Mission Statement



Part of what I wanted to do with this blog is to share all the nitty gritty, trials and tribulations on the road to creating a living making music. While it's easy to get a look behind the scenes of the superstar rock'n'roll lifestyle through various artists social media (see Rhianna's Instagram if you're not sure what I'm talking about) the parts that tend to be left out are all the normal, tough, working your butt off stuff that comes before anything else ever does.

So that's what I wanted to share. It's all well and good to sell this untouchable perfection but let's face it, we're all just little fleshy specs of existence in the grand scheme of things and I think we'd all be a lot better off if we stopped trying to separate and elevate ourselves from each other, it lacks compassion and solidarity.

So having said that I will be updating more frequently with everything from seemingly trivial life stuff like clothes, food or books I'm reading, to philosophical rants and how to pick a microphone, get a gig or write a song.

I have one addendum however, I feel like doing this would be a waste of time if I wasn't completely honest, so no matter whether I'm talking about something personal or sharing a favourite product/service I will be honest.
Also, it seems to me that far too often blogs seem to take themselves terribly seriously (in an effort to be taken seriously, I assume) so, should selfies be required they will undoubtedly be badly lit and I will be smiling, (no serious faces, see above).

That's it, no third thing. Honest and fun. That's my aim.

Post Christmas post

All The Pretty Things... that I got for Christmas.

These are the things I can post photos of. The rest of the lovely things for Christmas are not really things that you can take photos of. I hope that you can all identify with that.

My parents got a puppy from Santa

The remaining presents for family members who couldn't be with us on the day

Wishing all of you love and hope during this time x

Post trip post

Oh dear. Well so much for updating while overseas. Long story short, my iPad went missing for most of my trip which effectively rendered me almost out of contact. So for the sake of brevity here are some snapshots of the highlights of trip.
