So I was sitting in class this morning on my Teacher Training Course, secretly checking my Facebook when I got a message from Mart-Marie Schoeman at New Tunes asking me to call her. I don't know if you guys are familiar with Mart-Marie but she is Miss Thang when it comes to the music scene. I immediately asked if I could go to the bathroom so I could call my manager (also my wife aka DJ Technolicious). Trying to keep my voice down, cause it really echoed in there I asked her to call Mart-Marie on my behalf. For those of you who don't know, I've entered 3 songs in the New Tunes songwriting contest and she informed us that my song 'Shadows" would be featured on the MFM 92.6 Detour Show tonight at 7pm. OVER THE MOON!

7PM found me waiting for the phone to ring with not a few butterflies in my stomach. I know some might think its only a local radio station, but I felt like a rock star. Feeling like a rock star is important for my motivation at the moment. I'm still working and studying full time;  don't have as much time as I would like to set aside for my music. I really needed this experience and exposure to keep me on track. 

They asked about my song writing roots and what gets my creative juices flowing, I could have talked about that for hours, but it boils down to Linda Nel's Afrikaans class in Grade 10 and my quest for transformation. After the short interview they played my song and it's difficult to put the experience into words - for a songwriter that's a major problem, LOL!

The interview will be uploaded to www.newtunes.co.za next week so check it out!
