Up and coming artist Pixie Lott checked in with fans via her official MySpace profile on Monday (21st April) with the following message: - "I'm now in my last week in LA. We had to extend the trip to get more writing sessions in! It has been a very eventful and productive trip and I love being in LA! I started off working with The Underdogs and Kara DioGuardi. We have the song up on the MySpace right now – “Without You” - so have a little listen! We also did another song with Harvey Mason Jr. called 'Everytime', which you can hear soon. After working with him, I went to work with Soulshock & Karlin and Claude Kelly.  We wrote 2 new songs which turned out great! I also worked with Mike Elizondo and David Ryan Harris at Mike's beautiful house and studio in Westlake Village. I'm going there again later this week! Today I'm going to work with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins for a couple of days ... I’ll let you know how it goes! So besides the work side of things, I was lucky enough to have my beautiful friend Carla to come and visit, so we fitted in a spot of shopping in Santa Monica. We also went along to support Toby Gad get his song of the year award at the ASCAP awards! It was amazing to go down the red carpet and get photographed so much! We were seated next to Justin Timberlake, Natasha Bedingfield and Fergie, we couldn't believe it! Lionel and Nicole Richie were sat right behind us it was amazing! Thank you Toby for inviting us! We also went to see the 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' last night. It was so funny my mum and I loved it. You should defo go out to see that. So there's your little LA update! I've enjoyed it so much working with such talented people but can't wait to get home to see my friends and family. I get back on Saturday the 26th - It's been 6 weeks! Keep listening to the songs and thank you for reading!”
