Scientist Give Songwriting A Go...

I can safely say that when I was in school I lacked concentration in any academic subject and quickly re-gained energy once it was time for a creative class. I would be the one who people were asking to write their song in the music class. If felt good. But I bet it didn't feel half as good as the odd one that just seemed to be good at everything - like maths, physics, chemistry, biology, history AND music. Erm, this simply wasn't fair.

My guess is that those went on to be mathematicians or scientists anyway. But what about the creativity that they possess? Where does that go?

Well, here's a nice article of an Oxford Scientist who has decided to give songwriting a go and has already had a great start by becoming a finalist in a UK Songwriting competition.

Scientist wows judges in songwriting contest

An Oxford scientist has discovered he has a hidden talent for songwriting after reaching the final of a national contest.

Memory research scientist Dr Andy Lee is celebrating after winning a place in the final of the UK Songwriting Contest.

He earned his spot in the final of the instrumental section with his classical piano composition entitled Airborne and he was also a finalist with his piece entitled A Walk in the Clouds.

Dr Lee, 29, first started playing the piano when he was five years old, but decided to make a career in the science world because it was more secure.
