| 那天 Reggie Martin 送我们门票在澳门威尼斯人金光综艺馆看 Chris Brown 亚洲巡回演出,我和 Rachel 拿到很好的位置,在舞台右边第一排!Stevie 和 Concept 在比较后面一点。 一进去灯光暗下来后,全是一片惊叫声!特别是坐在我旁边的女生,她们叫到我耳朵发痛,哈哈!而且是一直没停过的!演出开始后,我和 Rachel 跟着音乐跳动,Chris Brown 真的是个很厉害的舞者,我相信你们都知道!在 MTV 里大家都该看过,而且现场演出也是很厉害的,唱歌非常的有味道。我看到一个很高大的黑人一直盯着我看,好像是 Chris Brown 的个人保镖,在演出一半后,他走到我和 Rachel 的面前问我们想不想上台跟 Chris 跳舞,我们当然说好了,我们也没有尖叫,就假装很酷的回答了他,哈哈,他又问其他人要不要上去,那些人疯狂的大叫,争着要上去,他没有说什么,把我和 Rachel 带到舞台旁边和其他选中的小孩子一起等着,我和 Rachel 其实很兴奋,我们两个一直忍不住大笑.我想坐在我旁边的那些女孩肯定气死了。那天我们是临时得到票,居然没有带相机!但幸好 Stevie 每次出门都会带,我们想他和 Concept 在后面看到我们在台上肯定大笑!我们被一个巨大的黑人抬到台上,我感觉我好像飞起来一样,到台上跟着音乐跳起来,呵呵,当然没有呆很久,不过是一次非常美好的经验。 这都在我 youtube 靓女日记录像博克上,第十二集- Chris Brown Special。 www.youtube.com/ayijihudivadiaries 看完演出后,Chris 的保镖过来问我晚上去哪里玩,想要我们一起出去,当然我们太多事,没去,他们第二天就去了菲律宾演出。 看完演出最大的感想就是我觉得这次他的演出虽然是很好,但没有我想象中的那么好,可能我期待很多,有时候可能是钱的原因,我相信如果他在英国或美国,演出安排会非常的棒,这让我意识到,有时候当你到一定成名度,不需要任何东西,你就会得到歌迷的尖叫,一定的门票销售,我不是说那是 Chris Brown 的错,有时候原因很多,但让我知道不管在哪里,多出名,我都要尽我全部努力给歌迷一个美好的演出,至少尽了我最大努力,就不会遗憾。我相信如果我们每个人都尽自己最大的努力,每次都给与我们的全部,即使犯了错都不会后悔。 |

My name is Ayi Jihu, born in Leibo, Sichuan China, one of the 55minorities called YI, I knew since I could start talking I wanted to sing and dance all my life, I was always in shows and competitions relating to dance and singing, we had class dance competitions every yr in school, and I was never not a part of it, so I was chosen to be the representative of entertainment throughout the yrs of my student life in China. After my father passed away, with the help of my aunt Asha Jihu, I moved to England with my mum and brother when I was 13, I did a few modern jazz classes after school in Cambridge, after being introduced to RnB I fell in love with it, watching how black people dance and move so naturally to the beats I got hooked on it, I started going to clubs on RnB nights just to let my wild side out, and feeling the rhythm, watch and learn, I could really feel it when I started to move, that’s when I can completely let myself go, expressing it through my face and my moves. Without realising, people started to come up and say how good they thought I was, the black girls said I was one of them, which made me feel good.
I took my love for music and dance with me everywhere I went, but I’ve always regretted that I didn’t take it further, I was afraid of being judged, looking bad, and taking risks, so I kind of gave up and tried to look for other things to do, but I was never fully happy, because I knew deep inside me my true love was singing and dancing.
I was studying at an university in London, I wasn’t at the best place of my life then, I regretted everyday why I didn’t go further and chase my dreams, wishing I could turn back the hands of time, I was lost, everyday was like the weather, always raining and dark. Until God sent the Eagle to come and save my life, last year I met him at a Zen oriental party in london, he gave me his card and said I was looking good, asking me to be in some music video, I didn’t take much notice of it until Rachel sent me a message one day asking me if I was interested in being in one of the Alliance’s music videos, (the rap group from Shlepp), I thought why not, purely because of my love for dancing I didn’t care where it was or how much they gonna pay me, I said yes straight away, but feeling extremely nervous about the shooting, that was the first time I thought to myself ‘Ayi u r finally gonna do something even if u r gonna be so nervous and scared about it’!
I Had no idea that Rachel was working for Stevie Eagle E, what a coincidence, to my surprise I was totally comfortable with the video shoot, I just had to dance like how I normally do in clubs, but there’s cameras and people who r not drunk in the bright day light! I could tell that Stevie liked my dancing as I was in so many scenes, as the main girl Concept raps to. I ended the day feeling happy and I had fun! On the way driving back to Cambridge I said to my friend, I couldn’t believe how happy I am right now, I could do this all the time!
Not long after I got a call from Stevie, asking me questions like if I could sing and giving me his thoughts and ideas of what we could achieve together, when he said he wanted to sign me to his record label, I was overwhelmed, I couldn’t believe my luck, I thought to myself, finally! Someone gets me! So I grabbed the opportunity straight away, finally I have hope again in my life, I could see the sunshine that’s in front of me. Of course I never let it go, and gave up, that’s why I’m here today, believe me it’s not always sunshine on this journey, it’s not just luck I’m here today now, I had to commit myself 100percent to it, be 100percent determined, and making all sorts of sacrifices from the small things to the big things, it’s not always as glamorous and fun as people see, it’s hard work definitely not easy, and more will come, but I’m prepared, no pain no gain.
I was lucky to have been chosen to perform at the sands in Macau when my album wasn’t even finished recording, I had my first experience performing on stage as an artist there, I had never been to Macau before that, but this yr, I came back 3times and made Asianstar 24, had press conferences, being in so many newspapers and magazines, have met some very important people to me that I call true friends, so many of my 1st times has happened in Macau, it has become my home away from home. Later on being chosen as the face of Asia to perform in the historical event, London week of peace show in Trafalgar square.
I thank God that he has sent Stevie to help me see my future again, giving Stevie the faith in me, without him this would never happen. Thanks to all those who believes in me and help me through this journey, we all need support and help, especially my family for believing in me from the start never questioning or doubting me. I’m very lucky, and definitely my people back home in Sichuan, in China, they showed me love from the beginning. Following everything that I do, telling me how proud they r of me. I could never go this far without them. I realise now my responsibilities are not just myself anymore, they are for my family, my Shlepp family and each and every single one of you who believes in me, keep the faith and support.
I’m a little Chinese Girl from a little Chinese village not many has ever heard of, but I intend to do big things.
