Tom Walker: How music and creativity can help your wellbeing

Ever thought about using your phone for something a little more creative than just messaging friends and watching cat videos?

The internet is full of opportunities and there are so many cool apps to boost your creativity, discover your passions and become the best version of yourself.

Although he’s made a career out of singing and writing songs, Tom says that you don’t need to be the best guitarist or pianist in the world to start your musical career. You can get online and find ways to download beats, write lyrics and create tracks and songs to express your creativity.

Did you know that music can do wonders for your mental health? It’s a great way to help you process your feelings and give words to things you can’t explain. Making music can also take your mind off worries and help you to overcome difficulties. So, what are you waiting for? Get online and find the best way to start creating your sound.

Remember to always check new websites and apps with a trusted adult to make sure they are safe to use.

Be careful to make sure that you have permission to download and use any music in your own creations - if you're not sure, ask an adult to help.
