Hip Hop Honey Part 2

Yes you would be right in thinking that the hot mess above is me! Untouchable is King Kash's latest release of his EP 'Worth The Wait'. 
After appearing in his last video H.O.T. I was lucky that Kash decided I was good enough to have a more leading role in Untouchable. Candy dreams of going to a performers college, but with huge fees and no support from her father she turns to adult recruitment to raise the money. However, in the alternative version Candy finds about a scholarship that would cover all the fees. The video portrays a message of hope and that things may you may feel you are faced with an impossible situation and that you are on a downward spiral but there is always an alternative and a way to turn your life around. 


Like the video, Untouchable has a positive message. The lyrics of the chorus go as follows:

"Watch me as I head to sky,

Just know that I'm winning the prize,

You can see by the look in my eyes, you can tell I'm untouchable. 

Built to win when I jump in the race

Cause no person is going to stand in my way,

You can see that I got what it takes, so you know I'm untouchable." 

The song is all about achieving and that anyone is capable of reaching their dreams. The song is so fitting for an artist who has a strong ambition is day by day making strides towards it.

Being in a music video

I have always loved music videos. I am constantly being told off because I just watch them all the time. I can remember as a teenager watching videos over and over again trying to learn every move and it was my ambition when I moved to London to be in one music video. So when in January this year, I went on a date with a guy who managed music artists and could get me in a video I was very interested. 11 months later my dream finally came true. 


The story starts on a cold Saturday morning in Bermondsey, which wasn't quite as glamorous as I had always imagined. I arrived at studio along with children street dancers and other women models/dancers. We all waited in anticipation for the arrival of the artist King Kash. All morning I waited for us to finally get on set, whilst I froze myself off in the process. By the time I got on set I was starving having not eaten all day and managing to pull enthusiasm and energy from somewhere took some work.


Track on, Lights on, Fan on...it was time for me to work it. It was weird how in a club, at a tube platform, on the pavement I have no problem dancing but in a studio with all eyes on me if was a different story. I was so scared, I could feel my body shaking and my heart pumping out my chest. I was HOT, but not the type I needed to be for the video. The wonderful Videographer Danielle Da Silva encouraged me and after a take I forgot everyone else was in the room and just performed. By the time I was done I didn't want to stop and I really hope I get the chance to be in another video one day.


But the story doesn't end there. Now I have to wait patiently for the footage to be edited to see if I even make the final cut and if I do exactly what sections of me get used. So now I wait in anticipation for King Kash's H.O.T.
