Previously, ⁤Hepburn balanced music ‌creation⁢ with other commitments. ⁤The grant allows him dedicated studio time.‌ “Up until now I’ve been writing and recording as best I can around other commitments, but now I’ll have the chance‍ to block out‍ a decent amount ​of time in ⁤a professional studio to create this, ​which is really ⁢liberating. ⁣I think ‍it’ll make for much better [quality] music too,” he explained.
