Soundcloud Success

This evening, I've noticed a steady increase on my Soundcloud plays and I'm actually quite impressed with how many plays I'm now getting per week. This weeks total 27. It may not sound like a lot at all but, the fact is that I have hardly visited the site or even been all that active in the last week. I have used Soundcloud for about 3 years now so it is nice to see some hard work paying off.

I am honored to have 349 followers and I am so happy that I recently managed to bypass 2000 plays overall leaving my current total plays to 2324 plays. I really am highly impressed and I am so thankful for all of the support I receive. Music is the career that I dream to follow but, in my current situation I can't quite see it though at the moment.

If you missed my announcement earlier on, keep you ears out for my upcoming EP titled "Alone" (DISCLAIMER: May not be the final title depending on what other cool, relevant names I can come up with).

Thank you all, so much!

Here's To A New Start

It's been a busy two weeks at the ESSO Petrol Station on Nottingham Road, Ilkeston for my training, the last couple of days in particular. Today, I have the day off so I will be making he most of it and going to the cinema to see "How To Train Your Dragon 2" with a good friend. Tomorrow, I start my new job properly as I will no longer be on training. My first paid shift is a night shift that technically doesn't start till Tuesday morning but, hey it's all a part of the fun. I will most  likely have trouble getting a healthy amount of rest beforehand but, as long as I don't fall asleep on the job (which I doubt) everything will be fine.

In other news, I've been thinking more and more about taking myself seriously as a solo artist. I hardly have anytime for a full band at the moment and it is already proving difficult to organize any musical get together. I already have a good albums worth of songs that I have written myself, it's just getting around to actually recording them all. Some have been heard before like, Innocent Romance but not many more. At the moment, I have two others recorded that are still unhead/unpublished to the general public. I plan to release them with a couple more tracks as an EP called "Alone". A slightly sinister name but, it sums up a lot of things recently, with the band spiting, song themes and with my new job how it feels with my new kind of social life. Without a doubt, I still have friends and the title may change but, that is the best I can come up with for now.

I will try to post make some artwork for this album soon, I may take my camera out with me today to try to give myself some ideas. It's been a while since I've been out to play with my camera and I've missed the creative freedom dearly. Yes, I will take my little Nikon with me today. I might need a canoe....
