After writing about thousands of other artists on this blog, I decided it was time to press my own music properly.
I’ve just launched my official vinyl and CD shop: elasticstage.com/musicalartizan
This isn’t a normal record shop.
Nothing is mass-produced.
Every copy is made to order.
I’ve partnered with ElasticStage in the UK. They don’t press 500 copies that sit in a warehouse. When you order a vinyl or CD, your copy is manufactured as a first-generation master — one by one. It’s better for the planet, with no waste, and the sound quality is significantly higher than traditional pressing.
And because it’s made to order, I can do something special:
Each release includes an exclusive original handmade artwork inside the cover. No stock photo. A real piece of art you only get with the physical copy.
What’s in the shop right now:
1. Piano 2025 Album
My reflective piano album. Made for quiet listening, reading, and writing. If you’ve followed my Kingdom Poetry blog, this is the soundtrack to that world.
In a year where I’ve had 1,472,154 total plays, views and reads across YouTube (4.59k subs, 202 videos), SoundCloud (674K), N1M (155K) and the blogs (241K), I’ve learned one thing: streams are fleeting, but a physical record on your shelf is forever.
People still want something real to hold. I do.
I don't actually have a physical shop in West Yorkshire, but ElasticStage ships worldwide.
If you want to support independent music in its most tangible form — this is it.

Thank you to everyone who has followed the journey — from Yorkshire Prestige Awards Winner 2024, to ISSA Gold Member, to now.
More releases are coming soon.
