Van Ness Wu & Kelvin Avon Studio Session

Man... it's 2:45am... just finished 3 days in the studio with Mr Wu, and what a 3 days! I was looking forward to these sessions as I felt I had some really great ideas for Van Ness. We were joined by Him (a great lyricist) and Nick (a piano maestro).

Three day later and three amazing songs later... the creative vibe in the studio was incredible. I am pretty exhausted... late nights in the studio and early mornings getting up with my beautiful daughter!

I know there are loads of Van Ness fans out there so I will stop talking and load a few pics from the 3 days. Stay tuned over the next couple days as I will be loading 1 or 2 videos from the sessions as well. Again thanks to Jon@ThisMusicStudio for great hospitality and vibes!!

Yes.. Music really does Matter!!



Just a quick note to say thanks to everyone at AnD for sorting out the artist pass's for the Music Matter's conference at the Grand Hyatt on  3-4 June. For those of you that didn't jump at this opportunity, you really missed out. Make sure you go next year!!!

I walked away from the conference with 2 great jobs, a new knowledge bank, and new music contacts from Japan, Korea, Sweden, USA, UK, and of course HK.

Highlights for me were the interview with MC Jin on the first day and Jamie Cullum on the second day. Both talented, creative and passionate artists who showed us all why we love music, it's not just the music, but the story behind the music and artist and how we connect with it.

I didn't even manage to get my camera out as I was busy networking and going to seminars so sorry no photos!! 

Big up Patrick Lee who was on the panel for one of the most interesting panels of the conference on Social Network Sites.... Hey buddy, you didn't look nervous at all.
