Sometimes amazing things pop into your inbox to break up the mundane with little nuggets of specialness. Just over a week ago I had the pleasure of speaking at the MMF’s “The New Artist Model” event in my hometown Berlin. I remember being rather flattered and shortly after flustered, when I received an email, reading …

What do you know, I’m back in Berlin! I hope this little post finds you well. I’m very pleased to announce that I’m taking part in the MMF‘s (music manager’s forum) event: “The New Artist Model”. Tomorrow we’re gathering at Google HQ for a day of panels, key notes and other sexy stuff. Spotify, Youtube, …
More dates to be announced shortly. If you have any other town / venue suggestions or would like to host a private gig, just get in touch. Ich freue mich auf euch! Vielen Dank und bis bald, Roxanne x
I intended this next post to be about Standon Calling and the BBC Introducing session, but last night I played a show at the Finsbury in north London for the folks of ‘Stop Look Listen’ and now I feel I need to share a couple of thoughts circulating this overcrowded head of mine. Something has …

I’ve been mostly sleepy on trains, writing being replaced by staring out of the window, counting sheep (which, as we all know, doesn’t help).

I’m sitting in the departure lounge at Frankfurt airport, mostly surrounded by suited folk who are busy checking emails on smartphones. Last night was the second show of my first ever living room tour. Two days prior to …

Tuesday evening I attended the FAC’s (Featured Artists Coalition) event on digital music. The FAC is a free membership organisation for featured artists whose goal it is to educate and empower independent featured artists. There were three speakers: a representative of PPL, PRS and a digital distribution company called Zimbalam, each covering the basics of …
I’m on the train to Cromford, via Derby. Tonight I’m playing an adventure gig, meaning I have no idea what to expect, even less so than usual, at a venue called The Boat’s Inn. It’s the last day of May, which has been a rather special month in my books. I’ve just finished my debut …

I will always have a soft spot for Liverpool. As rough and rowdy as the exterior may be, this is a town where people take their music seriously. Sunday before last I played a show at Sound, a new music venue on Duke Street. With a packed room of, shall we say, jolly people, I …
