Marsha Ambrosius Live @ Dingwalls 27.12.10

Marsha Ambrosius

Picture this ....At the SWV/ Faith Evans Concert @ Indigo 02 and the announcer mentions 'Be sure not to miss the incredible talent of Marsha Ambrosius live @ Dingwalls' I look to my left @ MR CEO the friend i went to the concert with then i look to the right, My boy Jerome we both nod heads and he says 'Simone make the call' In our language that translates to 'WE ARE GOING'

So fast forward .....I get the call from Jerome, Meet me @ Camden for 7.30pm and this is where the magic starts- Now taking into consideration i had been up since 6am and helped one of my bestie deliver her beautiful son 'Kstar' into the world, on the other side of London...I was a little worse for wear, still overwhelmed from witnessing the birth of my godson and TIRED due to the Christmas celebrations. Anyway I'm digressing again.....

OK Now in Dingwalls and they had some opening acts now I can only remember a lady who goes by the name of Byowah (Sorry if spelt wrong) she is an new emerging talent from London who has a Teedra Moses/ Indie Aerie vibe, playing on her acoustic guitar whilst singing was lovely. Byowah captivated the audience and was a lovely start to the show.

NOW comes to the stage looking slim and trim compared to the last mental image i had of her, Marsha Ambrosius , wearing lace tights, Black shorts and a red satin shirt with black blazer- Hair in a curly Afro side part kinda style with her eyes radiating all that she is.....A Musical blessing

I must say my friend Tony Touch head of Avant Garde dance company, His partner surprised him as he is possibly Marsha's biggest friend so the saddo that he is decided to audio recording the whole show on his Iphone. I am now awaiting a dance piece to the said recording as he did for Maxwell's woman's worth a few years ago- which is my fave song!!! I know he will bring the music alive with sensual movements. Touch if u need a dance partner you know where i be! (I'M SERIOUS TOO)

I was blown away by her performance of 'Butterflies' which she penned for the one and only Michael Jackson to name a few that this talent has worked with. As the show progressed, Marsha took us on a journey and all I could envisage was what i was planning on doing *Covers eyes* But its true her music can only be described as 'Orgasmic'. her vocal range and ability is phenomenal, Close your eyes and You can feel the velvet textures of her pitch, the falling rose petals dropping on your navel in her rhythm, The warm pouring of chocolate on your back with her sultry tempo, the smell of love as she caresses your inner soul with her Lyrics. NOW SNAP OUT OF IT! Yeah that feeling

The intimate setting of Dingwalls allowed the audience to connect with Marsha as she played us snippets of her highly anticipated album 'Late Nights, Early Mornings' which is due for release February 2011. This includes a cover of a Teena Marie song which is sensational to say the least.

All I can say is that it was more like a listening party rather than a concert- My only criticism was i would have appreciated if she did a few more songs of her mix tape which I love.


Overall it was a nice intimate performance and this female simply takes my breath away, I look forward to hearing her new album and if you want to hear the recording of her show please click link below:

This video is amazing, Marsha looks so epic, The eyelashes and big hair add drama but the presence of the song is felt- The video takes a twist which i really didnt expect- It evoked a few feelings in my heart as Marshas music takes you on a journey. The ending messaging is significant in more ways than one!

POWERFUL VIDEO- ON that note i have 2 wipe away my tears and just be thankful!

That's all from me, for now


Happy New Year to you all, May you be blessed with the path to do as you will!

Money, Cash, Now

Swift-ly & Miss rae

So the month of November has been busy, busy for me- Video's , Photoshoots, Campaigns, Events but its nice to say the final products have arrived.

A few weeks ago I got asked to work with the Future History on there latest mini film project- When I agreed I thought it would just be to work my magic as usual, well after working with the guys on there  'Funky Town' video which was filmed on a party bus, I knew i was in for a treat and anything is possible. I must say i had so much fun on this shoot. Swiftly and Bluesy are such gentleman and a dream to work with! Oh yeah thanks to Colours in Peckham for allowing me to spend Swift-ly's £5k in there shop on CLOTHES & More CLOTHES

If your in the Industry you will be aware that sometimes things don't go according to plan and its important for all to help where they can! In  saying  that you will see I made an appearance in this video.....See if you can spot me!




Check out Funky Town.......See if you can spot me again

Fe-Nix Redlight Video is here!

 Whoop Whoop im so excited to see my work on the screen! The girls were such a pleasure to work with!




Let me know what you think?

Fe-Nix Redlight Behind the scenes

Monday 8th November My services were required to style the sexy Girl group  Fe-Nix ladies for there new music video featuring Lead man Lee Ryan.


The song is so catchy and the girls wanted a Sin City theme so i had to get into full creativity mode and all I have to say is we had so much fun. The treatment meant each girl had to have 2 looks

1. Sincity
2. Casual 

Lee Ryan was playin the lead male role so we needed him to be sexy and sleek but slightly adventurous. We chose to have fun and bring some theatrics to the charcater and give him a pirates eye patch and scar - this signified the danger behind him and the dream like world of playing a character rather than being the heart throb that he is so used to being.


As the shoot continued it came to a point where my styling skills took on new challenges. We had to make a bedroom scene out of the props within the studio......Yeah Nothing, after a few calls and the help of my Styling assistant Sacha and Boneshia we made the following fit for a king.....

Tinie Tempah, I like to call him......

Mr Gold Dust aka Tinie Tempah - Is there nothing this young man can't not do without it turning to GOLD or Platinum like his debut album Disc-overy! He has hit us again with another hit! This song is called Invincible and it features the sexy Kelly Rowland. The video is a reflection of his 2010 success and the journey.

The Sequin blazer is perfect show stopping piece as he is well deserved of attracting sparking attention and such a humble gentleman. I salute this young man and hope that other artist take heed on all that he is doing.
