Before remaking this beat i recorded a draft version of me rapping over it and then got onto remaking it with the help of my producer friend.

Why i chose this beat?

I wanted to try a hip hop genre as I've never really explored it before for myself and i looked up type beats by females that i look up to for their lyricism and thought it would be nice to experiment with these types of instrumentation's. then the idea of vimming came and i allowed the lyrics to flow as i began writing and rapping.

We do jam sessions every Monday in the studio and to make things easier, i always record or live record our jam sessions.

so during our song writing sessions i would listen over to the voice recordings and work with what i had, write and develop them so when it came to band rehearsls these are the songs that i practiced and feel would be great for the show with more rehearsals

i made a facebook page for pinnacle but i feel as though i havent been paying muc attention to it lately.

I received some advice from several artist and performers on how to boost my confidence and own the stage such as Ms banks, Kadiata, Record heads, TTP alongside some advice on event Management from a popular Instagrammer called 'MrIamNext' who has hosted many events such as koi leray, Megan thee stallion etc...

Bringing Stage Presence & Boosting Confidence

# data[].attributes.body
To bring some energetic stage presence i started listening to some sassy energetic music that would bring out the confident flow that I've always wanted.

Listening to some City Girls, Rico Nasty, Megan Thee Stallion, Remy Ma, Lil Kim, female american hip hop artists that i saw as confident

luckily for me, Rico nasty came to London so i managed to see her Live at XOYO, and i thought it was a great idea to go as i have also discovered a great potential venue we could perform at as I've never been there before.

here is the original draft version of vimming, that i first wrote.

i don't think over the weeks i have changed much other than my final release.

what does vimming mean?
vimming means energetic, or as we like to say in slang, 'Gassed' or 'Hyped up',so the lyrics 'got your man vimming' means I've got your man gassed.

the moral of the song is the guy has two ladies already, but he also wants me but he cannot have his cake and eat it too, i'm worth a lot and so are my girls so he shouldn't be thinking about me if he hasn't got what i want (money).

Mary n Frens is a talk show event hosted by my friend Mary and for the one year anniversary she has asked me to perform my set, which is the two songs Vimming and Backwards. this event will be showcasing on the 22nd of June which is good as its close to the date of the showcase which is on the 1st of July giving me time to promote it.

# data[].attributes.body
Vimming is quite upbeat and i would class this genre as hip hop type of song based on the BPM, and the instrumentation, which includes a lot of chords in the minor key scale which is a feature in all songs that are classed as hip hop tend to have.

I think working on this song was a bright choice as it contrasts a lot to the backwards song and shows a completely different side to me.

# data[].attributes.body
what is Backwards is quite slow with a lot of natural instrumentation giving it a slow feel, however the vocals and the dynamics remain the same throughout the song. there is no bridge at the song remains at one steady BPM through and through.

General public, people who enjoy pop and RnB music
and people who like to listen to these two artists.

Sometimes they try to get a direct audience in 3 different ways.

Genre

Topic

Age

the kind of audience I'm trying to reach is based on topic, people who like heart break songs, people who relate to what I'm writing.

# data[].attributes.body
these are images of my backwards lyrics.

Meaning behind the lyrics are simply, how can you love me if you cant even love yourself?

it took me half an hour to write the song however for a couple of weeks we have been working on the song as i feel like its missing some things and we have also been preoccupied with shows and other songs.

This is the final version of vimming, from what started as me rapping over a YouTube instrumental we have now remade and recorded and mixed and mastered. it has been released on all platforms and i will be performing it tonight at connect fest.

the person who does all the ad-libs is my friend who also creates music and has done a couple of songs with me, Kane who goes by the name KaneZeroFive.

the mix and master and remake of the instrumentation was done by my friend sultan who also runs a label called involved sound.

This song first started as a freestyle and then i took my time to perfect the lyrics.

how i came about this song, i was chilling in studio and Lucas (the studio owner) said he made someting the night before and showed me the beat.I really liked it so i hopped into the booth to see what words and lyrics would flow from me.

i like that this song is slow and the guitar solo within the song is what has made me excited to work on it.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been booked for a couple of gigs leading up to the show, which gives me a chance to promote our final performance to the new audience.

Connect fest was the first show that i performed both songs Vimming which is released on all platforms and Backwards which is something that requires further perfection and mixing and mastering.

Not only is it the first showcase of the songs but i am showcasing it the same day as the release.

# data[].attributes.body
with not much information and not many performances or gigs leading up to the event i find it hard to add to the website, i feel like its too much work and takes a lot of my rehearsal time alongside my studio time. So i will take a break from the website whilst i work on other things.

# data[].attributes.body
Pirate studios is also another place that i go to in order to practise my songs and rehearse and warm up my vocals.

Varying prices and rooms this is a place that i occasionally rent out in Notting Hill.

I have been working on my songs privately in studio everyday of the week

the studio being at 101a Northchurch Road,https://www.bing.com/maps?q=101+north+church+road&FORM=HDRSC4

Reasons for choosing this studio is based off of my research and advice from my friends, alongside it being very close to home so no money is wasted on public transport. I met the studio owner who is also a very good guitarist at the Troy Bar in Old Street, we had a couple of jams and enjoyed working with each other. with his help we came up with the song backwards.

# data[].attributes.body
Tuesday: there was a disagreement yet again over the name of the event however the vote was out spoken by the majority therefore we are keeping the name as pinnacle which was made by Daniel, meaning the highest peak, being at our highest point of both our craft and our talent and all other aspects.

Thursday: myself and Yoanna have set up a go fund me, as we have realised our budget is not enough to hire a venue. we have had responses from venues such as the 100, underworld, each with information such as venue availability and prices and all range roughly around £600 and above.

# data[].attributes.body
Monday: writing sessions for those who haven't written their songs yet, or are working on originals from scratch.

Tuesday: class jam sessions.

Thursday: mostly working on our project proposal and other units.

# data[].attributes.body
Monday: class group discussion on venues, name, weekly tasks being handed alongside rehearsals and songwriting taking place.

Tuesday: rehearsals taken place in the studio on the first floor. development of songs during rehearsal. we rehearsed 2 potential songs that i have written, one i named 'I Don't Need You' which i quite like as it has hints of rock within it and 'I Don't Really Know'which i also like as i express my emotions through my lyrics, speaking about my perception of the future hence the name.

Wednesday: the class don't like the name pukka line and have now changed their minds, re doing social media pages along with concept and putting down website and restarting new one. they are now discussing in the group chat that we have called Level 3 music, about the name of the event alongside other information such as finding a venue, updates in all other activities. including the google document made by Isabelita where we list and edit notes and activities as a class. https://docs.google.com/document/d/10FJ9vjdQ8LjuBa6WNUscc7pYhVlb-bLsEFNm8FCIwME/mobilebasic

Thursday: new website almost in place, editing features and phone use design. creating accounts for social media and promotion pages.

Friday: no activiy.

# data[].attributes.body
Monday: sharing ideas & giving out tasks, i was given the task of promotion via social media and website. began working on the website later on that evening. deciding job roles was a little difficult as some people were already doing things for the production and there were also not enough job roles for people before the production so to solve this problem we have placed them as roadies, equipment listings etc...

Tuesday: main page of website is done, songs being written and practised in the studio, spoke to production students to do a collaboration for our final project.

Thursday: website is ready but not running as we haven't sorted out what date we will be performing, as well as the venue.

# data[].attributes.body
Monday: came up with the name pukka line during class brainstorming.
rehearsals after lunch.

(15th) Tuesday: brainstorming and jamming to create our own original pieces via ideas from YouTube instrumentals and exploring styles and genres.

(17th) Thursday: practised first song, originated from jam sessions and written into a real song. Target for following week: start building the website, social media pages and continue writing and developing the structure of your songs.

I was thinking to use this voice recording and develop it into a song along with some of the jam session audio files on my phone that we have done at school.
