In homage to the Brit Awards I fancied doing a personal post about music and it's influence on me and my career. Basically I thought I'd fill you in about me first. So I'm a Singer/Songwriter, I'm currently writing my album. I've written for a few famous acts like Rudimental.
My music is a mix of Blues, Hip hop, Soul, Indie and a dash of pop. I've been singing since I can remember really and I knew thats what I always wanted to do. I grew up listening to Marvin Gaye, Coldplay, Aretha Franklin, The Rolling Stones and The Who. So a mixed bag really!
At the moment I'm loving Bastille, Santigold, Mumford and Sons, Lana Del Rey, Ben Howard and Everything Everything. Again, mixed bag.
If I had to pick one LEGENDARY album it would have to be Marvin Gaye's What's going on. EPIC!
Music and fashion go hand in had, I love watching music videos to not only hear the songs but see what the artistes are wearing. My music style icons Old and New would have to be Shirley Bassey and Paloma Faith.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy watching the Brits tonight! I know I will! Let me know who you want to win what. I'd love Ben Howard to win British Breakthrough act!
Enjoy!
