Welcome to Episode 169 of my podcast, have you from the crow's nest. It is Friday the fourth of December, 2020, and so yeah today it's day was good day and another. You know, I feel good today after, same as I did yesterday and I got up I did the washing up, and then I started tidying the kid's room space got chores in the morning and then it was lunchtime had lunch again weather was nice enough the sun just came out just before lunch so we're able to sit outside and have lunch, which was glorious sumana made. Someone made this green bread. It was as bizarre looking thing and if you want to see it gone to my Instagram or Facebook story for today. But it was really tasty and hip, it was like a green sandwich, it was. I'm sure it was healthy I hope it was healthy it looked like it should be healthy. And so it was nice lunch and then the afternoon I, you know, went to work. I did some stuff for client of audience ninja one of the clients. And then, then I worked. I did a bit of admin stuff, then I worked on my own music, which was great, a track called it blows you away, and I from the album a blind eye to love and I replaced the drums and found exactly the beats I was after so that's really good stocks that can sometimes take me quite a while, and then I started playing around with some orchestral sounds over the top of it. Not sure if they're really needed but by that point it was already sort of getting on a bit late, so I had a few other bits to do. I then did a very quick vocal warmup, and practice my seven song set. And it's not sounding too bad I actually feel like, you know what, I might even be improving my pitching and my range which is my control which is really really positive. And I'm feeling pretty comfortable with those songs now so I've actually had to play a gig I think I could, you know, I could do without panicking too much. And, which is the whole kind of point of this. And so, I think, you know, I will be doing my first performances, certainly in the new year. But, you know, I will start you know small start with the stuff that I upload or share with the lab and then probably in my facebook group, and then eventually, more publicly so I'm definitely working towards it, so that feels really good. I uploaded yesterday it was a little more stone uploading my tracks to BBC introducing. If you want to know more about that then listen to yesterday's podcast. And amazingly I had emails today to say your tracks have been listened to, if we're going to play them. We will be in touch. So, that I mean it's good because they say that it can take six months even longer to listen to your tracks so that's really positive 24 hours is brilliant. But now I wait and see whether they think they're any good or good enough to play or not. If they do, that will be awesome. I will feel very very good I'm sure if they don't, that's fine. I made more songs and I get them out there again. So the excuse me one second. Sorry about that. So, The two songs I shared the two songs from my EP grip the sky, and I'm currently in the process of uploading that EP to no sorry, not true at all. I'm going to be uploading that EP to Spotify and doing what's called a windowed release or release one track and then maybe every other month or every two months release another track from it. And what I intend to do is with each release, try and get some interest from blogs or, you know, radio stations or whatnot. And so I feel like I'm starting to, you know, starting to between the recording between the practising and performing the music between the marketing and the music I feel like I'm actually starting to get some momentum get some steam it's, again you know it's early days is such a huge amount of work to do. And it's not that I'm working eight hours a day on it you know I'm just putting in a few hours a day. In between other things and trying to balance out spending time with the kids and the family hence why each morning. You know I'm doing bit of
