So I thought I'd give you a bit of notice for the next one which is on the 20th July with rapper Sincere headlining. <br />I'm going to try and make it if I'm in town. It's only £4 and in a great location in Camden!

Once I get into it I actually enjoy it. I think it's the pic and vid uploading that is the most tedious part but what's a blog without pics? BORING!<br /><br />Anyhoo, so last night I had an amazing evening. I went down to The Monarch in Camden and stepped into Milly's World to support some stupendously talented UK rising stars.<br /><br />My main reason for going was to see my sister Obenewa and my cousin Angel but I was also very pleasantly entertained by the beautiful vocals of Miss Cleosol.<br /><br />Cleosol opened up the show with her fantabulous band and gave it all...she's got a great stage presence and is easy on the eye too.<br /><br />Have a butchers:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXSMXoQC4gH7BkpdcZaJQ6qX5ibG4eWsyr2Lr8fFYtAiCABjIpGMQARu2mA-1c4DRqwolZLsPFStinq_A-IjeAbMmW1VFebMi48VEMVKMtVLQXUZAxJXDAj3e7dEkek8mMQ4eCxcytoRU/s1600/DSC03033.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXSMXoQC4gH7BkpdcZaJQ6qX5ibG4eWsyr2Lr8fFYtAiCABjIpGMQARu2mA-1c4DRqwolZLsPFStinq_A-IjeAbMmW1VFebMi48VEMVKMtVLQXUZAxJXDAj3e7dEkek8mMQ4eCxcytoRU/s400/DSC03033.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608355615609485698" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEEPOQrB191a3j6ppe9YmfyXUXpYTpRHc2TyiiphAYyWkCrirwHfx_mX0uUYQvMh1OORpGpTUMXZSaug_GK2cUG_gMkvMBCLszL96PWPm0mM3tquNcY4uYuX0-1VEaNQr4YCbnVgu2oDc/s1600/DSC03035.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEEPOQrB191a3j6ppe9YmfyXUXpYTpRHc2TyiiphAYyWkCrirwHfx_mX0uUYQvMh1OORpGpTUMXZSaug_GK2cUG_gMkvMBCLszL96PWPm0mM3tquNcY4uYuX0-1VEaNQr4YCbnVgu2oDc/s400/DSC03035.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608356050679614050" /></a><br /><br />Here's some footage I took with my lil camera<br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dRbZ6hEZjaI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br />Next up was my sis...you know I'm slightly biased...BUT she's BAAAAAAAAD and A WICKED (excuse the excitement)...She's just excellent.<br />Anyway...see for yourself! www.obenewa.com<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV5raTOLSMReSTc2VmC-F_2r2W5IU4AIHRUgZbnNPOTKXGLCre4wzK1BTYkq1oqS7O2lNhzEhTUy5pKcVIjTaYH1DJ89nxWkuFjFNjj2uaVIaO1FMxLX0uqrLqU06c_pMtJ0u9PArijbc/s1600/DSC03043.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV5raTOLSMReSTc2VmC-F_2r2W5IU4AIHRUgZbnNPOTKXGLCre4wzK1BTYkq1oqS7O2lNhzEhTUy5pKcVIjTaYH1DJ89nxWkuFjFNjj2uaVIaO1FMxLX0uqrLqU06c_pMtJ0u9PArijbc/s400/DSC03043.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608357538446257154" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4JtQDSEchC1ofFeDnvUcmnECjfH8nxM7Nfgjv1xs0F2_-H9vSjRrM3A_g7CPPY0DHxvj0LaVFSSbqYSZ1r4EqhAslfmDsXcEi-ig2enCgz2usN0E9aXiLhyMnbZBPW37uIeBbacnCjEc/s1600/DSC03037.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4JtQDSEchC1ofFeDnvUcmnECjfH8nxM7Nfgjv1xs0F2_-H9vSjRrM3A_g7CPPY0DHxvj0LaVFSSbqYSZ1r4EqhAslfmDsXcEi-ig2enCgz2usN0E9aXiLhyMnbZBPW37uIeBbacnCjEc/s400/DSC03037.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608357535745816578" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />My family and West London properly represented last night! Next up was my cousin Angel...who I'm sure is no Angel lol, but has the voice and face of one nevertheless!<br />He blew us all away with his acoustic set. I wish I recorded more but it's hard to record and enjoy the set at the same time. So next time you'll have to come and see him for yourself!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW2dMU1ybSTxVSB_A9M-IUh6xOVOQCd6y4jx94tPjkl31tjQUXKNj4YBLw0gi3NgNbuDDurv4WuASN5TPz_cWsnNXknF7dJQhSyrXronprtdVoXmvJCpYR3aK2NjtVOVr7Bu7xU5paXDQ/s1600/DSC03053.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW2dMU1ybSTxVSB_A9M-IUh6xOVOQCd6y4jx94tPjkl31tjQUXKNj4YBLw0gi3NgNbuDDurv4WuASN5TPz_cWsnNXknF7dJQhSyrXronprtdVoXmvJCpYR3aK2NjtVOVr7Bu7xU5paXDQ/s400/DSC03053.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608361071789689762" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYFecVMtfLX3F2ZyjqCT4FWm5688B_qFymRGQLVAwjL9cVW7lHC3wADbLfOOyhQgnrQLhbsoGhKcwnElhJYpDPgK2Yqs8UlN3s_zhjgAIMDYYEARf0DsA0CZT4DWcS4XvpwujfBNBVE_o/s1600/DSC03051.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYFecVMtfLX3F2ZyjqCT4FWm5688B_qFymRGQLVAwjL9cVW7lHC3wADbLfOOyhQgnrQLhbsoGhKcwnElhJYpDPgK2Yqs8UlN3s_zhjgAIMDYYEARf0DsA0CZT4DWcS4XvpwujfBNBVE_o/s400/DSC03051.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608361067783996978" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_BrrA9l-4YM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br />As an artist, sometimes going to shows leaves you frustrated because some Artists have no heart....meaning I just don't feel anything from them when they perform. Like they're doing it for the wrong reasons or it is simply not their calling.<br />Last night I left the venue buzzing that I had witnessed some proper talent which inspires me also to step my game up. <br />I'm really proud of my cuz and sis cos I know how hard they work and how much music is their life. They WILL succeed!<br /><br />Anyway mi dears...I bid you good day as I walk off into the sunshine. I'm off to buy school shoes for my boy as he insists on using them as football boots. Oh the joys of Motherhood!<br /><br />Have a great day.<br />Love and Happiness<br />Nads xxNADINE CHARLES' BLOGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05605102561614477067noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980154455380375611.post-1323777384542661192011-05-18T09:31:00.007+01:002011-05-18T09:54:25.864+01:00Pics as promised from G.R.E.E.D.S' video shoot!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi1rDxY9vUK0T7i8X9N1fwQZrvsfNiT3yg8-vW3UhrKkLi7TYFsRvhPTkTZ8RKcQlB7Ija9yHGrfmJ1ZVkttYVsczfnQCOwZyKMyyhflBfkeq45-BexJF5qUYRdPexOIhh21rrFM_eBRI/s1600/227029_10150611819765206_841315205_18587867_5292952_n.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi1rDxY9vUK0T7i8X9N1fwQZrvsfNiT3yg8-vW3UhrKkLi7TYFsRvhPTkTZ8RKcQlB7Ija9yHGrfmJ1ZVkttYVsczfnQCOwZyKMyyhflBfkeq45-BexJF5qUYRdPexOIhh21rrFM_eBRI/s400/227029_10150611819765206_841315205_18587867_5292952_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607976595182589010" /></a><br />Here are a few pics of day one of the video shoot.

I'm very well, thanks for asking :)<br /><br />What can I tell ya?<br />Oh...so you know I said I wasn't into doing videos because I'm not really into that video vixen malarkey....ummm...well...I only went and bloody did another one! lol<br />Okay...but here's my reason (excuse). It was for a very good friend of mine, poet,G.R.E.E.D.S'. Starring in it apart from myself are comedians Kat, Simply Andy and A Dot! They are hilarious. It should be out, I think this week, but I'll post it up for you, here, on Facebook and my twitter so that you can see it as soon as it's finito! <br />In the meantime...here's an incy wincy clip from behind the scenes<br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MRzK4kadCAU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKpQmTCDxJc1UqLyeycfwnUY1zmAiXMROKkMLkiCvZYK-U3xEFR6Xvh0irkK9WnwKvAuwLOgUKeCQ_Y74PrctLkjTGNYdr0FpHB0MHtvvkY0FLfOWYFLBPucfseRRNzxE9G5-VbsYsdV4/s1600/225984_10150603660970206_841315205_18515960_1259381_n.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKpQmTCDxJc1UqLyeycfwnUY1zmAiXMROKkMLkiCvZYK-U3xEFR6Xvh0irkK9WnwKvAuwLOgUKeCQ_Y74PrctLkjTGNYdr0FpHB0MHtvvkY0FLfOWYFLBPucfseRRNzxE9G5-VbsYsdV4/s400/225984_10150603660970206_841315205_18515960_1259381_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607601130686374882" /></a><br /><br />Getting my make up touched up by RuMel<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvZhGRvrTJSGNXdNxxeCxT8GZJUWKONvFmJ8vZXSiYoqqnwyEujgfiWvQTwvs9yIWUnhEnjt4u-nm3SQ6xMpqQwVUMENEOPfmsEzFZUUvaB5NN5iHVzM38hzUd3cpRyZ5a71iI4osIDac/s1600/226743_10150603581825206_841315205_18514681_5018935_n.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 298px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvZhGRvrTJSGNXdNxxeCxT8GZJUWKONvFmJ8vZXSiYoqqnwyEujgfiWvQTwvs9yIWUnhEnjt4u-nm3SQ6xMpqQwVUMENEOPfmsEzFZUUvaB5NN5iHVzM38hzUd3cpRyZ5a71iI4osIDac/s400/226743_10150603581825206_841315205_18514681_5018935_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607600334211315730" /></a><br /><br /><br />Moi and G.R.E.E.D.S<br /><br />So filming for this video took up all of Friday and half of Saturday...but Saturday night it was party time. <br />My friend Mark De Clive Lowe AKA Mashi was in town from LA and performed a totally improvised set at Uprock's Party!<br /><br /><br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vGqIh_w_-Io" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC6e93_T1BJuEmSM8IyIRQ13il86F8gSjTJY_fZu7GO1Sz2iAE8NPAWLOTAANOaLQqhgBa_CFLll67k6zhg_Yk36GFcUOSC5vn4fJYE8Jhd5BkOiI62dd6fJaGW1720BfNNSodTlUWVUM/s1600/IMG-20110515-00043.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC6e93_T1BJuEmSM8IyIRQ13il86F8gSjTJY_fZu7GO1Sz2iAE8NPAWLOTAANOaLQqhgBa_CFLll67k6zhg_Yk36GFcUOSC5vn4fJYE8Jhd5BkOiI62dd6fJaGW1720BfNNSodTlUWVUM/s400/IMG-20110515-00043.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607603564001863410" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilnS2dvV6vqwMSwzT0wZnFuXgrV4aDKEXv0cZis9VtjMski8pud0rVKpO9hDSH0VrXTu2IBMMqwx0D0N2ZCy6HkSJANiYekX_SSz81YciSYE5YCl-dmpIY4SREHR23LJgpO9ZmgUdvkjo/s1600/IMG-20110515-00042.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilnS2dvV6vqwMSwzT0wZnFuXgrV4aDKEXv0cZis9VtjMski8pud0rVKpO9hDSH0VrXTu2IBMMqwx0D0N2ZCy6HkSJANiYekX_SSz81YciSYE5YCl-dmpIY4SREHR23LJgpO9ZmgUdvkjo/s400/IMG-20110515-00042.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607603561897548866" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxpTEK5ivOrl4f4TQjEVuUDKaKwpgk7tXjFa9lm9Z_nPBMflX38leMa1J2QzJtzkT53GB_uRWsLHbqkgTv5SjNdIlCrBx5cqnUIUaOVp7IytbE_TvQrvQ1mOBaEiBJX-A4qtiacaodBc8/s1600/e839c2c50b8d25930f1d4d243ecf70b0.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxpTEK5ivOrl4f4TQjEVuUDKaKwpgk7tXjFa9lm9Z_nPBMflX38leMa1J2QzJtzkT53GB_uRWsLHbqkgTv5SjNdIlCrBx5cqnUIUaOVp7IytbE_TvQrvQ1mOBaEiBJX-A4qtiacaodBc8/s400/e839c2c50b8d25930f1d4d243ecf70b0.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607603319444643522" /></a><br /><br />I had a fab time.

I love it because I like to communicate and express myself but I hate the fact it is so time consuming. But hey, it is what it is.<br /><br />If I tried to cover my 5 months of absence on here I won't be able to go out and enjoy the beautiful day we're having today in London (which is rare so I'm going to try and grab some rays).<br /><br />I'm actually not sure where to start....<br /><br />Okay, a couple months ago I was asked to be in a music video. Now I'm not into all that video vixen malarkey. But as it was Don E who asked me I obliged. He's an artist I looked up to when I was younger and it's nice to see him still making moves in the industry and producing quality soul music.<br /><br />Here is the video...and before you say it...YES I know, I have a big butt! <br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jAZJpzzP6t0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />I'm sure you must remember me mentioning my friend and fellow artist, Incisive before. Well he released valentine's EP which is FREE to download. There are some great collaborations with myself, the beautiful Terri Walker and the amazing Shakka!!!!<br />Here's the track I recorded with him last year which you can have for absolutely FREEEEE!<br /><br /><iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-gIY0DWTEk4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />He has also developed a brand new concept, "The Car Show" and he asked me to be a part of it. Basically he is getting different artists to perform a track in his car...in one take! Here's my attempt alongside my backing singers Kyri and Stephanie!<br /><br /><iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/59U_5i0-9P4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />What else? Oh I won an Award! <br />Hehehehehehehehe, watch me just casually drop it into the conversation like it's nothing, I'm such an egg! lol <br />Well to some it may not be a big deal, but to me it's a great thing because it was an award that you guys, my supporters helped me achieve, by voting for me!<br />I won the Urban Vision Award sponsored by UVF/iMG/Universal Music Group for Best visual video of the year 2010 for my video "You Are The One" !<br /><br /><iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6x75EWKRKAY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Last week I performed at the Legendary Charlie Wright's Jazz Club in Hoxton. Quite a few of you showed your faces despite it being a mid-week show, so I'm truly thankful, plus we had lots of fun! I had two photographers taking pics so hopefully in my next post I can show you some pictures.<br />I have a few more shows coming up which are TBC so I'll give you the heads up on those too.<br /><br />That's my most recent news for now.

This year's come and gone so quickly and if I haven't seen you this year I would like to see you before the year's out. So come down to see me and join me for a drink or something!<br />I'm singing at "Soulcial" next Tuesday 14th Dec @ the Workshop which is in Shoreditch, Old street.

I know my UK friends are battling with the snow, frost, generally crappy weather BUT the show must go on.<br /><br />Anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely HATE the cold weather and I am a sun worshipper and practically go into hibernation in the winter. However my schedule this winter has not allowed for me to be the hermit that I am. So I invested in a fur coat and against my principles, some Ugg boots. Yes I know, I know, they're ugly...BUT, they keep your toes from catching frostbite. Trust me. It's not about appearance in these times here! lol<br />So...I WILL be looking like a lil bear if you catch me out and around town. I can't afford to catch a cold, neither do I have the desire to do so.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqV6OTudfWJpEZ5E4ntsbc7LsFInhQ9VqTEpf0fDKzYdXhpw5TVJ9R5pgxiChXTUOIzrtFOhw8vjZWiGacB5XZPQ2vrtgskY0gxHp6YXeS1Bg-_e8k2QVlNaN7I_GdYl_tW7tVTJxCqvM/s1600/fur.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqV6OTudfWJpEZ5E4ntsbc7LsFInhQ9VqTEpf0fDKzYdXhpw5TVJ9R5pgxiChXTUOIzrtFOhw8vjZWiGacB5XZPQ2vrtgskY0gxHp6YXeS1Bg-_e8k2QVlNaN7I_GdYl_tW7tVTJxCqvM/s400/fur.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547272909264842034" /></a><br /><br />You'll be pleased to hear I've been a good girl. I've been taking my camera around town with me. <br />Last Week I was invited by one of my best buddies DJ Christoss to see The Legends of UK Soul in association with the ACLT in memory of Lynden David Hall. We were entertained by the likes of Don E, Mica Paris, Jonas, Joseph Junior, Sinclair and the Legendary Roachford.<br />Here's a clip of Roachford doing a song he wrote with the late great Lynden David Hall. "Where My Heaven Is". This song actually brought me to tears and meeting Lynden's wife who helped with the event humbled me.<br />Enjoy<br /><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/v1oDPeiuHR8?fs=1&hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/v1oDPeiuHR8?fs=1&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br />Next up was Don E.

But I so glad I made the effort to go and take in the show and give a lil to the ACLT charity.

One thing it has taught me though is to really not sweat the small stuff. Things that would normally get me down or piss me off are now irrelevant.<br /><br />I would like to send a special shout to my friends and band who have been very patient with me and have worked around me. Love you guys xx<br /><br />Anyhoo....moving on here are some pictures from the shoot I did the other day. I'm really loving the black House of Rena dress and I didn't wanna take off the fur coat. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAymRli2_6nvE_iPnAAEOlqdnJRrdGw-TYSYN5qSTVIQHtbWhoZLGe94D_-Pmpo6ToyDvwXHen_fghzBrvE0mAssjT7Q733ux2DPsvBKdf2wdXR3pm9euYwSek5TocHzQIuU9Y8iJExNc/s1600/M_000674.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAymRli2_6nvE_iPnAAEOlqdnJRrdGw-TYSYN5qSTVIQHtbWhoZLGe94D_-Pmpo6ToyDvwXHen_fghzBrvE0mAssjT7Q733ux2DPsvBKdf2wdXR3pm9euYwSek5TocHzQIuU9Y8iJExNc/s400/M_000674.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539457248904369986" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEjvfycm0oxgeurd1Qp_DQIMU6XbQr249Fo_0lPWnMGqsBY1YxAA-MhFRgTYGbbE5v9g4woiXtCm7Gw0aVwxloC8UXdIvkvCu7YyMGjc8O85YYHCQSK9k_6AfgVA6WhYVnKz53gbdKg4w/s1600/M_000497.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 303px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEjvfycm0oxgeurd1Qp_DQIMU6XbQr249Fo_0lPWnMGqsBY1YxAA-MhFRgTYGbbE5v9g4woiXtCm7Gw0aVwxloC8UXdIvkvCu7YyMGjc8O85YYHCQSK9k_6AfgVA6WhYVnKz53gbdKg4w/s400/M_000497.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539457242730350370" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx72GfpCkblyIvYPwqMFCk7Z9kAr9tGS0mp-RXoqb5UpLg98FsJpdmAyKYFaUq_EqGYK51pszxEiGHiCRi7Dclvl6Yb5w_SjKmk07TZ6mTfS0GeBrMyMetf9_fHb8kRBEiH-uFjgm3vSw/s1600/M_000455.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 297px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx72GfpCkblyIvYPwqMFCk7Z9kAr9tGS0mp-RXoqb5UpLg98FsJpdmAyKYFaUq_EqGYK51pszxEiGHiCRi7Dclvl6Yb5w_SjKmk07TZ6mTfS0GeBrMyMetf9_fHb8kRBEiH-uFjgm3vSw/s400/M_000455.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539457234044404882" /></a><br /><br />We had a lot of fun and I think we are due to shoot again soon!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Some pics from Shoreditch House Gig...Note to self...Learn to sing pretty! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBgZzrwXaYWCEO5bcblrDoQu2hKHmebgYFYbwIF1BV_zVT7Pf92OYIWbpd7ki67Rfh462DtD0nncF7KjpSO9Ewd-kYBUidB8XpmR-IhTfXy7LtxLW90HWN5KU9XDWNuXfPzmwZyJONNrg/s1600/dsc_7808_33.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBgZzrwXaYWCEO5bcblrDoQu2hKHmebgYFYbwIF1BV_zVT7Pf92OYIWbpd7ki67Rfh462DtD0nncF7KjpSO9Ewd-kYBUidB8XpmR-IhTfXy7LtxLW90HWN5KU9XDWNuXfPzmwZyJONNrg/s400/dsc_7808_33.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539460047802622914" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdiFJ5ZuF_9g_b9DVqg8fqwZ6o2yEfoYMJO8DxytrKBLY9HQahl4CT1zeiJMo6d51Zq7LgGb08j6tJbUUvNpvyBVOFtWPaUxsYC7ToyEN7aR9xSHeRHCHasjKNmLI564Yfam40q1KV9Ec/s1600/dsc_7863_40.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdiFJ5ZuF_9g_b9DVqg8fqwZ6o2yEfoYMJO8DxytrKBLY9HQahl4CT1zeiJMo6d51Zq7LgGb08j6tJbUUvNpvyBVOFtWPaUxsYC7ToyEN7aR9xSHeRHCHasjKNmLI564Yfam40q1KV9Ec/s400/dsc_7863_40.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539459818651722978" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdICd4xceRkoz8GORBHfxkAmWEQ7FfjfCMKpoDwCSAynWcOhFnp72oNQvYRMi-9ctLXjBiv-MYbk9AZC9WsnauZZxw7ypNLxZ-g4j2KjiQfdqfTSO_jtljH4-WDXWriFmqlU7VEzM4aAo/s1600/dsc_7860_39.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdICd4xceRkoz8GORBHfxkAmWEQ7FfjfCMKpoDwCSAynWcOhFnp72oNQvYRMi-9ctLXjBiv-MYbk9AZC9WsnauZZxw7ypNLxZ-g4j2KjiQfdqfTSO_jtljH4-WDXWriFmqlU7VEzM4aAo/s400/dsc_7860_39.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539459808959798226" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIG3WL6rGSMSM8uMZIg3xNCXmMlw1NJnVweOQStJImjqZViPa1Uz4m87m16Fqr8n89NCKiCnnGzNuh8Oa_BABwnsYpjTDwq7sSzFaDgGWDbs8UtqGdIbZKoonMO2gi3EX8-TAaI7LVk8g/s1600/dsc_7776_31.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIG3WL6rGSMSM8uMZIg3xNCXmMlw1NJnVweOQStJImjqZViPa1Uz4m87m16Fqr8n89NCKiCnnGzNuh8Oa_BABwnsYpjTDwq7sSzFaDgGWDbs8UtqGdIbZKoonMO2gi3EX8-TAaI7LVk8g/s400/dsc_7776_31.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539459803714962098" /></a><br /><br />Last week I performed @ I luv live and Soul 4 Real.

I left the 50's desperate housewife themed shoot totally in their capable hands, which was pretty brave of me, but I'm excited about the outcome! <a href="http://michellecandicestyling.com/blog/shoot-with-nadine-charles-and-vip-dressing/">michellecandicestyling.com</a><br /><br />Behind the scenes<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBvmvkPUBFlYInNxmCuHFYNSkQJIgOCX7i9Y7bTKZ0QrYncs90QP7ZiGOnf-X61PIfLHsNtov936Q5c3_DQwwkFwhRN_XNoaEejsqMa06deyG_32tT1K8GbLYHXIoRiOwVst40AHewvzE/s1600/behind+scene+mcs.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Emmy Collins’ work today is not a copy of Fela’s sartorial sense. Instead he has honed his creative skills while borrowing from some of his personal childhood creations and allowing memories of his music icon to inspire his original designs today. These influences have never been more evident than in his Spring/Summer 2011 collection recently unveiled at the Pitti Immagine Uomo 78 men’s apparel fashion show in Florence, Italy. <br /><br />The Emmy Collins London collection can be viewed at his eponymous showroom opening 25th August at: <br />87 Great Eastern Street, London EC2A 3HY, TEL:02034870734, Email info@emmycollins.com<br /><a href="http://www.emmycollins.com">www.emmycollins.com</a><br />Feel free to come down and have a sneaky peak through his collection between 11am and 8pm. <br />I look forward to seeing you all there.<br /><br />I will also let you know when the Grand Opening Launch Party is taking place, that will be an event and a half!!!<br /><br />Okay me dearies. I need to get some rest.

Hopefully I will get it by the end of today and I'll post it up later or tomorrow.<br /><br />HOW ARE YOU? It's been a while since I've asked that. I'm always going on about ME ME ME but I'm so grateful for all the feedback i get on twitter and facebook, but you guys are still shy after all this time to write comments on here...what's so scary??? <br />It's all good though, any feedback is appreciated, so thank you...I <strong>do</strong> listen and hopefully learn!<br /><br />Anyhoo...the past week has been fantastic. Call me Miss Hot Foot! I have been out quite a lot since the last post. Restaurants, clubs, but most importantly some excellent gigs!<br /><br />I would've loved to have given you pics and footage from Kaidi Tatham's gig @ Jazz re:freshed but silly me was too out of it to stick around! I had taken some medication and accidentally mixed it with a lovely glass of wine which had a crazy affect on me! I was so upset because I was looking forward to it ALL week.<br />Anyway, I just found some footage on youtube...(kaidi is the guy on keys by the way)I'm honoured to have had the pleasure of working with him :)<br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cDnupoVLsGc&hl=en_GB&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cDnupoVLsGc&hl=en_GB&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><strong>TY's ALBUM LAUNCH</strong><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpzz3TNBJn1KE3p4u1zGdkZAFcX7t89h1NMZnvXBoFN0uzvZjrMCVG8ZNLVnyrbd2rLkoF9BulyykTh2uZ3Fvs3f1OwqacvH1r7ORDACL4Tlz6pbcZLYoIfKCFOrvurdRd_zSwhAu7_Fw/s1600/DSC02843.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpzz3TNBJn1KE3p4u1zGdkZAFcX7t89h1NMZnvXBoFN0uzvZjrMCVG8ZNLVnyrbd2rLkoF9BulyykTh2uZ3Fvs3f1OwqacvH1r7ORDACL4Tlz6pbcZLYoIfKCFOrvurdRd_zSwhAu7_Fw/s400/DSC02843.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480771853781338738" /></a><br />I'm so happy to have actually witnessed this Album Launch. It really set the standard to a totally different level. Everyone I know that went said it was the best gig they'd been to in a while and I'd have to agree. Ty is a fantastic Lyricist and has the respect of so many other UK and overseas artists (including myself) which is why so many of us went to support him @ Jazz Cafe last Monday. I've said it a hundred times now and I know I've annoyed a couple people who missed out but I said it was gonna be one <strong>NOT</strong> to miss and I was right!<br /><br />The support act on the night was none other than Colin Emmanuel aka Black Einstein. <br />I saw his set a few weeks ago at a gig on Brick Lane and was blown away , but this performance was even better!<br />Here's some footage I took with my own fair hands.<br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=12421753&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=12421753&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/12421753">Black Einstein @ Ty Album Launch</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1928663">Nadine Charles</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br /><br />In between sets we were still bubbling courtesy of music provided by DJ Mr Thing and DJ Bounce. <br /><br />When TY hit the stage it was non-stop energy from beginning to end.

I like most of the music my parents played when I was a kid and as my mum was a fan and went to see George in nineteen seventy-something, I also became a fan!<br />A friend of mine is his Stage Manager and tours with him so I get the hook up every time he's in London :)<br />Last year I saw him at the Royal Albert Hall which was fantastic, but this year he played at the O2 Arena...not so brilliant. George was fabulous as usual but I don't like that venue AT ALL...the sound in there was very questionable.<br />Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the show as he has a fantastic band and his voice is faultless, not to mention his guitar playing skills! WOW<br />I only recorded a little bit because I wasn't sure how it would come out so here's a snippet of the night!<br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=12422959&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=12422959&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/12422959">George Benson</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1928663">Nadine Charles</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br /><br />I know I winged a bit about the venue, but being a musician, my ears are kinda sensitive. But I had a lovely evening and enjoyed hanging out with George and the band after. <br /><br /><strong>Candy Mag </strong><br />Candy Mag is an urban men's magazine, it's a British equivalent to something like King or Show magazine.<br />I was asked to do an interview and photoshoot for this publication a few months ago and although my initial reaction was "are they going to expect me to get my bits out?" I was quickly put at ease, so I agreed to it. I had an excellent make up artist with me that day, Emily Rose, who used minimal make up but make me look lovely. Thanks luvvy xx<br />And I had the pleasure of working with Kosher who is a wizard with the camera. I saw the pictures before any airbrushing and I was very impressed.<br />After the shoot, I was interviewed by Semper. It seemed more like a conversation than an interview, so on the whole it was a great day.<br />Last week vol 4 of Candy Mag UK was launched and I went along to the party where I met some of the featured models, such as covergirls Sashia Summers and Demented who were absolutely lovely. <br />We were entertained by a girl from a group called Polefection. Basically they teach pole dancing for exercise and host parties such as Hen nights etc. I can tell you the performance went down a treat with the lads and I must say seeing the dancer's bodies made me consider doing classes for exercise purposes. Don't worry, I will not be changing professions on you.<br />Here's a little clip of the dancer...<br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=12424916&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=12424916&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/12424916">Candy Mag!</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1928663">Nadine Charles</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br /><br />Here's footage from my shoot at the Femelle studios<br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1-J5bNDvZdk&hl=en_GB&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1-J5bNDvZdk&hl=en_GB&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br />You can download Vol 4 of Candy mag at <a href="http://www.candymaguk.com">www.candymaguk.com </a>for just £1 for the digital copy.

The sun generally puts people in a good mood and encourages us to come out of our dwellings and socialise. I ♥ it a LOT!<br />It helps motivate me. Let's be honest, when it's all gloomy outside it takes an extra effort to get out of the bed. When it's sunny I practically jump out of the bed and hit the ground running! lol...okay slight exaggeration but you catch my drift!<br /><br />From the end of last week the weather here in London started picking up which coincided with a session I had with Dornik Leigh of the Truth MoveMENT.<br />I normally go to his house and within a couple hours I will have written and recorded a song. We have a great chemistry. In the last few months I think I've done four or five tracks with him.<br /><br />I videoed a bit of the session for you all to see how the song began and how it progressed. And because we're feeling sunshiny, Dornik and I are giving the track away for FREE.<br />It will be available in a few days so stay in the loop by following me on my twitter so you can get the download details <a href="www.twitter.com/nadiva99">www.twitter.com/nadiva99</a><br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11992184&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11992184&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/11992184">Come On Son</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1928663">Nadine Charles</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br /><br />The same evening I ended up @ Mau Mau. The Uprock boys had New York Artist Spec Boogie performing and my sis was singing a couple of his hooks so I thought I'd go and have a peek and also keep her company.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYO1VYPqUKffVsV98D5ulWAIa4pbyHD4uNtNJYzikgklMzEJZyjoBEUbyTXbZAT02IIQloNiAyXHpt8-KQ6A3NigRQgoLj37uLtbYM2xMqSmDg8c9Y_1v-FXuTOkgmOpFU_C4bJG9FKI0/s1600/thai.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYO1VYPqUKffVsV98D5ulWAIa4pbyHD4uNtNJYzikgklMzEJZyjoBEUbyTXbZAT02IIQloNiAyXHpt8-KQ6A3NigRQgoLj37uLtbYM2xMqSmDg8c9Y_1v-FXuTOkgmOpFU_C4bJG9FKI0/s400/thai.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474918973028609090" /></a><br /><br />As usual we grabbed a bite to eat first. I actually ended up getting upset because my friend <a href="http://www.twitter.com/incisive1">Incisive</a> ordered food which tasted waaaaaaaay nicer than mine...it got quite emotional. But luckily the show had me bobbing my head and I forgot about it ....... till the show was over!<br /><br />I'd never heard of Spec Boogie before, as did none of my friends, but he had us all singing along, dancing and vibing. <br />Check him out <a href="http://www.specboogie.com">www.specboogie.com</a><br />Have a look at the footage I took below...There's so much I missed but I got quite a bit still!<br /><br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11994891&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11994891&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/11994891">Spec Boogie</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1928663">Nadine Charles</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br /><br />The good weather continued to the weekend. It actually got hotter. On Saturday I overdosed on football. My son had football training in the morning, then in the afternoon he had a Football Funday at his school. I spent 6 hours watching football. My idea of HELL. I actually do like football, but little kids who don't know how to play, who sulk when they lose (hmmm sounds a bit like men! lol) is NOT fun. BUT hey it's part and parcel of being a parent. Sometimes you've gotta do stuff you don't want to.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcXUP3nf_i_7mlz6d2_31ZQPzjjYR0TwI5A2Ux5mA5iJepMlzjB0bV-dlu91Klq03KYWvAEseDcIGZgYFN9N4HfElnc6XhaCZmUtRDMdKKHJ2BiGPvxYkdJEYGoDJtWX3Pjq_JVUI8YHo/s1600/DSC02829.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcXUP3nf_i_7mlz6d2_31ZQPzjjYR0TwI5A2Ux5mA5iJepMlzjB0bV-dlu91Klq03KYWvAEseDcIGZgYFN9N4HfElnc6XhaCZmUtRDMdKKHJ2BiGPvxYkdJEYGoDJtWX3Pjq_JVUI8YHo/s400/DSC02829.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474902609905734786" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjujqjzzhA1l49IIrXgKx8BPhVMowoci-m5f0LmHc3WfiDVRsp2UBlYrCP-oSSsK1W4wupz6o0uFg2ID-B1OPwG9tQYqFXxPk1u70xJImVp4BqWG1d2_mdIFcnSjsuKLiUuqkumRfN0wXo/s1600/DSC02828.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjujqjzzhA1l49IIrXgKx8BPhVMowoci-m5f0LmHc3WfiDVRsp2UBlYrCP-oSSsK1W4wupz6o0uFg2ID-B1OPwG9tQYqFXxPk1u70xJImVp4BqWG1d2_mdIFcnSjsuKLiUuqkumRfN0wXo/s400/DSC02828.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474902605156078066" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_z8rG5Mc0FkyRbJc1ZAeYbSiM6D0iADpcTy4gaEiaOgeSZBXXDSY_hgjmHU5HOhpD1IUbHJNGXb-2ykLbk7AV_5ncbEtDRK9aB2yt7ZWyEsQ4IHQXjZPMtWq6XsWB29rCAp6BER78xV8/s1600/DSC02827.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_z8rG5Mc0FkyRbJc1ZAeYbSiM6D0iADpcTy4gaEiaOgeSZBXXDSY_hgjmHU5HOhpD1IUbHJNGXb-2ykLbk7AV_5ncbEtDRK9aB2yt7ZWyEsQ4IHQXjZPMtWq6XsWB29rCAp6BER78xV8/s400/DSC02827.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474902595409936402" /></a><br />So Sunday, was about MEEEEEEEE! lol<br />Some friends and I wanted to go and make the most of the sun, so we decided to go to one of the biggest parks in the country, Hyde Park.<br />I packed a bag full of goodies and a cooler full of drinks (including a lovely bottle of wine), whacked on the sunscreen and headed off to the park.<br />One of my friends suggested roller skating! hahahahaha...as if!

I came to the conclusion a long time ago that music is the remedy for me. If I'm sad I play music, if I'm happy I play music, if I wanna create a mood *wink wink* I play music. Music plays a big part in my life. I've written some of my best songs when I've been going through some major ish and needed to vent. I LOVE MUSIC !!<br /><br />SO...continuing from my last post, I've been going out to more gigs! Supporting some fantastic musical friends of mine. <br />I went down to Vibe bar in Brick lane to see my friend, musician and producer Colin Emmanuel otherwise known as the Black Einstein.<br />He actually produced a track on my EP <a href="http://www.nadinecharles.bandcamp.com">www.nadinecharles.bandcamp.com</a><br />Have a listen. It's called "Not My Man".<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO9lXqKPAatx2Lv0xXVtkfvL5ysdHaeX95zDtJsLCUtijQELjAsAEAs2MWXEXvkqx3BLYSsIpTVphvDTk1f8StanPE5VpCc2edvjheHYZDVurTgBvSt-l7Whze3HIFAefVt_u2kdXp_BA/s1600/col+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO9lXqKPAatx2Lv0xXVtkfvL5ysdHaeX95zDtJsLCUtijQELjAsAEAs2MWXEXvkqx3BLYSsIpTVphvDTk1f8StanPE5VpCc2edvjheHYZDVurTgBvSt-l7Whze3HIFAefVt_u2kdXp_BA/s400/col+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472881916865791202" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjanyjfncWFp0tQ1GPyOUOJEvyLlV-rPQwSrlm0cXyCsn9dGbt-Yat51XYZH6Cwe1W82Ii1PUa7bd_T5IMsCetg_g6lDqt9dNeQr_XnFe78jS0LPm_08FxW-TZe6ItPwnnPw2b9neVpcSQ/s1600/col.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjanyjfncWFp0tQ1GPyOUOJEvyLlV-rPQwSrlm0cXyCsn9dGbt-Yat51XYZH6Cwe1W82Ii1PUa7bd_T5IMsCetg_g6lDqt9dNeQr_XnFe78jS0LPm_08FxW-TZe6ItPwnnPw2b9neVpcSQ/s400/col.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472881909374985682" /></a> <br />Anyhoo.

I decided about 8 months ago not to chemically process my hair anymore because my hair was crying from all the madness I was doing to it. And in a bid not to use my hair straighteners to get my naturally curly hair straight,I decided to give it a break and braid it for a few weeks. It was a bit of a shock to the system but...I'm getting used to it!<br />Just thought I'd explain the change of appearance...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGCKlQOlz_DYYTN3IQu22hlYNNac0agawy1O7wnO-AkMPOplN8ur_wIIVF5tXRlb0JUJxwjo_NmX80w0I6kmdJge3tc8NLR-gERLNoXxfMtkCbSlUHN7cBctZLmfZc1rZPtmMwTpR975U/s1600/geek+chic+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGCKlQOlz_DYYTN3IQu22hlYNNac0agawy1O7wnO-AkMPOplN8ur_wIIVF5tXRlb0JUJxwjo_NmX80w0I6kmdJge3tc8NLR-gERLNoXxfMtkCbSlUHN7cBctZLmfZc1rZPtmMwTpR975U/s400/geek+chic+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467517290679131586" /></a><br /><br />Anyway...onto more interesting things.<br />I've been busy, out and about and even remembered to take some pictures and footage. I think I deserve a massive pat on the back. Yay me :) <br /><br />So...we've had lovely weather lately which has made me much more sociable.<br />I've been a bit of a social butterfly! lol<br /><br />My friend Yomi, otherwise known as poet, G.R.E.E.D.S, invited me to the Grace Obika Album launch as he was her opening act. So I rounded up a few of my friends and headed down to Bar Music Hall in Shoreditch. <br />As usual he smashed it. I love it when an artist engages a crowd, and Greeds does it EVERY time. When he talks, people listen. A great skill.<br />I took some footage on the night so you could see the talent, but it's one of those " you have to be there to get it"...Hopefully my camera captured the spirit of things but I'm afraid the sound man was deaf and the lighting person was blind, so the levels are not too great!<br />Have a butchers below!<br /><object width="400" height="300"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11476245&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=11476245&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/11476245">Untitled</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user1928663">Nadine Charles</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p><br /><br />The pics I took on the night were waaaay below average!

So luckily I didn't have to do my make up and I also got the job. I did the shoot the following week, which consisted of a couple looks, one being a bride, so I daydreamt as I posed in a stunning wedding dress!...one day...*sighs*<br /><br />Anyway...pics will come soon<br /><br />Another friend of mine, rapper, Incisive invited me to his show in Shoreditch last Monday. I've watched his blogs, performances, even worked with him, but this was my first time seeing him live.<br />The venue was a little bit strange and there were some strange acts there...some were actually strange in a good way.<br />Incisive was on last, which was a good move on the part of the organisers because they really did save the best for last. <br />Again, I was a bit p'd off with the sound and lighting person. Different venue, same bloody problem. Luckily Incisive and his fab band are professional and they gave a great performance. <br />I will definitely go and support him again not just because he is a friend and a fellow West Londoner; his tracks and production are really good too. He's not just a run off the mill rapper, he's got that X factor. Follow him on twitter for more info and watch the clip below.

I've done loads of things and taken my camera with me everywhere but taken very little footage and pictures. It's hard to enjoy yourself when your stuck behind the lense of a camera.<br />I apologise for being so selfish. I realise the error of my ways!<br />So from today I'm making a conscious decision to take more pics etc even if it's just a couple.<br /><br />What have I been up to? <br />I can't remember everything off the top of my head, but the events that stand out are :<br /><strong>Shean Williams Mixtape launch party</strong><br />This dude can SANG! I love his voice and his slightly gospel/oldskool feel although he's very current. He's also a very humble person. I've come across so many people who have fallen into the "internet celebrity" thing and believe their own hype. Not our Shean. Look out for him. He's on facebook and twitter as "Face Williams", add him and follow him. <br /><br /><strong>Obenewa @ Shoreditch house</strong><br /><br />Yes I'm slightly biased as most of you know this chick is my sister, BUT she was fantastical last week @ Shoreditch house. I invited quite a few of my friends down to see her and although some of them weren't very familiar with her material, by the end of the night she had them singing along and downloading her mixtape!<br />That speaks for itself!<br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com.obenewamusic">www.twitter.com/obenewamusic</a><br /><br /><br /><strong><br />Cat on a hot tin roof</strong><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt3XzAdMG4BpBPeGbGCUHeaKrHR64tEgnHOKa2wCwtf5gf02EG2FvqFBcYqsvlyIyKyK57RTdkt598GUBm2xDCS_Bupv3fQVjzGYwQAu7VSeglq7V84D85DJDVG9AqtD19Xjkh8AgPaXE/s1600/sanaa-lathan.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt3XzAdMG4BpBPeGbGCUHeaKrHR64tEgnHOKa2wCwtf5gf02EG2FvqFBcYqsvlyIyKyK57RTdkt598GUBm2xDCS_Bupv3fQVjzGYwQAu7VSeglq7V84D85DJDVG9AqtD19Xjkh8AgPaXE/s400/sanaa-lathan.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462292425603303122" /></a><br />I've been wanting to see this play since it came out last year. For those of you who don't know, it stars Sanaa Lathan (hot chick from Love and Basketball) Phylicia Rashad (Fame), James Earl jones (Mufasa, Lion King). So...I dropped hints, left messages, status updates and then one day, I think on the day the show was closing, I got tickets. I was beaming. It was a long play but I really enjoyed it and respect the actors for learning all those lines cos I find it difficult learning a couple songs! <br /><br /><strong>Rehearsals</strong><br />I've started rehearsing again. I've put off live performances for a while because I've had so many other things to take care of, but I have started rehearsing with various musicians and am really enjoying it! So make sure you show your support and come see me when I announce dates. :)<br /><br /><strong>Jason Jermaine @ I luv live</strong><br />I went down to the Proud Galleries in Camden to see my friend Jason do his thang. If you haven't seen him perform yet, you should really catch one of his gigs. He's got a really unique style which I find it hard to describe. It's kinda electro, retro, soulful, pop....I'm doing a crap job. Best thing is to listen yourself.<br />Trust me, he'll have you singing "Hollywood"!<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>The Video</strong><br /><br />For all of you that have asked me about "the video", it's nearly done. As soon as it's finto I'll post it up for you all to see.<br /><br />I'm going to dash now because I have to get my son from youth club...nearly lost track of the time. It's not easy multi-tasking sometimes. But it makes us stonger and builds our characters.<br /><br />On a slightly different note, apart from enjoying fabulous gigs in the past few weeks, I've had some reflective times. Certain events occurred that forced me to question certain relationships and appreciate others. Life is not all strawberries and cream and fields of daffodils, and it seems that at those particular times we are tested and true characters surface.<br /><br />I don't really want to go into details and single any one situation or person because like I said, these situations make us stronger and I don't want to attack anyone.

<br />WOW dudes/dudettes, mums and dads!,
<br />I really can't believe so much time has passed since I hollered at you. But I'm back!! I actually didn't go anywhere but I was so pre-occupied I didn't have the time to blog...

<br />FINALLY I have finished shooting my video. And boy was that some hard work. Three days of blood, sweat...and maybe a few tears may have escaped...lol. But we had crazy fun and I can't wait til it's all edited so I can show you what I've been working on for the last couple months. I wasn't being unsociable and selfish for no reason! lol
<br />I can't reveal too much as yet but I just wanna say a quick thanks to everyone who contributed to the shoot! Dirty Media London (who directed and produced the vid), Kele Le Roc, Jason Jermaine, J Stories, Selam Yohans who provided my shoes, Jewel Clothing who designed a beautiful dress just for me, the MUAs and Stylists. I will go into more detail in a later post and give you all their details so you can give em a shout!

It's taking longer than I intially hoped, but we're getting there. <br />At the moment we're casting for the the leading man and I can't complain. I've had loads of applicants and I've enjoyed going through the pics! lol<br />We should be making a decision in the next few days, so if you've sent me your pics and CV's, hopefully you will be getting a call from me soon! <br /><br />After recovering from my two weeks of ill health, I went straight back into the studio and have been recording for my 2010 projects and I'm very happy with what we've produced so far. So if you like my EP, you'll LOVE the new stuff! <br /><br />As I've been so busy writing and recording, I've been a hermit but this weekend I had the perfect opportnity to come out of hiding.<br />My sister was nominated in the category of Best Newcomer at the Official Mixtape Awards so we decided to take a trip to Portsmouth to where it was being held!<br />It was a good excuse to doll ourselves up and thanks to Jewel Clothing(www.jewelclothing.co.uk) I felt fabulous in my gorgeous dress :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAdc6B_uw34nAZylsKpvT8fD8OJKSvv4P8GZJhOHQk-FVG896jjG80IahyphenhyphenYKk9v6RFG6Bw06mRQ9sQfg-826PtDanhV9ksvbPAAQtOf9GLZ4QMZ-3kMR65FMsnOGFysSuzymQA_qElNoE/s1600-h/DSC02606.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 188px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAdc6B_uw34nAZylsKpvT8fD8OJKSvv4P8GZJhOHQk-FVG896jjG80IahyphenhyphenYKk9v6RFG6Bw06mRQ9sQfg-826PtDanhV9ksvbPAAQtOf9GLZ4QMZ-3kMR65FMsnOGFysSuzymQA_qElNoE/s400/DSC02606.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427798347724293266" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcKZddVkpzjyLfLsbwOLgBuDpta6CHHuivw4Nk8JzNymVLwykezabVzFRGz5WVUEaqVvm1F31Wfc0Z6_C59lJrvtyit361-y6UgSuCn8cHcFS5mGyI9Py-S3Onjaut6FYmyGZ3iqYb_Bc/s1600-h/DSC02608.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcKZddVkpzjyLfLsbwOLgBuDpta6CHHuivw4Nk8JzNymVLwykezabVzFRGz5WVUEaqVvm1F31Wfc0Z6_C59lJrvtyit361-y6UgSuCn8cHcFS5mGyI9Py-S3Onjaut6FYmyGZ3iqYb_Bc/s400/DSC02608.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427796772132161314" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghnVKuM0OSbsuA6ZLwmhQjpN8uFL2nRtVuzf89fOiPbbZmv4h8_hBAr1nAMuFoZhCtfM_Barf554I7m8AppzUJLihmEJ4tac3ZHOX9pCNUiui7m7w5nC6oovOWd3FG7aM4YBF-6KFusCY/s1600-h/DSC02615.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghnVKuM0OSbsuA6ZLwmhQjpN8uFL2nRtVuzf89fOiPbbZmv4h8_hBAr1nAMuFoZhCtfM_Barf554I7m8AppzUJLihmEJ4tac3ZHOX9pCNUiui7m7w5nC6oovOWd3FG7aM4YBF-6KFusCY/s400/DSC02615.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427797837504063026" /></a><br /><br />There were mixed reviews on the actual event and a lot of people have asked me my opinion...<br />Now, if I thought it was total rubbish, I wouldn't even mention it, BUT as I actually believe it has a lot of potential and is a great concept.<br />I will say though that I do think it lacked organisation which would have made it more enjoyable.<br />BUT it is the first Official Mixtape Awards and we all have to start somewhere.

<br />I was invited to the nomination party for the very first Official Mixtape Awards hosted by Ras Kwame and the lovely Kele Le Roc.
<br />My sis Obenewa was nominated in the best newcomer category, so you can imagine I was pleased as punch. Please vote for her @ www.officialmixtapeawards.co.uk she's amazing! www.myspace.com/obenewa1
<br />
<br />Saturday, I went out with my twinny, Sherona, we share the same bday, but unfortunately she was sick on the day of our party so I had to party with out her :( I didn't stay out too late because I had early morning footie the next day (which was actually cancelled because of the rain) but we had a nice time. It was much calmer than my party, but nevertheless I good night out!

<br />I had a great night out on Sunday @ Room 4 Movement, which was held at the Book club in Shoreditch with my Uprock Crew and Dego from 4hero spinning.
<br />Me and ru baby AKA Rumel had fun catching up and as it was her bday she had a few cocktails which were ridiculously tasty and STRONG!
<br />I tasted one called "Brown Sugar" and it was divine :) Although I remained VERY sober as I was designated driver...boooo!

<br />Yesterday I popped into Lightning fm to see Dj Christoss as I was in South London for a meeting, so I killed two birds with one stone. We had a right old laugh! Thanks for all of you who called in and texted. You asked some really good questions and gave me some great feedback. I'll definitely be passing my music to the Lightning fm crew to play new material so stay tuned! www.lightningfm.co.uk!

<br />As you all know, or <strong>should</strong> know by now, my Ep is out! www.nadinecharles.bandcamp.com, which is all very exciting. But what is <strong>really</strong> exciting for me right now is that I'm going to be doing a video for one of my tracks.
<br />It's my first video so it's quite daunting, but exciting @ the same time. And yeah I realise I've used the word exciting a lot but I'm EXCITED!!
<br />I have great team of people working on it already and many volunteers too. If you feel you have any skills that you feel you could contribute please do not hesitate to contact us at nadinecharlesbiz@gmail.com.
<br />
<br />Okay...well I have a couple meetings, a dinner and a gig to attend and that's just my schedule for today, so I have to dash.
<br />
<br />But I'll catch up with you very soon

It's a beautiful restaurant BUT the food wasn't all that. Good thing my company made up for what the meal lacked. We had a good old chin wag and before we knew it the staff were clearing up, turning on all the lights etc, hinting for us to shove off!<br />We finally got the message and I went home, smiling although my belly was still longing for a decent meal!<br /><br />Food does feature a lot in my life. One of my "loves". If you follow me on twitter you'll know how much I eat and think about food. A slight obsession I think. I even dream about it..."issues" I hear you scream. Oh well, I could be an alcoholic, sexaholic or shopaholic...so being a foodie is not that bad surely!<br /><br />I just wanted to let you know about another article that was written on my EP. I met some guys @ the summit in ATL from "Grown Folks Music". They passed on my EP to a colleague who listened to and reviewed my music.<br /><br />Here is what he had to say,<br /><br />"Nadine Charles - Introducing Miss Charles<br /><br />Upon hearing the EP Introducing Miss Charles from Nadine Charles I loudly exclaimed “El gusto es mio!” fortunately no one was around to laugh at my poor excuse for Spanish. But in all seriousness the pleasure really is all mine. Having the opportunity to listen to this great project from this wonderful artist just adds another notch to my “there really is hope for R&B scorecard”.<br /><br />Seven tracks that run the subject matter gamut from: Love to loss, infatuation to even openly admitting that you’re a Cry Baby…you have to love an artist that is not afraid to be that open and honest. Musically, if you are a fan of great melodies(which I am) and dense beautiful harmonies(guilty as charged over here) you will love Introducing Miss Charles.<br /><br />The production[C Swing and The Truth MoveMENT] and performances on this EP are wonderfully consistent: no throwaways here. The tracks contained herein do not reside in the “beatmaker” category, this is not a dig at any music or producer who operates in that realm, I’m merely stating that this is gimmick free music. They even have the audacity to have musical bridges in these songs that really do take you on a journey. The nerve!<br /><br />If someone would have told me yesterday that I would be this excited about R&B again, I probably would have done what I usually do which is to point to the old dusty box of well worn cassettes and LP’s (yeah I said it) and curmudgeonly say “Now that’s R&B over there”. Fortunately, today I was properly introduced to Miss Charles so now I can point to my computer’s monitor and the dusty old box. Musical recommendation: hit repeat."
