at the markets, the photo above is of the dolphin that was part of the ukulele's design... I was wondering "what can I do ...

Send This To Someone Who Offered You Exposure

Today's vlog maybe shorter than others I've made... But by jeez it was a tough one! You may not see it on my face, but I believe this was Take 62.

I feel like this is both an important topic and one that's somewhat amusing to cover [for those who actually understand it]. My hope is that people can actually send this to ...

This week's casual music video proves at once that I am a maths nerd... And... Have legs :P Yes, it's more of a full body video.

As always, Ninja Club members are credited at the end of the video!!

P.S. Did you figure out the line in the song that's a lie?

Sadness Is Not Depression, Saying Something In Anger Doesn't Invalidate It & More Emotional Things

This is the vlog I put up today, it's about emotions... Something I don't think is handled as well as it could be nowadays. Something, I believe, that's more important than we're acknowledging it is... And, certainly, more real. I hope I was able to get my points across well, and that maybe, just maybe, it could inspire some ...

Out Of The Test Tube [Acoustic] Music Video

It's been nice winding down a little bit after the Violalation! I was able to do a live show in Young yesterday [I might drop some BTS photos here for you soon!!], and take a bit of time to do some good old fashioned collapsing in bed & sleeping!

But, starting tomorrow, I'll be getting right back into my regular sch...

Full Violalation Concert

I just finished the final concert for my "Impossible Thing In A Week" challenge this morning. It was definitely one helluva week!!

The challenge was to essentially learn the viola [I've never played any bowed stringed instruments before in my life prior] and put together an [approx] hour-long concert in a week.

Has The Twitch Music / Twitch Creative Bubble Burst From Over-saturation?

Here's a preview of tomorrow's vlog! Usually I can't give previews of the vlogs because I make the vlogs the same days I post them... But, today I made the vlog in advance because I'm going to be spending tomorrow preparing for the Impossible Thing In A Week Challenge.

This is a controversial vlog to make, but I feel li...

Streaming the entire Impossible Thing In A Week Challenge 2

I've decided to do something quite different...  I'm nervous and excited and scared and it feels crazy, but sometimes we've just got to go a little mad, don't we?

I'm going to be live streaming my entire Impossible Thing In A Week Challenge 2 [attempting to learn viola in a week] on Twitch. This means that morning ...
