R.I.P. James Brown. Thank you for your music. Love always
I'd like to meet:
I wouldn't mind jamming with Miri Ben-Ari and a viola one day!!! Perhaps Talib Kweli on the mic! Ha, never gonna happen!
Music:
I play Piano, Viola, a bit of guitar and any instrument i can get my hands on! My favourite instrument is my voice. Some days i just cant stop singing! I love music cos its always given me a way to express myself so i love most music. From playing classical in an orchestra to skankin' Jungle.
Soul has always been my all time favourite, i've always listened to motown and reggae. At the tender age of 11 I fell in love with hip-hop. I used to stay up listening to Radio 1 rap show every Friday and Saturday in secret with my headphones when Mum and Dad thought I was asleep in bed, pressing record as quietly as possible. Slowly being corrupted by gangsta rap!!! I think Nine's Lyin King and Watchu Want got me hooked to hip-hop! I'm addicted but extremely fussy. I've got so many recordings of interviews and remixes on dodgy tapes which dont play properly anymore! I don't have a favourite artist, too difficult to choose but i know who i hate thats for sure! First cassettes i bought were ASWAD- SHINE and CHINABLACK - SEARCHING. Waiting for something to impress me on the R'n'B scene which has fizzled to a commercial disaster. Love ravin' to drum n bass, making it's fun too.
I also like some acoustic stuff thats on the radio at the moment.

Movies:
Love 'em. Old ones, new ones. Anime and computer animations! Studio Ghibli. Long live Nemo and Totoro!!! Comedies: WAYANS; I'm gonna get you sucka! Romantic comedies, thrillers, as long as it keeps me awake! Love a good piece of art! Equilibrium, Lady in the Water. Jet Li's FEARLESS- such a beautiful film- if you havent seen it already, watch it, take it all in, read every word, it's mind blowing at the end, a true masterpiece and my favourite film of 2006.
BABEL=SHIT, WICKERMAN=SHIT, JEEPER'S CREEPERS=SHIT
Television:
Eastenders all the way! Whatever rubbish is on. Don't make time for T.V. Hollyoaks cos i hate it and i love cussing the crappy acting and crappy story lines. Twats on TV always make for good viewing to laugh at.
Books:
Romantic funnies, dont remember the story lines once they're put down but more relaxing than neuropharmacology textbooks. The omen series, The exorcist - way more scary in your head especially when your a catholic and only 14 years old at the time! The Chronicals of Narnia, i love all of them!!! Plato's Symposium - a greek philosophical dialogue for those of us who are fascinated by the mystery of true love.
Heroes:
My Mum and Dad, been through so much crap and still soldiering on. My bimbo sister Alessia-wot a babe!!! Miri Ben-Ari- violinist with my dream job. Ming-Ming the coolest cat next door for putting up with Milo the pomeranian for all this time. True inspiration on how to persevere living in close proximity to a bunch of losers (no reference to student house-sharing at all!!!)
