Networking is Key ... Everything else is irrelevant!
Being able to build my professional contacts and networking circle within the industry of entertainment public relations is a must in order to successfully market my name, brand, blog, ideas and creative ability. Over the past few weeks I have been in contact with the founders of the singersroom.com, BET affiliates, industry professionals, event planners and PR specialists, who have provided me with information of how to be successful in this competitive industry. Having the opportunity to attend the 6th Annual Jazz in the Gardens festival in Miami Gardens, FL as the official Singersroom.com representative was indeed an experience. I was able to experience first hand of how the media, press and event coordinators play a huge part in the behind the scenes activities at events and concerts.
One person in particular that I had the pleasure to meet was Byron Edwards who was apart of the event PR coordinating staff. During the event I watched him closely as he made sure that everything went smoothly between the artists and the media. After speaking with him and exchanging contact information, I still wanted to know more about him. I later found out that at the young age of 24 he is currently working with BET and their award shows along with Axiom 2Fifty Seven Group on various PR projects with big named celebrities.
“I got to where I'm at through networking, volunteering and internships. I've been fortunate enough to be placed in situations that I have been able to leverage into other opportunities. As a freelancer, it's always important for me to remember that my current job could allow me to find my next job. Also, building relationships with media outlets is the key to PR. - Byron
"Within PR you are ALWAYS working and the more journalists you are friends with, the easier it is to get your stories placed on websites.” - Byron
Hearing this from a young, black, professional has truly inspired me. Along with being apart of an event of this caliber and affiliated with one the top online magazines, Singersroom.com has truly been the best experience thus far.
However I understand that I may have a long way to go and its not all going to be easy, but it feels great to get my face out there, network, gain contacts and establish business relationships. This will be beneficial in assisting me with future negotiations with future clients and PR agencies.

6th Annual Jazz in the Gardens Festival 2011 - Day 2
Musiq Soulchild opened up the Day 2 events off very nicely. I was truly impressed by his live vocal ability and interaction with the crowd. I was tickled that he was so tiny... but he has a such an incredible strong and powerful voice. He sang hits as "Just Friends" to "Love" and closing with his new single "Anything" ... great performance! Very humble and down to earth guy!
En Vogue truly showed out! They warmed the crowd up with a melody of various old school R&B hits. And of course performing their own hits such as "My Lovin (Never Gonna Get It)", "Free Your Mind", "Don't Let Go" and they showed off their rapping skills while performing "Whatta Man". These ladies didn't miss a beat, they definitely still have it!!

Being able to interview En Vogue was indeed exciting and they were extremely inviting and sweet. Being in the presence of true divas was absolutely amazing!!
I am smiling so hard in this pic!! LOL

6th Annual Jazz in the Gardens Festival 2011 - Day 1
Day 1 at the 6th Annual Jazz in the Gardens Festival was more than amazing!! Just being apart of an event of this caliber was overwhelming but I truly had a good time and I was soaking up every minute being VIP in the media tent and much love to the SINGERSROOM for making that happen!!
Nycole Whitney -- (Singersroom VIP Section)
Nycole Whitney (Singersroom) Interview with Lalah Hathaway
The highlight of my day is my interview with Lalah Hathaway .... (YES!!! My first official celebrity interview...yay Go ME!!) but she was so sweet, humble and had such a warm and inviting spirit. My nerves and gitters went out the window and I "killt" it ... I may be just made for this!!!
Didn't get a chance to interview Al Jarreau .... all he wanted to do was use the bathroom!! Lol... but he is too cute and I loved his performance ... ok I lied .. I wasn't paying attention!
Vendors and Food EVERYWHERE I was convinced I was in "FOOD HEAVEN"... but I died laughing at the the "Collard Greens and Rice" sign!!!
Pork Chop ... Fries... and a shit load of GREASE and Ketchup = $10
The look on my face after she told me the price = PRICELESS
Heads of State (Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill)
and yup... I got to ask the first question!!! Go me!!
Heads of State performance was great .... Bobby Brown was actually quite tamed besides the infamous "tongue flickering" (O_O) ...yes Johnny Gill is still sexy and Ralph Tresvant is still too cool!! They still got it =)
Charlie Wilson aka "My Uncle Charlie" is the definition of R&B for sure... I was completely in awe during his performance. Every note, adlib, harmony and dance step was on point. He didn't miss a beat and kept me singing along and on my feet the entire time. I was so into his performance that I didn't even take one picture of him =( But it was totally worth it ... a lot of these new R&B cats need to take notes from Charlie. He is a true seasoned artist and the control he has over his voice is amazing. His band was great, his dancers were on point, and his back-singer (his nephew) was a beast!!! Best performance of the night!!!!
And the moment everybody was waiting for ..dun ..dun..dun.. the one and only Lauryn Hill. After being fashionable late (almost 1hr 30 mins) but I admit, she indeed put on a show!! She switched her style up a bit, it was cool but I just wanted her to SING and chill out with all the chanting and rapping. But of course she performed her all her hits, paid her respect to The Fugees as well as the late Bob Marley. And I personally thought her band was TOO loud and it was very hard to hear .... but nonetheless she was dope!!
Her outfit was odd but fly at the same time and only Lauryn Hill could pull this off!! Loved it!!

Gucci Covers Source Magazine!!!
Gucci covers the green issue of SOURCE magazine ... and from the grill, to the foolish ice-cream cone tattoo, to his grey lips .... I can't ... I just can't. LOL
When I came out of school, I had a 3.4 GPA,” said Gucci, who went to Georgia Perimeter College. “I was always a smart guy. I always prided myself on being a challenger and making challenging decisions. I’m not perfect, but I definitely try my best to be a good person that makes wise decisions.”

Tsunami issued for at least 20 countries!!!!!
Ok so I am officially scared!!! Sirens sound off in Hawaii and Tsunami warnings have been issued for at 20 countries after this massive earthquake!! Including the United States!!!
Read Details Below:
Authorities in at least 20 countries and numerous Pacific islands issued tsunami warnings Friday after an 8.9-magnitude earthquake struck Japan, the National Weather Service said.
The wide-ranging list includes Russia and Indonesia, Central American countries like Guatemala, El Salvador and Costa Rica and the U.S. state of Hawaii.
Authorities in the U.S. territory of Guam said a tsunami could hit the island as early as 7:09 p.m. (4:09 a.m. ET). Sirens sounded in Hawaii around 10 p.m. Thursday (3 a.m. ET), warning residents they could expect tsunami waves five hours later.
In the Philippines, the government issued a warning for 19 provinces along the coast, possibly affecting hundreds of thousands of people. A tsunami could could hit by 6 p.m. (5 a.m. ET), it said.
"This is a very large earthquake. We've evaluated it as about the same size as the earthquake last year in Chile. However, it's much closer to the Hawaiian islands than the Chile earthquake," he said.
The National Weather Service list includes Japan, Russia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia, Fiji, Mexico, New Zealand, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Honduras, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and the United States.
Numerous Pacific islands, including some U.S. territories, are also on the list.
Tsunami waves can travel at speeds of 800 kilometers per hour. The earthquake, initially reported as a 7.8 earthquake, was upgraded to an 8.9 quake.
