Video editing

I've been filming myself working in the studio for some time now and my intention is to use it for a music video. The problem is that it takes SO MUCH TIME to get it right. I have so many recordings, both with and without singing and I'm feeling that I'm starting to lose my patience. If I move one clip, everything else ends up off sync. Gaaah! Maybe I should ask someone with a better patience to do it instead? ;)

Back in business

Hi everyone,

I know that I've been quiet lately, but that's about to change. Since my last update, I've been working on lots of new tracks and I've started working with new DJs and songwriters/producers. New tracks are going to be released this spring! :) I can't give you any details, but I can give you a hint:
-One of the songs is a collab with a French DJ and it will be released on Sexonwax records in April
-Another one of the songs is a collab with another French DJ and will hopefully be released in May.
-One song is my own and I'm in the process of figuring out where and when it will be released. The song itself is finished and mastered, but I'm working on a video and two remixes are being produced by great DJs as I write this. Hopefully, this song will be released in a month or two as well :)
I've got about 10 more tracks to release with different producers and DJs, but the release dates on those are not set yet. This means that you will be hearing a lot more from me! ;)
When I'm not working on tracks that I'm singing myself, I'm, i.e., working with a great songwriter in Stockholm. We're working very well together and have finished several tracks already that we're sending to labels and publishers.

Trying to survive on songwriting is easier said than done. I will make it though! I'm not the type who's giving up! ;)

Update March 2013

Hi everyone,

I must be the worst blogger ever! ;) I'm aware that it takes more than one blog post every three months to be considered a 'blogger'..haha..

Anyway, I've been busy working on lots of different projects with various DJs and I can reveal that I'm about to release many new songs in 2013. The first one, "Free Me", which is a collab between Lee Dagger of Bimbo Jones and me, will be available on iTunes in a couple of weeks. As soon as I know the date, I'll let you know! I hope that you will like it and share it with your friends on Facebook, Twitter etc.

Stay tuned for the release of this new track! :)

There are so many accounts to maintain nowadays. Twitter, Reverbnation, Facebook, Ubetoo, Soundcloud, Instagram, my official website (which really needs a makeover) etc. etc. I should probably try focusing only on a few of them instead of trying to keep them all up to date.

Do you know any good web designers who can make a website look REALLY good? Don't hesitate to contact me if you do! I need a website which is easy to maintain and looks professional. I want it to be designed more like an artist page than it currently is.

Have a nice Sunday!

Love,

Freedah

Nya tag

Nu har jag varit sådär dålig på att blogga igen..Började jobba heltid igen och har haft upp med att hinna med mina vanliga vardagsbestyr tyvärr. Nu har jag dock bett om att få vara arbetsbefriad på fredagar, så att jag har tid till mina musikprojekt.

I fredags satt jag i studion i 11 timmar i sträck..Spräckte ett stort blodkärl i ögat (skitläskigt) på grund av detta tror jag. Som tur är ser man det bara när jag spärrar upp ögonen, vilket jag ska försöka undvika tills det har försvunnit :P

Creepy!


Jag är sjukt beroende av TV-serier. Det är nästan som ett missbruk. Filmer ser jag inte på så mycket längre, eftersom jag får lite separationsångest när de slutar redan efter typ 2 timmar. TV-serier har dock blivit lite som en typ av verklighetsflykt. Något bra har jag fått ut genom att plöja igenom alla serier. Jag lyssnar väldigt mycket på musiken i bakgrunden och tänker på hur den påverkar stämningen i serierna. Detta ger mig ofta inspiration till att skapa musik som jag skulle vilja ha i bakgrunden i serierna. Det var då jag skapade detta. Jag går in i ett transliknande tillstånd där tid och rum försvinner totalt. Jag glömmer att äta, dricka etc. och sitter bara helt i min egen värld tills låten är färdig. Även om det innebär spräckta blodkärl i ögonen :P

Denna låten är tänkt till ungdomsserier. Hoppas ni gillar den! :)

Good news

The future looks even brighter now :)

As I told you in the previous blog post, I wasn't really worried about the future, and it turns out that I was right about not worrying.  I just got a new flexible day job, which suits me perfectly and I'll be able to work from home if I need to.
Surviving solely on music isn't easy, so I'm happy that I found a job that I'll be able to combine with the music and at the same time be challenged intellectually.

This week, one of my collabs is going to promote our new single at the ADE (Amsterdam Dance Event). I'm keeping my fingers crossed! :D

I can see the light

It's so strange. Here I am, without a day job, and soon without a paycheck, but I still don't feel really worried. Should I worry? I know that I can get a job, but I also know that by getting a job I don't like, I'll be miserable and feel that my life has lost its meaning.

I feel free. But probably not for too long. I'll have to get a job eventually to survive until I can make a living on my music. I know that day is coming. The problem is that I don't know when. It's getting closer though..Wait and see!
