Things are moving.. Aug. 25 2010

Hello all

So my house move is finally complete and I'm settling in nicely. I'm a proper DIY man now! I've been building non-stop. Cupboards, drawers you name it, I'm building it! Well putting it together anyway..still, I've impressed myself! lol

I was in the Label on Monday where I listened to my whole album for the first time! I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I've worked so hard on it and it's been a long process but now it's almost here and it's soon to be released. I can't wait for you to hear it! More news to follow soon.

See you soon!

Los Angeles and back.. Aug. 11 2010

Hey guys,

As you all know I'm recently back from a trip to LA. I had a brilliant time, love that place. I had a two day photoshoot with photographer Tony Duran. His work is amazing, very creative, great for movement, a little bit crazy at times which gives him the best shots. Can't wait to see the finished product. The "Ward Team" were brilliant, thanks to Roma, Russell, Anya, Jamie and John for all the hard work and focus.

I'm back in London now and back on it. Finishing moving house, stayed the night with Faye surrounded by bags and boxes, oh the joy of moving! LOL we love our new place.

I'm meeting up with Syco next week to discuss the next steps. So glad to be home now. Body clock still a little messed up from LA but can't help the buzzing feeling I'm getting knowing I'm close to releasing my single.

 Hope you're all well, speak soon.

Shayne xx

Still unpacking Jul. 31 2010

So I'm still getting the new apartment straightened out. It's been hard to find the time to fully unpack with my schedule getting busier and busier. I'm still waiting for my new bed and sofa and then I'll add the finishing touches. I can't wait!

No rest for the wicked though, got training to do for my long awaited photo shoot in one next week - I feel like a kid at Christmas time I'm that excited. Feeling very positive and upbeat! keep you posted.

 Love Shayne

Lovin' the sun Jun. 28 2010

Hi all,

How amazing is this weather!? I hope you've managed to enjoy the sun and forgotten about the depressing World Cup result. I hear we've still got plenty of sunshine to look forward to!

My recording sessions are coming to a close and the next step is to choose the first single..exciting! Once the first single has been decided things will fall into place very soon!  That's when all systems are go. There's a real buzz from myself and the label and we're very excited about my return to the stage. Seeing all of you again is a huge deal for me. I miss you all like crazy and I'm really looking forward to this.

I'm heading off to a training session now and my tune for today is Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap. I hadn't heard the track for a  while until I saw them perform it at Glastonbury. Great tune! Check it out.

I'll blog again soon, 'til then enjoy your time in the sun.

Love Shayne.

World Cup Diary Pt4 Jun. 15 2010

Hey guys,

My trip do the World Cup in South Africa is almost over. In a short period of time myself and Mark met a lot of characters from all different parts of the world. Outfits were colourful, voices were heard singing and laughing, Vuvuzella's were being blown everywhere - a deafening sound! It's been amazing.

What I loved about South Africa the most was the smiles on the children’s faces when the coaches passed their homes. Everyone was so excited and the atmosphere was amazing. Last night was our last and we decided to have a few quiet drinks. Ha, when you're in Cape Town for the World Cup the last thing you'll get is quietness!

I'm in the airport boarding soon. Look forward to getting back.

See u soon.

World Cup Diary Pt3 Jun. 13 2010

I've had an amazing time in South Africa not just at the match but with my brother. What an amazing experience we've both had! Yesterday was a long day, we were up for over 24 hours, coaches, flights etc but it was all worth it just to walk through the gates of Rustenburg Stadium.


The atmosphere was incredible the noise unbelievable. I was disapointed at the result. The problem with England is they seem to let in too many silly goals . We have a great team, one of the best.  It's up to Capello to know how to use it. I'm sure he does. .

All in all an amazing experiance

World Cup Diary Pt 1 Jun. 10 2010

It's two days to go until England v USA! I can honestly say I haven't felt this excited in a long time. I can already feel the adrenaline and the buzz around me from other fans and I haven't even stepped onto the plane yet. My brother Mark is coming with me, he's older then me but definitely acting like an over excited kid. Ha who am I kidding, I am as well!

It's gonna be a long flight bet I won't even sleep. I will take pics and send over as soon as I can but until then lets all join together and support our wonderful nation.

COME ON ENGLAND!!

Pt2

My brother and I booked a car to take us to the airport, when it arrived the driver asked if we were in a rush and my heart sank! I thought we wern't going to make it. Bring on the M25 aka the biggest car park going! I ask for a little good luck, not one, not two, but four Magpies appear! We get a clear enough run to the airport. Now that's good luck. Magpies we salute you.

So I'm now at the airport and it's really busy! I'm through to passport control and we get stopped by the police for questioning. It's regarding football fans flying over to South Africa without tickets. My brother and I have tickets but we felt guilty..Damn police tactics lol.  But we're through now. Thank God!

More to come, so stay tuned.

I'm gonna be at England's first match with my brother Mark, he can't believe it. It's gonna be an amazing experience. C’mon ENGLAND!! .

Recording of the album is almost there now and now I have the exciting job with Simon of choosing the first single, I can't wait, that's when my imagination runs wild with what the video could be! So exciting times are coming close and I'll keep you all posted.

Blog: Steak diet and recording my new album Apr. 08 2010

Hi guys,

I’ve been absolutely out of it recently as I’ve been pushing myself to the absolute limit for this album. The training’s just become proper intense so it’s nice to have a bit of a rest today. I’m on a protein diet now: no carbs, no nothing. My trainer warned me that I might become a little bit moody. Great, that’ll be fun! It’s all right as long as I get a steak, ‘cause that’s all I can eat. No vegetables, no potatoes… If I want a snack I’ve just got to have stripped chicken or beef. It’s like a Rocky diet!

I did have an Easter egg though. I shouldn’t have done it but I’ve been so much into my training and I was sitting on my own at Easter and I thought I'd treat myself.


I’ve been back in the studio recently as there are lots more songs coming in. I’ve just had a great idea with a new producer I’m working with, so I’m gonna go there today and get that down – it uses a sample from a track from a long time ago. If that works and the record label like it then hopefully it’ll be on the album.

This time round there just seems to be a greater feeling about this record than before. Speaking to the record label, there’s just such a great air about it. They’re over the moon with a lot of the songs, and that inspires me to push myself harder.

The tracks are a lot more up-tempo than before, some mid-tempo and quite a few summer tracks, as well. I’ve always wanted to have a summer single. So that’s where we’re going with it. I think it’s going to be great.

Speak soon

Lots of love

Shayne X
