Thank you to our supporters, writers & collab'ers!


Throughout the year we have been steadily building our publishing catalogue.
We have a licensing store that is due to be launched in 2013. You can check it out now to get a feel of what’s to come here: http://tygahoneymusic.co.uk/licensing.html

Whilst creatively toiling away recording in our solar powered production studio throughout 2012, Tygahoney Music collaborated with the following award winning songwriter/composer/artists on new song writing projects in the Funk, Neo Soul, House and Chillout/Electronica genres. We wanted to give all of them a shout out. 

What a unique year! We've been nurturing these cyber-music relationships at the same time as getting our USA based operation up and running. Thanks for being a part of the experience everyone.  Here’s to a positive, productive and successful future:

This year we worked with: 

Barrie K. Sharpe
Gareth Tasker
Felix XFile Macintosh (General Levy, Asian Dub Foundation, Aref Durvesh)
David Beazer
Neal Conway  (Crystal Waters, Ultra Nate, T.I., Mary Mary)
Marshall Booze
Robert Burbidge

and had remixes by: 

Phat Frank
Sal Negro
DJ Ant B
Pure Elevation

It was fun to co-write and provide the vocals on projects with Felix, Barrie and Neal respectively. The releases "Colour Pt. 1 and Pt.2" with Barrie K. Sharpe (http://tygahoneymusic.co.uk/colour.html) and "Candid" with Felix Macintosh (http://tygahoneymusic.co.uk/candid.html) were released in July and October this year. Check them out and buy them from our store: http://tygahoneymusic.co.uk/shop.html.


We had more placements of our music on prime time shows and documentaries around the world including shows on Discovery Channel, BBC America, CNN, ABC and MTV including: Primeval, Jim Doherty in Darwin's Garden, Royal Wedding of a Lifetime, Plain Jane, Ros na RĂșn, 0 ond 1 and so much more! 


So, the year ends with more great tracks and mixes in our catalogue, ready to be released and licensed for multiple music purposes during 2013 and beyond. They'll be unveiled soon. Subscribe to this blog so you can be the first to hear.

Tygahoney Music intends to continue to make a positive difference with its work too, keep an eye out for more updates on our CSR orientated projects.

I am excited to see what the future holds.

BIG thanks to Independent Music Group and Ellis Rich OBE for being so supportive with the administering of our Publishing Catalogue.

"What is Social Enterprise?" film soundtrack provided by Tygahoney Music & Publishing Ltd.

SEL's Film, "What is Social Enterprise?" was filmed to raise awareness of Social Enterprise and to highlight some life changing Social Enterprises based in London. I was asked to present and narrate the film and my company, Tygahoney Music provided the soundtrack. The film crew was the Creative Motion Picture Co. Fab guys! 

Other London companies featured in the film include Jamie Oliver's restaurant Fifteen, which gives unemployed youth a chance to have a better future, Clarity, a charity that employs blind and disabled people to create cleaning products and yummy personal care gift sets that aren't tested on animals, and my company Tygahoney Music, a socially conscious record label and publishing company which provides mobile music workshops for schools and communities, mentors and raises awareness on social issues including homelessness, domestic abuse and Fair Trade through it's work. 

It was an honour to be involved in this media project and to film it in my home town in London. To be asked to provide the soundtrack and to present and narrate too was wonderful! It was great to be involved in a film commissioned and produced by those who share similar sentiments about making a positive difference in business. We filmed all over London. It was a long, exhausting day, but very rewarding.



You'll find the film on SEL's website, on our YouTube page, and right here too! Check it out, leave a comment and let me know how use social enterprises in your every day life. 
Thanks for reading.

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

We've Been Tweaking and Mastering...

Tygahoney is currently working on the final masters of all the new compositions to be added to the updated Tygahoney Music Publishing catalogue. The new website is coming together too. All of this API web code configuration to deal with when all I want to do is create exciting, deep and heartfelt new sounds and just get the music out there! 

In the meantime, I'm pleased to have Tygahoney Music's creations playing on rotation all over television and film worldwide.  

I am looking forward to launching the new material.
Exciting times!  

You'll be alerted when the website is ready, keep your eyes peeled to that inbox!  While you're waiting, don't forget to get in touch with any queries, we may be able to help you with that music project of yours!

Enjoy the rest of your week.

Press Release: “Digital Audio Postcard” Single Recorded in Tropical Jungle, Cornwall & London by 2 Females

Candid is out now. Here is the official press release...


“Digital Audio Postcard” Single Recorded in Tropical Jungle, Cornwall & London by 2 Females


“Digital Audio Postcard” collaboration & video recorded between tropical jungle, Cornwall & London by two female Londoners released as a single.


After two years recording the instruments and voice parts separately on opposite sides of the world,Global Soul Electronica digital audio postcard “Candid” will be available for digital download this Friday. Despite being 8,000 miles apart, in The Tropics & The Temperate, founders Felix Xfile Macintosh and Danelle Harvey continued working on the Candid Unleashed project. 

The musicians, recording artists and independent label owners met at a networking event for female record label owners in London. A mutual love of tigers and music helped seal their connection and they attended a William Orbit Production master class together soon after. After swapping their relative music industry experiences and production techniques on their tube journey home, they decide to work together on a project. Despite Danelle’s imminent departure to the Tropics to write and record her new single album, they continued to collaborate between Felix’s base in London and Danelle’s base in a tropical remote jungle. Felix recorded the bass, and Danelle recorded the vocals. The Udu African claypot was recorded remotely from Cornwall in the UK and they decided to add it to the mix. 

The “Digital Audio Postcard” name tag was given to the project due to the process of posting audio and video footage to each other via snail mail and digital methods. Their remote recording method was also used to create video footage from both the jungle, London and Cornwall. Upon completion of the song, they decided to release it as a single.

The co-release by Tygahoney Music’s Funk ‘n Honey and Tigersonic Tracks, the labels run by Danelle and Felix, will be available direct from the Candid Unleashed Website as a download:http://candidunleashed.co.uk on September 21 2012.

"More hooks than a Prince track!"

That is what one of the attendees of our listening party wrote about our upcoming release "Candid". Any positive reference to Prince fills me with joy so that already has me beaming!

It is always nice to have feedback from listeners and fans of your music. For me, it is also important to be able to connect and listen to what people in your corner have to say about your work. One of the most difficult parts of the release process for me is marketing a song. The reason being is that there is no set genre for the majority of my music releases, and in this world of conformity, music seems better received (from music stores) when recognised as one of the music categories the industry has chosen. I don't like putting my work in a "box", but having a tangible category to work with makes the sales tracking possible and the promotion, more fun and pain free! With this in mind, Felix and I decided to put the question of what thoughts, feelings and genre spring to mind when listening to "Candid"  to our trusted audience. I'm glad we did. Sometimes you are too close to a project to be objective enough - outside help can be just the ticket. 

So when Tygahoney Music and Tigersonic Tracks held our special listening party for our first co-release together, we invited a small number of people to the lil' online shindig. 

It was fun! We wanted to do a Google hangout initially but chose to do a private FB event instead. I love being a host, virtual or otherwise! That was a highlight along with being about to hear the track from a different perspective. 

We achieved our goal and then some. In the end, we ended up with more words and phrases than you can shake a stick of rock at!

The latest phrase that has turned up, which I like a lot, is "Dreamy groove-laden new world beats...more hooks than a Prince track!" Thanks Tominagirl!

I'll mix that description up and add the "soulful Female voice" element to it, just to give total strangers a heads up on the sound. 

So we are on our way. Next up? Sending out the remainder of the presskits. Look out for yours. If you haven't already received one and you would like to join the promotional list, let me know.

Release date: 21 September 2012.

Thanks for all your support

Before I Chase Those Z's I Wanted To Let You Know

After a week of hard slog filled with frustration, determination, resolve, re-affirmation and a couple of reality checks going toe to toe with fulfilling and eventful moments such as learning to play the ukelele in 20 seconds and then directing a mini 'uke'stra, playing my blue sparkly Descant recorder on a recording  due to overwhelming inspiration (haven't played since I was a pre-teen or would they say "tweenie" these days?!), setting up and hosting a virtual pre-release listening party and succesfully not once mentioning anything to do with a particular world sporting event happening in my home town to one single soul (not once), I think you get the picture... I'm ready to try to get forty winks. Being an insomniac that might be difficult, but I'll whip out the organic chamomile tea and take my chances. Before I settle down and attempt to do a modern Rip Van Winkle (sleep forever) I wanted to let you know that there is some cool activity going on with Tygahoney and Pinterest. Tygahoney Music has a co-release Pinterest board that we have created with Tigersonic Tracks for our upcoming single Candid.

If you are Pinterested, check it here and follow: Candid Unleashed on Pinterest 

Thank you! Wish me luck for catching those z'ssss please...

Thanks for reading.

Have a great weekend!

A Female/Tiger collaboration - Candid [Chillstep] - Coming Soon!

Tygahoney Music's next single 'Candid' will be co-released with Tigersonic Tracks. This lush, chilled out piece of music will be a collaborative release by myself, Danelle Harvey and Felix Macintosh, two females from London. We both own our own independent record labels and are chuffed to be working together. The track has a lovely Asian/Indian flavour. With my vocals on top and Felix playing Bass, it truly is a joyous project to be working on as musicians doing our thing!


The release date is set for 21 August 2012. Please join us on our CandidUnleashed Pinterest board to stay-up-to date with our release related Pinterest posts.
