Music is such a universal language that brings people all of different races, ages and backgrounds together\u2026it’s amazing that you can be in a venue of 40,000 people or 2,000 people and everyone has their own story of why they’re there.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I was so blessed to be a part of Jay Kamiraz’s (Mr Fabulous on BBC One’s ‘All Together Now’<\/a>) BBC Three documentary, which aired earlier this week, but we filmed last year about his troubles and how he overcame them with his passion for music and it got me thinking\u2026I was so blessed a few years ago that I got to see every show I wanted at no expense and I’ve been blessed to see some of my favourite artists live around the world.. I’ve seen Britney, Mariah, Lana, Kelly Clarkson & Miley Cyrus live and then I can also say artists like Sia in Budapest, Julia Michaels in Liverpool, Meghan Trainor\u2026and many many more but I also got the opportunity to see artists who don’t impact popular charts as much as they used to – Michelle Branch, JoJo, Vanessa Carlton and now I can add Katharine McPhee to the list.<\/p>\n

I was blessed to have seen Katharine perform in ‘Waitress<\/a>‘ two weeks ago in the West End, and this Thursday evening, I was blessed to have met her, had my photo taken with her and had an ever such brief conversation\u2026I mean, I was drunk and the conversation was me listing every song of hers at her\u2026but it got her attention and she even commented on my photo. I just think about that boy in Devon in 2007 who stuck on her debut album for the first time\u2026if I could go back and tell him these things\u2026I don’t know how he would react.<\/p>\n

My mom once told me via her crystals that I would meet Britney in a professional environment. I would be wearing a suit. My mom isn’t psychic and this depended purely on the gravitational pull of her crystals\u2026but you hope to live another day.<\/p>\n

With that being said; I’ve had a banging soundtrack to help me through this week.<\/p>\n

Mariah Carey – ‘A No No’<\/strong><\/p>\n
