It’s been a while since I wrote on here, shame on me! I have a beautiful website and must use it more. Everything has been all go for me, I’m absolutely shattered but I have a number of projects on the go and I thought I’d let you know about them all and where I’m roughly at with them. That way, you’re fully up to date. So here goes…
THE NEW ALBUM
I received a rough version of the full album today and it’s amazing. It’s pop, it’s soul, it’s current, it’s so cool! I’m really excited for you to hear it. It’s a ten track album, at the moment, with potential for 12 depending on what I can afford to record. The first single is a song called ‘Cry Wolf’ and I think it’s the best thing I’ve ever recorded, I think you’ll all feel the same too.
So the next thing that happens in the backing vocalists go in and add some depth to the vocals and the arrangements and then the album goes into post production and then mastering, which is what you’ll eventually hear when the album is released.
I really want this album to be released on a label, it deserves it! So it may be slightly longer before you hear anything, that’s because I want to give this record the very best chance I can.
CHARITY SHOWS AND SINGLE
I will be announcing working with a very well known company and a national charity in the coming months with regards to fundraising shows. It’s something that’s very close to my heart and the studio version of ‘Hold on High’, remember that from my acoustic tour in 2014?!, is sounding great.
COLLABORATIONS
I’m collaborating with several extremely well known producers in the soul world for their records so you may just hear something new sooner than you think!
SONGWRITING
I’ve also started writing for other people too and I’m recording guide vocals on 5 – 6 new tracks in the coming weeks to be ‘shopped’ to artists!
WRITING
I have started writing a book too, not an autobiography as such, my life hasn’t been that interesting, but a book about the funny things which have happened in my professional career. I’ve sent the first chapter to some author friends of mine and they’ve been laughing out loud at how funny it is, so I’m hopeful!
RADIO
Well, who knows… 😉
So now you all know where I’m at! I’ll see you all soon
