Video of after party post Vula's launch party @ Cargo...everyone was proper mash up!
Video of Vula's forthcoming single If You Want It:
Music of course...
Movies when I have time.
Random conversations.
Dancing when I go out with the girlies.
Travelling.
I'd like to meet:
John Legend...because his voice does something to me I just cannot explain. Musiq Soulchild for being a musical/lyrical genius - I don't think I've come across music that touches me as much as that of these 2 men. All my friends all over the world - I will come see you eventually, K?? Barbados first, then Hawaii, then..LA maybe (yes, cabbage man) ;) and Azerbaijan probably at some point. I just like to meet people who make everyday a better day. And people who really make me feel alive.

Don't watch much TV. Getting to know CBeebies pretty well though, lol, thanx to my 2 1/2 yr old nephew. I'm shit hot at Boogie Beebies (rockin' man). I love watching QuestionTime on Thursday nights. And Never Mind The Buzzcocks. Oh, and 8 out of 10 cats...that's always hilarity at it's upmost. Prison Break, Without A Trace, ER, CSI, Ugly Betty, Countdown and, um, Home And Away. Argh, the truth hurts, woe is me.
Books:
Like Water For Chocolate by Maria Esquivel. Any Shakespeare. Reading the 4 Lord Of The Rings Tolkien books at the moment. Don't get a lot of time to read...too busy talking and listening to music.
Heroes:
Anyone who has inspired me to live a better life and be a better person. There are so many people I look up to (I'm 4 10" HA HA HA) for many different reasons whether the reasons be large or small. I think I'm very fortunate to say I have several heroes in my life.
