Great! So I lost my lyric-music-notebook!
A little irritated at first.. For like the first 10minutes, then I thought... surely, you wrote these songs,, you've got to remember them... and if you can't then they were obviously just not worth keeping! And so begins a weekend of re-creativity ... Interesting I must admit.
So far I've recalled about 60% of the material.. of which 20% is missing considerable fragments, and then , and here's the really exciting part (ok, maybe not thaaaat exciting)... I've written what... 3 new piece ( well, 1 full, 1 skeletal with a little bit of meat and the other, just a riff...) Not bad going for a chic who kinda wanted to believe all was lost!!
Now all I have to do is lay the tracks down and get all o y'all to buy it and I'll be minted!! Although... If you just listen appreciate and spread.. I'll be equally happy - not as wealthy but nevertheless happy! :)

Film Debut's a Plenty!
This month has been a string of Film related debuts!! Ok, not a long string.. a short one consisting of two knots!!
So alongside recording tracks for this EP ( which I think I've finally titled! :)- have I said that already some where? ) Anyway... alongside EP recording and producing.. I've also found myself writing for film scripts... No, it ain't Hollywood stylee... but it's blooming close as far as I'm concerned!! It's a short, "Misled by Beauty" by French Director Alice Dollé Nicol and I'm honoured to have been invited to be part of it!! I probably shouldn't be blabbing on about it as details aren't quite out yet!! (Let's call this an exclusive! and that's why it's good to be on this particular blog-trail!) Release isn't for a few more months, and as soon as deets are known, I'll let you know where to go find!!
Knot two... Went for an audition... just for the heck of it.. and have been cast in an independent!! It's a small role.. but you'll get to see my face on screen for more than a few hot minutes!! Filming doesn't kick off till mid next month (October) but I am very excited about it!
Gosh, I feel like one a Beyonce!!! LOL!! All this acting, singing, dancing, prancing and movie soundtracking got me feeling all ... I don't know.. insert word (............) there!
That's it for now Folks!!

Recording The EP begins!
This weekend I went into Central London (west central to be more specific), walked into a room said hi to the incredible being that was about to record me and began the process of laying down a stack of tracks for what's going to be a freaking phenomenal EP! Yeay!!
Was a lot of fun, I have to admit. It's a wonder we actually got anything done! Matt G.(Gush Studios) has been an absolute pleasure to work with, and no doubt he'll continue to be! My girls Audra and Mandisa came through for me and have already begun to sprinkle their magic over it all , starting with 'Who Am I' which is already sounding delectable and we've only laid down lead, bvs and rhythm guitar! no bass, drums or anything else.. so you can only imagine what it's gonna sound like when it's done!! whooop!!
Or at least I hope so. There is always that thing of sometimes, expression gets lost in translation.. and sometimes it just doesn't sound the same once it's out of your head.. but I'm gonna try to avoid that!!
It's an issue though. I ain't gonna lie! Sometimes you can't stop the mind from clicking over, or the ideas flooding in.. oooh, maybe we could do it like this, and then have a bit of that in ... but that means we'll need to get a so and so in.. that could be... well you get the picture. And then I remember... if you put too many ingredients into a pot it won't necessarily make the food taste sweet! And with that in mind, I've decided to keep this particular musical dish as simple as possible.. but you know I'm a Naija babe, which means I like peppe' so rest assured the EP's gonna be HOT!!
Still a lot that needs doing, and I'll have to get my ass in gear if I'm gonna call in the rest of the troops to help me pull this together. You know musicians... always busy doing one project or another... so, I'll have to blackmail them with promises of fun, laughter, candy, wine and simply great company!!
Oh, and there's the question of how many tracks should I put on the EP? I had a number in mind, then I thought.. nah, can't be bothered, then I thought but I should be and then I thought... but I also want to add another track over all... and so the mystery becomes... how many tracks in all will be on this EP?? Guess we'll all ( myself included) just have to wait and see!!

Let the Bloggin Commence
How exciting is this?? Looks like I've gone and got myself a blogsite page thing!! Thanks to the wonderwoman www.toshaalbor.com, without whom this would so not be operational... as I'm pretty slack at this kinda thing!
Anyhow.. let's see. What do I have to say that could be of interest to you?? Truth... Not that much really.
Although, I will try my best to keep this updated with even more joyousness from me and other equally talented souls!
Welcome on this, bound to be Exceptional Ride!!
