Opera's Red Carpet

The Atlantis Music Conference was recently in town and WATER SEED was invited to perform on the Urban Stage at Apache and walk the Red Carpet at Opera, which is where the kick off industry party was held. 99.7 and many other heavy hitters were at the party. They said the goal was to sign 100 bands. 

Atlantis Music Conference is know for highlighting mainly punk, rock, and alternative bands so it was cool to be apart of the whole thing.  It only gets betta!!!

In the picture from left to right is Louis, Cinese, Shaleyah, Marius, J and the reporter on the end.  Shout Out to the A spot for featuring our red carpet debut.

Hookah Cafe in New Orleans

I am the newest member in WATER SEED a New Orleans jam band started in 2006. The other members are Cinese = Flute, Louis = Drums, J = Keys, Marius = bass of course I'm on vocals.

I've enjoyed touring the country playing with this band. We are currently revamping our online presence to infuse my image. But still check out WATER SEED at www.myspace.com/waterseed.

I'd also like to shout out my Stylist and close friend LITE. This sista is genuine with a dope fashion sense. She hails from Brooklyn now living in ATLanta. Check her out at www.litefreedomariposas.blogspot.com.

Traveling overseas is not easy, but it's a great opportunity to experience other cultures and expand one's fan-base. We're leaving next week so please send good vibes. I'm sure I'll have a lot to share upon my return to the states.
