I’ll be real this week was a tough one, tested me from every angle, from high volume and high value work being out & about to onboarding new people during the days, then closing the week out with three services/events, 50 songs to learn for them in total, three different bands, followed by a mad dash to East with no Lizzy line to rely on
Just a small clip from the home stretch of the week, I’ll be real we had some fun this morning, just a tad. Take me back mannnn, wanna spin the block on this song for sure (with about 8-10 hours more sleep between) 😅

The beauty of call & response
This is still one of my favourite songs. Deep the lyrics, looking forward to tonight though, the one and only @candicemimi and I will be at it again tonight... If you're looking for somewhere to be tonight, it's quite easy:
Gateway House
John Wilson Street
London

February was quite the month, it was really confirmation that the pivot that closed out my year and brought me home was what I needed to kick off this year as well as I have.
Was great to share the stage & close out the night w/@nicolagaea at @soulmamalondon for @globalsoulradio showcase
This week now, marked a big week with @symphonycoofficial as @choir.rehearsal launched the South chapter, got a new project loading AND the fifth year of Symphony Schools started over the weekend, big tings ah gwaan this year
Then got to close out the month seeing two artists who have seriously soundtracked some critical moments in my life the last couple years, first time seeing them & I'm confident it won't be the last
Now, here's to day 60 & whatever the rest of the year has to offer 🥂
Lets get it!

Sorry though, clock app saw it first 🤭

*HAVE A READ*
This one's a bit different for me, it's been a while since I've got back. Not had a chance to update EVERYBODY on what it's like, what's going on, what it's like being back.
Cruise work looks like paradise from the outside. When you're in it, it's a bubble (not even a comfy one, the bed was anything but). Whenever you emerge, give yourself time and grace to reset and refresh, you are a human being and it's ok to be a human resting sometimes. Free time matters.

YOU HAVE ONE JOB *run the tune*
Not often I get to just lock in with minimal distractions but on this cruise, I most certainly had the opportunity to and met some great people along the way
Chapter 1 is done for now, but so much more to be written in this book. The Caribbean will definitely see me again soon.

This season might be done, but the groove never stops. Cool lil solo in the outro for THAT TUNE. A pleasure to put this together for our two sets for the first pool deck party otw to the Caribbean.
