Hey… I am a musician, a husband, a father and a dog-owner. I am passionate about music yet, thirty years on, I’m only just beginning to explore all that I am capable of. I am hungry and will be learning, discovering and creating till the day I die… I am in love with words, a would-be poet even, but am often at a loss for what to say. I speak best through my guitar. I love my friends and find energy and inspiration in people more often than in solitude. I am a thinker, always questioning, always wrestling, and always trying to find a better way. I live in the moment, for the today, for the now. Everything I hope for or fear is a present reality; I strive never to wish my life away. My journey as a professional musician began in my bedroom, studying Queen songs before heading off to learn at London’s Guitar Institute. In 1987 the Stuart David band was formed, lighting up the London club scene before becoming ‘The Treasure Park’. Through those years I played guitar for the likes of Ben Okafor and Kevin Prosch before, via my work as a session musician, I met Martin Smith and Tim Jupp, two young musicians from the South Coast of England with a dream and a project. The past 17 years working and playing as a part of Delirious has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. I am proud of what we achieved: the songs we wrote and recorded, and the shows we played to millions. But while 2009 marked the end of this chapter of my life, we’re still a long way from the end of the story. The new “now” is one of collaboration and engagement, of meeting, creating and performing with people who share my hopes and heart. With a new manager and a new publishing deal I’m ready to start this next chapter in the Stu G story. I hope that you’ll join me.

We’ve forgotten that a rich life consists fundamentally of serving others, trying to leave the world a little better than you found it. We need the courage to question the powers that be, the courage to be impatient with evil and patient with people, the courage to fight for social justice. In many instances we will be stepping out on nothing, and just hoping to land on something. But that’s the struggle. To live is to wrestle with despair, yet never allow despair to have the last word.”</p> <p>Cornel West</p>http://stugworld.com/post/690698678http://stugworld.com/post/690698678Sat, 12 Jun 2010 16:25:27 +0100cornel west<p>To be a musician is really something.
