My last blog post was a reflection on really how things are never as they seem!
Expectations being too high (or for ones own personal ego fragility... too low)
My expectations are pretty much set on low as I am never expecting anything hugely excitingly life changing to happen as a result of my music.
THEN!
amazingly!
I won the very competition I was talking about in my last blog post
Much twittering and Facebook posting happened in the days following the official announcement in March and a massive amount of support from friends which I have to say absolutely blew me away. The team at Talenthouse were fabulous and phone calls and emails followed which really made me feel special.
What hit me after around a week, was that in all the years I have been supporting musicians and hosting online events and performances, was how little time I had been keeping up with my own marketing and promotion.
So here it is! the new and improved shameless self promotion

For those of you with gambling tendencies or would love to invest some virtual happiness in my possible famousness, then please invest here :)

Dealing with management rather than directly with a producer/musician is a somewhat new experience for me as all collaborations I have been involved with before have been on a one to one basis. Perhaps its a celeb thang
"I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated." {James Brown}
Having not really taken much notice of celeb DJ's, it is a little startling to look objectively at 'their' world which for the most part I notice how 'closed' it is. How much of a 'boys club' it appears to be and more noticeably, there are very few females , certainly on the electronica scene.
I am talking about those who dont just 'remix' others work, but those who compose and release originals too. Definitely a male dominated area so far, that and the young age of the majority!

and I'm just an old fogey ;)
Aside from that I have also been carrying on as usual and discovering new music / Musicians and DJs online!
One such brilliant discovery has been actually from Twitter
Patrick and Chris, 2 absolutely charming guys who between them have been passionately bringing trance/dance DJ's and Musicians together
through their new website
With a mega event in the planning for 2012 please help me in supporting these guys and also the artists they are connecting! They are seriously awesome and genuinely cool guys.
Connect with them too and check out their webpage!

And please don't forget, when it comes to music, that outdated idea of a songwriter/ singer/musician/producer sitting up all night to write that song, sing it, AND get it right, is all nonsense.....
Night time is for sleeping !
