So, in my post earlier, I explained that I was having a slight "writers block" moment and it was beginning to affect me! Luckily, I have an awesome family that constantly show me support and are always willing to lend a helping hand.
My Brother, Sister in law and Mother all sat in my living room giving me ideas, constructive criticism and ethusiasm GALORE!
We came up with some great ideas for 2 new songs I'm writing and thankfully my doubt and negative thoughts for this track have been replaced with confident, positive and exciting ones ;)
Tomorrow I'll be recording some vocals for a friend of mine then heading straight to training, but I know I'll be looking forward to getting home and working on my songs!
Exciting times...night guys xx

You can't write when you're stressed!
Hey Guys!
I've been spending time bonding with my iPad 2! I'm defo in LOVE! I hardly use my laptop (sadtimes) and it just collects dust in my room!
I purchased some music apps that are amazing and i'm having a great time learning how to use them.
I've been song writing...but over the last week have been a little stressed which is definitely having an effect on my music, writers block is an understatement. I've been saying I "Can't" which isn't helping so this evening i'm going to do some positive thinking and crack on :)
I'm also planning to record an acoustic video with my guitarist for my blog and You Tube page so keep checking in!
Have a great eve xx

Missing Person?!!
Where have I been?!! This blog has been completely neglected...NY kept me busy :)
I arrived back in London Town on Monday 15th of August and since then have just been trying to get back into the swing of things. Getting back to our time zone was somewhat a challenge but life here is a lot more chilled in comparison to what I was doing in the Hamptons, New York.
I felt that my time out there was going by super fast and didn't really write much songs! But I'm home now, back on the time zone, back to work and most importantly back to music!
I'm extremely optimistic about the remainder of the year and feel that if i really focus and put my mind to it, i'll be Living my Dream...

NY Preparation!
Hey Guys, It's been a while since I've blogged!
What's new with me...I had a great weekend away in Portugal :) The Sun was shining, I ate great food and felt rested (as well as 3lbs heavier lol).
I'll be jetting of to NY on Sunday! Defo looking forward to it as the weather in London is very depressing.
I'll be away for 3weeks and have set myself some music tasks that I feel are achievable so I'll be getting down to business.
Yesterday I had a jamming session with my Guitarist. We sung through some of my songs and tried out a couple that I might like to cover.
I plan to do a few gigs so keep posted for info about that when I get back from the Big Apple!

Regular day...
Today has been pretty normal!...
I was up at 5.30am for a 7am session (always a killer) and had another session after and was done!
I came home had a nap and continued packing for my weekend away to Faro in Portugal, I'm too excited lol! Sun, Sea and No work...it's gonna be awesome :)
I've haven't done much song writing, just bits and pieces here and there but nothing that I feel I can really make a full song out of...
My plan for the rest of the eve is to...
-do some more packing
-eat dinner whilst watching Luther
-bath
-song writing (after my bath I always feel like I'm relaxed and my brain is in gear, hence why I write so late!)
-bed
I guess that's all from me folks...Have a good evening...xx

Wireless Festival!
On Friday, a friend of mine mentioned that there were still tickets for The Wireless Festival so I seized my opportunity and got booking :)
The weather was great and the atmosphere was awesome! Just loads of people coming together to appreciate music.
I'm a big fan of Janalle Monae and she performed yesterday and was AMAZING!! She is so creative and has really different approach to performing. It's very animated and at times unusual but I think she's fabulous. She creates stories and really tries to transport you there! At one point she had the entire crowd kneeling!! So awesome!
I also saw Katy B and J-cole amongst others and had a great time.
(Back in Ballet mode haha, a random (dodgy) arabesque from Tamsin, i do love her!)
(Tamsin and me having a cuddle! I'm not a giant she's just small lol)
Good food, Great people and Great Music!

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 :)
