Mid level of 2013

Well Well Well! Here I am again writing back, well been pretty busy with many things happening in my life. As I am juggling work life and my passionate journey being an Emcee often I think to myself god this hard! But when I see miracle stories of those working 2 jobs to support their families and people who are always working so hard just to make it I turn to myself to say "Hey You CAN DO THIS!"

This year has been good to me, made a lot of friends and been into many events to show what the Loose Cannon is made off. To kick start this year, I have the honor to host Pankaj Udhas Live In Concert Malaysia 2013 hosted by Hitman Solutions! My oh my, it was not easy to stand on the rostrum and not seeing the crowd's reaction to what ever I was speaking but all went well and had great feedback from the concert. Working with Hitman aka Rohit, the experience I get is the man only wants what he expects and as long I deliver it he is totally happy with it. Then I moved on to work on DJ Rink Pool Party 2013 which was a tough time as my father in law just passed on but as they say it "The Show Must Go On". Oh yes I am getting married this October to this lovely person who always giving me endless support and encouragement.

Also hosted Jassi Sidhu Concert which was hosted by SweetMix Roadshow, RMX Events and Trish Events in Southall II which was awesome pawesome! Had loads of fun with the crowd and didn't had the chance to speak with Mr. Jassi as the guy was on a mission to please the crowd! And indeed he was definitely the crowdpleaser he is well known off bringing back all his great hits taking me back times when we use to sing and dance to his songs. And yes yes yes! Forgot about Holi 2013, was an impromptu thing as I was just attending for the very first time and became the hype man for like 1000 people from all around the world which was mindblasting!

The biggest challenge by far of working as Emcee for 2013 is definitely managing expectations and bringing A game to each show I host. Juggling with my day job has also the effects of it as I can only manage to meet clients on the weekend as night calls take the best of me on weekdays. Also the passing of my father in law, it was tough for me and my love as I couldn't cancel my shows but she was really understanding on that time. The toll of experience I gain from the first half of 2013 is definitely making me prepared for the second half as its going to be a hectic year ahead of me.

This year also was a great moment with all challenges left aside that I made new friends who I can truly rely on, they are always there to support and help me in anyways they can. Certain that the picture ain't over for 2013 as The Loose Cannon is set for big bang till end of this year. Why I am so confident is that, blessed with calls from client to book me on December!!! That was something simply amazing for me as never expected that I could make such a difference. Well will try to write more when time permits and keep updating on what's happening on me life:)

With best regards and lotsa love,
Emcee Bally Dhillon @ The Loose Cannon

At the end of 2012

Been a while since I have written my blog ever since the first one...well its mainly because of either work, shows or personal matters. Planning to try on writing at least once a month and if I have more time a week would be better. Just to share some thoughts and also experiences as life is all about sharing else what is the point of living? 

I have been working pretty hard in office and also getting plenty of shows as well, must say that it is a big challenge to balance out as it takes a great toll. It doesn't only cost time, energy but the biggest thing is relationship with family, friends and loved ones. Why I am saying that is that when doing shows, I tend to divert all my energy towards my show and it does not allow me to really get into conversation or go out. Essential thing to do is setting the expectation and time management for every single thing which is going on in my life.

At the end of 2012, just recollecting my thoughts and experiences that I have learnt from my mistakes through out this year. It has been a transitional year from the aspects of relationship status, work life and shows. All I can say the most important thing I have learned this year is that with respect, love, honor and ethics one can reach heights of success at any level. 

Will share more thoughts soon!

Much Love,

The Beginning

The Beginning

Well to start off, thank you all for reading my first ever blog. I just want to feel how a written blog is as I never done it before and at the same time would like to share my exciting journey with the rest of you. 

Well how did I started being a Master of Ceremonies aka Emcee. The story was simple though despite how long winded this post is, I was somewhat forced to be involved in my brother's wedding preparations so my task is to ensure wedding reception is well coordinated. Made a checklist which was pretty simple outlined as below:

Venue : Check!

Decorator : Check!

Sound & Light : Check!

Performers : Check!

Emcee : ???

"Emcee?Who can it be?" Ideally we knew many well known Emcees around the town and they are expensive so to go with our budget, I volunteered myself to be the host of my brothers reception. It was noble, gutsy and a cocky move I must say as I had no clue of what I am going to pull up on stage. So I dragged my sister in law's brother(Dashan) together on the stage as it would not be as nerve wrecking as standing there alone. 

After doing much research on YouTube, reading many online notes on how to entertain and talk on stage (didn't really do me a big favor though) I assumed that this is going to be a walk in the park!!! By nature, I could guarantee that all my friends would classify me as a chatty clown who does not know when to shut up:D Plus in my years of experience dancing on stage and event management, I believed that this would flow smoothly like a summer breeze.

Right before stepping up on the stage, Dashan tells me to take a few gulps from his whisky flask, just to shake it all off(not sure if it really did help though). Now, we had no introduction, no music entrance or any other ... how should I put it... Dhoom Dham! Bollywood's displayed hero's entrance in a movie (because I believe feeling like a hotshot before stage entrance- you would be that confident hotshot on stage). However when we went up- as I recall it was the longest night I have ever perpetually lived!Imagine welcoming a crowd over 500 and forgetting all the notes that I have written, my legs trembled and I was stammering. It was like being the skiddish new kid on the block in the younger days.

Funny thing is even handling a crowd was suppose to be my sort of game, but these crowd was not very kind towards me that night as they were unresponsive and dead like a still quiet night. It was very hard to get any response from them! even it was just  pushing that "switch on" button to turn their moods from dead to party. So! putting on the best possible tolerating mask we both could wear, we tried to handle to crowd in the best way possible. And FINALLY the night ended. 

Few days later, I started getting good feedback's about our first show. That made the seconds start ticking in my head- why not make my entertainment job? ;)

I must appreciate those people in my life who pointed me to the right direction. I had my first gig for a corporate event a month after my brothers wedding and I have never looked back since.

 It's really astounding to walk down memory lane, as it feels like it was yesterday I went on stage for the first time not to setup a speaker nor to dance but to be the Master of Ceremonies. 

I have to thank few people which is enlisted as below:

Menin Jessy

Big Bash Events (Ajay & Sheetal)

Hasheel Sidhu Services (Harry & Sanjit)

Ravs Studio (Ravi)

Dave Singh Studio (Dave|Love)

Here is a click on the start of the nonsense I have been bringing on my shows ever since:)

Much Love,
