House of Blues

Goodmornin !!
Time for a little update.
A few weeks a go, I was picked out among 14 other artists from school, to perform at Musicians institute Holiday Party, at The House of Blues. And oh my, it was sooo much fun !!  A whole night filled with live music, great food, amazing friends and a ton of love.. That´s pretty much all you need.
And that I got the oppertunity to perform my own music on the same stage as UB40, Slash, Ozzy Osbourne, Stone Temple Pilots and Miley Cyrus has performed on, among many others... Is such a huge honor and I´m so so so crazy grateful ! Something I will always remember.
Same night I also did background for my talented roomie Anni Kannika. So it was an awesome and perfect night.

Here´s the Video from when I´m performing Duffys "Mercy" and then some pictures from the evening <3

Ohh, Must be the worst blogger ever right now...:/ Sorry, sorry, i will get better! 

Well, these last months has been crazy, a very good crazy though !
Has been A lot of performances, both inside and outside of school. Writing new songs, photoshoots, studio recording, video recordings and rehearsals, rehearsals - I couldn´t love this life more.
But one of the biggest moments was when I got the chanse to perform with my amazing band on the big stage at House of Blues, at Mi´s Holiday Party :D
Did one of my original songs and then one cover. And It was a moment of pure happiness right there :) Daaamn, it was fun ! :D
Video and pictures from that will be uploaded very soon :)

Right now we have a little break from school, so I´ve done some recordings together with my amazingly talented roomie Anni Kannika, Youtube video with Tildzzor, who´s back in town for a lil bit! :D, celebrated christmas with my lovely LA family, and then took some time to just relax for a bit.

Right now, we are on our way for a little roadtrip, breathe some freash air, so we´ll see where we end up :)

Until the House of Blues and the rest of the live videos are done, I would like to share mine and Tildas little cover tune we did two days ago. So here we are, Believing. Hope you like it, please share if you do !

Have an awesome day and spred some love  <3


Back in business

Puuhh, It has been some intense weeks. Aaalll good fun though, wouldn´t wanna change it for anything.
We have been moving to a new place here in Hollywood, so instead of just me and Bastian, it´s now us two plus Anni and Brandon, sharing a 2 bedroom apt, and I looovvve it and I love the new place. Felt like home the second we walked in here. And to have the three best roomies you can imagine - just makes it a little bit better.

I´ve had rehearsals every day for different performances, been in the studio recording new things, music video shoot, outgoings and then shows outside of that. Completely happiness.


Yesterday I got called in to sing with Dirty Minds at their release party at Hard Rock Café here in Hollywood - the same night, haha. But of course I couldn´t say no to that !
Went great and it was so much fun - as always with these aaawesome guys ! You are rockiing !!

Tonight I´m having my own show at Loews Hotel. Been playing there every friday for the last three weeks now, and I love it !

So now it´s time to put on the stage face, off to rehearsal and then showtime !

Today, I first did background vocals for Alies and her audition to MI´s graduation ceremony, that will take place at The Wiltern Theater in 3 weeks. Then Me and my awesome fellow band members in Kiss´n Tell, did the same audition, for the graduation. 
There are 25-30 different band, fighting for the 4 final spots at the ceremony, and I cross all the little fingers and toes I got, that we will get one of those spots; would be sooooo much fuuuun !! :D

Now in a few hours, my little Jossan is arriving!!! :D So exited! And It´s her first time ever in USA, so we thought; why not really kick start it with a girls weekend in Vegas!? Heck yeah! :D
So tomorrow early morning, me Jossan Arazo Malin and Jennie, jumps in the car and drive off to Vegas :D

Here´s a video from the audition today, not the best sound or wiew, but it´s a video! :) Enjoy !


Dripping to the beat

Got a late call last night, and the person wondered if we - Kiss ´n Tell - Could play at a wedding today.
We got the whole band together, accept for the drummer, so we had to take a stand in - which did a great job -And then we vere able to take the gig and play today:D It Was fun and went great ! 
We played outside, in the sun, for 45 min, and OMG it was seriously dripping from me ! Was sooooo freaking crazy hot today! Holy Moly. Was probably over 100 degrees (40 grader).

Now I recently got home, sitting in bikini, and still I´m about to melt away! BUT I´m not complaining at all, don´t wanna change this weather to anything :D

A river leads to an ocean

Today I´ve been in the studio together with Martin and Thomas. We arranged and made some final changes on two of my new songs, that will be recorded now in the next couple of weeks.

I can´t say enough how grateful and blessed I am to have so many beautiful, proffessional and talented people around me, that I´m also able to work with. It means the world to me.
And there´s this very special feeling, when you´re in the studio and hear the chords you came up with in front of the piano, the melody you created and every single word you put togeteher - now come to life, and really become a piece of music. That´s pure happiness.
Thanks Martin and Thomas for being great friends and truly amazing musicians !

We did a cover a few weeks ago, of Joni Mitchell´s "River". This version is arranged and produced by Martin And Thomas, with me on the vocals. Listen to it on my soundcloud, just click on the link below. Hope you like it, Enjoy!

Beautiful saturday (laate)morning, and I´m now on my way to shoot a music video for a friend and his new song. Apparently I´m gonna be "The girl" in the video, so in with the stomach and on with the colgate smile and here we go ! :D

When the shoot is done, it´s right back to school and time for band practice.
Have a goood one !


Single Lady

Today I didn´t have any classes, so I took a tripp, downstairs to the gym with Arazo. Ohh woorkoouutt.
I catched some sun by the pool, and then I wrote out some charts for a performance coming up and also did some other practicing and singing.

Now I´m gonna pop a bottle of IceTea, yeass, and then watch a new serie I just found - "Single Ladies".
Pretty funny actually! Think I can learn one or two things from these ladies... And also, what NOT to do. haha

Here are some pictures from our - Kiss´n Tell - show last weekend




light the inspiration

The air is filled with relaxing fragrance, got some candles, and good music in my ear to find some inspiration to my own lyrics and music.
Trying to find different ways of writing lyrics and music over all, so I´m just taking some time to lay down and listen to a bunch of artists and songs that inspires me, and see what kind of ideas I can bring back to my own music. Happy to find a lot of new good songs, I´ve never heard before; always a pleasue :)

Tomorrow I have a meeting at the school, studying, practicing and band rehearsal for our - KISS´N TELL´s - upcoming show at Pig´ n Whistle here in Hollywood, this Fridat at 10pm.
So LA friends, stop by and enjoy a night full of hits from the 60´s til today, performed by my band KISS´N TELL.
It will be a great time !


sassy me up

Haha, I like that one of my teachers told me today - Go home, pour a glass of vine, light some candles, get that sexyness and sassyness going, and write that music, girl !!

Haha, Well I took her for her word, and yes, a new sound, just the way I want it, is being created, and I love it :D
SexySassy it is.

Atlantic records

I didn´t breathe for 7 hours today. Kind of. This day became crazy bussy, but still I enjoyd every second of it.
I always feel the best when I´m super stressed, and things goes on and on and on. haha, I´m guessing I´m feeling that I´m really doing something meaningful then. Oh, hell lot of I´m.

Started off with taking care of some paperwork for CSN, then off to vocal tech final test, then headed over to the office to complete and correctly write my resume, took care of some more paperwork, another final to turn in and then I ran to a meeting with Atlantic Records.

Right now I´m looking for an music internship, to start next quarter. Either for a Record Label, Studio or some sort of music business company.
Thanks to a friend of mine who is currently a A&R intern at Atlantic Records, I was able to get a meeting with an engineer from Atlantic. #Grateful for beautiful people <3
The meeting went well, so now the engineer is going to give my resume to his boss, and then we´ll see if I could get a meeting with him aswell, and hopefully an internship comes out of that !

I´m really exited, cause some of the greatest and a lot of my favourite artists from all times has been signed to Atlantic - such as - Aretha Franklin, ABBA, Rolling Stones, Bee Gees, Dionne Warwick, Phil Collins, Janelle Monae, Skrillex, Jason Mraz, Lykke Li, Christina Perry, Lenny Kravitz and the list goes on and on and on.... !
It would be a blessing and so inspiring if I were able to be even just a slightly little dust bunny to this company!
But we´ll see how everything turns out.
Now it´s bedtime, and tomorrow - more finals !

Nightinight <3

American Idol

I love USA and LA - cxcept the fact that it´s impossible to do anything work related if you don´t have the right Visa!!

One of my teachers is working with American IDOL right now, and we were able to submit a video of you singing, send it to him and he would go thru them all together with the Idol jury, and they would handpick 10 people out of the bunch, that was gonna get a VIP audition ticket to Idol, that took place 4 days later. You would have your name by the door, go pass the whole line, do your audition and then you´re finished.

The day after, my techer told me in class that I´ve made it thru the first cut.
Later on the same day, I get an email from American Idol, saying that I´m one out of the 10 people that have been chosen to do the audition ! :O
The next day they call me from Idol, and just want´s to confirm that I will be there for the audition the day after, and that I have my name by the door and everything is set up. - "Of course I will be there! BUT, you know that I´m an internationel student, with this kind of Visa? But I can still do the audition, right ?"
wooap wooap wooaaaaap...... For some reason, that hadn´t come thru, that I wasn´t US.Citizen.

If you´re not a US.citizen, permanent resident and allowed to work full time in the states, you´re not allowed to be a contestant in American Idol. It doesn´t matter if you´ve been recommended, handpicked, chosen by the jury or whatever - You need to show ID when you registrar, and if you´re not a US. Citizen - you´re screwed - aka I´m screwed... That sucked big balls.
Citizen Citizen Citizen, aaahhh !
Welliweell.... Either way, I´m grateful and happy that the jury liked me and that I was chosen. I can live on that for a while :)

Tomorrow morning I´m going in to the studio to record a track for a friend, then home to study for all the finals coming up this week.
Today I´ve been studyyyiinng, and then went on dinner with Kevin, Malin and Bali.
We ate on a open buffé restaurant... - We almoest had a puke party in the car home..Haha, Good food :D
Nope, now it´s time for bed !

Have a good day, much love
Pics from earlier days
Me and some friends went to see the movie "Grease", outside at the Hollywood cemetery, a couple of days ago. Thousands of people!! So cosy :D


Had some friends over for some bbq and drinks. Food, drinks and people gone - except for these lovely bananas!
Me and Ivan !

But I´ll tell you as soon as I can! Right now I´m just happy and surprised I even got this oppertunity:D    Welliwell, tell you more soon.

Red carpet and Studio session

Sunday morning!
Had a really good time at the Event this friday. Good musik, fashionshow, danced alot and ate deliciouus swedish food - shrimp sandwish, samon toast and swedish meatballls :D Some friends of mine walked the catwalk and they looked fabulooouuussss ! Hot hot hot :)

Yesterday me and Tilda went to see two producers we´ve got to know, had some lunch, and before we knew it - we were in the studio writing and recording a new song .
They played a beat they had made and me and Tilda started to write the melody and lyrics - I had a moment of pure happiness right there.

You are creating on the spot, everyone knows what they are doing and it just flows. Magic is in the air !
It´s those moments you truly know why you are doing this, why you are fighting for it and why you´ve chosen this to be your life - And that you don´t wanna do anything else with your life :)

Love the jurney, and run slowly towards the goal <3
