Description

Errollyn Wallen's life story is one of unexpected twists and turns. Born in Belize and raised in Tottenham, she found herself drawn to composing classical music - a path that seemed almost predetermined. This memoir offers a unique glimpse into the mind of a composer, exploring her experiences growing up as a black woman in the UK and shedding light on how she sees and hears the world. Through a collection of observations, diaries, and essays, Wallen shares her thoughts on creativity, identity, and the power of music. Part personal reflection, part insight into the creative process, Becoming a Composer is an intriguing look at the life and work of a leading international composer and singer-songwriter.
