ROOTS 2007

I am driven by my ambition.

 In 2005, I was the first artist to release a Hip-Hop album in my country.

I am human so, it's not enough unless I decide it is.

Back home where I come from, I have achieved celebrity status. It's not enough.

Come 2007-I decided to get on the plane and move to the U.K. where I've been the last 10 months or so.

The weather is unpredictable and thats not all bad.

From November 2006-May 2007, I have spent time in the studio. I started out recording at my girlfriends brothers place. Making music at night and making friends online during the early hours of the morning light.

Later on, I decided to put together my own home studio. I got myself a PC for Christmas and I had Cubase Sx3 that I had been using on my PC at home in Zambia, Africa. With a lot of other bits of software that I had, I put together a studio in my little room. It wasn't spacious. It was frustrating to live in but perfect for the Studio Accoustics.

Living in a place where the flats are attached, for the first time in my life, I am recording music during the day. The room is quite sealed with all the furniture so, I don't get to see the sun rise or set. It's quite good because, I feel as though it's my usual night-time session. My next door neighbour Dave aka Sgt. Pepper is quiet but only to tell me later that he quite enjoyed hearing me record my music.

I have now finished recording my album. I am very optimistic despite being in a different market with much more competition but this is now my drive. I fear not, I am daring and competitive.

With websites such as Mi7, MYSPACE, HI5, FACEBOOK, BEBO, YOUTUBE, I see this as an opportunity to get my name out.

PART 2 COMING SOON.
