Beat Of LA

25 May 2011

So I'm home from my trip to LA. Jet lag included!!! It was amazing! On the way there I watched the movie 'The Fighter' and it really put me in the right mind frame for the journey I have in front of me now. Whenever I feel like my confidence is dipping, I'm going to remember that movie. I had 2 days rehearsal with the choreographers and dancers before the shoot which was so much fun. It was lovely to be back in a dance studio after such a long time. I learnt some new moves, ragga girl Ginge style, we had such a laugh!! It was a pleasure to be surrounded by so many talented people.

So the morning of the video I woke up with serious butterflies, but as soon as I got to the venue I had my coffee and blasted out Tinie Tempah's album, the highest it would go. The nerves went and the day was all about having fun!! The video director Wendy Morgan was a dream to work with. She is so focused and passionate about her work that I felt immediately comfortable she had my back and was excited to be part of the team. She is just as much as a perfectionist as me so we made a great team. I can't wait to see the edit this week..

I had the day off on Saturday in LA so me and team Ginge had a sex in the city day.. Shopping and laughing till we dropped!

Back to London and my interview with Lady Gaga was on MTV. I had alot of fun filming with her and she played me 3 songs from her new record. She was really lovely and we chatted for a while. I was nervous beforehand because presenting is definitely not for me but chatting to Lady Gaga was something i couldn't turn down. I'm so glad I did it, but i love my day job, so unless MTV meets Eminem and asks me along you won't catch me asking the questions again!

So guys I gotta go, I've got to be up early for a shoot tomorrow..

Catch up next week

Love Nicola x

    just going to take this opportunity to express how amazing its been following your career while you have been a member of the mighty GA....Hannah and Hayley's fan sites have kept fans well informed as well as 'welovepop' its been brill. I know once your solo music hits the airways and def into the charts you will without doubt have billions of new fans and your comments page will be busting so thats why im writing this now. Loads of good wishes over the coming weeks..:)
