About Me |
|
| As i'm always writing about other people, i've never been very good at writing about myself, so here goes!There are two things that have never changed for me.
The first being, I have always loved music. As a child I would listen to my mum's records and dance around the front room. Whether it was James Brown, Abba (Abba were big trust me), Madonna or Michael Jackson- I was feeling it!The second thing being, I have always wanted to write. I used to make my own little newspapers and books and write my own news stories and columns. I loved English in school and went on to study Journalism at University, so it made perfect sense that I would combine the two elements in my life that have continually brought me joy.I love meeting new people but i'm NOT on myspace for romance- unless we are talking about a mutual love of music! I'm about making things happen and (sorry for sounding like a hippy) spreading one love because in this day and age it is sorely missed. I am about supporting good music on a global scale but homegrown talent is especially important to me. I have interviewed some of the brightest music stars from the UK and the US: some famous and some just waiting to blow, including:Pretty Ricky, Asher D, Pharrell, Kidz in the Hall, DaVinche, Blemish Blackstar,Lethal B, Rhymefest, Marvin the Martian, Estelle, Xzibit, Big Cakes, Collie Budz, Amel Larrieux, Shameless, Tinchy Stryder,EPMD, Sway,Nu Brand Flexxx, Mr Midas, A-Tola,Idris Elba, N-Dubz, Bruza, Keith Murray, Musiq Soul Child, The Elementz, More Fire Crew, Mos Def blah, blah, blah!I have a dream list of people I would like to interview, if I ever get there- I will let you know!I currently contribute to various e-zines and publications. I also provide PR assistance to artists, events and projects on an ad-hoc basis.Check out my blog and leave a comment!Thanks for passing by.

However in saying that, here are a few I adore:Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Nas, Maxwell, Amy Winehouse, Mos Def,Phroahe Monch,Rhymefest, Jaheim, Styles P, Lauryn Hill, Jadakiss, Teedra Moses,Bounty Killer, Zero 7, Tupac, Talib Qweli, I Wayne, Ritchie Spice, Sizzla, Hi- Life, Floetry, Jill Scott, Tribe called Quest,Billie Holiday (before I go to bed every night!), Prince, Keane, Outkast (Aquemini- my favourite album), Musiq Soulchild, KRS-1 (Boogie down productions baby), Snoop, Busta Rhymes, Clispe, Kate Bush, Usher, N*E*R*D/NEPTUNES, Dwele, Kanye West,SA-RA, T.I, Blemish Blackstorm, Sway, Common, JME, Durrty Goodz, Roll Deep, Big Cakes,Wretch 32, John Legend, Jay-Z, Estelle,Dubpistols, Dizzee Rascal, Klashnekoff, Poisonous Poets, AZ, Nina Simone, Lupe Fiasco, U2, Bloc Party, Rick James (do you think you love me Mary Jane!), Sam Cooke (darling you send me..), Micheal Jackson / Jackson Five, anything Motown, Soul2Soul, LucyPearl, Eric Benet (A day in the Life was a classic), Toni Braxton, Jill Scott, Earth, Wind & Fire, Kelis, Young Jeezy, Chamilionaire, Lil Wayne,Shirley Bassy (diamonds are 4ever), Fat Joe, Joe, Bruza, More Fire Crew, Heartless Crew, Tupac (again), Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, Omar, Erykah Badu,Amel Larrieux,Akon,Biggie Smalls,Simply Red (back in the day), Terrence Trent Derby, Sade, Chaka Khan, Red Hot Chilli Peppers the list goes on and on and on!

|
Movies:Far too many too mention but I will try to give it a go. Godfather 1 and 2, I liked 3 as well I don't care what the critics said! Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Shawshank, Tsotsi(big film), Ray, The Prestige, The Killer, La Haine,City of God, A fistful of Dollars, Jerry Lewis films, Calamity Jane, Malcolm X, Love and Basketball, Menace2Society,Poetic Justice,Juice,Fresh,Mo Better Blues, The Hurricane,Star Wars 1-3, Batman, Batman Returns and Batman begins, Spiderman, Goodfellas, Blow, Leon, A time to kill, The Italian Job (the original please), Carlitos Way -i'm I the only person who hates how that film ends? The Sound of music -and what I like musicals! Again, the list goes on. |
|
Television:Now this is where it gets serious. Ok, 24 may well be my favourite show of all time. Closely followed by Battlestar Galactica, The Wire, Heroes, The Dave Chappelle Show, Quantom Leap, Star Trek ( it's a toss up between Cpt Picard and Cpt Janeway - yes I know i'm a geek) Prison Break, Lost, Desperate Housewives, Sex in the City, My wife and kids, Third Watch and of course the news: BBC News 24. |
|
Books:Hmmm- wow this is hard! To kill a Mockingbird and Roots are 2 of my greatest books of all time but I also love books by John Grisham, Alice Walker, Michael Moore and The Bronte sisters (romantic at heart!).I like Thomas Hardy books but they're just so bloody depressing (Jude and Tess are my favourite). I love Arthur Miller and Tenessee Williams plays, I also love chick lit especially the Shopoholic set, Bridget Jone's Diary part 1&2, The real Donnie Brasco, Marvel Comics etc... I don't think I could survive without VIBE magazine and Guardian Unlimited online. |
|
Heroes:As corny as this may sound but it has got to be my mum, shes a real souljah sista and a classic Ghanian mother! |
