Hi, I know this isn't the "usual" way by which to introduce myself, but I've long been an admirer of your unique creativity.
Plus - you strike me as the kind of artist who might actually read these messages!
I'm about to release what I hope will be my breakthrough track - a song "from" George Michael called "In Memoriam."

I'm a former opera singer, who used to have your cds playing in my car in the 90s as I drove around Europe singing opera! however, that all had to end following an hit diagnosis, when I was living in Italy, which - thanks to Bologna general hospital's incompetence, ended up becoming full blown AIDS in 2005.
As you can see, I've managed to survive, recover, and now I'm trying not to squander an expensive music conservatoire education by 'rebranding' myself as "Classicalbanksy," - a composer/singer-songwriter, who's slightly maverick, slightly renegade, slightly anti-establishment but fully grateful to still be here!
"In Memoriam" will be my 5th single, my Apple Music profile is here:

And - I would LOVE to work with you! You are one of the very few artists around who not only has something to say every time, but you have the courage to say it in your own quite unique and unparalleled way. There is so much I could learn from you. There's also so much I could bring to a collaboration with you, coming as I do from a vocal background.
I HOPe my instinct is right - that somehow, this message will come to your attention. And if so, i hope you feel inclined to reply! I started remixing Madonna while on Chemo in 2006, and am pretty much self-taught thereafter, mostly "trial and error." But the hobby became an obsession, and it is absolutely a goal of mine to have worked with someone as proficient technically as you, and be able to say "I held my own" in the studio with you!
Meantime, much love from London.
Simon (aka) Classicalbanksy
