You guys are very welcome to attend the OIAM Grand Finale performance on Friday, 29th of Feb. All the Top 12 will be performing that night including… of course… yours truly… hehehe. Check out my Facebook Invite or email izoiam@mac.com for more info. (Honestly I don’t know what song I will be performing. Personally I want to perform Vanishing or my own song? Only if they let me :-p)

Yeah… there were compatibility issues regarding software platforms as well in the first place because Adam (My music arranger/ collaborator in Sydney who also owns a studio called ADM Studios) uses Logic 8, whereas TwoAM is using Logic 7, but all were solved within a day, thank god for that. Both Adam & I were also very particular about recording the song in 24 bit (Industry standard) not 16... just technical stuff we wanted to be sure of. Yeah you guys can say I am anal about sound quality… LOL… since I studied media as well. Che’nelle did tell me when I was still in OIAM (All of the Top 9 then were lucky enough to have dinner with her) that she uses both Logic and Pro Tools. I am so used to Pro Tools while I was still in uni but I still need to learn Logic. I had the whole of my project mapped out on Garageband (A simple but really useful music software available on every Apple computer), which includes me arranging my own vocal work. I just want to see roughly how would my track sound like, its potential and what other things I can do with it in terms of music & vocal arrangement. I had fun at the studio yesterday layering up my vocals and doing all the fun harmonies. Still, there’s a lot to be done.


My next session at TwoAM will be next Monday, on the 18th at 7PM & hopefully the track will be done by then. I can’t wait to get back into working on it, before everything loses its momentum. Well… I hope that it’s all “Gonna Be Alright”.
P/s: I would like to thank my dear friend, Emily for showing me the ropes on how PR could really work (Press kits, media luncheon, article evaluation, online presence… bla bla), Intan Dato’ Khalid (My graphic designer/motion graphic artist), Arene (Who I turn to/ discuss with for wardrobe style ideas), Rubia Braun (Who is now currently in Far North Queensland & is writing songs for me to sing for her upcoming short film which will be released in India this year called “The Successor”), Pian, Khalil Ariff (For filming me during my recording sessions for 'The Making' CD) and last but not least my sister of course! (Who manages me for the last 2 months B4 she leaves for New Zealand early March… Find me a new manager dammit! Sesiapa nak jadi my manager for free? or for a karipap? LOL).
