Everyone has their own journey, and a lot has changed in this world.; with people facing different challenges everyday. Cassette Monkeys has begun as an NFT collection around a documentary film exploring the potential of creativity in overcoming adversity.
Cassette Monkeys also facilitates creativity, mental health discussions and awareness as a way to help people empower themselves, and the world around them.
Building safe spaces through art is one of the most impactful ways to change the world.
Leading by example, Cassette Monkeys provides a template for creative change and innovation. The team will help show everyone that they are an artist, no matter where their creative journey takes them, and that this can help unlock self-awareness and core life skills to lead a a life of well-being and fulfilment.
Emma Hames
Founder & CEO
Hi, I'm Emma. I trained in education and science, whilst my biggest passion has always been music. I started playing saxophone aged 10, and picked up guitar in my teens. I've been songwriting for about 5-10 years, and recently started producing and releasing tracks as I continue recovering from a prescription medicine injury - the reason why Cassette Monkeys was created. The first two songs written for the associated film were played on BBC Introducing in the UK and will be released on Spotify soon. I also paint in my spare time as a way to switch off and de-screen. Both music and art continue to be integral to my healing, and I hope this journey can help others in their healing, and creating a no-regrets life. My website can be found at emmahames.com.
