Last Friday, I photographed The Parade Company’s “Hob Nobble Gobble” black tie event. The event always has a host of local & national celebrities that guest have the chance to interact with up close & personal. I’m not usually one who is star struck but this time around, I kind of was because Doug E […]
I LOVE Fela Kuti…… His music, his remaining influence on afro-rhythms and his legacy. ——————————– Fela (the musical) is coming to Detroit’s Music Hall this winter and the promoters are grinding hard to get the word out with literature, commercials & art exhibits. I’m excited about seeing it again without the NYC price tag. It’s […]
One of the VERY 1st CDs that I EVERY purchased was Rachelle Ferrell’s self titled album “Rachelle Ferrell” back in 1992. I purchased the album because I fell in love with her voice on “No Rhyme, No Reason” by George Duke, where she was on background vocals. I was infatuated. The “Rachelle Ferrell” album didn’t […]
I found out Mayer Hawthorne’s latest single, “A Long Time” yesterday while visiting Soulbounce, where the fuss was about the video. The video is a compilation of clips from the ghetto-famed Detroit dance show, “The New Dance Show.” As a teen, I used to watch the “New Dance Show” on channel 62 all the time […]
Yesterday, I had a pretty crazy day, which included a long ass meeting, Bravo Bravo & a conversation that flipped me out. The conversation was on Jill Scott being in town for an event with a local radio station. My heart stopped, I couldn’t ‘breeve’ right and all of that stuff. You see, Jill Scott […]

While the festival boasted an all star line up of 25+ acts across 5 stages with the likes of Felix da Housecat, Carl Craig, Loco Dice, Soulclap […]
Last year, I said that it was my final time attending the Detroit Electronic Music Festival as you may recall. Well, I’m back to say that I lied because yesterday, I was one of the 34,820 event attendees. I’m photographing the event again this year & I have a different attitude and approach. I’m focusing […]
One of my favorite blooms to see & smell this time of year are those of the magnolia tree. Every time I see a magnolia tree, I get a little excited. The bright colors & intoxicating perfume just send me! The flowers while beautiful and smile inducing also remind me of the song “Strange Fruit” […]
I heard this song for the 1st time last September during the MAXAZRIABCBG show at Mercedes Benz Fashion week. I loved it & should have gotten the name and artist back then but I was kind of shy (it’s true).I heard it few randoms afterward but it wasn’t until yesterday while watching TV that I was […]
