Hollywood Here I Come!! Double Nominee HMMA Awards

I feel so lucky to have been nominated twice in the prestigious Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA) – in 2018 for the winning lyrics to my song Stephen Hawking Wants You To and this year (2019) for The Heart You Break The Hardest is Your Own. I was so delighted when I won last year … I truly didn’t expect to and it was the most amazing feeling standing up there in front of all those wonderful worldclass songwriters, producers, musicians and performers AND having to find the right words to accept my award as graciously as I could without falling off the podium. Lol.

The Awards Night will be held in just a few weeks’ time and I’m looking forward to reconnecting with songwriting friends old and new and getting to know LA, that magical City of Light, just a little better. Like all the other nominees, I’ll have my fingers crossed for a win, but honestly it’s the loveliest gift just to have been nominated for such a prestigious and competitive award two years in a row, to be recognised for all the hard work, the endless nights, the passionate dedication to craftsmanship that separates the ordinary from the extraordinary. I love what I do, whether I’m having to move creative mountains to find the right words for a fragment of lyric or catching an entire song like a lucky star in my lap – which does occasionally happen. And no matter how high – or how far into uncharted creative territory – it takes me, I’m the luckiest girl in the world just to be able to say that.

Thank-you HMMA!! And thank-you to everyone for supporting me on this wild songwriting journey of mine. I’m loving every crazy minute.
