Performance for Cartier

1 Apr

A few weeks ago I had a lovely Jazz gig for Cartier, as the official sponsor of Art Dubai they hosted an intimate dinner. It was a beautiful event. Here are a few pictures from the performance, featuring Stoyan Stoyanov on piano and accordion.

Special thanks to The Fridge and Cartier :)

JAMS music festival, Queens New York

5 Aug

 

 

Performed a live P.A yesterday at JAMS Summer music festival in Queens, New York.

Sun was shining, weather was sweet, vibes were good!

 

Misty

3 Jul

One of the most beautiful Jazz standards, sung by one of my top 5 Jazz singers of all time- the wonderful Sarah Vaughan.

She says sweetly that she doesn’t feel too good as she has a cold… I can’t hear it, can you?! ;)

Sweet inspiration! :-)

We had a great chat about the upcoming E.P and the single UNITE, and I performed a few acoustic versions of 2 songs from the E.P- ‘So Long’ and ‘Unite’.

 

Thank-you to Dubai eye and The Fridge for their support!

Good vibes :-)

 

 

 

 

Trying to catch my breath from the Illusion…

25 May

Enjoy…… this beautiful song, and the beautiful voice of Gregory Porter

 

ILLUSION

 

I’ve been searchin all the corners of my room

sweeping dust and memories under the carpet that we purchased

somewhere on some cool retreat, somewhere in Africa somewhere

I’ve been trying to catch my breath from the illusion

that i lost it when you left me

I’ve been checking for the weather and the time

I’m like a bag that’s dropped and drifting in the wind

that blows from hurricanes that comes just after grey clouds fill my eyes

I’ve been trying to find my footing on the slopes of the illusion that i lost it

when you left me like bare feet on hot concrete, we have come to some division

based on pain from bare decisions just like clothes pins snapped by wild winds

sometimes you can’t hold on to love and never die

I’ve been planting all the flowers that you like with the hope them will take root

and smell the blossom when the wind blows as we sit deep in the garden

sipping tea as i watch you looking at me

I’ve been trying to find reality a grip on the illusion

that i lost you when you left me

Super Max Awards

6 May

A few weeks ago The Fridge booked me to perform for the Supermax Awards in Ras Al Khaima. A nice easy going Jazz performance for the awards show, along with fantastic pianist Stoyan Stoyanov.

Here is a tiny clip from our show, and a few photos :)

Jazz On A Summer’s Day

2 May

Jazz on a Summer’s Day is a must-see documentary for all Jazz music lovers!

Captured in 1958 by famous fashion photographer ‘Bert Stern’, the movie captures some of the biggest legends of Jazz, including Theolonius Monk, Mahalia Jackson, Anita O’Day, Louis Armstrong; and it’s one of the rare colour film copies you will see of these legends live!

Mahalia Jackson is just simply….. wow. wow. wow. wow. wow…. phenomenal!

 

 

Anak Dalita/ Pakiusap

29 Apr

I just came across this on Youtube…

Fills me with a nostalgia for a Philippines that I’ve never known.. maybe memory cells in my blood remember it somehow ;)

What timbre in his voice!

Beautiful <3

Had the pleasure to perform for the launch of the new Alfie’s restaurant and store earlier this week!

Alfie’s is the brainchild of Alfred Dunhill, and is the 3rd of its kind in the world after branches in Singapore and Hong Kong.

Here are some shots taken from the night—>

BIG thanks to The Fridge, Brian Haw Cocoato for the fab photography, and Daze Tan for the gorgeous dress! ;-)
