Multi Award Winning Female Saxophonist, Birmingham, UK, Jazz, Gospel, Reggae, Blues, Soul and Originals. 'Music for the soul'
Here is the last clip I am going to share from the 2024 Caribbean Takeover files I found while browsing my folders the other day. In this one, I get off the stage to share the 70’s disco hit ‘Dancing Queen’ by ABBA with the audience.
After more than 300 years of colonial rule, Jamaica gained its independence on 6 August 1962. To commemorate this important date, tomorrow, Sunday 9 August, the Association of Jamaican Nationals of Birmingham UK will offer a service of praise and thanksgiving at the New Testament Church of God Handsworth. I will have the honour of providing the music for the occasion, and I would love it if many of you could attend.
Listen to my sax cover of the hit song ‘I Will Always Love You’ in the ballad version by Whitney Houston.
It’s always a pleasure to play songs by the legendary Michael Jackson. For a wedding that took place last month, I included this cover of his 1979 hit ‘Rock With You’. Here is a clip.
1121 is a bit of an odd number to celebrate as a milestone. However, it represents a little difficulty that has brought me a lot of joy. Every time I try to catch the moment I reach a more usual number to highlight, like 1100 or 1111, the count grows before I can take the screenshot!
Some of you may remember that I took part of a Music Production For Women course. You can read about it in previous posts from my blog. Now that I am an alumna, I want to share some more of my impressions, and thank the people behind this wonderful experience.
Let’s wrap up the individual interviews section of my podcast Success Beyond The Score S2 with the one and only Ruby Turner.
One of my dreams in music has always been to produce my own tracks. Whilst I am very thankful to the people who has supported me in that regard, for projects like my album Reflective Notes or my single Take Me To The King, I always wanted to do it myself. Last year, I finally took the critical step. For the last 15 months, I have been on a music production course for women ran by Xylo Aria. It has been brilliant!
Today, I want to take you back to two podcast interviews I had with brilliant women in music: Louise Dengate and Abigail Kelly.
