A new 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.

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.
