Talk to yourself more.

I talk to myself everyday. While I talk to myself I look at myself in mirror and ask myself how it's going. Normally when people see other people talking to themselves they think they are crazy, or maybe they're angry or annoyed. It's never for a good reason is it? In fact the crazy person is the person that thinks it's crazy to talk to yourself. If you happen to think that then maybe the reason why it feels weird for you is because you don't do it enough? Maybe you should try it more? Talking to yourself is healthy. You can check in (and not on Facebook) to see how it's going. You can ask yourself honest questions and normally get an honest answer. However, there are the times yo think you're being honest with yourself but in fact you are making excuses so while you do this look in the mirror and look right into your eyes. If you happen to look away when you ask yourself a question then you're probably lying. If you happen to keep the stare then you're probably telling the truth. You will know. Be honest with yourself, why not? There's no one around, and you really already know the truth. You will find that your life will start to change. Only good people will surround you. You will feel more empowerment. So give gratitude, to yourself and others. See how things are going. Appreciate more in your life. Talk to yourself about integrity. About what you mean in this life. What are you doing here? Do you have a passion? :)

Juggling (a lot of projects) January 2012

OH NO It's 2012 the last year of the world EVERYBODY GET UP RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!

Where shall we run?

We can't really go anywhere can we? Unless someone has a spaceship we can all get into and fly away... anyone? Spaceship?? If you do please email back I would like to reserve a spot. I will provide entertainment for the ride. Now all we need is some food.... not that space stuff either. Yuk.

Now that I've got over that I would like to wish ALL of you WONDERFUL people a very Happy New Year!

This is dedicated to all those Fanzy Winners and supporters of the new album = Thank you... more about you down the page :)

I hope your year has started out wonderful and you're feeling in the flow of life. Calm. Relaxed. I know I can feel like I'm totally out of the flow sometimes. Well, OK, most of the time. Yes, yes I get that feeling quite a lot. It's one of the reasons why I started writing music in fact. When I feel out of the flow I feel out of life. I've battled with that ever since school. BUT, I can tell you... going AGAINST the flow is also good sometimes. Being in the flow of the world and watching everyone follow each other like worker ants is a very frustrating experience too. Recently, I co-wrote a song called "Drifting Away" with my good friend Belva Haney. That song is about that exact subject; when you're drifting away into no mans land wondering about life, what it all means and whether you're doing the right thing... the chorus is a chorus to the singer/listener, the person going through this period of anxiety or frustration. It recognizes the pain but the melody eases that pain through the music.
Here is the original (crazy live recording we did on U Stream) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyIjTt2cxcY and here is a NEW recording (not mixed or mastered) but an almost finished idea I created with DJ Micah B for a new event starting on January 22nd called ElectroLive in association with my event Club Inspire U https://www.facebook.com/pages/Club-Inspire-U/314295366125 You can hear it here on Micah B's SoundCloud page: http://soundcloud.com/micahb/drifting-away and you can come and support us at the new event on the 22nd by going to the events page and coming down for some fun! Here: https://www.facebook.com/events/255059274555809 we would LOVE to see you!!

Another reason why sometimes I drift away into another world is because of some of the things I went through when I was at school. Bullying. I was bullied at school for almost 4 years, tormented. I kept is so quiet because I was embarrassed at the reaction from friends and family. That I wasn't tough enough, that maybe what they were calling me was true. That I was fat. I was ugly because I looked like I had spade teeth and I was a slow grower. After a number of years walking home from school was so painful for me that I decided to try to end it all. I had no idea what I was doing (luckily) it was more of a shout out for help to everyone, but I kept that to myself too. The second time I tried was too close for me and I scared myself. Something magical happened. I started to write about it.... the rest is history. Here is the video I created to help and support anyone going through bullying or anything that makes them feel like they don't have a place in this world. You do and you are valid. We're all in the same boat. We've just got to love each other more. Here it is: http://youtu.be/yoODv_xYB1s please share or comment because these videos really do help!

2011 LA Music Awards WINNER

I'm very pleased to announce that I am now a 5 time Los Angeles Music Awards winner with the 5th award this year for Best Dance Electronic Artist!! The award is shared with Tmac, my new album producer for "Dawn Of Momentum". I'm honored to receive this award this year and like every other year I've been a recipient. This year was extra special because of the breakaway new sounding album "Dawn of Momentum" which has evolved my Singer/Songwriter/Rock sound into Electro Pop. The independent awards show attracted over 150 media outlets this year including FOX News Channel 11, E News, LA Times, KTLA and many many more. I was fortunate enough to meet one of my producing heroes Keith Olsen and chat with him along with Booboo Stewert from Twilight, Alex Al - bass player to Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Christina Aguilera and more.. it was a very special night.

I walked the Red Carpet with the lovely Mama G of Punked Out Polos. The Emmy Award winning Producer is debuting her new line of t-shirts where Mama G has a very clear creative mission, "If a symbol of smug entitlement, soulless superficiality and unrelenting conformity can be transformed into a raw, honest, authentic object of beauty, then maybe it's true that art can save the world"

I was honored to wear number 9 "Inspirateur" on the red carpet.

Lovely.

Firstly, I would like to say CONGRATULATIONS to Gemma Belloni and Chloe Needham for winning a limited edition 'The Kube' mp3 Player (with 2 of my songs pre loaded) and Thank you to Ashley Needham for sending a picture of himself wearing it :) I guess Mum was too shy huh?

Love the wallpaper. I also like that the mp3 player is Arsenal colours. I bet you loved that Ashley.

This months current competition on my Facebook Page is for for a custom made tee by me (https://www.facebook.com/krissearleofficial) so go to the page and "like" it, if you already haven't and sign up to the Fanrank Top Fans App and get posting some Tweets and Facebook messages to work your way up the score board. It's pretty fun. The current top score holder is Janet Owen. It looks like she's going to grab one of these.

I met Zim at SF Music Tech and he heard potential in my new album, which you can sample here (http://soundcloud.com/krissearle) so we're currently putting together distribution and marketing for the first soft launch of the new sound and album. The single will be "Falling For Your Light" also known as FFYL and it will be launched before Christmas. In the new year the album will be launched and the tour will begin. You can sample a taster of FFYL here and ONLY here (http://www.reverbnation.com/krissearle) oh and the lyrics are here too :)
