So bad at this

What has happened to me? I am telling you, this website thing is so distracting that I dont even update that!

Anyway rubbish aside, I have been caught up with stuff (life stuff) so here I am trying to make up for it while I have the lap top on my actual lap. Most of the time I am lazy with the lap top across the room and a bluetooth keyboard and mouse by my side. Couch potato to a whole new level indeed.

SO! Here I am with the dates that I have! I know it's kinda half done, but it's the information I have right now and I will update along the way. Thank you for visiting the blog for updates! You're the best and I am so glad you keep an eye on me ;)

FEBRUARY 2016

Hey Everyone!

So this is something I have not done in a while but I have been trying to keep up in letting people know when I have been performing, I am so sorry to my followers and friends who have tries to keep up and I have been an absolute useless online user in updating you. 

BUT I really want to change that. =) From what I see, there are still people out there checking out my blog so why not keep it going even though I have a web site? I have always loved blogs ( I wonder if anyone can find the old ones I have posted up... those would be embarassing) 

SO HERE IS FEBRUARY. I am going to keep it short and sweet. 

When: 5th
Where: Rils
With: Jimmy, Laura and Jack

When : 6th
Where: Mezze
With : Michael Veerapen, Steve Nanda, Daniel Foong

When: 19 & 20th
Where: Alexis
With: Michael Veerapen, Steve Nanda, Daniel Foong

Hope to see you at some point at one of these shows! 

I have also been hearing a lot of concerned comments about my well being and health, saying that I am looking tired and worn out. I am working on this. I don't know why I have been feeling tired lately, but I am changing my diet, fixing my exercise schedule and making time for healthy activities. 

Always a time for change.

No time like the Present

And finally it’s here, the month we have not been looking forward to. GST is finally here (and it aint no joke).

What does that mean for us all?  Well, I know what that means for me. I will be re-using all my old make up for months to come. And shoes. And clothes. Yikes! Lots to look forward to huh?

March

So yes, i know i have skipped the whole month of February. As some of you know, my mother has been recently admitted into ICU in Penang so I have mostly been on the island to be with her. She is improving a little more every day and, well, it has been quite a roller-coaster which I can't quite get into just yet. 

But anyway, it is a new month, and even though I am 11 days delayed, I am not too late to inform you of the shows which are coming up!

That's about it for now, =D

song of the month: Too Darn Hot, Anthony Strong

JANUARY 2015

Happy new year, folks!

This year I have decided to know my resolutions, instead of make new ones. Work hard, get there (wherever “there” is)

2014 came and left with many lessons, many happy (and sad) memories and a new way of seeing things. I am lucky. Sometimes, when things are getting difficult, just remember that the rewards after will just taste sweeter.

And so, I am more than excited to announce that the year kicks off with a gig!

2^nd

A lot is going to be happening real soon, planet! Look out for my brand new single coming out sometime soon too, “Leave your man”! I love love love this song and I can not wait for everyone to hear it and watch the video when it is ready for public eyes.

What can I say Malaysia, you have got me this far, help me go further?

Love,
dasha

The month I have been waiting for!

I am in a daze that this post is going to have to be short and sweet.

12dec – Rils, Bangsar, 10pm

16dec – No Black Tie, Jalan Mesui, Dasha’s birthday party, 9:30pm

Then it’s just weddings and I am taking a 2 week holiday!

So first of all, it has been CRAZY!

I don’t even know where to begin saying…..

OH MY GOD I CAN NOT BELIEVE “CLEVERLY” IS NOW NUMBER 1 ON THE UK SOUL CHART!!

WHAT’/!?!?!?!?!

I guess I want to thank people. And I want to say how I feel. And I want to point out that this feels like the beginning of something that is going to be amazing. And it’s actually kicking off! 10 years of working hard and grinding my teeth and trying to get myself heard, and I have finally reached level 1 of this insanely multi floored building to success in this industry. I may have started in the basement, but here I am, finally a floor up. One up, as the gamers say. =)

I have always had people around me who knew my destiny as well as I did. Like it was not even a question, I always knew I wanted to sing and knew that I would stop at nothing. Although, I admit I have had my doubts, days when I just wanted to throw in the towel and live a life that was comfortable and safe and reassuring. Here I am living it dangerously, undetermined and reckless. And finally, I have reached a point that can actually assure me that… all the hard work is not left unnoticed.

Thank you to the supporters who have and continue to support me, my music, and my lineage. And even to the people who have nothing nice to say about me, I want to thank you. Because if it was not for the hate you feel for me, I would never feel all the love that comes from the people who do. I only hope you find something today that would make you so happy, you wouldn’t find the need to hate.

BIG LOVE!!!!

Dasha Logan - Cleverly ft Paul Johnson (Official Video)

29^th – Charity Raggae Night Come by The Scott Garden to catch me with Bassement Syndicates performing for a good cause. 

I hope to see everyone there! =) Next live shows may be a while so come catch us while you can!!! 

Where are the festivals?

The “–bers” are here at last, marking the quick rush of weeks before the end of the year. How time flies.

I have set goals for myself this year and I am proud to say I have reached 70% of those goals, with the biggest one of all, getting a song out into the world. Not just any song, an original song. Played internationally.  Jump-around-like-a-little-girl happy!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, there are no public shows this month. Lots of private shows which is good, busy is good! =)

However, I will be popping up around Kuala Lumpur. Guess you’ll have to follow me on Facebook for that. =) https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dasha-Logan/60022910933?ref=hl

Been keeping myself busy with cooking and reading and writing. Also going to challenge myself with a word a day with the help of Dictionary.com  so if you see me on the street, come up to me and ask me what the word of the day is. Whoa, really setting a challenge for myself.

Will definitely arrange some live shows for the remaining of the year. There’s nothing I love more than inviting people to shows. I finally got Spotify! I feel like I have not lived properly all this while until I got the app. Yikes.

So I will see you lovely people around town, have a great October, and if I were to give you any advice, it would be to get Christmas Gifts now. =D Beat the rush!
