I am a singer songwriter. I have worked really hard over the years to improve my craft and be the best I can be. Each day I learn something new about the music business and making music. I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with some fantastic people over the years, and feel very lucky to still be here trying to get ahead. My manager, Kevin Reynolds, has been with me since I was sixteen and has been a guiding light. I have been lucky enough to have Chris Brooks from Capital Radio join my management team. He spotted me on Myspace! Good Old Myspace. People like Adam Argyle who has been such an inspiration to me. He is an amazing artist and songwriter. He has been involved in so many hit records. He has written for Newton Faulkner and Mel C to name just two. He also produced tracks for Mel C and others. Working with Judie Tzuke was also an honor, she was the first person to show me how to approach song writing in a more honest way. She really writes from the heart and gave me the guts to change direction musically. Her daughter Bailey has just had a massive hit with the Freemasons so I send all my love out to both of them. I would say to all artists you just have to believe in yourself and try to keep positive honest people around you. I have learned to enjoy the journey and not get too caught up in the destination. I remain focused and try to be true to myself and all those around me. I really want to thank Joshua from Euphonica for his amazing teaching skills and mentoring. He has made a massive difference to my performance and approach to singing. I am really excited about that and I know how hard it is to get recognised. I have some gigs coming up and in March with my new band. My management team, KRMB Management, are also arranging some deals in Egypt. ( I am half English and half Egyptian). Please do leave comments and your feelings about life in the music business. I think it's real important we all share our experience and help each other out. Shereen xxx
