We're nosy. We like to know what life is like for our favourite pop stars. Proper life, y'know. Not this fancy glam sham they'd like us to believe. That's why we're asking some of them to give us an account of exactly what they get up to in a 24 hour period. This month... Shura. 9AM (sometimes as late as 11AM - whoops!)
If the kittens haven’t woken me up at 6am trying to get me to feed them with Antonio Banderas in the style of Puss in Boots in Shrek eyes then I will mainly wake up around 9. The first thing I do before anything is OBVIOUSLY pee and brush my teeth - anyone who doesn’t do this as soon as they wake up isn’t doing it right. A lot of the time I’ve come back super late from a gig the night before so I will try and stretch that out as far as is humanly possible. When I was writing for my first album it was a little different because I would normally start writing at 11, but touring is a very different lifestyle.
10AM
I actually can’t have breakfast immediately BUT I can have several cups of tea. When I used to smoke I used to have a cigarette and a coffee (x2) which is basically the worst way to start the day ever. Now I like to alternate between Earl Grey and Yorkshire just to keep things fresh. Once I’ve down a few of those I normally try to include avocado somehow into my breakfast. This is mainly by smashing it with lime and chilli and having it on toast which is basically the best freakin’ breakfast in the world.
11AM
I normally like to start jamming around this time. It means it’s not long till lunch so if you’re stuck on something you can have some time away from the laptop to have a think about different ways of approaching something. That’s especially true if I’m remixing. If I’m writing songs I tend not to get too worried about getting stuck and just move onto the next idea. I guess I just have faith that if an idea is good that the solution to the problem will come... it just might not be immediate.
