It was a normal busy day in the EA office with a big batch of emails to sort through.
I noticed one mentioning a modelling audition to be a character in a forthcoming Need for Speed game.
I dismissed it initially, but after seeing other colleagues attempt it I decided to follow suit (starting to feel left out, lol)
Anyway to my surprise I actually fit the criteria and they want me to be a part of the shoot (alongside The Fuel Girls) early next year.
The criteria being: a smug, mid-30s confident Cuban ladies man who's good looking and knows it.
WTF? lol! I'm not sure whether to happy or offended!
I'm in my mid-20s, I'm not Cuban, with nothing to be smug about, not exactly confident and my looks are debatable (debate over: I fail)
But hey if I fit that bill and it means I get a day out of the office to be immortalised in a videogame alongside other models, well I'd even pose as Granny if I had to!
Probably.

Slaughter Mob's review of one of my Dubstep Dubplates in KMag
Taken from this months' KMag, the Dubstep heavyweights Slaugher Mob have written a mini-review of one of my current dubplates (produced under my Citizen Snipz guise)
No release date for this track pencilled in yet, sorry.

Now working at EA, Guildford
So my day job has now relocated (meh!) and I now work in Guildford.
The office desks seem a bit more crammed (and the building lacks the style of Chertsey) but other than that everything is very much the same.
The perks haven't changed, there are still arcade machines and consoles to play in lunch breaks and fruit + gym are still free (major perk!)
Also the added benefit of working in Guildford means that there are actually shops nearby at lunchtime (something which EA Chertsey lacked).
Apparently there's a record shop called Dance2 nearby which I will check out soon...

Working at EA, Chertsey
It's not often that I'd mention my day job(s) on here (because quite frankly, there's normally nothing to tell) but today, finally something worthy has happened!
I successfully landed a role in the Creative Team at Electronic Arts Ltd in the UK recently and today was my first day in my new position.
This opportunity is something I had been searching for a while as my main other career interest (other music) has always been to work in the video games industry (something I've been obsessed with since childhood).
I no longer devote long hours to playing games anymore (as I simply can't) but still enjoy learning about the creation process behind them and aim to create my own one day.
So the role itself? It's great! Nice people, amazing environment (the Chertsey building has to be seen to be believed), great canteen food (more like a restaurant), free fruit, free soft drinks, free consoles and arcade machines to play by reception...oh, and located in a closed off party of Chertsey (complete with a lake).
Pretty much perfect basically.
It is only a 1 year contract position but I'm going to make the most of it.
The only downer so far is that this Chertsey building is being closed down next month and we're all being moved to new offices in Guildford.
Oh well.
