What I’m doing this week
Current mood:  busy

Well hello there.
Look at me all lookin' at you lookin' at me.
This is me in my hotel room in Santa Monica.



I'm in Los Angeles working with the lovely Rick Nowels and the sultry Alesha Dixson on her next album.

I'm not sure what will come of it - you never can tell if songs will make it past the writing stage or if they'll end up on her album - but it's fun so far!
She's a cool person, very stylish and so easy to get along with.

Prior to this I did some writing for a German artist called Raemon with Rick and just last week Justin and I wrote a song for consideration for a Sony artist in the UK.
The point? I guess I'm spending time writing with and for other artists this year.

The plan? To just go wherever the wind takes me this year. No career strategy. No goal. Just do things I don't normally do.
The reason? To exercise my writing gene a bit more. And to distract me so I don't start recording my new album too soon.
The fear? I've already got the title! Yikes!
But I promise - no work on that album for a while. I want to make sure I'm fresh and absolutely DESPERATE to put out a new album.

In the meantime I've got a couple of fun things planned in Australia later this year
and we're frantically trying to finish up the animated DVD so it can be ready for a Dec 1st ship date.
(Lots to do though!)

Roight - I'm off. It's only my second day here and the jet lag is not going away any time soon.

Before I go - have you seen Wall-E ? I thought it was astoundingly poetic.
Loved it.
