Now that's what I call Music...

Today has been quite busy for me as I've been up and down London working.
I'm tired and my muscles are sore,  however...somewhere between being tired and sore I managed to fit in some retail therapy and treated myself to loads of bits and pieces! I even came home and done a fashion show for myself lol!

This evening I had a jamming session with a Guitarist. OMG, I loved it! My songs came alive and the guitar added another dimension.
Having a live instrument present made me feel more connected and it definitely helped bring out my vocals.

My Guitarist was excellent. He took on board everything I asked and was even doing some improvisation which was just awesome!

I have no idea why i didn't do this before??
Not only can I write and make music with him, he has agreed to do open mic nights and gigs with me, woohoo!
I haven't done any performances just yet but defo see a bright future for us!

I cannot wait till our session next week :)
I'll be recording some of our sessions and posting them here and on You Tube so stay tuned...

Anyhoo, I have to be up at 5.30am so I need to sort my life out for work in the morning.

Goodnight xx

Cheeeeeessse!

I've just written a well cheesy song haha! But I'm feeling pretty uplifted :)

Its about not giving up and reaching for your dreams and I personally think that if you put your mind to something anything is possible!

Night People xx

Excitement!

I don't have much to say today!!...However,I'm UBER excited because I've arranged a jamming session with a guitarist.
Having live instruments can really give songs a different edge, so we're gonna have some fun tomorrow and create some melodies for new songs as well as working on some acoustic versions for the songs I have already written!

Also hoping to get in the studio either this weekend or sometime next week which is going to be fun fun fun!!

Now I'm off to do an hour of music then time for bed...x

What a day...

I tried my best to be productive today and I've done well!

I managed to blog earlier on today and uploaded another one of my songs called 'Flowing Through My Veins'. So far I've had some positive feedback and it feels great to know that the people that have listened appreciate my writing and singing.

I done some writing today...not as much as I would've liked but a good start. I will carry on tomorrow as I have a huge gap between Training.

I felt like i wasted a lot of time recording a video for You Tube. My aim was to upload a live video of me doing a cover and i chose Adele's 'Rolling In The Deep'. It's a great song and I've been hearing it loads on the radio, TV etc so thought it was a good choice. I'm uber critical of myself and won't upload anything that I'm not confident about. 
I done recording after recording and I wasn't sure about them so I need to get a second opinion from a family member as they're always honest and have my best interest at heart.
At some point my rendition of Adele's song will be put up, hopefully sooner than later!

I'd like to say a huge thanks to the Friends that have shared my blog and have continued to visit, I think you're ALL awesome!!!

Goodnight...xx

Lets Get Busy...

Today my Clients cancelled so I'm seizing this opportunity to get some work done!

I have set myself some tasks today and I feel they're easy to accomplish considering I have plenty of time. The more the better, there is no limit on what I can achieve today...I'm excited!!!

Below is a song I just uploaded onto You Tube. I wrote and recorded it a few months back and I feel its still a bit rough but I wanted to get it out there anyway.
So take some time out and have a listen...x

Summer Time :)

I had a lovely weekend, hope you all did too!

Yesterday was the start of British Summertime woohoo! The weather can really dictate your mood so hopefully the Sun will be shining loads and I'll feel really inspired.

This week isn't looking crazy busy so I'm optimistic about it being productive.
My aims for this week are:

To really focus and push myself. Defo need to step things up a level and STOP letting myself get away with not working towards my Goal!

Happy Monday...x

Jazz Hands!

This afternoon I went to the Wimbledon Theatre to watch my friend in Hairspray! It was excellent.

I'm a big Musical Theatre fan as I grew up watching Musicals with my Mum and Big Sister, a favourite of ours being The Sound Of Music.

I've been involved in performing arts ever since I could remember and started Ballet at the age of 3.
By the time I was 6, I went on to learn Tap,Singing and Acting and over the years learnt Flamenco, Modern Dance and Contemporary. At 16, I went on to study Musical Theatre at college.

Being at the performance today made me realise why I loved performing so much...It reminded me of being up there on the stage and the incredible rush you get!

One day I hope to be performing my own material on stage for thousands of people and singing my heart out. I know that if I work hard enough that Dream will come true...
