the story behind our music

KAY HUGHES

In 2020, about 10 years after Richard (Kay's husband) showed early signs of Dementia, Kay had an idea for a song dedicated to him.  

 

By sheer chance Kay met Jon Leslie, a producer. She  mentioned the song to him and how therapeutic it felt when she sang it. Jon, sensing the importance of this, volunteered his services to her.

During the recording sessions, it became obvious that one song could not tell “the whole story”. They then combined their talents, wrote 9 songs together, and procured the services of wonderfully sympathetic musicians from Israel, Ukraine, Nashville USA and Australia, including Arnhem Land. 

Jon Leslie

In 2020, Jon Leslie (producer, mixer, musician & co-writer of Invisible No More) offered  to support and mentor Kay, making it possible for meaningful, beautiful music inspired by dementia to be developed.
