Hypnotize You (Performing in N*E*R*D's Concert!)

I will never forget last Monday for, well, as long as I live.

I got the chance to perform in N*E*R*D's concert (as I wrote here) and it was like, a dream come true. I opened for Sean Kingston's concert a few months ago and I can honestly say it's the best gig I have ever done and this gig, for N*E*R*D, made a top three. I was such a huge fan. From Lap dance to Rock Star to She Wants To Move to Everyone Nose to Spaz to Hot'N'Fun and definitely to Hypnotize You.

They performed ALL of them that night, by the way, I thought I died and went to a robotic heaven. They were THAT good, playing with emotions of the fans. I mean you can totally bounce in one song and get totally turned on the next. He acted all cool and never lost his ridiculously smooth voice although he sang for almost 12 songs in a row.



I performed right before their set and after their set, two full sessions. I got my usual partner-in-crime/favorite talkbox player (Lloyd Popp) and a DJ slash mini drum player (Mali) with me. I first thought I would be totally ignored. After all people might rush past me to get to N*E*R*D's stage then leave after the show is over but thankfully, I still had a bunch of audience nodding along and taking pictures. Much appreciated, guys.

Here's my performance video from that night:



And here are a couple of pictures:







Sadly, I didn't get the chance to take picture with Pharrell. I fully blame the very limited time and the big cranky bodyguards surrounding him. Boo.

For the Love of N*E*R*D

I'LL BE PERFORMING AT N.E.R.D'S JAKARTA CONCERT TOMORROW NIGHT!


I just found out about the news last Friday before I boarded my plane to Lombok, so no special preparation but lots of prayers. What am I going to do? This is quite a big deal because the only serious international artist I have ever opened for before was Sean Kingston a few months ago.

Nervous. Big time.

What am I gonna do if I meet this guy?

FAINT. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm such a huge fan. The dude makes seriously good beats. You ask me to choose between getting a hot new pair of Louboutin shoes or having a new song with beats made by Pharrell Williams? I'll say the beats. Every single time. That's how much of a huge fan and a hiphop dork I am.

Wish me luck, guys.


ps. I have tons of pictures from my Lombok trip, it was beyond fun. I'm editing them right now and will post about it soon.
