UPDATE ****

Hey guys! I have recently been like this ^^^^^^^^ BUSY!!!


Which is great for me, the busier the better! I have been in the studio with Deuce & Charger working on my FIRST DEBUT ELLENYI track due out in 2012! YEP - not "featuring Ellenyi" just ELLENYI!!!! Very excited about that of course, had some really positive response to the track so a massive thankyou and especially to all my POLISH FANS ! (Dziękuję za Wasze nieustające wsparcie, dużo miłości xx)


Please find a link below to their blog here so you can read all about it! http://deuceboxxx.blogspot.com/2011/12/deuce-charger-in-studio-with-ellenyi.html?spref=fb






ALSO recently I had a shoot with Broken Dolls - an amazing female photographer who really captured some raw and edgy images!
Her website is: http://brokendollsphotography.weebly.com/index.html I am SO excited to put the pics up when they are ready and it has been the best early Christmas present EVER!! Santa will have to work harder than ever to top that!! Working with Broken Dolls I really felt that I could get completely comfortable with poses and not have to worry about doing the right or wrong move. My make up and hair was done for me and the results were wild and like nothing I could ever try and do myself - BUT thats what a photo shoot is all about! Its about dressing up and looking the best you can EVER look so that everyone is wowed by the results - and that was exactly right with this shoot! It was a pleasure to be shot by Broken Dolls and I will definitely definitely promise to show you the images once I have them back!! :)

I love the way..........

That you finish my sentence before I manage to get my words out...
That you ask me to talk when we are laid side by side, just so that you can fall asleep to my voice......
That you know all my secrets but keep them hidden and tucked in with yours....
That you are so big and strong but lay your head on my lap so vulnerably....
That you are quick to teach but quicker to learn....
That you never make me feel like there is anything else I need or want....
That you listen to my thoughts and lift my head to the sky when it only wants to look down....
That you are the most delightful and most precious person I have ever come across...

 That you love me as much as I love you. x

If I told you a fairy tale would you expect a happy ending? Perhaps the Frog never becomes a Prince, perhaps the Princess was led to believe that the Frog was the one worth kissing. Perhaps the Frog needed to teach the Princess valuable life lessons so that she could get away from the swamp and build a stronger castle......

             Do not wait for Prince Charming because he is too lazy to leave his castle.....
                             Wait for your Knight in shining armour - because he will fight for you.


With love to my Knight.... :)



Having a few days to write and re group, in the studio on Thursday can't wait!! Til then peace out

2 mins of my time went into a lifetime of yours

"The last time was not forever"

I sit and wonder if you mean the words that roll delicately from your tongue. I hear the broken promises and the precious changes that will never spring to life. 

These words should sting your heart and imprint there for a while

A faithful hand returns to give no matter how its fingers are singed. Like a dog to the blind, it can always be trusted, and as your memory remembers the way in the dark, you will always find your way back to this. Silently wishing that the last time will in fact be forever, but addiction takes over. In the depth of the soul is a small whispering voice. If you listen to it then it shall become louder and burst into song like a spring lamb just born. Or you could pretend it was the howling of the wind and close the window to shut it out.

 "If you left forever then why are you back like a large print offending my eyes."

 "Because you left the door ajar, in the hopes that I might send you a postcard."

Just something I wrote whilst trying to piece my mind together again.

Ellenyi 

It's easier to go down a hill than up, But the best view is always from the top.

If you want something bad enough, then you will work hard enough to get there. Lately it is apparent that those around me just do not want things as much as I do! Having to work full time as well as full time musically is really stretching – even when you have a good work ethic. It is sad that people who are comfortable and do not need to come in to work then they do just that, they ring in sick or worse still get someone else to. It is about giving yourself enough energy to motivate yourself that is the hardest part, not the actual work you come in to get on with.

Having a passion for something is the most revitalising, interesting uphill struggle I have ever encountered. Working a normal 9-5 and then 6-11 in the studio really does stretch my brain and energy levels but I try and see it as “in training” for what is to come! I believe you can only do what you think you can do. If you think you can’t do something then you are probably right.  Look around, everyday ordinary people are example to this. Those that succeed are those that think they can in the first place and push themselves out on the ledge.

Just grabbed two minutes whilst the studio tech is mixing down the final track of the night and then I am off to the sweet land of deep dreams! Some people have children, others a house that they clean 12 hours a day, some have dream cars they can’t afford and others a career that means everything to them. Music is my baby, its my passion, it the reason why I wake up singing new melodies and why I dream about timings and lyrics in my sleep. So I say, shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. 

Sweet Dreams

Roots...

Roots, they are there to remind us where we came from. To remind us of how much we have grown. To remind us of how small and insignificant we started out as. To remind us of what we should be true to. Roots are dusty, bitten into, straggly, chaotic, horrible things that are the life line to the beautiful oak that stands tall reaching the clouds above.

I used to always write like this. I recently read all my old poetry, notes, journals, songs. Just to refresh myself of how much I have grown, where I have come from, to remind me what I should be true to. They are my roots.

It is in my roots and my upbringing that you should always strive to be you and if that means that you are the multi coloured jacket hanging on the rail like in the picture above... well that is ok!! Who says you should be like the rest of the boring standard suit jackets that people put on every day without a second thought. If you are who you are then who are they to judge.

If you think I am fake, it is because your perception of real is misguided. If you think I am two faced it is because you do not understand both sides of my personality. If you think I distanced myself from you for no reason, it is because you failed to be there for me when you said you would be. If you think I am pathetic it is because you are too wrapped up in your own world to realize that I am simply protecting mine. If you believe I am small minded you have simply not taken enough time to get to know how my mind thinks, works and reacts.

After all is said and done, you have helped me remember my roots, what I was put here for. To write, to be REAL. You reminded me that it does not matter whose opinions people hear and what the Chinese whispers say. In the words of Jessie J.... "whose laughing now"


I am blessed beyond words to be working with Soulshaker and really excited about the pending release due in the next few months. That is what is real to me. That is what I get up in a morning for. The intense unshakable feeling of success.

GIRLS LOVE BASS!!! FACT

Been hooked on BASS for the last few days. In and out of the studio working on some drum and bass tracks. Its something different, its something fresh. The studio tech that I have been working with in the last few days is fab!! He has so much passion and a great fresh vibe and it has really put some new life in my boots. The tracks are for a project due to be signed in America and although there are big things involved, it has been great to experience the small time excitement whilst recording the vocals! I have been singing these non stop for the last few days - really cannot get out of my head! It is so annoying to have such a catchy tune in your head and nobody else can listen cos its not yet released and you can’t tell anyone about it either!! BUT all will be revealed shortly and that feeling will be done with ha!

LOVING all the cream fields and festival related status’s on face book recently! Everyone is having withdrawal symptoms and now that the summer seems to be over its time to remember the amazing beats and bass to come out of Ibiza and Festivals in 2011!!

HOW GOOD is David Guetta’s album Nothing but the Beat….. Just sayin.
I know I know I know I probably should have bought it earlier before now…. But I have heard mixed things about it so not had chance to purchase! UNTIL NOW and I just cannot believe what I have been missing… shame on me ha!! It is a must buy if you have not already bought it.

Not loving the rain…

Brazen Feat. Ellenyi - Jolene (Fonzerelli Epic Western Remix)

Found this today whilst I was scouring Youtube!! I love this remix by Fonzerelli.... Its like one minute your in a John Wayne movie and the next minute you look down at yourself and realize you have your heels on and your busting some serious moves on the dancefloor... !! PURE FAB!!

Had a really interesting meeting today with a couple of passionate producers. Its a potential future opportunity so I am excited about how things could work. It is refreshing to see passion in motion and exciting to be able to be part of it!

HOW BUSY is the new Krispy Kreme in Birstall!! WoW!! I must say it is worth the wait and the que to have those deliciously sugary sweet tasties melting on your tongue!! They are definitely my vice and the way to my heart! ALSO loving the X factor... there is some amazing talent on there... TULISA is hot hot hot and I love Kelly Rowland's sayings, they are going on my fridge for when I need a gentle reminder!! Gary Barlow is some serious Man Kandi and good ole Louis completes!! It really is making it tough for me to go out on a Sat night!

Got a busy week in and out of the studio but as always looking forward to living and breathing music!

Sunrise Festival 2011 (MOONLIGHT PARTY BY TOXIC NOIZ) friday

LOOK AT THIS!!!

Big thanks to Toxic Noiz and all my Polish fans!! Fonzerelli's Moonlight Party feat Ellenyi was played at the Sunrise Festival 2011!! Moonlight Party has had massive support from Andy Durrant- Capital FM, Judge Jules - Radio 1 and Tiesto- Worldwide. This has spiralled and continues to make headlines internationally. Thank you to my great friend Stu Ritchie who has believed in myself and this track from the beginning and has endlessly put up with me getting excited again and again about its success.


Writing again.... yes I do lots of that funnily enough being a singer-songwriter! Writing is freedom, a chance to pen your opinion and air your thoughts. I think my love of writing comes from my mother, she kept yearly journals from my childhood and later embarrassed me with the contents! There are times when I want to write pages and times when I can only write a sentence. I suffer from writer's block and from not knowing when to stop at the same time. Words seem to fascinate me, and finding new ones is even more interesting. I like the way they form feelings and represent emotions and events. My younger brother has written poetry for as long as I can remember and I love trying to second guess his true meaning behind the words within the rhythm .

I have some amazing things that I am on the tip of announcing and I really want to unzip my mouth but unfortunately it will have to stay tight for a little while longer!!

I can't believe it is September....that means Christmas is on its way!! I am not ready for that yet, I am still in summer festival mode and don't want to put my denim shorts and wellies away.... please stay warm a bit longer Mr. Weather Mann.



Had a fab birthday hot tub party with some nearest and dearest - celebrated in style! August bank holiday was messy, packed and memorable which is just the way I like it. After having a few days off it is back to the studio and meetings as standard.... shame you can't come :P

Ellenyi celebrates going European (twice now) (she thinks)

It's no secret that Ellenyi is not exactly sure where certain countries are. Ask those who know her well and they will roll their eyes and get a map out so it can all be explained.

So when Ellenyi got signed in several European countries, we caught up with her to explain where they were exactly....

These things always happen when your not looking... I've been writing for several different projects for about two months now and finally all the hard work had paid off and I'm seeing some great results!

I have recently been signed to "Bikini Records" a German based label with tracks due to be released end of this year. The track is one of a few I have been working on with Tony Divino... It's been a pleasure working with such a passionate DJ and producer.

Also signed is another track to Influential House Recordings an Essex based label... Another floor filler and due to be released next year.

With interest and future potential signings from France and London I think I am definitely going to get myself a map!! I can say "yes" in 7 different languages so I so getting there slowly !!

It's such an honour to work with a wide range of talented and passionate individuals. The future is busy but bright and when people ask me how it feels to have my voice being played internationally it's a very strange one to try and explain!!

All I can say is I would not be in this magical position if it wasn't for every single DJ, producer, studio tech, song writer, creative director and fan did not take the time to play one of my tracks!! THANKYOU :)

Radio Silence

Not been very well so took some time off to breathe and focus on getting back to normal - as normal as can be!

Just feel so blessed at the moment, work has been in-between releasing and awaiting new tracks. This has given me a chance to gain some new inspiration and just generally enjoy without stress the work already completed! Really happy with the final mixes that have come back from Paris from Addict DJs as well as mixes from Tony Divino! Looking forward to performing them live in August bank hol details to follow.

FINALLY figured out how to blog from my IPhone so now there is no excuse! When I am busy and working I find no time to get on a computer and the rare time I get to chill out I am nowhere near a PC if I can help it !! So normal blogging will be back on the road :)

Just wanna clarify I am NOT the female vocals on the new KFC advert but I am very flattered that people think it's me as last I heard it was Paloma Faith lol so lovely comparison there xx

Working hard on some new tracks shortly which as always I am excited about, let's face it when am I not excited! I just love pouring my heart into words and melodies and hearing the finished product blasting out of speakers it's fab and an amazing thing to do for a living !

Loving the sunshine and the warmth, the maxi dresses of summer, highlights in your hair, watchin rugby with no coat on for a change and boxes and boxes of strawberries yum !!

Not loving tan lines, lazy people who let their mums do everything for them, chipped nail varnish and cold coffee cos you left it too long without drinking it up!!

That's all :)

Catch up...... Had my head down for the last week or so..... mostly thinking, writing, taking things in and learning.

The biggest thing I have learnt is that family is wherever you look. Two new babies to welcome to my other half's family last weekend, both beautiful bouncy boys, I am looking forward to cuddles on Good Friday! Had my niece and nephew over as well and just to see their gorgeous little faces lighting up in the sunshine over some ice cream was the best feeling. Also had my friend's little boy over in his "gruffallo" dressing gown.... makes u melt trust me!! SO, life has been full of children recently and a lot of smiles, fun and cuddles.

There is nothing better than a little happy face looking up at you to remind you that life is worth living, even if its just for these little people. Children have no worries, they are not stressed out about bills, or wondering how they are going to get to work, they just simply "be" !

I love how they live life without a second thought whilst teaching the grown ups a thing or two.

I really needed the break, even if just to chill and reflect and it really has done me so much good. My family are the ones closest to my side, they are the ones who bother traveling for 30mins just to give me a happy face, they are the ones who scoff hot cross buns with me and they are the ones who crawl in my bed after a night out whilst my other half dribbles on the sofa!!!

More recording tonight, looking forward to sending some idea's over to Ireland and hearing from Paris too!! Time out done with, time to get back on it !!

Really not loving all this chocolate being available... its a dangerous time with easter fast approaching!! It would be nice if I could eat it all without it desperately clinging to my hips and every other inch of my curves !!

Really loving the BEAUTIFUL WEATHER..... highs of 26 degrees today in London... yes. !!! White bits, get ready cos you are coming out haha!!

Just want to devote my blog tonight to my big brother's (and his fiance's!) magazine that they run for the local area if Bingley and surrounding areas. HERE IS THE LINK to this months THE PROSIDER issue

http://issuu.com/simonharrup/docs/prosider_2011_spring_wedding_iake thssue

Please take a look and take the time to support this as it really is amazing. My brother and his fiance have devoted themselves to this new venture and each issue of The Prosider magazine is a shining example and credit to their hard work, time and efforts. I was fortunate enough in March to be able to model some gorgeous wedding dresses for their "spring bridal issue" which is now out! The Prosider is a free community magazine and all the dresses, hair and makeup and photography have been supplied by local people in the area. It is just a massive achievement for all those behind and all the local people who contribute to it as well!!

There are some gorgeous pictures, somehow I have managed to pull off the whole "married bliss" look which is a rarity for me as I usually end up just looking moody in photo shoots (its a natural talent I have with moody music to match lol) I am just so impressed with the quality, the scenery, the make up, the hair, the dresses! Everything deserves a massive round of applause and definitely gets that and a seal of approval for me. Its BRAVO from the Ellenyi camp! I am so proud of my big brother Simon Harrup and his beautiful fiance Kimberley Devine for all their hard work..... totally pays off guys and this is proof xx

Really not loving aches from working out! My fella helped me work out last night, just a bit of toning and oh GEEEZ my thighs today. Best 10 minute work out I have ever done! There is no way that I could play Rugby like he does! His season is about to start and he is doing extra's so I thought I would be all cockypants and show him how it was done..... epic fail.

Really loving cute lil fluffy fairy cakes. Someone special brought some in to work today and they just melted in my mouth they were amazing..... my weakness for sure. Made my day you little beaut <3 x

WHAT A WEEEEKEND!! Scared a postman half to death by running down to sign for some contracts in my other half's rugby shirt and forgot that people don't usually do that!! I was just panicking that I might miss the postie and have to wait another week before being able to sign off on another project so I rushed down without thinking!! Then I learnt some new busta moooves from my gangsta girlies on sat night... they are teaching me to skank to old sckool chunes massiiiiive. ha! Love it.

Just had a listen to the vocal stems from Thursday's studio session... better than I had imagined which left me smiling like a CHESHIRE CAT that got the creaaaam! Awaiting news from Paris and really can't wait. Its like a very strange weird warm Christmassy feeling in the middle of April?! Is this how the Australians feel? Don't then have their christmas in april or something? I dunno... something like that I am sure!!

Next project already landed on my laptop... very funky riffs to it and the bass is OFF DA HOOOK.... so buzzed about getting down to writing and putting some AMAZN melodies with lyric. The hardest part of my job is waiting for mixes from DJ's and Producers as I just get toooo excited. Its sort of like baking a cake and wanting to eat it before it comes out of the oven. I just want the Ovens (dj/producers) to bake it already so I can have my cake and EAT IT. !!!

Really not loving having to wait. As above. Standard.

Really loving being absolutely fabulous right now. Reveling in my work, passionately diving into words, lyrics, inspiration. Feeling loved for who I am and seeing my own life having a positive affect on those closest... very rewarding. LOVE passin on a bit of buzz and get you all electrified.

ADDICTED to www.addictdjs.com totally!! Been in the studio working on three new exciting tracks for some amazing DJ's from Paris... check them out at the link above, their work is addictive, true to their name!! Feel very lucky to have written and provided vocals for and really nervous about hearing what they think of the work I am going to send over!

Its been great to work internationally as well as with DJ's from all over the UK. The work keeps coming in and I am loving trying to keep up to date with it all. Sat in the studio with my slippers on and the lights on low feels like a second home and the only thing better than being in the studio is being on a stage performing the tracks I made in the studio!!

Thankyou so much to my manager Matt Rudland and my other half for the daily support they give and for keeping me company in the studios! Excited and looking forward to hearing the final edits. PLEASE take a look at the website link above and support AddictDJ's because their music is just massive and their website has some gorgeous tunes!!

Really not loving having to work INSIDE when its beautiful sunshine OUTSIDE !! Its nearly the weekend though and I might be able to stretch out and enjoy some of this gorgeous warmth! Its definitely time for flippa flopps.

Really loving my bed. Best place ever and I can secretly hear it calling my name. Its not a voice in my head... its destiny.

Elle xo

Totally excited about getting in the studio tomorrow.... really looking forward to it! All three tracks have been on repeat on my Ipoddle in serious prep. Too tired to talk much and need to get my head down and in gear to deliver these tracks is or some v amazing DJ's... more tomorra.

Really do not like smelly feet. Don't need to even explain that one.

Really really really really LOVE today because my new issue of GLAMOUR magazine is out.... yes yes yes. I am a total geek, but love reading it in bed or when my other half has the rugby on... makes my day and is like an old friend when I need some advice, a laugh or just a nosey at other people's lives.

Off to get stuck into it!

Elle xo

Smiiiile !!

Today started by me waking up next to someone amazing and will end that way too! I did have to make him a cup of tea in bed as he had a day off, but I guess I can do that without anything much to say! Feeling very grateful (again) to those closest to me. When I get an unexpected carrot cake and a lovely little text it always makes my day.

Received a new track from a producer and personal friend Fonzerelli (Aaron McClelland) and really cannot wait to get working on it! I love the sounds he produces, they always make my hips move and get stuck in my head for days. I am so fortunate to be able to work closely with him and to be able to have the opportunities that I have had so far. I am looking forward to producing something amazing for you to listen to shortly! If you can't wait until then check out the tracks I have worked on in connection with Fonz at my youtube.... www.youtube.com/ellenyiofficial

Really not loving people who really really moan at pointless things... its not attractive, it makes your face look like it should be glued to the floor... its bad for your health and just makes people wanna close their ears and clam up from listening. More muscles used to frown than to smile... and smiling conserves energy... just imagine how bad moaning is for your body then haha!!

Really loving that Daybreak have got Lucy the weather girl back and got rid of that crazy guy who I complained about in a previous post. They must be reading my blog because as soon as I complained they started putting him in serious weather conditions to tell the weather and now he has disappeared all together which is just fantastic! Now I can watch the weather and actually understand the forecast and prepare my outfit accordingly!! That has just made my day!!

Inspiration wearing a bit thin tonight. Really struggled writing the last track for some new work I have been sent. Sometimes you just get writers block and you just have to ramble on and write it out until something better comes of it! I love "Just Jack's" track called Writer's Block... I always put it on when I get stuck. Doesn't really help much, but at least I don't feel like I am the only one out there.

They say that you write from the heart but sometimes my heart feels all locked up away from the world. I guess it is easier to do that when people judge you without looking with a view to understand. When I have no words, at least I always have a tune... my heart always sings even if it is muffled and locked away. The melody is something that nothing or nobody can take from me.

Really not loving coffee tongue. Now I love my coffee, but that icky tacky taste you get from drinking too much is just not nice! I wish there was some way of scraping that taste of my tongue so I could happily go on drinking coffee all day... oh maybe I just solved my own problem... toothbrush?? argh.

Really loving my boy's cooking. He is getting better at it everyday and cooked chinese tonight. Its amazing how much he is throwing himself into this and I am so proud of all he makes... even if I don't eat it lol. It is really nice to see him trying and not being afraid to learn something new instead of taking it for granted that I will always cook like most other men! Bless him.... even if everything is far too spicey and tastes like curry, its a start.

Elle xo

Motherly love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible... Today just shows that!! Its amazing where Motherly Love comes from... where you would least expect it to. My other half has cooked a gorgeous meal for the first time.... Honey glazed gammon, roast vegetables, mint and herbs new potatoes, and honey and mustard glazed parsnips (which Craig thought was a type of potato??lol) His mum came round and chilled out with a white wine spritz in a fancy cocktail glass and then we got the Knect out. Its just been lovely to share time and catch up with those precious to you.

Sometimes you get used to a certain way things are and you think that is just how it is. But then you experience something ten times stronger and you realize what and who matters to you. I can honestly say that the motherly love that comes from my other half's mum is true to this, it really has helped me to do the impossible when I have felt like giving up.

This week looks busy busy and I cannot wait to get in the studio and lay the vocals down for this project that I have been recently writing for. I have had the tracks on all weekend and the idea's just keep coming... my other half seems to think he can write a few lyrics here and there but needless to say I won't be taking him up on his suggestions!

Really not loving NOT being able to sleep in! I think because I am so used to getting up for work and because I am in a routine I just cannot sleep in on a weekend. So I end up getting up at 7am and cleaning the pad from top to bottom, doing a zumba class and then starting the day when all I really wanted to do was sleeeep.

Really loving family times, knect marathons are ace.... I seem to be amazing at bowling when I do this "twinkle toes" dance and I get strike after strike! Its been a great finish to a great weekend and although my arms are gunna ache after "boxing" and losing miserably it will make me smile every time I remember.

Brazen ft Ellenyi - Jolene (various mixes)

Check out this NEW remix of a Dolly Parton classic.... JOLENE (Brazen aka Fonzerelli feat Ellenyi)

Really not loving donuts without enough jam in them. WHY do you bit in and think your gunna get a mouthful of amazing jam and then boom.... nothing. Such a let down. Probably to do with the fact that its a cheap donut.... wouldn't get that from a Krispy Kreme now!!

Really loving time out. Spent some time out and away from work today. Went vintage clothes shopping to a vintage fair today which was really awesome. I LOVE stuff like that... you can find all sorts and you just never know what treasure you might unearth. I saw some creative ideas about how to make your own rings and necklaces and I am definitely doing that as it looks amazing!!

Just a quick chit chat today... more tomorrow !

Friday Feeling anyone? I will have me some of that please! Today has been beautiful. Just ordinary, nothing special, adventurous or amazing, but simply beautiful. I have been to see my partner's Nanna as it was her birthday today and spoilt her rotten with some treats. (she did want to try and put the hand & nail cream in the fridge, but thats another story!) I have spent some time with my number one and then got in my "office" to write some more. Everything about today I have loved and its ended the week on an awesome note!

Thankyou so much for your emails about topics to write about, I can't wait to hear your ideas and hopefully gain some insight and inspiration into how you see things. It means a lot to hear from you all and I really love getting personal emails, so please keep sending them to me. Another song written tonight, this one has been a team effort from a lot of different hurts and tales of troubles, but its what makes it real, so thank you to all who contributed their thoughts xx

Really not loving sore throats today. I have a lot of problems with my tonsils, obviously talking as much as I like to and singing as much as I love to! I talk and sing for a living, so its a hazard of the job unfortunately, but its getting a bit annoying at the moment!! I have 2 lovely little blisters on one tonsil... and I am in the studio next week. BUT. they will be gone. ha! Wishful thinking.

Really really really really loving tattooooo's today! I have several on my body, but I have just booked for a new piece on my torso and I have just seen the design for it which is amazing! I am also having some words written in the design and I can't wait til the end of the month to get it inked at last! I have the words "Devotion is my gift to that which deserves nothing less" "My song is yet to be sung" "In your voice, I find my song" all written down my spine in one long line and that so far is the biggest. But this new one I think will overtake the ink on my spine! Not looking forward to the 4 hours of pain.... but at least I can read Glamour while I am having it done!

Off to attempt to pull my other half off the Xbox/Call of Duty..... (harder than it sounds)

Tell me how you feel.....!! I am writing so much at the moment that sometimes it is difficult to write some absolute pieces of lyrical art. So I need things to write about, I want to know how you feel, I want to feel how you feel and write as if it were my own experience. It really does help when I can depict emotion into words and hearing how you hear it does just that. Thanks go to someone I was chatting to today because he really put into words exactly the lyrics I wanted to write. I think what he was saying suits the track I am writing for and compliments the music like a biscuit compliments a cuppa tea!

Really not loving new ballet pumps. Why do they give you unattractive little sores on the back of your feet?! You put on your comfy flats thinking that your feet are safe and boom.... You can forget wearing heels at the weekend unless you have a wad of plasters attached. Its tragic.

Really loving being myself. That sounds totally vain and like I love myself. But I am so happy right now with where I am at and who I am with and where we are headed. The stories I have been through have taught me valuable tales and I believe we learn from our stresses and strains. Sometimes you have to sacrifice what you are for what you might become! I am so blessed to be loved by those around me, they are a massive support net when I feel like I am drowning. So yeah, love it, love life. Life is peachy...

Elle xo

OOOOOh exciiiited!! Yes excited. Yes. AGAIN. sorry!! It does seem to be a regular thing at the moment, but for a long time there has been something I have always wanted to see... that is my voice on Itunes! Maybe it seems small to you, but I always wanted to be able to buy my own tracks on Itunes and now.... I finally can!! Over the past few years I have been working with the Big In Ibiza record label down in London on various dance and dubstep tracks. I am now proud to say that you can purchase them on Itunes (http://bit.ly/DubstepMashUp) stay tuned as well for future releases!

Its the middle of the week, which is my favourite part of the week because I know it is almost the weekend! Wrote another track tonight for a new project with some french DJ's (more details to follow soon!) which is totally different to the previous track. This one is more meatier, more attitude and an ace hook which I CANNOT WAIT to hear them gig live... just gunna be simply awesome. Totally buzzing off all these new projects and it really is changing my path as I type, but all for the better!

Really not loving the fine rain that soaks you to the bone. Just when I get all suited and booted it stops, then when I take off my 5 layers it starts. I just cannot keep up with it and wish it would make its own mind up!

Really loving sitting in the bath for so long that your feet wrinkle like an old ladies. Put on my candles, turn up some Bruno Mars, maybe even get an ice lolly and eat it in the bath just so you feel like a celebrity (thats what they do isn't it?) just absolutely love chilling out whilst my fella is at rugby training.... utter total bliss !!

Better get out, or I will just be a singing prune soon.... lol

Work is just pouring in, its amazing! I am so blessed right now and really do feel that this where I was born to be. It seems that everyday there is just not enough hours in the day to get things done. Working a full time day job and then making music every night takes its tole but someone once told me you can't do both and it seemed like a challenge.... and here I am taking part in that challenge!

I love my day job but at night and at the weekend is what my heart sings. But if that is what it takes, to work every hour I am awake, then that is what I will do. When you have passion for something, that is what keeps you going and focussed.. eyes on the prize guy!!

Really not loving "Daybreak"s new weatherman in the morning, has anyone seen him? He should be on Bargain Hunt instead, he is far too excited about "rain and wind sweeping the country in swift foul movements" I mean serious.. just tell me if I need my umbrella or my sunglasses cos thats all am tuning in for!! He needs to lay off his Coca Cola that early in the morning cos am still waking up and his party is on far too early for me!!

Really loving ZUMBA.... its amazing. Even though I am rubbish at it, get my feet and arms all mixed up and end up doing moves that resemble the funky chicken rather than anything remotely Latino! Its great fun, it makes me hurt the next day and I love doing it on the Xbox Knect with girlies... such a laugh!

No Monday Morning blues today for me! Sun blasting through the double glass doors in my living room this morning really set the mood for the week and even though the weekend is well and truly gone, still on a massive high.

Music is my heart and when I am writing, singing, just being in and amongst it all, it really brings out the best in me. There is nothing that I could write that could say how bubbly it makes you feel when you write something thats new and fresh. Even if nobody else likes it but you, it just seems to have magic powers that lift your spirit and makes all the long days seem worthwhile.

Really not loving moths. They just fly in your house and sit on your lamps with no point whatsoever! Its lovely outside and I like having windows and doors open, but there is no sign on my door saying "Moths Welcome" really wish they would learn. I am thinking about turning off my lamps and lighting candles. Lets see how many fly in then and if they do... survive that!!

Really loving girlie trashy mags at the moment. I read today about some snake biting a glamour models implants and dying from silicone poisoning. I mean if that doesn't make you do that awkward smile that you get from a bizarre tale, well then you gotta be stone! The world is so strange sometimes but it really does make my eyebrow raise when I see that headline !!!

Working late again, washing machine on its final spin and sending my head funny with the vibration... better get on.

Got a cheeky little chorus buzzing round my brain that I have written for a new track, really loving it and just can't stop singing it, I know that if my other half is still humming it a few hours later its a winner!

Really not loving how much your feet hurt after a great night out! With me being only 5.2 I like my heels and after dancing in 4 inch shoe boots all night, walking for miles for some onion rings and then more walking for a taxi... my feet today have just been shot!! Out come ballet pumps for days for sure... so glad its not snowing.

Really loving dancing in the supermarket aisles. The Weekly Shop is not exactly the best social event I have ever attended, but today as me and my other half were taking part it made me smile to see him MC Hammering it down the biscuit aisle! I mean lets not start a full on disco dance but really just love how free he is, and how free I feel when I am with him. Happiness is to be shared. So start shimming it up!!

Definitely time to stack up on some beauty ZZZZ so thats all for now.

Fonzerelli ft Ellenyi - Moonlight Party (Clip)

A weekend challenge.............. Lets get this Fonzerelli featuring me, video to 20,000 views by Sunday 27th March 2011 23:59. Only 204 views to go!!

Second cup of coffee...... and its got me dancing around the room to some new beats I have just been sent. Still in my cupcake pjarma's but had my crumpets with honey and feel ready for a full day.

Really not liking pointless lyrics in songs at the moment.... even if they have been written by your record label or other people and you just have to sing them.... speak up artists... cos they are just not great. For example Cheryl Cole... " I cut off my hair and I painted my toes..... " CUMMON. You could have tried. People think and do far worse things when they are splitting up with people who have just cheated on them and treated them like dirt.

Really loving reading my other half's Mens Fitness mag in bed while he isn't looking... they have some seriously good stuff in there, definitely think I will be dipping into future issues if just for the insight to a mans world!!

For now, thats all.
