WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok...I'm tripping. I haven't updated my blog in a minute. Now I got to recap a whole week worth of info. I'll start with today. I love my internship at Verve. I work in the A&R and International department. Well today, my supervisor and I had to pickup some folders at Jam paper store. While shopping I saw this light-skinned woman in the next aisle. She looked sooo familiar. I couldn't help myself, I had to go up to her. I asked her, "Did you play Hillary on the Fresh Prince?" She replied,"Yes I did. Hi, I'm Karyn. You have good eyes." I guess she didn't think anyone would recognize her. Karyn Parsons!!!!Y'all she was soooo nice. It's really cool when a celebrity is cool and down to earth. I was tripping out.
It's been wonderful up here in NYC. I've been enjoying every bit of it. I've been going to concerts and open mics almost everyday...well not everyday, but it seems like it. I went to the Sugar Bar, a venue owned by Ashford & Simpson. It was a really cool place. I'm going to perform at their open mic one of these Thursday. Last Wednesday, I went to SOB's, the place where John Legend got his start. Eric Roberson, the cat who wrote "Previouscats" for Musiq and "Emotional Rollercoaster" for Vivian Green was hosting the show. It was amazing!!! Sol Edler, a soul cat from Washington, DC performed that night. He tore it up. We had previously met through Myspace. He is really cool people.
Chester Gregory, the star of Tarzan on Broadway performed his set. The man is amazing. He had amazing band, backup singers, and songs. The cat can blow!!! I had to go up to him; I wanted to learn from him. Y'all know I'm all about learning from those who are doing what I aspire to do.
Now this is funny, I met a group of people that I've been communcating with on Eric Roberson's forum. They were all at the show. They were soooo cool! They made me feel like I was family. God is hooking me up!!!! *the picture of us is at the top of this entry.
Last but not least, I just got a call from Chester Gregory. He wants me to do this gig in Brooklyn. I was a little nervous, but I had to just say yes. God didn't give me the spirit of fear. He told me that he will take care of getting my band assembled. Ain't that crazy??? God is doing His thing!!!!!
Well ya'll, I got to go. Y'all know I can talk (lol). Leave me feedback; I love feedback. Pray that I continue to obey God and remain concecrated to Him. Pray that God would bring some amazing Christians in my life. Pray that I be a light in the darkness of the music industry.


Peace,
