V-Day 4 Lovers

On lover's day {2/14/07} I was enthralled with my first love on stage. That's right! I started @ Crow's Nest, alongside Antoine Knight, an innovative saxophonist. Then I rolled out to do my thang at the Harlem Bar. Victor Jackson also performed and Tweet "Southern Hummingbird" came out to show love. It was a great night, love was truly in the air. Shout out to DJ Larmarrous putting it down every Thursday at the HarLem Bar with "Beats & Eats."

Moods Music in Store

Saturday, I also dropped by Darryl's "Moods Music" in the hip & fashionable little 5 points. Lil 5 is the artist's dream hang out. Many compare it to New York's Village. I can see that. Moods Music is a wonderful place for soul artists; if the music is good Darryl will support it.

Anyway, I was there to do some networking, support local music business and of course some shopping.  When I walked up I ran into Heston & Brodie...long time buddies and artists on the scene. It's always good to chop it up with them. 

As I proceeded to walk in, right in the doorway I run into Ron of Harmony in Life, who I just talked to early that day.  His event gives up and coming artist an opportunity to showcase their talent and share their gifts. 

Finally, I walk in to witness RAHBI performing. This guy can sing with a style all his own. 

After RAHBI's performance, I conversed with Darryl. He's always a pleasant gentleman. I looked up and noticed my poster hanging on the wall with a montage of other artist. I gotta admit, it feels good to look up and see my image. I know how much work went into getting it out there.

Shout out to Jodine of Jodine's Corner, always keeping us in the loop and giving rising stars a spotlight. We love what you do sis! 

Grinding out Atlanta's SouL Scene

This past weekend was a soul head's dream. Jill Scott and Raheem Devaugn in concert. Saturday night I went to Harmony in Life at J-Carter's "Sugarhill," in downtown Atlanta's Underground. The regular's call it "Sugah."I saw some Atlanta favorites like Brandon Thomas, Salakida, Dawn, Tony Rich and of course Raheem DeVaugn. It was packed ya'll. You couldn't move without bumping into someone, while spilling your drink. The event was way cool!

I also went by Cenci, a premiere vegetarian restaurant in East Atlanta Village. It's a gentrified area for hipsters. There are quite a few bars and fashion boutiques. A little birdy told me that Cenci will not be "vegetarian only" for long. At Cenci DJ Jamad was spinning and Occasional Superstar was painting sensual murals of the female and male anatomy. Something tells me they didn't draw the crowd they wanted because of the stiff competition that night.

Anyway, I was there to meet the owner, Phil, to set up some event dates. His demeanor is cool, yet he's always on the go making moves. I had my debut single release at his spot October 27th 2007, hosted by =Quality= of [PROTON]. On that show I featured Rita J, the Fro'd out Revolutionary & Rare Epiphany, a dope poet.

Look out for ya girl, in March @ Harlem Bar, The Grape & Cenci!
