About The Busker Project


The Busker Project is a character development initiative designed to gather the deepest nuances surrounding the drastic changes a musician endures on the journey from a busker to a signed artist. 

It also explores how those changes affect their interpersonal relationships, the people around them, and their own expectations of what success means, even when it comes with a decrease in artistic license and freedom to do what brings them joy. 

The Busker Project is an integral part of the novel-writing process for the book I'm currently working on, which is based on a fictional musician. The exact details of the book are only shared with selected participants.
