Packing my stuff and heading to Los Angeles to fight for my music dream might have been the best decision I ever made. There’s been ups and downs, but I have only shared my happiness and good news with all of you. There’s been a lot of things that I haven’t told you about this whole journey. After my release of “Secret”, everyone called me lucky but It’s not all luck.
October 2013
In October I packed my stuff and travelled to Los Angeles for the first time, my brother Boris went with me and we experienced and learned so much on that trip. We we’re on the other side of the world, we had one month to turn this dream into reality and we fought. I had meetings with producers and labels, I was stoked for it and I was practicing everyday. One of the biggest producers from LA (who happens to be Danish) gave me the chance. When I was in Denmark I sent him some videos of me singing and he liked it. He gave me a date and time. I was supposed to drop by his Studio, sing for him and talk with him. The day before, I got really sick. My throat was killing me, my body was hurting, my head was pounding, I was warm and so emotionally unstable. I got stressed cause I knew that this was the biggest chance I’d ever get, I knew what big artist he is working with and have worked with. I knew he wanted to give me this chance. I was almost drugging my self with medicine, hot chocolate, tea, everything. The night before, I passed out in the bathroom and all I remember is waking up in my brothers arms where he was panicking and trying to lift me, so he could get me in the hotel bed. (I got a bruise, as you can see on the picture above). I was sick as I’ve never been before and I had to cancel the meeting. I was crying all day and I knew I wouldn’t get this chance again… He replied to me that he was going to New York to work with this artist, that is one of the biggest in the whole world and he hoped I got better. When I went home to Denmark I was near an depression, I was so upset and I tried to stay positive. I tried to run a happy blog and not let my mood effect people around me, but deep inside I was so upset. I had all my hopes in this and then I got sick and lost my chance. I got a “one out of a million” chance by this producer in Denmark a while after coming home, but he mailed me when I was laying sick in bed. How ironic? I mailed him back saying I was so happy to get that chance, but that I was sick and I could come and sing with a sore throat, but I wouldn’t be able to give it all I got. He is a really big artist and producer so I had to sign a contract with him saying I couldn’t tell anyone that I’ve met him and I was at his studio, so this day today only my family knows I was there singing for him at his studio. The recordings went ok, but I asked him if I could send him some videos my self, cause I wanted him to hear me clearly when I wasn’t sick. I went to LA a couple of days after I went to LA, I had a lot of electronic problems with filming my self while being in LA and I just decided to trust the chance LA chance, you can read about down below.
January 2014
I decided not to give up so I was looking for producers I could work with and I found one. Stefano Vieni who made all of this happen and fought with me. I found him on twitter and we talked about my musician dream and I was sending him some singing videos. He liked it. We facetimed, talked for months and made a lot of plans. It was almost too good to be true, but it wasn’t.. It was all true. There’s a lot of people in this industry that talks and talks but doesn’t keep their word, but he did. We planned everything, I packed my suitcase again and headed to Los Angeles. He had build up a whole team for me and we worked on Secret. I recorded in Benny Faccone studio with him, Alex Ponce, Dave Donnelly and of course my lovely producer Stefano Vieni. It was my first time in a studio, It was my first time to record a song. I was scary. It was exciting. It was amazing. It was something I’ll never forget. I knew Dave have worked with people like: Aerosmith, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nelly Furtado, George Michaels, KISS, Ashley Tisdale, Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens and so many others. And the other lads had worked with huge people in the industry too, so it was intimidating to sing in front of them, cause they really know about music and I was just this young girl from Denmark with no experience in music besides singing at home. It all worked out and I am so happy today. We are working on my album and also I’m gonna have a meeting with a Danish producer about producing some Danish music in here. The future has travels to Los Angeles and Mexico. All I can say is, stay updated.
