Hey Everyone,
Hope you all had a great week……mine has been pretty hectic but really cool. I was in the studio this week with the fantastic Danja……for those who don’t know he produced “Promiscuous Girl” and “Say it Right” for Nelly Furtado and “What Goes Around…..Comes Around” and “My Love” For Justin along with a host of other great songs so that was really cool!! On Saturday I did a photo-shoot with Tinchy, Chipmunk, and N-Dubz which was a fun day……even though the early start on a Saturday morning WAS NOT FUN needless to say I had a few cups of tea to wake me up!!! Lol……I also did the Big Gig at Wembley Arena on Saturday night…..all I can say is OH MY GOODNESS….the crowd was incredible I nearly went deaf from the screams which was AWSOME and seeing 20 Thousand people singing my songs made me really happy….can’t wait to start my next tour, get ready for that in March 2010.

Hi everyone, its been a while since i’ve blogged as i have been doing loads of promotion, interviews and generally running around like a mad person, but the first thing i wanted to say was THANK YOU!!......you guys did your magic and went out and bought the single and made it number 1 for 3 weeks..... WOW is all i can say, when they told me it was number one i almost didn’t believe it......i mean i was driving and i actually had to stop and breathe for a second. It’s so awesome the fact that it stayed up there for that long show’s me how great my fans are.....LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
My schedule lately has been pretty hectic.....i finished the Album "Rokstarr", and as my fantastic fans will already know it was released on Monday.....if you haven’t brought it yet WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!??? lol...... I performed at the MOBO’s with the beautiful Keri Hilson, which was great (she is lovely) and I was also recently on the Xtra Factor which was good fun….it was great to meet all the contestants and i got to see the first live show which was cool, i have to say that my favourite contestant right now is Stacy Solomon she is really sweet and has a great voice. I’ve also been doing a lot of writing and have had the pleasure of being in the studio with Miss Kelly Rowland and also Ive been doing some writing for Kylie Minogue which was pretty exciting
