This week's episode sees me speaking to Norwich's very own Luke Peter Foster, a musician and product designer who has been travelling on this journey since a young age.  Having been taught to play and create music from a young age, Luke has come from a background of vast musical knowledge, and has been using his experience to explore different sounds and styles of music. Previously moving around in the 'Alternative/Indie' side of music, he has hints of spoken word, rap, and electronic across his catalogue and is always experimenting with his sound. Having graduated from University in Product Design, Luke is also testing the waters of another path, exploring his creativity in other fields such as Design, where we also speak about what it's like to pursue 2 different sides of the creative spectrum.
