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.

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
