After few incredible weeks recording under the LA sun, I’m back in the UK and straight back into the creative flow. This time, the music has brought me to London, and not just for any session!
I came here to write and record a feature for my album with the one and only Boy George.
It’s funny thinking back to the first time we met in LA, sitting there sharing ideas, influences and possibilities for where the music could go. Even now, actually being here and bringing those conversations to life still feels a little surreal.
Like most people, you’ve heard the music of Culture Club all your life. It’s been on the radio, in films, and drifting through the background of everyday moments for decades. The sound is instantly recognisable and somehow I find myself in the studio with Boy George and Roy Hay, creating a song that’s going to be on my debut album!
The sessions themselves have been something special. I’ve also been working alongside Oscar Simons, an Abbey Road alumni whose musical instincts are razor sharp. Collaborating with people who genuinely understand the spirit of what you’re trying to create makes all the difference, not just chasing sounds or trends, but focusing on what truly connects and reflects me an artist.
The trip turned into much more than just studio time, I had the chance to meet with people across the music industry and was even invited to visit the headquarters of BBC, which was a pretty special moment in itself. It’s just the start of my Journey but every now and then I catch myself for a moment and think… how did this become real?
