COMEDY BEAR COSTUME - EPK - EUROPEAN SONGWRITING MARATHON - PHOTOSHOOT...

Woopie Doodie! We have an EPK! An officially finished EPK all sparkly and beautiful! Big spanks to the team behind this video :) It was shot in London, Hamburg, Exeter, Leeds and Scarborough, and basically condenses all my musical adventures over the past 11 years into a few wee minutes. Clever eh? You can watch it, rate it, date it here:



I got back last week from an absolute marathon of songwriting - 3 weeks trecking across europe writing with some of the biggest producers and songwriters in the biz, including the teams behind Marit Larsen, Skunk Anansie, Novastar, Amy Winehouse, The Sugarbabes, Leona Lewis, James Morrison... The list goes on I won't bore you. All nice folk. Yipeeee! I think we now have a first single, it's the big song i've been looking to write for about the last 11 years :) Now I think we have it, all will be revealed keep ure panties on! We're recording it properly next week. I didn't get to see much of the cities I went to, but I did take a few pics. I took a gondala from hamburg to oslo, then to brussels, then rotterdam, then back to brussels (stupid i know), then smokey london town, a bicycle to berlin and then back to my little pad in hamburg! Wowie wow! Tired? Yes. Happy? Very. The new songs rock. Here are a few pics of my journey:





In other news, a friend of mine had a big gig recently, and asked to go onstage and dance like a mother funker in a comedy bear costume. Fun times! How to get lady attention very swiftly, wear a comedy bear costume. Try it, it really works :)




I had my first ever real photo-shoot with a proper team a few weeks back, a stylist, make-up dude, lighting rigs the works. Bit weird. Friggin cool though. We got some surreal pictures for the artwork and for the website. Like semi-iconic pics? They actually make me look pretty dapper! Ha! OMG! Amazing location for the shoot. It was like a fairytale fantasy land. Quite trippy. Like vogue meets hobo. Very me really :) Perfecto location. It was actually this antique collector's house. Was insane. The family were loveies though, made me honey tea and shit. High-five! My management took a pic on a camera phone that you can see below, chow chow amigoes for now!!!
