Here’s some little video taken on a mobile device during my “house concert” in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. The concert was in fact held in Haft Vadi Bellydancing studio… thanks to my hosts Dharlene and Sheldon Valeda, as well as Ralph and Miranda Phelan who invited me to come to Kitchener!
This song is a gig favourite where I often get the crowd to sing along… it’s called “Give Thanks”.

After I released my EP Universe for Afternoon Tea in late 2009, I sat down and drew up a list of goals to move my music career forward. It looked something like this:
Following a quite successful run on this year’s Australia’s Got Talent, local five-piece Beside Lights were ready to re-introduce themselves to the Perth scene with an intimate show upstairs at Fremantle’s newest live music venue – C5. Opening the night’s proceedings, local chanteuse Shameem Taheri-Lee warmed up an already healthy early turnout with her soulful mashup of pop, R&B and soul, singing along to her own backing tracks and playing some live keyboards. While the backing track option took away from the moment a little, she made up for it with her captivating stage presence, a cover of Michael Jackson’s Man In The Mirror going down particularly smoothly. The Alfred Gorman/Harvey Rae DJ verse-off in the gaps provided easy transitions between the acts; playing Kimbra straight after Shameem’s set feeling particularly appropriate, along with other fun tunes like the Jay-Z/Alicia Keys joint Empire State Of Mind and Justice Vs. Simian’s We Are Your Friends.

So recently I rocked up to the West TV studios on a freeeezing cold morning… was bundled through make-up and then whisked into their chilly warehouse-like back studio, among some other hot new acts from WA, to do an interview with these lovely people – Nikkita and Antonio. If you’re impatient, skip ahead to 06:17 to catch me!
