My Beyonce Experience!!

Hey Guys!

Yesterday was possibly 1 of the best evenings of my life!
I was invited as a guest of 1 of my clients to see Beyonce live at the Shepherds Bush Empire for a secret gig! 


I was completely freaking out as Beyonce is my IDOL! I'm so inspired by her music and I admire her performance skills so I was over the moon when I got the invite :)

I arrived at the venue and was given a VIP pass and headed up to the seating area where drinks were flowing and the atmosphere was buzzing.
I wasn't sure where I'd be sitting so I spruced around and spotted a few familiar faces.

After a while I was escorted to the reserved seating area. Soon after, the fans standing below started to scream as Adele entered. Jessie J, Tinie Tempah and Alexis Jordon entered shortly after.

Then...Gwyneth Paltrow (my client) and Jay-Z walked in and took their seats. I was then escorted over to sit beside Gywneth and before I knew it Beyonce was on stage!!!

(Jay-Z, Gwyneth, Me and Rita Ora sitting in the front!)

I actually couldn't cope! She completely rocked my world! 

Beyonce's performance was incredible! Her live vocals were out of this world and she danced with every ounce of her body! She just gives it her ALL and is a born entertainer.

I was screaming and singing along the entire time and was in my element!

After the show, I went to the VIP lounge had some Champagne and was introduced to Jay-Z who was convinced we had met before ( I think i'd remember that lol). He was a really nice Guy. Down to earth and so proud of his wife.

Last but not least, I was taken to Beyonce's dressing room where I was introduced (at this point I COULD NOT believe she was in front of me!)... I said...

"Hi Beyonce...well done for tonight, you were amazing...I love you!" lol I had to tell her! haha!!! She shook my hand and said thank you.

She was gorgeous in the flesh and seemed very humble, I just couldn't believe that i'd met her!

That's it guys! I had the most amazing night! I was hanging with A-listers and got star treatment all night.

It was definitely a taster of what's to come for me :)

Finished!

So I managed to finish the song I was writing woo hoo! I personally don't think it's up there with some of the better songs that I've written but at least I'm writing...

I've found another instrumental that I plan to write to but I'll get started on that song tomorrow after work.

It's practically FRIDAY!!! yaaay! It has been an exhausting week for me I cant wait to have a lie in on Saturday :)

Goodnight...xx

Full on!

I've had a crazy busy day today! But I'm now home and have done all the boring stuff, washing, work prep etc. I also had some time to unwind and watch 'Luther'. I hardly watch TV but I can't miss my Luther lol such a captivating programme!

I started writing a song last night and my aim this evening is to complete it. I was actually on a roll writing it last night but I had to be up at 5.40am and if i went bed any later than I had I don't think I would've been able to function.

I'm signing out to go write...Night...xx

Brainstorming

This evening I decided ask my Mum to help me brainstorm some song ideas. She was totally drifting off track and actually started rapping and singing them, imagine that loool! Her ideas weren't necessarily what I wanted to hear but some of the things she was coming up with helped me to draw some ideas from my own mind!

I have some good song concepts and i'm about to get cracking with my writing for this eve!

Although I do have a headache at the moment and I'm really hoping it goes away because when your head has a pulse, it's kind of hard to focus lol....xx

Busy week ahead!

So I've just been looking at my schedule for this week and it's going to be a busy one! However I'm quite excited because this is a test for me to see how much I can actually accomplish and how well I can function after my hectic work days.

I've arranged a jamming session for tomorrow evening with my guitarist as we haven't had one in a few weeks which is shocking!

I'm gonna crack on with my writing this week and hopefully I'll write some interesting songs, possibly some about how tired I am but I guess everyone will be able to relate to those lyrics lool!

Have a great week people...x

Today has flown by!

I arrived home from work and had to send a few emails...before I knew it, it was 9pm! I was like..."wait, what just happened?" I was actually so confused and couldn't believe how time had flown!

I've pretty much completed all my boring tasks and now it's songtime :)


My first session isn't until 12 so not only can I have a bit of a lie in, I have a chance to be uber productive!

Enjoy the rest of your evening guys...x

From Bad to Good :)

My day didn't get off to the best start but it gradually got better!

Today I've been listening to some great songs that have given me ideas and inspiration.

It's kinda late but i'm gonna do some writing and then head to bed. Don't really have much to say...So I'll leave you with one of my tracks of the moment '1+1' By Beyonce...x

Songwriting!

This evening my aim is to find the instrumentals for a few songs that are in my favs list and start writing!

Im gonna start in about 30mins as I have to have a bath, do my washing and pack as I'll be heading to Liverpool this weekend  :)

Anywhoo, I'm going to crack with all my tasks and hopefully tomorrow I'll blog about the amazing songs I wrote lol....x

Finishing touches.

So I only just got back home after heading to the studio straight from work. I had a few finishing touches that I felt needed to made to a few the tracks that I had recorded and I wanted them sorted ASAP.

I'm really happy with how the songs have ended up :) and am looking forward to getting back in the studio and recording more!

Haven't had a chance to write any songs today but I have written down some ideas for songs.
Even though I have an intense day tomorrow, I do have some breaks where I won't be travelling so my plan is to get stuck in whenever I can!....x

Meltdown!

So occasionally I have a meltdown!  My meltdowns consist of an evaluation of my life and loads of tears but I always manage to come back round other side being as positive as ever!

I'm so glad that I have the support of my Family and close friends because they're always there to give advice, lend a helping hand and encourage me to pursue my dreams.

They give me the little kick I often need to get back on track :)

When I write songs, I record bits and pieces on either my phone or my mic so I don't forget the melody. My Brother is always insisting I send the files to him or at least share an audio on my blog but I never listen lol.


I was writing this evening and recorded what I wrote but I have no idea whatsoever how to upload an audio! I tried to make a video but its not working out. I've been trying for like an hour!!

I'll try and figure it out and get some audio's up ASAP :)

Rain please GO AWAY!

Today hasn't been too manic! I had a 5.30am which is still a challenge, it just seems so early!

The weather hasn't exactly been helping motivate me very much! Rain, rain, rain.... since sunday! I'm just so over this country.

I've set a plan for this week and I'm aiming to get through everything. Its definitely achievable, I just need to be consistent (which is a huge problem of mine!)

My first session isn't until 10am tomorrow so I don't need to rush to bed!

I have my pen and notebook beside me on my dresser...time to write...x
