Well, what a year 2008 was. Obviously the X Factor has been a major factor in that, from waiting in line at the o2 in London on a bank holiday Monday in the pouring rain for 6 hours, to my first ever live show on TV, sharing the stage with what Simon called "the best bunch of talent he had ever seen on any X Factor or Idol show".
Then 2009! Singing live on the X Factor tour in some of the UK's best arenas, Wembley, MEN, o2 London and Dublin plus many others (sold out too)...now that was awesome and it was nice to be able to show people what I do on the big stage away from the pressure of TV cameras and public votes (not to mention 2 rather nasty judges!!). Every step has been an adventure...
So, I was kicked out of the show by the judges despite having the most public votes after an amazing 6 weeks...and now just trying to make a living from something that I love, and that's music.
Music is something that has always been in my life from a young age but the truth is I never took it seriously...but now I'm proud to say that has changed...I'm now back to writing songs, gigging wherever I can and spending a lot of time on the keys and as soon as any songs are completed or gig dates announced you will see them here.... I hope you will enjoy my music and my interpretations of some classics. I truly believe a good song has to have passion and soul, my motto is 'sing it like you mean it' and I hope this comes across in my performances.
UPDATE: I am presently putting the finishing touches on an album with an independent label that allows me to sing and produce what I truly believe are amazing songs. I can't recall the last time I heard a real heart wrenching track on the radio or TV, something that really moves you, something that you feel but sung in a natural way so everyone can relate to it. We have found some hidden gems and some never released old soul tracks too, plus a few other surprises in there, and of course, a couple from the TV show...
Each and every song has heart and soul and I hope you guys will support me in buying the album when its released on iTunes In January 2010.
We are hoping it will show that you don't need to be signed to a massive label or a big management company to make good music heard. Its a dream of mine to do an album...and to be able to choose songs that I really believe in is amazing...I hope you like it too...watch this space... DE x
£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!
Hugs from Brazil, Claudio David

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us... we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice... solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand The friend....WISHING YOU A WONDERFUL WEEKEND MY FRIEND
