The British think they can sing and Robbie is the main inspiration for their dreams
of becoming professional musicians!

More than half of the UK population think they could compose music and sing - and
Robbie Williams is their main inspiration, according to the recent survey by the
free web image and music hosting service, The Canopy Channel.

The survey of creative talent and ambition in the UK was carried out by the new free
online digital library, www.canopychannel.com - a free platform that encourages web
users to become musicians and composers by publishing lyrics and to share new music
online.

The Canopy Channel has tapped into the public's love of using the new web-based
audio production programmes to produce and share music online - and express their
creativity.

Publicity about the survey has boosted visits to the new free online digital
library, which is seeing its highest visitor numbers since its launch in 2006.

The Canopy Channel is not only a free online music hosting website, but is popular
with writers, designers and other creative types too, who can create a free online
digital image library, or publish and share videos online.

Results of this investigation show that 23 per cent of the British population aspire
to become professional musicians. Also, among them 13 per cent hold a very strong
dream to take up vocal coaching or join a band, before they die.

Author-Composer Robbie Williams was by far the most inspirational musician mentioned
by the 3,000 respondents to the survey; the second most influential music star was
the indestructible pop queen Madonna.
