2007 is here!!!

Well its finally 2007, I had a great christmas with my family, we ate, drank, laughed, played games, and watched movies, it was great. I spent new year being very quiet and still in fact i was meditating. It was so nice. Well what now? Well my street track, Bumper and my sweet Honey are doing great, here in London, Miami and New York currently to be released in jamaica. General Lee produced the record and he's in New york currently. General Lee has helped me so much with all my promotion on my track including Sexy baal-ed. Its great working with him.

I have been accepted by a modeling agency so I will fill in more about that when jobs come up.
To be honest i am taking thing kinna easy at he moment and taking my time to ease into this year. It wount be long before things start getting frantic.

General lee and i are looking to go to Jamaica at the end of january to do a hard core re-mix of Sexy baal-ed. Cant wait.

Back from Jamaica

Well I have been back a week nowand still i am having to get use to the cold. It has taken me a while to get back in the swing of things, just getting back up to speed has been hard. But exciting new, I have just recorded a Dj and r&b self penned creation over the Sly and Robbie 'Taxi'riddim, which was producd by General Lee. Both versions sound HEAVY. I fist started to get the inspiration for the DJ version on the plane coming back from Jamica and I could'nt wait to get home and write the rest of it. I came back last Tuesday and on the Friday I had recorded it.......Thats me I dont waist time. Both versions are going to be released in New York, England, and Jamaica, for the new year. Watch these riddims ripp up the charts... remember you heard this here first.

Photo Shoot....

Hi All.... Yesterday I had my photo shoot that I have been preparing for, for the past few days!!! It went really well. I got the items I chose from the designers earlier this week and used them for the pictures. I had 5 pieces from Simms and a few from Lubita (the two designers I had meeting with this week). The photo shoot started at 6:30am (I know... EARLY!!!). It was in a place called Port Royal, we went to some ruins there and that’s where we did the photo shoot. A guy called Roy Sweetland was the photographer; he did a really great job!

After the photo shoot... I spent the rest of the day relaxing!

Today me and my agent Monifa went and picked up the pictures... They are looking great. We picked some out, they are being sent to some key people... Hopefully the new pictures will bring some interest.

Other than that i met with a friend today from Montego Bay and had lunch and spent time catching up. So I guess I have had a fairly relaxing day.

Tomorrow's rescheduled gig in Ocho Rios has been cancelled again... Waiting to hear the new date!!!

Catch you all later.

Zipp FM Radio interview...

Today was another good day!!! I had a live phone in radio interview with Zipp FM... We talked about the shows I have been doing since being out here in Jamaica and I sang Sexy Baal-ed live over the phone for them...

Also today I have been topping up on my tan, have been on the beach most of the day relaxing enjoying the sun and eating fried fish and festival (hahaha I know you guys are jealous). I met with one of the best designers out here... Her name is Simms, and she had the most amazing designs, her collection was great. She will be giving me 5 pieces for my photo shoot tomorrow. So all in all... I am looking tanned up, and feeling refreshed, and will be looking good for my photo shoot tomorrow.

I've got to go now... on my way to perform at Christopher’s @ Club Quad... should be a great show, especially with the live band.

CBM Morning TV....

Hi All.... Hope you guys had a good weekend!!! Apart from meeting with a designer called Lubita from Slovakia, who showed me her collection, she had some really great designs and she will be giving some of her designs for my photo shoot. Mine was very relaxing, it rained all weekend here in Jamaica and I stayed in the apartment and watched DVD after DVD after DVD (it was great)!!!

After such a relaxing weekend, I started Monday morning earlier than ever. I woke up at 4:30am (I know, crazy), as I did the morning show on CBM TV... I performed a track and then was interviewed. It was a really good interview; we talked about everything... the musical journey to where I am today, me practicing the Alexander Technique to modelling. Straight after the CBM TV morning show I headed down to the gym for my usual morning work out... when i got there everyone recognised me from the morning show (made me feel warm inside, and maybe a little bit like a star :) What a great feeing)

This afternoon I have been rehearsing as a show has come up at the last minute for tomorrow at Club Quad (the biggest club in Jamaica)... So I have been with the band most of the day rehearsing for that. I am really looking forward to it; it will be great performing there.

So once again I have been busy busy busy!!! Just the way I like it :)

Much Love

Flooding in Ocho Rios....

Yesterday's TV performance with Hype TV was amazing. The interview was great; we talked about my past in my music career, the modelling I have done and about the Alexander Technique. After the interview the played the Sexy baal-ed video then I went on to performing two tracks... "Chyna Whyne" and "Freedom of the Soul". To say the least the whole thing was amazing!!!! Everyone is showing me so much love out here it is unreal.

Today's show in Ocho Rios as been cancelled.... It has been raining here all week, and Ocho Rios is completed flooded, and is it was an out door event so it just can't happen. They promoters have rescheduled it to next Friday. So I guess its not all bad, means a get a night off :)

Oh… another bit of good news.... last week we had 500 copies of Sexy Baal-ed CDs pressed, and they are ALL sold out!!!! So we plan to get another 500 copies pressed and ready for distribution.... Amazing things are happening... and I am so excited.

Will get back to you all over the weekend.

Much Love

Hype TV!!!!!!!!!!!

Today i am real excited. I started my day with a Pilate’s class (in the early hours of the morning, being the early bird that I am).

I am on my way shortly to do my first live TV appearance of this trip. Its at Hype TV, on a show called "Up & Live". The show starts at 7:30pm (i am buzzing with excitement as you can imagine). Throughout the day i did rehearsals with the singers for tonight’s show. So I will be performing "Freedom of the Soul" and then they will do a 30 minute live interview with me straight after the performance... I'm going to be talking about my project... How I got to where I am with this whole thing... talking about my journey to Jamaica, the video and talking about the "Alexander Technique".

Also I have been rehearsing with the live band for Friday's performance in Ocho Rios... And the band is sounding amazing!!!! I am really looking forward to the performance :)

I will get back to you all tomorrow, and let you know how the TV performance went.

That's all for now!!!!

Rolling with the punches...

Hey everyone... Today, again I started my day at 6am at the gym in an aerobics class. Man.... Jamaican aerobics is so different to back in the UK, its much harder!!! But i guess that’s why everyone looks so great out here.

This afternoon we had a meeting with a promoter who plans to book me for a show out here in December; it is supposed to be a massive event with some massive names on the bill... I really want to do it; it'll be great to be confirmed for it and to be performing along side some great artistes. Unfortunately though things weren't quite all wrapped up in today's meeting, so we have decided to meet again on Friday... Fingers crossed all goes well.

So after the meeting I was feeling a little down in dumps... i think i just wanted it to be wrapped up and confirmed, and to know that I am coming back in a few weeks for this show. So feeling a little sad i went back to the apartment and got into bed and chilled for a few hours...

Also today I have started rehearsals with my band for my show on Friday... as I got to rehearsals one of the band members handed a copy of the Star Newspaper to me... And in there was a big picture of me!!! What an amazing feeling, so from feeling a little low... I was lifted again. And more so, i was reassured again that I am making some real progress with this project. It was just what I needed to lift my spirits ;)

So I am gonna keep soldiering on with this, roll with punches and make big things happen for me!!!

Much Love

Hot 102.2 FM interview

I started my day this morning at a 6am aerobics class... It got me ready and gave me that feel good factor for the rest of the day.

Today I had the most excellent radio interview with Hot 102.2 FM's Richie B at 4pm prime time (Jamaica's equivalent to the UK's drive time shows). The interview was amazing... quite lengthy and I felt so much love from it towards the whole project. Throughout the interview Richie B played three of my tracks... "Chyne Whyne", "Stay Low" and "Sexy Baal-ed". All in all... the interview lasted about 20 - 25 mins... It was such a good feeling to see the support and love I am being shown out here once again.

It was the first time it rained all day today, but hey.... I can't complain!!! Its been so hot out here! Besides it gave me the time to go and join the gym... So I ended my day as I started it... At the gym :) Twice in one day... now that ain't bad!!!

Much Love
