Recording my EP



So this week has been pretty interesting!
I got a job for SUMMER which is awesome and I am super stoked about it!

"What is my job?" I hear you ask, well its basically just being a caregiver. Looking after people in their homes. I know what you are thinking, I'm not very caring or whatever, but I actually am THANKYOUVERYMUCH and I really enjoy it, so there!

Not only am I working now, but I have also been in the recording studio with my friends Matt and Matt. I like to call them Matt squared. Matt2. They are both University Music Degree Graduates so they know what they are doing!

The EP will only contain 5 songs, even though I have written a few other songs within the last few weeks. It would be cool if they could make it onto the EP too but at this point that's not going to happen.

So far we have recorded almost all the guitar parts, put the drums and the bass in there and Matt2 have also programmed some strings and stuff. My song Stars is sounding SO EPIC!!!!
It's all very exciting.

I will be holding a release party for the EP once it's finished, not entirely sure on when though. I would like to have it sooner rather than later, but I might have to wait until University is back up and running and the majority of my music supporters are back in town. No point having a release party and no-one turning up.

The fact that I'm even recording an EP is a huge deal to me.
It was on my Bucket List. I was gonna try to do it before I was 23 (don't know why I picked that age, just did) but I didn't know if it was ever going to happen. Luckily for me, I have friends who believe in my music! So I offer the massivest thank you to all the people who contributed to the making of this EP. When Chloe told me about it I almost cried. I feel so blessed and grateful. You guys are awesome and I love you.



That's all from me! Here are some photos that Matt took of the recording process. We have only been in the studio for a week and I'm not entirely sure how much longer we will need. We haven't even gotten around the vocals yet!



 Me sleeping. It was 10am. I'd been up since 6.30am. I was tired, ok?

 Me smiling, because it's all coming together and it's AWESOME!

Recording stuff! To be honest I don't really know how to work the software at all, but I do know where the record button is so that's something.
