In this week’s episode of the Common Creative Podcast, James Sills shares how singing connects people, builds community, and enhances well-being. From football chants to leading choirs, he explores the joy of group singing, its mental health benefits, and why the process matters more than performance. Chris and James also discuss singing’s role in overcoming loneliness and rekindling human connection.

James Sills is a musician, author, and TEDx speaker passionate about connecting people through singing. Founder of Sofa Singers and author of Do Sing, he works globally to inspire community and well-being through music. His latest project, Bantam of the Opera, transforms football fans into performers for a new BBC series.

Tune in and rediscover the magic of collective music-making!
