Last autumn @alfrerbeats asked me if I‘d be down to make music together. Honestly, I didn’t feel 100% certain that I could bring much to the table.. I was in a deep phase of self doubt and comparing myself immensely to other artists who I felt, were much further and I could never reach my full potential. Now I understand better where that comes from (ADHD). Anyway, he suggested to get @beatmensch5000 on board and we made a song that was fostered by what I consider most important these days: INTUITION! So grateful for your trust, guys! Here’s a little inside of the process and some quotes that help me to remember why I’m doing it and how important it is to stick it out and trust yourself. Song out next week, FRIDAY 5th of April ♥️Artwork by @juliegraphie.de 🚀

I’m doing lara_vocalcoach’s 14 day singing challenge from Monday, April 1st, and the idea of sharing that mess is scary, so naturally, I’m going to do it. This is 1) a heads up that you’re gonna see me doing some messy singing exercises on here, and 2) an invitation, would anyone like to join me? Consider this the next #shareyourshittyart challenge. . . . ID: 3 SLIDES READING “Well, you’ve seen my handstands. I’m pretty comfortable sharing how messy they are because there’s no reason I expect to be good at them. What I don’t share is that I sing. All the time. After years of learning in institutions where I was being critiqued (mostly by my own perfectionism), pushing & extending my abilities so quickly I couldn’t integrate it all - I stopped singing. Until I started again, about a year ago. But only in the safety of my own company. I’ve cordoned this practise, this joy; to the car, to pottering around the house - an anonymous voice in the neighbourhood. To my composing where I can control it, to my teaching where I’m excited to explore other people’s voices using mine as a tool. And only just sometimes in public, when I’m really happy; I can’t stop melodies tumbling from my mouth. I routinely transcribe my friends’ songs & think about everything I learnt at WAAPA, every single day, integrating my practical knowledge of the voice with more & more nuance and depth. I’m finally working ~with~ my brain & understand my voice in a way I never expected I could, & I’m really excited about it. Lately, I’ve been revolutionising the way I embody learning & there’s an aspect of ‘trial+error in community’ (and strength in my chest dominant mix) that I’m missing…” FINAL 2 SLIDES are videos of two vastly different handstand attempts. The first is Naomi, a dark-haired, olive-skinned gal, wearing a blue top, black shorts & heavy Doc Martin boots that make it hard to balance, attempting a pretty ok handstand on a sunny balcony yesterday. The last slide, shows Naomi almost 2 years prior, falling out of a really shitty, passive, back-bendy handstand onto the floor & launching again with absolutely no muscle engagement & a non-existent understanding of body line.
