Caught up in the whirlwind of LIFE!!!

WOWWWWWWW!!!!! Where do I start?
September 9, 2010 has been a day/night that I will never forget and also one that I am so thankful for. That day is when two 1st month Entertainment Business Masters students decided to go out together for the first time. As I previously blogged about the show was amazing and hanging out with The Nappy Roots was amazing. However, we did not know what was in store for us from just a simple conversation about "what are you planning on doing w/your degree" would turn into a dream job. Not my ultimate dream job but this is definitely a stepping stone to the progress of my life. From that simple conversation with Fish Scales, my classmate/BUSINESS PARTNER Trisha C. and I are now managing Fish Scales of The Nappy Roots. Along with handling all of his marketing for his upcoming solo project we will be working w/Nappy Roots to help develop their Album awareness. Not to mention that we will be handling the managing and marketing for The Skinny & Scales project. All I have to say is GOD IS AMAZING!!! He works in ways you can't even fathom. God has put Trisha & myself right where we needed to be. Now introducing to you to RISING PHOENIX ENTERTAINMENT GROUP-co-founders Aris Blossom & Trisha Connell.

Humbling Experience

Today has been the most humbling experience I think I have had so far in my life. My organization (Full Sail Black Student Union) was instrumental in bringing Nappy Roots to Full Sail University. They did a panel that received an overflow of  questions as well as was introduced to an array of talent. Not only did Fish Scales, Skinny Deville & Big Vito enlighten the students they gave a mini show. No special effects of spotlights were needed.....The eyes of the students were more than enough to brighten up the auditorium in the Full Sail Entertainment Business building. Afterwards there was an impromptu meet & greet, where the students were able to personally go and speak with the artists. Even though time was not permitting they mad sure that they shook the hands of as many students that they could before being pulled away for their next venue, THE SOCIAL. WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Man did they put on a show for the crowd there!!! The attendance was so welcomed and they are truly fan orientated. They are what HIP HOP NEEDS to help revive it, from their story about being college students to life on the road promoting their new album ("The Pursuit of Nappyness"). Tonight was definitely a humbling experience and I am so grateful to The Lord above for putting me where I am right now to be apart of such awesome day/night. Be blessed!
