This is a great moment for me SPROTT friends. It is a great feeling knowing to whom I can express my humble thanks for my current artistic core’s output. For a while I wondered why I was here and how the process of selecting my bursary was organized & selected. Everything happened so fast for me over e-mails and without hearing a voice. It is my honour to write my thanks to your organization’s body, hearts and minds. So many times I have thought about how mite I be able to change my life for the positive, How can I dig deeper into my spirits desire to continue moving and learning forward in the entertainment & media industry, and how can I influence the world with compassion and style’n audio or visual stories. The SPROTT FOUNDATION have gifted me this way of life that I am living on this very day, at this exact moment. My ears are open to an amazing director / professor with Weengushk guest - Nancy Rossov. My eyes always find respect when speaking with Shirley & Nano. I only have so much time in this world and with your hands of direction & funding I am on a trail I cannot remove my smile from each day I walk and wake.
Opportunity is not something you waste or take the time to wonder where may its path lead. It was a difficult choice to move to the island and away from my family with such a short timeline to make my decision and organize the move details. To leave my studio loft apartment and recording studio set-up and basically leave behind anything I had structured in my life with work, my live radio program at CFMU 93.3 FM - VINYL SINNERS RADIO. My artistic output and settings / events. Each day I open my door here in M’Chigeeng and I realize with your help and guidance we together have made the right decisions.
My name is Colin Robert Michael Cooper and today I say we honesty and a humble smile, I am here, I am happy, We can influence the change.
Sincerely
Colin R.M Cooper
