music to write to

If you’re looking for music to help you write – you’ve come to the right place. Here you’ll find carefully curated tracks and playlists to create the optimal environment for word production. You’ll also find essays and articles that have been inspired by music and hopefully, the writers will share the playlists that inspired them.

If you have a writing you love to work to, we’d love to hear it. Likewise, if you’ve written something that was inspired by music, we’d love to read it (and hear the music too!). Have a look round, have a listen, have a read and if you’re the type that loves to listen to music whiule you write, take a moment and share your playlist with us.

The first visual memory I have is that of the white upright piano in Singapore, Hell and the Dark Forces lived at the bottom, Heaven and the Angels at the top, they would play battles through my fingers and I was hooked.

As a psychology graduate I studied how sound affects human performance.

As a musician I compose instrumental music that stimulates your brain but doesn't mess with your language centers, leaving you free to be creative and brilliant without distraction.

As a curator I research how music can improve your life and create flow - I can tell you what music to listen to when studying for a test and why listening to sad music can make you feel better.

As a creator / contributor at musicto I’m part of a global creator community that collaborates through music.  You can learn more about our community here.
