Paul Whitacre is a Singer and Songwriter based in Denver, Colorado who was part of the band, ‘Whitacre’ who had toured nationally and played some major venues including Red Rocks Amphitheatre, but COVID-19 closed that chapter of music sooner than expected. With what initially felt like a painful ending became a beautiful beginning. In March of 2020, Paul started self-producing his new solo project. Since the beginning of quarantine, he has written, produced, and released two Eps and had over 400,000 listens on Spotify.

In facing adversity of the quarantine, Paul decided to use the quarantine as an opportunity, not allowing it to become an excuse, and is found a way to progress his career and music regardless.

A.P Beswick is an Author of Children's Books, here is his story in his own words; 

 

"I began writing around two years ago when my children asked me to create a bedtime story for them and there the lost lion was created. Soon what followed was the pelacrocomonkeyphant (a mysterious creature that is a blend of a pelican, a crocodile a monkey and an elephant) and teddy and the lost sock. My children loved these stories.

​

I would spend most nights sat by their beds reading these to them and seeing my youngest daughters face light up as she intently listened to the words I had put together with such fascination was the most enjoyable experience for myself.

​

I had the idea for my first novel around six years ago, however it wasn’t until I started writing bedtime stories for my children that I gained the confidence to push myself to try and write it down.

 

It has been a real journey writing my story, from plotting and scene-setting to character development I have had to learn a lot as I went along. I find writing therapeutic and often after a long or busy day at work, once my daughter is tucked up in bed I sit at my laptop and continue to work on my stories which helps me to unwind and relax.

 

Mental health is my vocation and my passion and I try to include topics subtly within my stories with the hope that one day someone might pick up my story, realise that they are not alone in the way they are feeling, that it is ok to feel that way and to talk to someone.

​

I hope you enjoy my stories and I look forward to sharing this journey with you"
