Doing it For M.E?

Hey, seeing as it's been awhile and I promised not to write unless I had some positive  news to share with you....            Ta da! 🤪  As some of you will know it's been a pretty awful time as far as trying to get a track recorded 🤣 And In the run up to Mays M.E awareness month, I've been trying to get it done to release as a free download before International M.E day on 12th May. While i'm starting to produce my own Music I'm still at the early stages and certainly not the skillz to mix and master,...

and then my good ol mum just happened to say "Why don't you contact Shane?" Those who've followed from the off will know the Uber talented Shane Shanahan as the producer of my album "Nobody wants to know ya when ya nobody", EP "Runnin On Empty" and subsequent singles in-between.

As it's been a decade (How the hell has it been that long? 😲 ) I wasn't sure he'd even remember me let alone be able to come to the rescue at such short notice as he's a pretty busy chap these days. I emailed with the project, and turns out he did remember me AND he is going to help make it happen, so i'm dead excited that finally things are on track, It's what happens when you work with professionals and I could have saved myself alot of energy and heartache if I'd gone this route in the first place, ain't hindsight a wonderful thing? But at least now I feel I'm back where I belong, On a down note my health has been pretty appalling, mainly with the pain, again as some of you who follow will know, including the reasoning, I take no medication apart from paracetamol, relying mainly on yogic methods such as breathing techniques and meditation so it's been extremely tough and I'm just praying I can make it to the studio & have enough breath to spit the lines when I'm there.

I will keep ya posted, but just know the track "The M.E Scandal" is on it's way. The original comeback single "Book" will still be recorded at a later date & still be the official comeback single but I've had to push it back as raising M.E awareness is so important to me. Thanks heaps for the love and support, the likes, the shares, the comments, nothing is taken for granted, I've always felt hugely blessed to have you on board sharing this journey, so Love Ya, Stay Blessed 🙏 💜 😎 xxx

End Of The Road

       Hi, well this is an update and an au revoir all at the same time. There will be a track release for you to hear on Monday 3rd August "Jus Human" although don't listen to it if you don't like swears  & an E.P release exclusively via digital download  on Bandcamp for £3.99 on the 23rd August which will also include the clean radio edits and then the journey will come to an end.                                  Many years ago when I first became ill with M.E there were those in the medical profession from doctors to councillors who said that I needed to give up trying for a music career because  firstly  I would be too sick to fulfill the criteria needed to be a music artist and secondly the stress of that life style would only worsen my condition.  Now from the moment  I slid  into the world and was able to use my lungs I sung and never shut up, just as soon as I could hold a pen I wrote songs worked hard and never lost the  hunger and passion to su

Runnin On Empty...Again?

Hi  For those following my journey so far, you might already know the story? In which case feel free to depart and head back over to Facebook.... for those who don't?  This is what's been happening since the last Album back in 2011 & the reasonings for my musical absence and the decision to release 2015's E.P  Runnin On Empty properly......Sitting comfortably?  So the first album "Nobody Wants To Know Ya When Ya Nobody" took 5 yrs to make due to a combination of poor health including Myalgic Encephalomylitis, Fibromyalgia and Osteoporosis & also finance, but with some motherly support and selling my rap/hiphop vinyl collection  it was finally released mid 2011 & I spent the rest of the year promoting it.  I was still constantly writing and already had enough material for another album and so the recording process continued in 2012 and I hoped this time with the learning curve of  the first album I could manage my health better & speed thin

All Change/No Change

So I’ve been putting this update blog off because when you have M.E its like trying to think through a wall of fog most of tha time. But I cant put it off indefinitely, So, first up is change, there’s been major changes since last year so I best explain. It's been over six months since Tha Studio I’ve  recorded all my trax in so far,  moved, so it’s no    longer local, not for me anyhow, if I didn’t have M.E  maybe I would’ve hopped on a train, who knows?  but I cant.                         This has also meant that trax are having to be mixed remotely and there’s been a number of delays and things coming to a halt. It’s a much harder and clinical way of working amongst other things which is why I’ve never been a fan and probably never will be.  Due to tha new circumstances, tha plan of dropping tha album in July isn’t  going to happen now either, it’s a real shame but not tha end of tha world.  Everything is sent to try us and  while I cant deny there’s b
