Hello and 'thank you' for visiting this page to read more about 'Shiloha' and myself, Ian Martyn, as the songwriter, musician and producer.
'Shiloha' is at the forefront of this exciting journey of my creative music, showcasing incredible talent behind the scenes of this epic adventure of taking my song creations to be shared to a far reaching audience.
Sometimes 'life' seems to take us on journeys we don't expect, or deliver experiences which touch us deeply inside.
A whole array of emotions can swirl within us, affecting our mood, changing our perspective, even our lives.
We all probably share in this life journey, the soul journey.
We may question, laugh, cry, feel alone, loved, lost. So many emotions.
With my song writing and music compositions I try to assemble some of these emotions to describe, share, appreciate a 'happening' that may have existed or has indeed happened.
Back in my studio I pull these thoughts and experiences together, feeling what the story is trying to tell me, what kind of music, instrument, style would best portray the very essence of this moment.
​The AWEN symbol within the 'Shiloha' eye logo further portrays the meaning and significance of this symbol to represent the idealism that 'Shiloha' stands for.

November Updates
Just been putting the finishing touches to my new songs.
It really has been a creative and enjoyable period of the music production side.
The social media and promotion by ways of digital marketing is not as easy for me though.
I’m having to reach out for support and mentorship for guidance through this quagmire of modern methods to get my music to the right places. On the one hand this is a resource which helps many musicians become heard and established.On the other it is a barrier to success if not equipped with these skills. Any advice is always welcome!
In the meantime, whilst pursuing musical promotion and progress, here is a taster of my track 'The Sermon’, which narrates the admonishment by Mother Earth and Nature to mankind and the path we are all on. A poigniant reminder of our place in the Ecosystem that we call home.

What's happening in the 'Shiloha' world at the moment
It has been a positively busy and exciting past few months, writing, recording and finalising the latest 'Shiloha' creations. Now these songs are ready to fly and find their way in to the audio world of the unexpecting, picking out the emotions that lie within us.
You may laugh, cry, feel warm, dance, remember a time or close friend, chill, be inspired.
Whatever you may gain from the lyrics or the music.
​
Look out for the songs on the radio, maybe a movie or tv programme.
If you hear a song contact me to say where and when.
If you have a favourite or have been moved emotionally, let me know.
Most of all enjoy.
Ian Martyn
