God save our Queen

Of course I watched the royal wedding, and could not help my feelings of nostalgia towards the country that birthed me.
I love that we still have a monarchy, it a tradition that's makes England unique, and when it comes to a royal wedding tradition is defiantly the prominent word that comes to mind.
Some of those in fact have not changed since our monarchy began. The beautiful costumes and gold carriages are enough to make anyone feel like they are in living fairytale, and everything oh so precise, down to the second, perfection!
I awoke at 3.30am, having not slept much the night before in anticipation on seeing the magic, rubbed my eyes and headed into the kitchen to 'put the kettle on'. Using my best antique windsor china I sat in front of my TV still in my silk PJ's and poured myself a cup of English Breakfast tea, then another, and another as I watched for the next 3 hours almost without blinking, but defiantly fidgeting this historical event take place.
The onlooking crowds, seemed so well behaved and happy, maybe also because the day had been made national holiday, that's reason enough to be happy in itself!
Congratulations to the happy couple and long live the Queen!

The Music Years...Final part.

Part four.
So to conclude on my own musical analogy and journey, I am now in the present. I've come to the realization, that there are no rules. I need not conform to one genre, one style, or 'pop' music trends. If you are not true to yourself with your music, or your fashion, in any way that is an expression of you for that matter, it will show thru in your art. People will see thru your uncomfortable, unsureness and take you for a fraud.
At the end of the day I write my music from a certain feeling or emotion I'm getting at the time. It's my own release, and I just have to hope my fans love it too.
With that being said, my upcoming EP 'Let Them Eat Cake' is a reflection of that. I experimented a lot, it has been fun, and I loved the results. Every track is a different little piece of me!

The Music Years....Part three.

Part three.
Some years later when I was about 17, I moved to Ibiza. The thumping drums and sounds of John Digweed and Paul Van Dyke's 'For an Angel' coming from the speakers, were enough to make anyone wanna take 'E' . I had a crazy few years on that dance scene, altho there was no hip hop in Ibiza, that never stopped me searching, or harassing the DJ's for Snoop or Dre.
Always in the centre of every event, I leave my Covent Garden, London apartment some years later to head to a Brit Awards after party, and made what would become a very dear friend, He was the late Proof, and as soon as I felt cool enough with him I confided in him about my secret rap aspirations. Expecting to hear a chuckle, he actually took dream seriously, and encouraged me to go for it. A little fire sparked inside me and a voice in my head said "you can do it!".
We went on to spend the rest of the evening writing raps, and coming up with the name Misfit. He explained and broke down different techniques, rhymes pattens and all I needed to know to get started. I owe him a lot.
I studied every rapper, old and new, and with a CD Walkman, pad, and a pen always firmly stuck to my hand, I began writing profusely.

The Music Years....Part two.

Part two.
My second phase came shortly after, and I have to say both genres altho completely different on first reaction, I think are actually very similar in many ways...
My brother was playing NWA and Ice T and his stereo always managed to drown out my music device
So eventually I accepted defeat and made the transition, altho it wasn't that hard because I was excited by the shock value of Eazy E's rhymes.
Both phases had excelled in controversy, while The Cure Sang "Rape me like a child christened in blood" Eazy E rapped "Fuck the police".
So true my compassionate personality, soon enough I knew more about Hip Hop than my brother, or anyone else did. I knew the words to the whole NWA album and would rap them for anyone that would listen.
That's when my desire to become a rapper arose, I was a young teen still living in the English countryside, a million miles away from Compton. This is a far fetch dream, I will keep this one to myself, I decided.
