In The Spotlight Vol 2 The Sleep When I'm Dead Pt 2 Tour mixtape

Well I released the second volume of my In The Spotlight mixtape.  This one was like a concept cd.  I wanted to do something for Billy Lyve more than just be the official photographer for Wisdom Court and to basically put a shine on artists that I hadn't been familiar with before doing the tour.  I took submissions from artists that performed at one or more of the tour shows that went from Herndon, VA to Centreville, Md on the Eastern Shore.

Some I had no idea who they were or even if I was going to like their music.  I receive 15 tracks and had to listen to all of them and try to piece and part them together.  For me it was about how is this track going to fit with the track before it and how would it all flow.  Now I don't claim be be anything but a lover of music so I put things together like I like them.

So I finally got all the tracks and put them together and it just so happened that my godsons were at the house and this is a video of the 1 yr old vibing to Country Haze and Jay Bruno's Str8 East Coasting.





My whole reason for even doing the series to give people a chance to be heard by people who have never heard of them.  Trying to help in ways that maybe no one else is willing to help!!

So I hope that some at least go and take a listen if not download!!  There are 2 links!! Thanks to everyone who has my back with the things I try to do!!  It is truly appreciated!!

Benefit for Brandy and Yuk

On September 1, 2011 at Sonar, a benefit show was put together for Yuk aka Mr. Livewire who recently celebrated the birth of his daughter Kaylee only to lose his wife at the same time. So the out-pour of compassion, love, concern and caring started with well wishes and offers to try and help this now single father of 4 through messages on Facebook as well as face to face at events.  Tay Tay of Tayland Promotions then put together a benefit show where the space at Sonar was donated, the flyer and djing was donated by DJ Jabril and everything that was taken in at the door went to Yuk and his family as well as people donating clothing.

The performances were picked by Yuk.  He wanted it to be a celebration for Brandy and that's what it was!! The night ended with Yuk performing and the last song was the one he wrote for Brandy after she had passed.  As I looked around I could see tears in the eyes of a lot of people. 

Sometimes it's not about you but someone else who may be going through things worse than you!

If you are interested in helping you can contact me, Tay Tay, or Yuk for more information!  

Below are just a few of the 517 pictures I took that night!  Even if you aren't a friend of mine on Facebook you should be able to see the pictures!!
