Getting started

My day was so random!

1 client didn't show so I had a millon years to kill! I decided to do some window shopping and before I knew it i had to head to my next client.
I only had 2 sessions today but somehow it felt like I'd been working all day!

I done some writing this evening which is a good improvement. I've been listening to Sade's album and I'm feeling so inspired...Her music is timeless and her voice is beautiful.
If I could write songs like her I'd be 1 happy lady :)

Practise makes perfect!...x

I have to MAKE time!

What a crazy week it has been for me!
Training 4-5 clients a day is NOT easy and often leaves me feeling shattered. I just find it really hard to motivate myself when I know that I've had such a busy day.When get home I want to eat and go straight to bed!

For the last couple of weeks, work has been my excuse for not writing but it looks as if my schedule won't be easing up any time soon so I really need to get back into my music if I truly want to succeed.
There are definitely not enough hours in the day but I have to make time.

I hate writing my blog sometimes because it's not just for others to read it's for me sit back and analyse what steps i've actually made towards reaching my goal of becoming a recording artist. When I've done nothing or less than I'd hoped, I feel really disappointed in myself...

It is time to pick myself up and start being proactive because I know that what I put out DEFO comes back to me...With all that said I'm aiming to have a productive week.

Night...xx

Tired!

I've had such a long day!

My day started at 5.30am and I've trained 4 clients and have had several power naps to and from each session! I just need them lol, power naps keep me going!!

Music for me has been a bit slow...but I'm hoping to get on track this week.

It seems as if over the past few weeks I've been focusing on doing my 2 performances that I've  put writing to the back of mind which is definitely the last thing I should have done.
I should be writing something everyday no matter how big or small...

Consistency is my mantra, I need to start saying it again!

I'm still pretty excited that I was mentioned in US Vogue *happy dance* can't wait to buy the issue as memorabilia :)

Goodnight...x

Back to Business!

I can't believe I haven't blogged in a week! I suck!

I am officially getting stuck in as of today lol.

Musically I haven't been as productive as I would've like due to being so busy with work. My schedule of late has been crazy and after getting home from a long day I just want to sleep! I know that I have to make time for my music so I just need to make a concious effort and I'm sure I'll be fine :)

Changing the subject, a couple of months ago I trained an editor of US Vogue magazine, because she was writing an article on legs and the Tracy Anderson method.  Today I received a message from my sister explaining that she had mentioned me personally in this article, which was the most exciting news I've heard in a while.  Have a read of the article below and make sure you pick up a copy when it comes out in the UK next week.

Anyway I have a really early start tomorrow so I'll leave you to it.

Goodnight guys. x

'Sketch' Baby!

I'm still feeling great after doing a performance at Sketch yesterday evening.

A friend of mine decided to put together an event that incorporates both Music and Fashion.

Yesterday was the first VMF- Voice.Meets.Fashion event and I was uber excited to be apart of it.

Sketch is a really plush venue, with plenty of interesting themes throughout. I'd been there on a few occasions and was aware of the type of crowds they pull in so I was looking forward to see how the evening would turn out....

Yesterday was performance night and on top of having a busy work day, I had to rush home, spruce and prepare!

I had a lot of support from friends and family and I really appreciated everyone that come to watch me sing.

I sung 2 of my own songs and a cover of Beyonce's- Halo and was very pleased with the response from the audience. :)

I managed to get my brother to film this performance so I will get that video uploaded on here as soon as possible!

I'm going to continue to look for venues and events to perform at as I need to get some more experience. It really does feel awesome being up on the stage, holding the mic and singing the song in which I took time out to write...it feels even better when they're appreciated....

My 1st official Open Mic!

Over the last week I have been practising with Ben (my guitarist) for today's Open Mic Gig.

It took place at 'The Ritzy' in Brixton. The build up to today has been nerve racking but once I was singing I was fine. I think all our practising paid off as me and Ben were both really in sync and the performance went well.

I sung 3 songs...
- Flowing
- Because of You
- Jamming (Bob Marley Cover)

I got a great reception from the audience and lovely claps and cheers between each song!
It felt great being on stage singing away, I can defo get used to it!!!

My Family came to support and they all gave me some good feedback and i was glad that I done them proud...

Unfortunately I didn't get a proper video of my performance but I have another one on Monday so i'll be sure to film that.
Below are a few snaps of me singing.

Goodnight...xx

Lets Sing!

Is it just me or does singing just sort you out? lol

Today I took out my Keyshia Cole album and have been singing away! I love her voice and her first album 'The Way It Is' is defo one of my favourites.

For some reason I felt really tired today, so this afternoon I had an awesome nap, spoke to my Gorgeous niece Lily via Skype and had another session with Benjamin (guitarist).

Haven't done any writing over the past couple days but hopefully I'll be inspired tomorrow.

Well I have an early start tomorrow and will be training some fun clients so I'm really looking forward to the day ahead!

Goodnight...xx
; )

Practice makes Perfect...

It felt great to have the day off today!

I had a lovely lie in and managed to get a last minute physio session in for my foot. It's practically better now so I'm extremely happy about that.

I felt like a bit of a loner today! I ate lunch at Nandos all alone...It did give me some time to reflect but it would've been nice to have had a bud to mingle with.

After Lunch, I came home and had a listen to the songs I recorded during the week and picked out parts that I wanted to change or enhance etc.

I have a performance coming up soon so I've been practising my set with Ben (my guitarist) constantly and I'm so  proud of what we have. We done a live stream via Skype for my Sister in New York and she really loved  the arrangement and I'm glad that I got some great feedback from her.

Fingers cross it all goes well! I'm sure it will if we carry on in this way...xx

Lazy with the blogging!

OMG! I have been uber lazy with the posts, not good!

Since my last post I've recorded 2 songs which is funtimes! I've had a few sessions with my guitarist and my set is really coming along.

I had a jamming session with him today and we just sang through the songs. It's so much fun knowing that we've made so much progress :)

I've not done much writing but i'm planning to do some tomorrow as I have a day off.

Hopefully I can keep up with my blog posts this week.

Night...x
