So much has happened in 2014 that I don´t know where to begin! Oh yes I know!! In January I was working very hard, preparing, managing myself as an artist, planning, arranging, designing and promoting all by myself in Budapest. That brave girl with a Swedish accent, that had moved there to work as an intern at Universal Music became a public figure over night. But it was far from what I imagined it to be, it´s like people around me changed in an instant, I was stolen of so much energy and joy I should have kept for myself. There were moments I just wanted to give up, call the TV-producers and say I can´t do this anymore. But something stopped me every time, I could not let the people down that had faith in me, that believed in me. I remember how tired I was, how emotional and fragile I felt, when I went up on that stage in front of a whole nation. I knew my vocal performance was out of pitch, but to be honest I was just happy I could stand straight and I was relieved it was over. Against all odds I was voted forward by the jury, only 2 points after the winner Kállay Saunders. Now, almost a year have passed and I’m so thankful for all the good people I got to know, for the support and love I got from the Hungarian television team and the jury that believed in me, but most of all I’m thankful that my music was heard in Hungary and across the globe. After everything had passed I went back to Sweden to return to school, in April I went to London and Spain to perform and attend songwriting camps, in May I finally graduated and got my diploma in Music Law and Music Business, in June I was off to LA to meet some crazy talented producer/songwriters and new friends. In July I went back to Balatonfüred in Hungary to visit family and perform, I went back to Sweden in August to look for a job and do some gigs, but I didn’t stay long as I was off to Finland in September for another songwriting camp. From October till now I’ve started a new very exciting internship, I’ve started learning Logic Pro X, prepared 2 new songs that you will hear in 2015. And yesterday I finally got my little cat from the cat shelter!! :) Thank you so much for all the love I’ve gotten this year and I hope I can give it all back to you through my music!! Don’t you dare give up on your dreams. EVER. Happy new year from me to you!! xxx JONI (Photo: MTVA)
