Greetings from Denmark, and a favor..

Hello people! I am sitting in a beautiful dressing room in the cutest little town in Denmark. Of all the incredibly fashion frenzy cities I’ve been to so far, (Paris, London..) I randomly decided to go on a shopping spree here in Herning. Lol so funny. Got some good stuff tho.

I recently started missing home a little bit so I thought I would write about that a little.. The holidays are coming around and I’m so far away from everyone I usually celebrate with. Last year, me and Jenn threw an amazing Halloween party. It was pretty much epic.. ;) We shopped for days for costumes and finally settled on Queens. A red Queen and a Black Queen, with crowns and Scepters. We hit EVERY costume store from Hollywood to Pasadena looking for those damn Scepters.. but they were soooo worth it.. lolol

This year I will be in Sweden for Halloween.. 

And I know this is random, but after being on the road for a while I’ve learned that you are never too old to miss your mommy. Wow. Mom, if you’re reading this, I LOVE YOU and miss you sooooo much. Can’t wait for Christmas!! 

I also want to take a moment in this post to wish my very dear friend Janelle a Happy Birthday! It was a big one and I feel terrible that I wasn’t there to celebrate with you. I adore you. Thank you for being such a light in my life. I don’t know what I would do without you. When I come back to Utah, I’m kidnapping you and we are gonna catch up on this year and have a proper Bday celebration snoop doggy dog style ;) Love you Nelly…xo

On another note, I’d like to thank everyone who has purchased my single “Christmas Crush”. If you haven't already, there is a link below!

As you can probably tell, the holidays mean a lot to me, and so does this song. I had so much fun recording it and am so proud that its finished and I’m able to share it with everyone this year. I was hoping to get some feedback for the song, so please feel free to leave a comment on iTunes for me!

Thanks again to everyone who reads this silly little blog of mine and continues to support me. There are many good things in the works, so stay tuned in! 

Xoxo

What I did on my Tour break..

We recently had some time off from the LOUD Tour. 3 weeks to be exact, and during that time, I recorded a few Christmas songs! lol It was awesome! For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to make my own Holiday record. Christmas is my FAVORITE holiday and I'm obsessed with the season's music :)


As soon as I found out I had that time off, I booked myself into the studio and seriously didn't leave except to pack for the rest of the year, the day before my flight! (which was super stressful, won't be doing that again..lol)


I was able to co-write a couple of songs along with some incredible songwriters, Sven Martin, Lene Dissing and Todd Wright.
It was great to be surrounded my such talented people and have them all be as excited as I am about Christmas! :)


The Single is called "Christmas Crush" and it is available now on iTunes
Check it out and let me be the first to wish you a Merry Christmas! :)

LAND OF POTTER..

Long time no see! I know I know, I suck...
I am so new to touring that I've been struggling to manage my time on the road. We are eight shows in and I think maybe I've got the hang of it now.?.? We'll see.
In Glasgow today but just came from Manchester. We had a day off there and it was lovely! We walked around in the rain and experienced the outdoor food festivals. Our hotel was great, besides the spa, where the skin was properly waxed off my eyebrow :( ouch!! Think I'll stick to tweezing from now on..
I also spotted the boys from Naughty by Nature!! omg whatta throwback :) They were performing right across the street from our hotel and we got to chill with them for a bit before they left. Nicest guys ever! I'm totally down with OPP!! hahaha


I'm having a blast! Learning a lot and still can't believe that I get to perform for thousands of people every night. Complete Dream Come True.


I'll update soon!

European Festivals 2011!

Last week, we spent 10 days in Europe doing a music festival run. It was my first time going to a festival ever so I was super excited. And to be there as a performer was even more amazing!

We started off in Helsinki, Finland at the Beach Festival. It was so cool to see the beach from the stage, however, it was a bit cold and I was shocked to see people in the water during the show. omg.
The next day we flew to Bergen, Norway. OK most beautiful place I've ever been!! I had no idea what to expect because I never thought I would ever end up there, but I am hoping I get a chance to go back there someday :)

A few of us walked up this gigantic mountain and got the best view (photos below) We performed two nights in Bergen and I was happy for the extra day there. Santigold was our opening act, I love her music!

Our next stop was Birmingham for the first day of V Festival!!! Seriously can't explain how much fun I had there. Not only were we opening up for the incredible Eminem, but there were also a couple of my favorite bands performing on site, I hopped in a shuttle and was able to catch some awesome shows like HURTS (look em up!)  from the UK. Seriously Love Them. :)

During the 2nd V Fest show in Chelmsford, we performed for what seemed like Billions of people. At one point I look out into the crowd and couldn't see where the people ended. It was unreal, I got chills :) CHECK OUT THE CHEERS VIDEO BELOW and you'll see what I mean. Freaking amazing crowd!
Back in LA now and preparing for Rih's European tour... YAY!
Stay tuned :)
xo

Mom and Dad meet Rih! :)

I was fortunate enough to have most of my sweet family come to see the show last week in Anaheim. I was escorting 14 Kehl's around backstage! it was madness... lol
My parents had seats on the front row! and the rest of my fam was split up on either side of the stage. So I was completely surrounded by them! It was amazing to look out into that crowd and see them. I really needed that and I'm so thankful they were all able to make the trip to come support me.


As always, I am so freaking blessed :)


Life on the road is crazy! I mostly see the inside of the tour bus ;) but on my days off I try to explore and see the cities. Best city I've been so far is Vancouver, I think its because I ate the best meal of my life there, at the Italian Kitchen. Seriously go there if you get the chance and order the Spaghetti with spicy kobe meatballs! YUMMMMMMY!

It was also really fun just walking around there and everything was really close. Great times!


The US leg of this tour is almost over :( It went by so fast, I can't believe it! But I am looking forward to Europe.. yeeeeeaaaaahhh baby!
