Can u make my DESTINY a winner?

So...

Here it is...

I promised I would let you know when I need to call upon your love and support and votes

Your votes have already helped me bag 7, yes, that's right, seven music awards so I have faith that your collection of love and 'clicks' will again work its magic.

The 7 :) Thx to YOU

I've submitted my remix of 'Destiny' (Boogaloo's Remix) in Zero 7's remix competition and need you to vote and even comment should you so choose.

Incidentally, I am currently at no. 5 on the 'chart' so pls keep voting. The competition ends at the end of September.

Do listen to the other entries. You'll find that all have basically taken the provided original Zero 7 samples and built beats and a vibe around it. I reckon mine still keeps the main vein of the song representing it in a different light and injecting what's me into it.

The only original parts I used was Sia's vocal track. All instruments played and programmed by me. All the other vocals are mine too.

Instead of being just a remix, I've turned it into a duet - that's how I made my dream come true... I got to 'sing' with and do backing vocals for Sia ;)

Just click here to vote. And you can spread your lovin' by spreading the news - just hit the share buttons below

What's YOUR Destiny ? Here's mine


So.... I've been working on an album of covers for awhile now. Slotting in the time to work on it whenever I'm free (which is time that is few and far between). I'm doing everything on this for now... arranging, programming, playing all the instruments, recording all the vocals etc and doing it all, including mixing, at my very own Boogalooboo Studio

It's an interesting journey and I savour the time I get to invest in this. It's a project that is very close to me as the journey has seen me learn many new things about music writing and music production.

Most importantly it's made me feel even closer to the songs that already mean so much to me and in a strange way I now feel a bit of an intimacy with each of the singers & songwriters that I never felt before.

Although I have posted up a sampler of one of the covers on my Myspace page during Chinese New Year, I have decided to preview an entire song to you. I hope that you love it as much as I do and that you will support the song and me when the time is right.... (don't worry, I will let you know when that time comes)
I have always dreamed of meeting Sia, and to sing with her is pure fantasy. I got to live this fantasy for 5 minutes.

Perhaps I should call it "(My) Destiny"

If I can be sure of one thing in my life, that is, I am meant to make music

Enjoy x
