I Did It Myself (Video)

I guess I've been a D.I.Y artists for a long time. Instead of looking at it as a bad thing, I decided to just run with it. You saw the 'trailer' that I put up, now here's the music video.

I shot it on a Saturday afternoon a few months ago. There was drama (boo hoo). Now here it is. I really do like what Das Kapital did with this remix. And I'm proud of Ms Marcee for shooting this on a BlackaBerry (9900). Sometimes when you don't have a million Rand you have to improvise.



Enjoy!

D.I.Y Porcelain

Do. It. Yourself

I've been quiet for a while because I've been writing (songs), reading this month's books (3 of them) and living. I've also been trying to figure out how to make this album release as painless as possible. 3 months ago I shot a music video for the Das Kapital remix of 'Today is the Day'. I kept making promises to upload it but... Nothing happened. Well here is a video explaining my woes.




What's the point of doing this is if I can't have fun? I honestly got so caught up in what wasn't being done, that I forgot that I can ALWAYS DO something about my situation.

Album Update

• I think I'm comfortable with releasing the album after Winter. There is still so much to do in terms of promo, so I'm giving myself the next 3 months to sort that and the track listing in order
• I am currently working on 2 music videos (dont have enough time to explain, but I will in the next few days)
• I STILL have a music video that is being played on TV and if you haven't see it, check it out here:

And the Das Kapital remix is below:

Coming Soon

Music video coming soon. Saw a screen grab of what it looks like (its in post right now). I was so bloody excited. SO bloody excited. I will keep you posted ;)

Say whaaaat?

I scare myself

Its been a while since I posted on The Journey. My apologies, family stuff got in the way and being part of a 2 woman label means work is definitely affected. I'm back and ready to share.

Last year I decided that it was important to do something that scares me everyday. I lived a life ruled by fear and that seemed like the only way to learn to live with fear. I don't think fear ever goes away, you just need to learn to not let it run your life.So everyday I do at least one scary thing. I found that I'm actually getting tougher by scaring myself everyday ha ha ha.

Anyway... I am working on something big-ish for the album and it needs to be completed in 16 days. By now you know that I am very ambitious and that I like to traumatise myself with big scary tasks. This is one of them. I can't say now what it is, because there are other people involved and I don't wanna take way the 'SURPRISE' moment.

So I may be quiet-ER than usual for the next 16 days. 2 woman label work has just gotten EXTRA intense. I need to get this done and then I can announce my other BEEG surprise. So many exciting things coming up, Yaaaaayyy!!

Later Days. Porcelain. Out.

DAS KAPITAL is FIYAH!!

It's here folks. Go ahead and have a listen and then listen again and then pour yourself a drink and dance to it. The Das Kapital remix of 'Today is the Day'. I LOVE it :)

Its not a coincidence

You may or may not know this, but my upcoming album is called Invincible Summer. I got the title from an Albert Camus quote. It has taken almost 2 years to make and along the way I felt like quitting. But love for music kept me going.

Over the past 3 months it has started feeling like it is the right time. Everything is coming together nicely and it doesn't feel like such a struggle anymore.A few days ago Today is The Day was featured on Clever Bird Banter, it was the first blog to put the video up. Ever since then I have been visiting the blog and guess what I should find there today:

First TV performance

Yesterday I was on Expresso, this was my first TV interview and performance. I couldn't sleep properly the night before (nerves). We had to wake up super early because the show starts at 05:30. Call time was actually at 04:45... WHAT?! Yes.

I performed Butterflies and Today Is The Day. Below is me performing Butterflies.
