I have handmade these singles for you
Each a piece of art
I shall write your name and a word or two
When you pop it in your cart
There are only a few so those who want two
Shall have to return to the line
Each one is different
Unique and new
and all individually signed. x

The build
How does an artist get to where they would like to be? I do not have the answers but I believe in creativity, attention to detail, quality, risk taking and above all hard work that is enjoyed as much as possible. These are my tools with the support I have around me to get to where I would like to be.
Today, I and Agent Ani spent the day folding pieces of brown paper into cd covers ready to be sewn with my sewing machine tomorrow. These cd covers will be glittered, pretty papered, stamped and wax sealed and sent to my radio plugger on friday ready to be sent out to radio stations next week. The single we are pushing is from the album and it's called Late at Night. It will be coming out with the video and remixes on friday the 13th of May which is also the launch of my new record label - All Made UP Records and my Publishing company - All Made Up Music. Also, as I told you before the 6 degrees of separation begin that day too. Very exciting.
To do all of those things, though, we have Sooooooooo much work to do. 200 handmade cd covers need to be ready, I am designing a stamp for the handmades, postcards need to be printed, flyers ready, remixes ready, image designed for the single and everything distributed and uploaded!! These are just a few of the huge list and there are 3 of us working through the list. Arrrrghhh!
I'm tired but I am working day and night to get this ready and out there.
There's a very beautiful version of the single coming - arranged by Jasper Wilkinson - its so lovely I hope you like it.

Ps the secret gig was stunning! We are going to begin the London one so stay near xx shhhhhhhhhhhhh xxxx

news
Hello all lovely crazy people. And we are all crazy. There is no question there. Have a look around you. Look at the people you (think you) know. They are nuts too. No question. Everyone's just pretending to be normal. Trying to hold it all together and not let people see the madness bubbling away underneath. Total madness. Surrounded by it.
Anyhoo, I though you might like a sane blog from me. (this is as sane as I get). I, am an artist, so, although I am completely mad and manically crazy I have a license to be on the street - the artists card. Woop woop. Thank the universe for creativity or i'd have been locked up a while back.
Now, I thought you might like to see what's going on. Step into my days and be a bit of a voyeur on my life.
As you know, I was signed to Decca last year. I begged them to help me get out the back door and they gladly supported. It wasn't for either of us. All good, and some day young reader-son, I shall tell you all. The madness of a Major label will be here one day but for now too much hard work and spit and polish to get through.
I am starting again. Leaving Decca without a manager doing the work to get you out isn't easy but I got out scratch free thanks to my amazingly supportive and incredibly talented lawyer and team. I've sprung clean, had the counseling, drunk myself into a stupor, considered becoming an astronaut and I'm ready. I've got a strong team around me who are incredible at what they do and help to guide my madness in successful directions.
We've started All Made Up Records and All Made Up Music Publishing. A logo is on its way, the paths have been laid and we are going to release 3 singles this year. Very exciting. I am about to make a new video for one of the singles and artwork is happening. I'm sticking papers to words, words to thoughts, thoughts to ideas, ideas to dreams and sewing the lot up with a 1950's housewife's sewing machine heavier than the titanic.
I'm holding a very secret gig on the 2nd of April for 30 people only in a secret location with a secret chef and secret new songs and I'll be wearing a secret newly designed secret outfit and you can come if you can keep a secret. Tickets are available at www.dejavoodu.co.uk but its all hush hush. Shhhhhhhhhh! x
