LOCKDOWN GLOW UP!

While essential, self-care isn't just about pampering yourself with face masks, a body scrub, a fresh set of nails, or a new haircut, having a social media detox, a solo adventure, etc. It also involves working on your mental and emotional health. To do that, some choose to meditate, to practise yoga or indulge in motivational podcasts, and then there are those who create music (their own therapy and light relief) to empower others. One such person is the remarkably talented songwriter and singer, Eve-Yasmine Saoud-Easton.

Eve-Yasmine happens to be a very dear friend of mine whom I have known for roughly 10 years and I am definitely one who is forever inspired and moved by her courageous grind (her solo trip to L.A. comes to mind) in pursuit of her career and life goals. She truly is a wonderful person and I love her so much!

Her recent lyrical inspiration is titled Glow Up and she certainly has! You've got to watch her lay down her glowy sass in her video (link below) which offers a visual stimulus to the audience. Colourful, fun, quirky and edgy all at the same time.


Once a keen and refreshingly unique T.V. and stage presenter, Eve-Yasmine (Eve) has always wanted to uplift and encourage everybody around her to pursue their dreams and succeed in whatever they choose to do. So, it makes me super happy to see her achieving her own through consistency, determination, diligence, tenacity, courage, a big heart and always with a smile in a bid to inspire others. This fierce work ethic and drive is no doubt the reason why in March 2020, Eve was blessed with her biggest career opportunity to date - her debut headline gig at London's 02 in Islington!

Before a packed audience of fans and loved ones, Eve graced the stage to deliver her easy-listening vocals to the backing of feel-good beats courtesy of her amazing live band and assisted by two beautiful backing vocalists (her lovely friend, Andriah, and Eve's stunning sister, Mia). A delightful treat of positive vibes and motivation with every song, but, especially the aptly penned Glow Up which served a hearty and timely dose of inspiration.

Even throughout this surreal time, Eve continues to seek out opportunities to help her maintain an optimistic focus and earlier this month she featured on Roc Nation's Instagram Live with their senior A&R! Singing with ease and that beaming smile of hers, Eve wowed and entertained all who tuned in. It was epic!!

Thank God for the musicians/artists in this world, for where would we be without music?
