Blog Entry 9: Cheating on my guitar....

Yo....

What a weekend!

I just want to say massive thanks to everyone who came to the Mixmag party yesterday! It was mental... Kissy was out of this world on the CDJ's and the sun was out. Pucker....

You may remember me mentioning in my last ramble that I was a little nervous about doing a live PA.
But to be honest, it felt amazing being able to run around like a lunatic without the risk of tripping over my guitar lead!
Check it out...



My angel of the North London Massive Impression...



Having it....



Shamless self promo.... 'Mayday' EP in my back pocket!



You cant do PA and not jumping on a beer bench surely?!
In fact, I got so in to it I decided it was a good idea to start swinging from the tree on the left with one hand!



Dizzee made a little cameo appearance.



What I gained in performance points I lost in measures of blood from my hand! But I'd do it again....

So the next gig is the Camden Crawl Island life BOAT PARTY! Again, its a first for me but Im really looking forward to it check out the line up...



You can grab tickets from here http://www.thecamdencrawl.com/partners/daytime/island-records

Hopefully see you down there!

Till the next time...

Blog Entry 7: Acoustic Numbers and Volcanos Pooping Parties!

Word.

Its been a weird week huh?!
I was all geared up to shoot the video for my debut single Zambezi in Cuba, when all off sudden mother nature went a bit loco!

Thank god for travel insurance I say... we've rebooked our flights for the 2nd week in May.

I'm type the of person who likes to keep busy so, I decided to hit the studio to record some live tracks! 'Mayday' and 'A-Liar' are on my myspace player for your pleasure.... Let me know what you think!

I've also decided to take up boxing. Yep you read right.... little old me throwing punches!
I had my first lesson yesterday and my instructor says I have a mean left hook.... so don't mess! Lol... I feel silly typing that.
But its true, so don't! It seems to be helping with my stress levels. I'm as calm as you like.... can't wait for the next lesson.

In other news I have a gig this weekend with Mr Kissy Sell Out and Tine Tempah at Vibe bar, Shordeitch. Its a Mixmag party so its guaranteed to be fun. I'm not nervous but I suppose you could say I'm curious. Its a Live PA. I haven't done one of those in years! Surely I feel naked without my guitar?! Who knows.... either way bring on the fun and sunshine.

Come down if you can its free!

Till the next time....

Hi everybody,

Quick update on a few things that are going on in my world. I've announced lots of new dates for April and May which you can find on my facebook and myspace page. Please come along and say hi-it'd be great to see you down at one of them. The first gig is this Wednesday (14th April) at Pure Groove but like I say there are lots more to come. We've also been allowed to announce some festival dates including The Great Escape in Brighton, Camden Crawl and Lovebox in Victoria Park, London.

In between all the gigs I'm also going to be jetting off to Cuba to shoot the video for my next single Zambezi. Bring on the sunshine!!

Blog Entry 5: "Miss You' Acoustic Video

Hey guys...

I thought i'd better give you all something new to watch.

Seeing as its valentines day, I think this acoustic version of 'Miss You' is very fitting!

I love singing it, I hope you all enjoy listening to it.

Blog Entry 4: Young and Lost....

Ok, its 1.31am and I cant sleep. I'm literally buzzing like a Man City fan who's just found out their singing Robinho (that didn't go so well did it!)

I've just come back from headlining Young & Lost @ the Lock Tavern.

I was feeling really down today for various reasons. I turned up at the venue and didn't even hit the bar to scope the mood. Pure Autopilot.

I jumped on stage, looked up and recognized lots of you from facebook/myspace/twitter and lots of lovely new fans too. It was amazing.... I've never had a response like that. I almost didn't have to sing half the songs 'cos you guys were so on top of it!

Nearly reduced to tears like a little girl at one point..... Thank you so much!

Sky One, Road Wars, Chicken - bed.

Goodnight.
