The more time I spend in Birmingham with my newly establish extended family, the more I am humbled and appreciate the fact that I have been lucky enough to stumble into a situation that seems perfect. We have the equipment, the ambition, the expertise and the respect to push our Musical talents to the limit and really aim to give the public a taste of something new and exciting.Working with 24XII is like going to a friends house, doing all your homework and then spending the next 8 hours playing computer games. We put in so much hard work its unreal, but its always followed by the laughter and silliness I think all adults need in their lives to remind us that we don't always have to be THAT serious. Life is too short.
Since signing to my Independent Label, GXR, I have developed friendships with my label mates as well as quite a close bond with my Manager. He is intelligent, ambitious, hard working and just... Fun to be around. Never once have I seen him flinch at the sight of an obstacle, no matter how difficult it initially seems to be to overcome. Its inspiring and reassuring. It motivates me and those around him to continue pushing.
We shot my first EVER official Music video in my time their and I have to say, the experience was amazing. Everything I could have asked for and more. I always wondered, apprehensively, how I would react having to perform in front of an entire camera crew with, steaming hot lights and lenses shoved in my face. Would I be ok? Would I shrivel up into a ball of insecurity and self consciousness? Or would I relish the attention, the opportunity to perform and impress? Turns out I loved it! Thats one less anxiety out of the way! I know I can perform and work the camera, I cant wait to get better and better at it. We shot the entire video in one of our several illustrious live rooms in studio and the band went real crazy with the vibe live instruments and an audience (Only the camera crew but... An audience nonetheless lol) bring into affect. Can not wait until the next one!
24XII have began working with artist from all over the UK and have even had people fly over from America specifically to work with them, which in itself is a testament to the teams value as a Music Production company. As a signed 'Song Writer' and 'Artist Development Mentor' its an honour to experience the growth and play a major part in it.
Things will continue to get better and better. I know this to be a fact. Nothing gets in the way of sheer hard work, determination, talent and ambition. Nothing.
