Music
Since developing a passion for music at an early age, Guy has taken every opportunity available to hone and develop his skills as a musician, vocalist and performer. In 2016, he made the decision to pick up his pen and start creating something of his own. This spark ignited a flame inside him which has led to him performing his own music across the UK, in cities such as Leeds, Edinburgh and Dunfermline.
Guy has been involved in various project outwith his personal songwriting, performing live and release music with acts such as King Fuzz (Leeds) and Trading Glances (Dunfermline), as well as writing the music for songs in independent feature film It Takes Two (2022, Happy Valley Pictures) and currently writing songs for a brand-new musical with Playhouse Theatre Company in Fife.
Guy is currently living in Lothian, Scotland where he is looking to make a name for himself as an independent artist and songwriter, alongside working with Playhouse Theatre Company and teaching. This past year has been a busy one, where he has begun work on an ambitious long term project with Playhouse Theatre Company, as well as finishing writing the songs for his debut EP and recording them in Liverpool with producer Joe Sage (Mathilda Mae, LARO)
“I hope that through my music, people can start to feel a real sense of self-worth, that they don't owe life anything and can feel at liberty to go out into the world and make the most of everything they do. Personally I have always struggled to voice my feelings, and through songwriting I get the chance to tell the people closest to me (and the world!) how I feel, and to encourage them to do the same. As the saying goes, a problem shared is a problem halved." (Guy Bathgate)
