It's not what you do it's how you do it.

YNS SOLO

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do? That you can chase your dreams, and you can recover. I want to show people that it is possible. From looking at crumbs of drugs on the floor sniffing coke through a straw cause I didn't have a dollar to being in the studio and paying for features and interviews. I'm still not sure how I’m doing it, but I want to show my people that you can become who you want to be.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? I'm promoting my single Losses ft YNS LAVISH. Now on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Mu sic. It’s about to be the most viewed song out the 517. I'm sure I can't say that someone might get upset. I have big dreams.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest? I'm not capping or nothing. It's from my heart. It's deep-down secrets and feelings. It's hard to put that on my songs and then show my friends and family but I still do it. Authenticity has always been important to me. While everyone else puts a front on like life is perfect and everyone is happy, the difference is I tell the reality. I never had a brick, but I had packs in my sock I never had hella bitc*** but I had a few who***. You feel me.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

I can't fit everyone’s names here. Most important God, my momma, rest in peace mom ma. My Boss Henry Meyer, for his wisdom and support. My Best friend Jerrell for being one of the first people to play my music openly ha-ha. Britt houze for helping me get ready to record the song. My big homie STREET. My manager YSN LAVISH and all my homies that play my music. Can't forget about Kaz the producer behind it all. Everyone helped me a lot on this. I couldn't have done it without my people flat out

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

I am not sure. I googled what inspiration means but I still don’t really understand how to answer this. My soul my heart. I don't know. The pain the struggle. I'm not sure if that makes sense.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future? We are shooting the music video for Losses right now. It's kind of a secret at the mo ment, but I'm working on a few songs, real bangers. Something for my friends down at the club, something for my homies on the block, and something for my homies on the clock.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? Because it's my way out. It's my only option. I don't know another way that will dramat ically change my life and my family life at the speed music will. I been making music for years and years in the bathroom at school or the bathroom at work. I put out my first song to my momma and she loved it. After she passed away things where very hard in me emotionally. I was doing cocaine like crazy and drinking. It took me almost two years to pull myself back together. I been sober about 4 months and this was the first song I made since I got clean. This song is my life on a beat.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers? So, one day I just messaged Lavish asking him for a ft. He texted me back. He let me do payments on the ft. And took me to my first studio. Kaz was very helpful too, he had to count me in because I didn't know when to start. I think consumers will really appreci ate this song because its relatable. A lot of people deal with addiction like myself or at dealing with the loss of a loved one. I feel like many people pay rent and are still lonely. This song really is fire. I hope y'all check it out.

In my music I promote the importance of chasing your goals and never stopping till you get them. I also have uplifting songs that promote the idea of staying true to self and being yourself. All this stems from the family business “Go Get It” which has been around for years in my household. It’s help mold me into who I am today. Go Get It!

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest? Well, I've never liked putting mu music in one genre, I believe my music to be good enough to be in multiple genre's. Because I want God's music to reach everybody, not just a particular set of people.

JOHN

SMOKE a John West Jr. Film hits July 2023. John West from the hit tv show Martin and New York Undercover, set to bring a blockbuster action hit film to life entitled “SMOKE.” West, a film producer, actor, and director is bringing to life a mostly 85% percent lady cast together in this nonstop action film. West’s film is directed by Segrin Phillips a longtime friend and business partner from Miami, Florida. Phillips also has a film entitled LUST which he wrote, produced, and directed which West plays a role in it as well. West is no stranger to Hollywood. After guest starring in a few hit TV shows back in the day, West decided to direct his own film entitled BARBEQ and put in theatres across the USA and overseas without major distribution and when there was no social back in 2000. No person has ever been able to fund & direct & distribute their own film in theaters back in the late 1990’s or early 2000’s when there was no social media or without distribution. Besides other films, West has starred in and produced, SMOKE will have a few big names and some great up and coming actors to bring some intense fire to West’s Film. West is a native from Chicago but currently resides in the Los Angeles area will have SMOKE to come out of Atlanta, Georgia. Without giving away details, SMOKE will entice the films, Takers; Den of Thieves, Ambulance, and Set it Off, to a whole different level in July 2023.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? I am promoting my upcoming film “SMOKE” slated for July 2023.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? The inspiration behind what I do is from actor and friend Martin Lawrence, giving me my first break on the hit TV show Martin, and a few other things.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

This film SMOKE is so valuable to me because of the story behind it. The concept and not to give too much away it features mostly ladies. This film is the kind of film that has not been done yet.

SM- What’s unique about this that separates it from the rest? What’s so unique about this that separates it from the rest is that this film makes up about 85% percent of females and its more action packed than many other films that you have seen.

SM- Who was part of this project that contributed to its success? The person that was part of this that contributed to the upcoming success is the actors as well as Segrin Phillips the director and good friend.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers? This film SMOKE was put together with my own funding like my previous films.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

The message I hope to get across to people in what I am doing with Indie Films, is that they can also do the same thing on a bigger platform. I say this because of what I did back in 2000 when there was no social media, and it was hard to get a film out there. I was able to take my film BARBEQ and put it in select theaters around the USA and other countries without a major distribution company. Even though I was able to fund this film myself. This film BARBEQ was also my 1st film starring in and directing and producing.

SM- What can we expect from you in the near future? What people can also expect from me in the future is that I signed a distribution partnership deal to have all my films on several platforms where I still own the rights and see how the money comes back and from what areas around the globe.

Owner of Culture Factor Media LLC

If You Can’t Beat for The Culture, Join for The Culture! Erica Scales

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

I know this may seem crazy for some, but the keyword is to “fail.” If you have the capacity to pull back and learn from every experience, you will stand out from the crowd of individuals who aren’t developing and continue to make the same mistakes over and again.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? We are promoting an independent news media company which includes news content, celebrity, local celebrity, and local business interviews. We established a show called “Culture Factor Exclusives” and we interviewed our first interviewee and rap artist name Montez Wilson in May of this year. We are looking forward to interviewing more artists and business owners.

SM- What’s unique about this that separates it from the rest? What’s unique about it that it’s a media company owned by a woman, a Black woman. Kathy Hughes and Oprah Winfrey had opened those doors already for Black women. Having clear cut goals is really important because I want my projects to go in the right direction. Your work might be good without goals, but it will lack direction and forward growth.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? God, my family, and friends encouraged me to stay on track and not given up from what I’ve started. The amount of support I’m getting is immeasurable. I’m forever grateful and looking to the future.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? It all started when I attended film school while living in Charlotte, NC in 2014. I conducted my first practice interview for an assignment for class. I had fun asking lots of questions to the interviewee. I’ve been interested ever since.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you soon? Expect us to continue to help our community the best way we can. We will be pitching new ideas, producing more news content, interviews and working with established and upcoming business owners and celebrity/ local artists.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? My company is valuable to me because I time-manage and dedicate myself to my work. I must make plans and make changes to the plan. I work on identifying and strengthening my weaknesses. That way I can improve in significant ways, allowing me to progress at work.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers? This business was put together with a plan but I’ve already experienced working in the entertainment business with film and music producers. I’ve worked mostly behind the scenes. I would like to use my platform and help others to promote themselves since someone helped me.

Songwriter and producer Brent Anthony Carter, known as Brxnt in the industry, has been stealthily revolutionizing the sound of music for years. The Austin, Texas native has composed for and/or been featured for artists such as The Game, Young Buck, Pusha T, and more, and is now producing for himself and expanding onto the music scene as a solo artist. Making waves with his versatile style, Brxnt bounces from hard hitting sounds of Rap, to the rhythms of soul and R&B, definitely making him a contender as one of the most innovative artists out right now.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

I want my message to be that it’s not always about the music. It’s about everything around the music. The music is the cherry on top. As artists, we got to get back to caring about the whole thing from top to bottom, not just dropping music and going about my day.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? I’m focused on promoting my music and everything else around it. Lotus XII isn’t just a management company. The Brxnt brand is far more than what is seen to the naked eye. I’m finishing up my new single “Rockstar Lifestyle” at the moment and our aim is to bring a dope experience to audiences around the world and be new and diverse.

SM- What’s unique about this that separates it from the rest?

What’s unique about “Rockstar Lifestyle” is that it’s something different from any of my other music. The crazy thing is everything sounds amazing in its own lane. My team and I decided to release this one because it’s a great introduction to me and what I can do. It’s about the way it makes you feel when you’re listening to it. I like that.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

My team. They support my will to keep creating. They allow me to be me, and they work like scientists to make sure that whoever is listening gets the full picture. From my managers, publicists, agents, organizers, all the way down to my assistants. Everyone is valuable from top to bottom.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

I love music. I love that my failures are just as important as my wins. I remember being young and being inspired by everything. From playing the drums and singing in church to the way my mom used to randomly hum rhythms walking through the house. I’ve always been “in tune” with how it made me, and others feel. It’s my cheat code.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future? Expect me to work with your favorite artists in the world. I have a few inspirational songs, something for the soul heads and the ratchets. There are many sides to me, and I aim to exploit that. Commercials and ads in general. But on another level, be sought out by some of the cream of the crop. I’ll always be here even if I’m in the background and I won’t be stopped. I’m here to stay.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? I’ve always wanted to add more value to everything. I don’t play with people’s taste, and I see that too much is going on around here. I sit back and pay attention to the young and old in the game. That will always be in me not on me. Now, it’s a better time to be alive and make dreams come true. It’s never been about what I need. It’s always been about what I can give and if what I do is still valuable, I’m going to do just that.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers? It was the collection of music. I had been working on some records over some time. I’m instrumental in the music creation part of the beat, writing, engineering; everything. My catalog is crazy, and I can’t wait to present it to the audience and the folks behind the scenes looking to work with me as a writer or producer. It’s beneficial to those that listen because there’s a little bit for everything. Younger and seasoned people can tweak to it and enjoy the vibe. I’m a vibe and there’s always a message in everything to help others get through, like other artists got me through.

“Always on family business it’s Lafamila 4 Life” MR. WORD

My name is Joseph G Word, I am from Southern Illinois (Carbondale Illinois) I have lived in a lot of different states and places. I lived in Kentucky, Chicago IL and then moved to Minnesota! I have absorbed a lot of different cultures and styles that I have adopted and made into mine own style. As the C.E.O. of Lafamila Records that was initially conceived in 1999 between 1999 and 2022 I worked to develop my craft as an artist and focused on learning the necessary business skills. As of December 2006, Lafamila Record received all tax forms and legal paperwork necessary to take the business to the next level and move into the music industry.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

Good question. Well, I can say that no matter what never leave your dreams if you have a dream go for it. But I will say that there will be a lot of obstacles that will come in your way, but I asked you, how bad do you want it? I as an artist has a lot to bring to table. We have fresh concepts and bold in your face type of energy to uplift and to adapt and overcome your creativity freedom and enjoy your journey as I have all these years and I do not regret giving up on my dreams and I do not regret listening to people who has not gone anywhere with their own lives.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

The goal is to develop ideas that will be utilized in producing a positive and profitable product which meet the demand of the Adult Contemporary Market. Lafamila Records is dedicated to developing positive images of African Americans instead of the reckless performances that is being portrayed by some established artists. Also, to have an artist in every area in music not just have Hip Hop and R&B but also in Country Music and have overseas artists as well. My goal is to be the first international Black owned record label!

SM- What’s unique about this that separates it from the rest?

With today’s technology, people can find large varieties of music as well as musical outlets faster than ever before. So Lafamila Records will assure that the products we make available depict positive role models for young people. At Lafamila, we will follow some of the promotional and marketing models of some of our competitors, for example, Lafamila Records will utilize the marketing techniques of traditional and grass-roots actions now with the side of Internet apps unlike our competitors, our content is not like the rest! Lafamila will sponsor and organize community outreach programs, such as talent competitions, educational workshops, and open forum events. These programs will target youth, adults, families, and communities of color. Lafamila Records has performed for live audiences to gain an understanding for what types of products our demographic is seeking. Lafamila Records will utilize many and maintain a variety of promotional tools to distribute our product. These will include but are not limited to the use of the Internet, I-pod, V-casting, cell phones applications, movies theaters advertisements, television commercials, magazines spots, roadside billboards, neighborhood papering, posters, radio spots, product placement, community sponsorships and live performances.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

Out of all my different people who I have worked with were the ones that didn’t work out if that make sense! So, meaning I have run into fake producers, fake artists but I never gave up the fire for this the people who has helped they wish to remain nameless, but they know who they are, and I love and appreciate all of them

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

In the last twenty years, the Adult Contemporary Music Market as well as the black music industry has been recycling older and non-positive stereotypes in relationship to producing and marketing quality music I have always adored music of all areas from Hip Hop & R&B to classical music how I was raised was to never stay closed minded stay open to new music, new people and enjoy to journey to the destination and I have been on his journey for 23yrs and I have learned the business and also worked on my craft as well.

SM-WWhat are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

Finishing up the Ep Joe word from the 618 to the 651, working on a short film for my Ep that will be released shortly I do not have any shows set up as of yet but you can also check my music out on all platforms we just getting started and I’m loving this new level of my dreams now. I’m going to sit and enjoy it stay tuned also sign up for my newsletters on my website so when there are new updates on shows you can be first to get tickets when I hold raffles you can get a VIP discount. So much, don’t want to give out too much but stay tuned. We will be here for a very long time!

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

We here at Lafamila brings forward new, more positive message regarding the changes that need to be made in the African American community as we move forward into the future. The popular videos tend to represent the abuse of money, the objectification of our people of color and have no respect for our ancestral history. These videos show reckless behavior and demonstrate a general lack of responsibility. Lafamila will bring more forward thinking into focus for our young people by giving them more positive options.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

It took a lot of time and energy I took a lot of losses for my dream. Since 1999 this dream was birthed in my soul. I have followed music for a very long time. I held on for 23yrs and God brought my dream to past, how you may be asked? Well before my mother was called home five years ago, she would always say God will test you to see how bad you really want your dream I took the steps and walks by faith but going thru the hard times, the mocking, the backbiting, thru life throwing its hands in the fight per say the stress of not having the money. Stressed not having the resources but to wait on the Lord but what they don’t tell you while you are waiting on your moment you must work in the background and that’s what I did. Had my life but still held on to my dream. And brought it to past with my story I want the consumer to be pleased with real concepts not just talking about killing anything all the time, with telling my truth, my story it will show that one. never give up on your dreams and if your music is truly fresh and hot like a great pizza, then it will sell itself!

Mr. SwagNificent

In May 2015, Jonathan launched his DGPU Dark Gable Productions Unlimited Brand. This is the aggregate of all his learned management, promotional, social media, and red-carpet service expertise (during his Ambi’ance Magazine LA/ATL stint 2011-2014). His “Rip-The -Runway’’ red carpet approach has been a game changer in the world of fashion and entertainment. In June 2015, he began Managing/Consulting with the “Real Nail Qweens, International”, up and coming plus-size model sensation, “Just-So-Jazzy” Johnson, “The Gable Girlz”, and the dirty South’s rap sensation, “The Carolina Henchmen”. In June 2016, as an only child, Jonathan suffered his most devastating setback to date when he lost his mother, Nellie Mae Fields to cancer. It was during this period that Jonathan decided to take a sabbatical from the rigors of Hollywood and returned to his east coast roots to assist with the transitional and grieving process needed for him and his family. In 2017, Jonathan officially returned to the West Coast (Mesa, Arizona) and began to re-establish himself as a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment community. One of his first projects was to re-establish his business and prelaunch the first of two avant-garde magazines. He projected 2018 to be the debut of his long awaited X’treme Nailz International Magazine. He would later relaunch his Ambi’ance Magazine ATL/ATL under the new title of Ambi’ance Uncut. Jonathan has been an advocate for many of the unique and unsung women’s movements of the 80’s and 90’s. He is a lifelong supporter of those in need of bipartisan support such as the gay, lesbian movement of the 80’s, The fledgling plus-sized modeling trend of the early 2000’s and today’s beautiful women with long or extreme nails. The X’treme Nailz Movement is today’s hottest new personal, and fashion trend (not just in the U.S., but in Europe, Russia, Asia, and Australia) where there are so many amazing stories and testimonies behind these long-nailed divas Jonathan has been waiting to create this platform for over twenty years now. He is not trying to exploit these individuals or jump on some fetish bandwagon (this is truly his manifested destiny). His vision officially launched with “Fly Fashion Nails” on Facebook in 2009. That immediately turned into an interactive blog site. He also had “Fly Nails” on YouTube, which quickly grew to 20,000 hits. it was then that Jonathan knew there was an interest in these amazing X- Nailz Divas. In 2014 his Facebook page was changed to “Internationally Fly Fashion Nails “to acknowledge and showcase those women from other countries who were following his site regularly. Because of the demand and newfound acceptance of this movement he felt the time was right for a tangible platform to allow both the X-Nailz Divas and their followers to thrive and DARE 2 BE DIFFERENT! In 2020 the first Issue of X’treme Nailz International came off the press and in 2021, we announced that one of the premiere legends of X’treme Nails, Ms. Lena Cole would be our Brand Ambassador and face of this platform. Meanwhile, Ambi’ance Magazine ATL/LA who received a facelift and renamed, was relaunched in 2020 to accommodate the increased demand for underground musical talent, plus-sized fashion events, community/political functions, movie premieres, CD & book signings and X’treme Nailz soirees. Jonathan is the proud father of four: sons, Jonathan William Fields III, Jordan Isaiah Reyes, William Rashad Fields and daughter, Jaelynn De’ Challon Fields. SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do? We want to produce a brand and or platform for you. How you ask? By incorporating state of the art PR, marketing, social media, and In-house publications we keep you relevant and ahead of the curve.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? “Dark Gable Productions Unlimited LLC” previously known as “Ambi’ance Magazine-ATLANTA/ L.A.” believes that creative marketing and PR is the key to success. It doesn’t matter if you’re up-and-coming or an established star, sustainable “Hype” makes long profitable careers.

By utilizing unconventional marketing, insightful exclusives, fierce red carpets, and talent referral brokering systems we can support and implement your efforts. DGPUL has become the undergrounds hottest fashion, entertainment, comedy, and social events vehicle.

SM- What’s unique about this that separates it from the rest?

Dark Gable Productions Unlimited is the only vehicle that uses all its resources to help those that “Dare 2 Be Different”. It gives the unsung a feel for marketing, promotion, and exposure, not to mention the confidence to elucidate their dreams. Exuding confidence is paramount to one’s ultimate success. Coupled with an understanding of H.O.F (hard work, obsession, and focus) you will reap life changing results. It’s been said, DARK GABLE PRODUCTIONS UNLIMITED is fast becoming the “arvangard standard in underground social media expression and Motivation.”

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? Although this started as a spinoff from a nonprofit organization I once spearheaded (Believe & Achieve Foundation, LLC) DGPU is truly a collective of business minds that came together to collaborate and create. Some notable members of Team X’treme are Marcella Ladym Phillips, Michelle Stackfield, Terri Stevens, Deborah Frew, and Linda Houston.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? I wanted to implement an individual platform for our clients that’s not only sustainable but conducive to diversity within their chosen field which will potentially attract collaborations with other lucrative entities.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you soon? Currently we have expanded our platform to include a couple of reality show sizzle reels. One of our potential shows will focus on the creation and implementation of a DGPU like business showcasing the behind-the-scenes difficulties that go into entertainment entrepreneurship. The other vehicle will focus on the X’treme Nailz Diva Phenomenon. These five billion dollars a year business has always been prevalent overseas but recently has begun to flourish in the US. Specifically, we will talk about everything “X’treme Nailz” from Cardi-B, Megan De Stallion, Love & Hip Hop ATL to some of our home grown X’treme Nailz Divas like Lena Cole, La Rue Drummond, Ana Otano, Elena Shilenkova, Lawona Coley, Melody Wilson, Cordelia Adams, and Tonya Mcclinton just to name a few. This once taboo expression of self is ready for showtime exposure check out of X’treme Nailz International Magazine.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

Because the mainstream publications and or promotional vehicles only pursue and edify the A-List and established stars. The unsung, unground, grassroots and up and coming need hype too. That’s why we are known as the “PEOPLE’S PLATFORM.”

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

Another thing that makes our vehicle invaluable to consumers is the diversity we bring to the table. Our members provide everything from event planning, fashion and talent broker ship, publication expertise, social media branding, purple carpet services and public speaking. Our staff is also representative of the LBGTQ community as well as African American/Hispanic Women Entrepreneurs.

CYNTHIA

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

My message is don’t let people tell you no, because remember everything is possible with God. I want to help and give a message to those who are going through any bad situation. I went through a lot and almost died so many times but fought my way out that bad situation. You can do or be anything in life. Remember you are a somebody important!

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

I’m just trying to get myself more out there and it’s not for fame but make a statement on domestic violence victims like myself that was told that I’m not good enough not pretty enough, who’s going to look at a disabled porker like me.

SM- What’s unique about this that separates it from the rest?

Honestly, I never thought that I would be a magazine model, this opportunity came to me. I just had a regular job, but to be out in the public eyes it’s strange to me because now I’m sharing my story.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

I started with Curvicality as a weekly model, a special shout out to the CEO Mary Beth Cooper and after I met Vero from Vero’s Spotlight Magazine and Jason aka The Boss who have been so wonderful and with their help and guidance honestly, I don’t know where I’d be. I have so many people whom to thank especially my three kids who think mom is the coolest! The special person who has been with me since day one and I owe him everything and that’s God without him I’m nothing, I’m truly grateful and appreciated.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

From being in a bad situation and turning into something positive and my motivation are my three kids. After being so sick and hospitalized for many years and someone who kept fighting each single second, day, never stopped fighting for what I believed in and that’s myself.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

I’m going to be in a music video and a documentary coming soon and who knows what else is going to happen in the future, but I’m very blessed for the opportunities that have come my way and I’m truly grateful.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? I believe that many people put people down and it’s wrong we should lift each other up and come together. After being verbally, mentally, physically abused a lot of words stayed with me and opened wounds, but with me sharing my story I can help so many people. Domestic violence is very close to my heart that’s I just want to help as much as I can especially if children are involved which breaks my heart because not only did, I experience this, but my three kids did too. We must learn how to speak up and not fear standing up for yourself and your kids.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

I’ve done everything on my own, but after Jason has helped me along the way cause I’m not good at opening pages nor a lot of this computer shenanigans, I just try my best to get things done.

Here I Am, World!

Meet, Marji Mozart!

SM- Tell us what you’re promoting and the details around it?

Mozart was born and raised in the peculiar FLDS cult, where “outside” or “worldly” influences and holidays were strictly prohibited— including Christmas. Though Marji was playing the piano and performing since she was the age of 2, and writing music from the age of 8, she was not allowed to write, play, or sing any music except under the dictatorship of the cult leaders. Marji was able to fully leave the cult about 4 years ago.

The small town where she grew up, known by the group of FLDS as Short Creek, AZ, (also owned by the FLDS leaders) was not a place where almost all of the people were able to enjoy a traditional Christmas. So, since she was able to leave, Marji has made it a point to bring an annual Christmas show to the now very different, very changed town where she grew up, and share the joys of Christmas through her music.

Her upcoming show, Marji Mozart Christmas Special, is a formal and open to the public show. It will be held on December 16th and 17th, at the Holm Heritage Center, in Hildale, Utah. You can visit, www.marjimozartband.com/ calendar for more information.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

Marji said, “when ever anyone asks me this question, memories of my amazing mother come to my mind. Before she passed away from cancer, she touched so many lives with her music. She was a musical genius who was also a songwriter and music teacher. Often, I would see her using the power of music to bring people together, and that is what inspires me to this day.”

SM-Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

Marji said, “As I mentioned earlier, music has the power to bring people together. Music is without borders, has no race, doesn’t care what you believe or don’t believe

in, nor any other ideology that so often divides us, as human beings.

When people are at a concert, enjoying the music, living in the moment, we aren’t so focused on all that divisiveness. We’re just going with the flow of the music.

I feel it is such an amazing gift to have the ability to share my music with the world. Because, in today’s world, I feel that music is exactly what we need.”

SM- What’s unique about you that separates you from the rest?

As before mentioned, Marji is a survivor of the FLDS cult and abusive relationships. Because of her musical skills, she was the songwriter and arranger for the FLDS choir, but was not able to write from her heart and desires.

Now that she has been able to get out of the FLDS, she has been able to write what she truly feels— freedom, anger, happiness, sadness— and in her music and performances, her audiences have expressed how they have felt magic while she’s on stage.

SM-What is the message you are hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

Marji said, “The message I would like to get across is for anyone who have been in, or may still be in, an abusive situation. There is hope for you to get out and live a beautiful, happy life. You are not a bad or weird person for what has happened TO you. You are not alone. Please hold on. You are loved.”

SM- What can we expect from you in the near future? Marji Mozart is in the process of recording her first ever, publicly released all original album!

Sign up for emails on Marji Mozart’s website to stay up to date on her album updates, live shows, and exciting announcements of some collaborations coming up.

Marji Mozart!

Allura’s World

Allura of Allura’s World is an American actress, singer and songwriter from Dallas, Texas. She brings her own brand of style and wisdom to her music. Allura has a deep love for life and a strong desire to make an impact in the world through her art form. Her music reflects her own journey and is undeniably emotional and honest. Allura’s sound is a unique blend of Pop/R&B/Soul with a hint of Hip/Hop. The fusion of these music genres is coined, “The New Dallas Sound.” Her admiration for several artists from the different genres is accredited for her distinct artistic combination. Allura has always had a heart for the performing arts. As a young girl, she found her passion in dance and never looked back. She’s studied various styles over the years, but always comes back to her discipline of ballet. In addition to dance, Allura discovered her talent for singing while performing in the IMPACT Youth Choir. She performed in countless productions with The Black Academy of Arts and Letters. Some of her favorite roles have been as a featured dancer, actress and singer. The talented artist has always been different than other girls her age. Allura didn’t play with Barbie dolls or Nintendo games as a child. Instead, she wrote song lyrics and short stories. And rather than dreaming of one day being a fairytale princess, she aspired to be more like Raven Symonè, who is also an actress, singer, and songwriter. Allura’s maturity costed her years of adversity from her peers. The difficulties she faced is responsible for the strong, independent, and bold woman she is today. Allura has always had a passion for music, but it was society’s expectations that led her to pursue a degree in speech and language pathology. After graduating from Texas Woman’s University at the age of twenty, Allura decided to pursue her true passion and launch a career in singing. She is about serving up empowering lyrics and relishing her ability to connect with her listeners. She uses her platform to impact the lives of her fans and is an ambassador for women’s rights. She is committed to promoting confidence and self-love. Allura is a role model and encourages her following to be their authentic selves. Allura is making a name for herself in the music industry already. Her debut single, “What’s the Move,” was well received at a private launch in Dallas, and her follow-up EP, “Happy Birthday to My Ex,” has been making waves on the internet. The single “Windows Down” charted on iTunes Top 20 and “What You Wanna Do” charted on iTunes Top 100. Both songs also trended on thousands of popular playlists. She followed up her

initial success with the release of several music videos and numerous singles on all major streaming platforms. Allura is currently working on her debut album and “Absolutely Not, the Podcast,” a spin off from her TikTok content. They are both scheduled to be released late 2022. Stay tuned, you have a front row seat to watch the live journey of this new artist as she takes to the streets to make her dreams a reality

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

Taking time for yourself is necessary and not something we should feel guilty for. We work hard each day to maintain a life that we aren’t even living. Disconnect. Spend time in nature and take care of yourself. At the end of the day, you are all you have.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

I am promoting my new music video from the single, "Bet, I Gotchu". I released the single around this time last year and my fans thought a video should follow. Only a year later we have released a lyric video and the official music video for “Bet, I Gotchu.”

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest?

This single is different from my previous singles because it’s one of my most vulnerable pieces. It talks about the feeling of loneliness and the feeling of wanting to flee from the world that surrounds me just to get a break. Like most artist starting out, the struggle is real. I fought with releasing trendy, popular music versus vulnerable, soulful music that’s authentic to who I am only to realize that authenticity is what matters most.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

I have so many people to thank for making this single a hit. I worked with a great producer, co-writer, vocal coach, and videographer. I would also like to thank all my wonderful supporters and street team for their help with the success of “Bet, I Gotchu.”

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? Bet, I Gotchu was inspired by the need for self-care during such an overwhelming time. We hear and see our world falling apart every day and we can’t shake the feeling of running away, but we can put a band aid over it with a little self-care.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

I am always working on new music so my listeners can expect more of that, but most recently I have been working on my recent creation, Absolutely Not the Podcast, a spin off from my TikTok content. Absolutely Not, is normalizing the standard. We are bringing all the uncomfortable convos and creating an unapologetic space to drive the culture forward, respectfully. Cause it seems like everyone wants to keep their opinions in the comment section.

SM-Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? This single was written by me for me. It serves as a reminder to myself that self-care isn’t selfish, it’s necessary. It’s okay to break away from the norm and focus only on you. Releasing “Bet, I Gotchu” now is so important because the world as we knew it is changing right before our eyes. In many cases not for the better, there is so much anger. Personally, I believe that we all can benefit from a mental time out, occasionally.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers? This song started out and was originally recorded as an up-tempo pop song. When I went to the studio to re- record the hook it was raining, and I remember feeling inspired. I was on Instagram live practicing the timing and tempo with an acoustic guitar to keep my pace and my followers asked me to try the whole song that way, and it never sounded better.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

Never give up. God didn’t give up on you.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? I’m always promoting my music, new and old no matter what. But I’m releasing my new album Survivor Series because I’ve been thru a lot but I’m still here. All praise to God’s grace on my life.

SM- What’s unique about this that separates it from the rest?

The thing about me is I’m different from everything and everyone because I don’t sound like anyone that you ever heard. I’m Bobby Womack and Nate Dogg put them together you get Sauce that’s my motto. I just come to move your soul with real life stories I’ve been thru. My situations I’ve experienced might be able to help someone who is going thru what I went thru. Plus, I’ll never give up on the dream I’ve built ever because I got people in high places pulling for me.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

This album was a great success and will always be a classic because I always stick with the individuals I’ve did my music with. Never forget where you come from ever. Very special Valedictorian, R. E. DDUB, Ghost, Hershey Drip. Appreciate you guys for making this project possible.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

I get the inspiration for what I do because of everything I’ve been thru in my life. The good, the bad, and the part where sometimes I don’t even understand I just trust God and trust the process because everyone has their own journey, this is mine.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

You can expect to see me because I will never stop. No end to the trend.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

Doing my music has never been more valuable then now because of my confidence and passion is way more impactful now more than ever because the thing is you can’t talk about anything you haven’t every been thru in life. And why now because timing is everything. If you can’t respect time, you can’t respect anything.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

I wasn’t even working on this particular project I was working on another, and this all just came to me. I like different things like wrestling and things, but I was thinking about everything I’ve been thru in the last few years; losing my dad (Busta Brown) Covid-19 in six days and my producer Jeff (JayMadeIt) elliptic two months from each other. It been two years since they pass so I just remember how much they believe in me and my passion for this so I can’t ever let them down or myself ever. But I got an eight-year-old daughter, and I will always hold her high no matter what I will leave her a legacy to remember if nothing else. And this will always help someone in their life because it’s just my journey and I’m trying to make it the best way I can. Nowhere but up.

Jamon Turner

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

I mean everybody has a talent. Making music can be easy or it can be hard. We were put on earth to serve a purpose. So, if you are out in the world making music keep doing it or if you want to make music or produce, then just do it.

Born in Cincinnati Ohio, Jamon Turner A.K.A “Truebeatz” is a music producer and beatmaker. Jamon started off making beats using a Sony PlayStation game called “Music Maker and EJay Club World” in 2004. Jamon wanted to take his music making skills seriously, so he starts using the software Fruity Loops 8 and moved to the greater Huntsville Alabama area and turned his mother's garage into a studio where he’s currently producing his music. Truebeatz produced R&B and Hip Hop beats for upcoming artists around the world.

Truebeatz spiced up his skills and started landing tv and films placements with the hit tv shows “Keeping up with the Kardashians” and “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.” Jamon Turner instrumentals is playing as background music in stores worldwide and online music platforms. Truebeatz is pursuing many more tv and films placements throughout his music career.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

I'm promoting my latest beat album called "The Star Seeds" which is in the genre Lofi Hip-Hop vibe that you can vibe to you want to chillout and relax too. Also, I'm working on a 90s type R&B beat album as well. I think that’s what the world is missing that 90s vibes.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest?

I try to keep my music sounding different from everybody else’s. A lot of my music don't sound like what you hear on the radio today. I still have a 90’s or early 2000 vibes, so I guess that's what make my music separates from the rest. I just want to be different.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

I would say my family played a major role in this project. I see and hear the type of music that they like, and I try to make my music similar but in my own sounds.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do?

I grew up listening to Jodeci, Boyz ll Men, H Town, and Silk, I loved how their beats were sounding and how they were putting words to the beats. That really inspired me. I just love music period. I love artist telling a story or their story their pains and struggles on a Hip Hop Beat. Nas and Tupac were great at it, so I sampled a lot too.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

Maybe one day I can get together a R&B male and female group just like how it was in the 90s and the time before then. But most definitely I will be putting more of my music and beats into tv and films.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now?

It's valuable to me because music moves the soul and hearing music that I can relate to or uplift me is valuable. Peoples need music to get them through the day.

SM- How was this put Wtogether and how does it benefit the consumers?

An up-tempo beat or song can make a person feel better if they are having a bad day or going through what life is throwing at them. I feel like my instrumentals or beats can help them get through whatever a person is going through, or my music can make you feel relaxed while you're shopping that's how I think it will benefit the consumers.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

The message I want to get out to the world is that it's about being beautiful inside and out and being who I am as a human being.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

I am promoting myself as a model from California.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest?

I fell right now is the time to shine and push myself to get to the top and be the best I can be.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

Myself. I started from the bottom and now I'm here putting the work in and pushing myself over the years.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? I am the type of person who always push to get to the top and work hard and accomplish for more things to come.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future? They can see me doing more music videos, photoshoots, magazine shoots, hosting events,

being on tv shows, acting gigs coming out with business opportunities, hairline wigs bundles, makeup line, I have my lash line called Love Jones Collection Minks, also my podcast Fasholy Her.

I feel this is the right time to step out and accomplish things that I been waiting to do as a model and a businesswoman. And now is the time to push and grind and things will pay off.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

It benefits the consumers because they get to see something different that I'm bringing to the table.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

The message that I hope to get across to people is even though it is lonely at the top overall it is peaceful. Keep grinding never stop. Shoot pass the stars go to infinity and beyond. Stay consistent and never quit.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

I am promoting my music with the hottest new sound. Music a person can relate to, not the murder music that we have going on in today’s time. I am also promoting my cosmetic business that I own called DEM $EXY LIPS. I am big on beauty and skin care so I decided that I should launch my own cosmetic line. I have all kinds and shades of lip gloss from nudes to browns, pinks, reds, the clear and I offer wholesale. I am currently in the process of making a matte lipstick and gloss along with a men’s beard-wash collection. I have more to come for sure.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest? All music is relatable, and I am real rapper that has bars and be saying some real talk that is what separates me from the rest because a lot of people really can't rap, they just sell sex. As far as my lip gloss, all my products are natural 100% hypoallergenic and guaranteed to provide moisture and shininess to DEM SEXY LIPS without all the thick greasiness texture.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? As far as music my engineers that record me and my videographers that films my videos, I would say that is a part of my music success. And for my lip gloss business my ex helped me start it by purchasing my first shipment for me to start selling to the public. I will not mention names I got to play it safe no face no case like Cardi B said.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? My inspiration behind music I would say Master P No Limit Soldier inspired me at a very young age to become a rapper but as I got older, he also inspired me to become a business owner as well by watching his interviews on YouTube. Then one day I just thought of what product I could sale with me being a female rapper I am always around beauty products so in 2020 I was like boom there it is sale cosmetics like Rihanna. I started my cosmetic business and haven't regret it since.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future? In the near future please be on the lookout for new music as well as music videos. I have a new single called “HOL UP” that I am about to drop soon as well as my cosmetic line expanding and new inventory coming soon.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? Both businesses are so valuable to me because I can leave my seeds with something and build generational wealth especially if you a person like me growing up with no one to teach you about the corporate world and its benefits.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers? Every time I drop a new song or new music video the fan's reaction be awesome and as far as my cosmetic business goes, every client that has purchased cosmetics from me tells me my products makes them feel beautiful.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do? That with anything in life, you’re going to fail, and you’re going to fail hard. Failure is part of success, and I've failed more times than I can count. And find your purpose, what are you on this earth to do? What can you do to make you happy and feel complete?

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? So, I'm currently gearing up for my monster single entitled, "Today" which I had the honor of having Sticky Fingaz from the Legendary Hip-Hop Duo, Onyx as my special guest as a feature on the track. Yes, it's a Christian Rap song but the lyrics aren't typical nor predictable so expect to be blown away.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest? I feel music nowadays has become extremely watered down and not as impactful as it was in the past, you turn on the radio and you hear a bunch of the same moods, lyrics, and sounds not any versatility or actual talent, I come from an era where you had to blow people away and leave them in awe and that's how my music stands out.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

Probably Stinky Fingaz, I mean the record is awesome regardless the message hits as well as the lyrics and wordplay, but having a Hip-Hop Legend attached to it brings it to a higher level.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? My passion for the art and creativity. It's such an awesome feeling being able to sit down with just a pen, paper, with a beat in your head, and within minutes come up with words out of nowhere. And after you’re done you feel so accomplished it's addicting.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future? More music of course, I've also took a little break from acting so expect to see me back in films, and on stage in theater plays soon. I'm also a part-time owner of the AFFL (American Flag Football League) so expect me on the field as well, watching my teams not playing!

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? It's my heart and soul, it's in everything I do, it's now or never I have that attitude about everything in life.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers? God. The ultimate creator, he brought the beat that stayed within my mind, he gave me the words to write down to it, following my voice to bring it to life. Consumers won’t be just jamming to just any song but would also be inspired by it as well, it’s a 1,2 punch!

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers? This project is a slice of my thoughts and life's experiences. It benefits the consumer by exposing them to my world.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

Facts!! And more Facts!! But I’m big on that. When it comes to facts a lot of people just talk. In this age of social media anyone can post a thought make a video or just comment at will but, who is really dropping facts? A very select few. Knowing that’s what me and Zito take pride in, it was easy to put together a platform for raw truth Sunday’s Live on IG. That’s a complete open platform to all people worldwide giving the most diverse view and that’s the goal. Awakening people of all cultures and colors the opportunity to join the The Get Righteous Podcast Family.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it?

We are promoting The Get Righteous Podcast. The podcast is a universal platform where we talk about any and everything. We speak truth to power and base our topics in facts. We open our shows to our live viewership on Sundays at 8pm EST on Instagram to go live with us and contribute. All are welcome. We've shed tears, laughed, debated, gave access to free financial literacy courses and much more.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest?

The live aspect is big separator! Everyone usually sets up, talks into a mic and that's that. With us, going live with our viewership is freakin' wild card! You never know how folks are coming energy wise. So, we adjust on the fly and navigate. We also were picked up by Power 109 Radio on the west coast recently, which is wild! The fans love it and the growth, at least that's what the numbers say!

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success?

We both agree, the podcast wouldn't be what it is without the fans. The live ones, the ones who view and listen across all the platforms. It's them, always them. Sure, we can wave the MVP flag for both of us, but being self-aware in this game is everything, If the fans didn't show up week in and week out, we'd have nothing. We wouldn't be sitting here talking to you, that's for sure. So, shout out to all the fans!

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? Creating a space for people to come to, kick back and get the world off their shoulders for a bit. Whether you want to contribute to the show by going live with us or light the comments up , it's all welcomed. It gets a little wild sometimes, but it's a complete vibe and is very much needed these days.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

Things to expect in the future I’m a say this, get ready for a city-to-city podcast tour which should be the first ever!

Our supporters and podcast family I believe would love that. When it comes to me and Zito there is no telling what we have up our sleeve. But I will say this, we do have some raw and uncut material (content and music) coming soon, so definitely stay tuned!

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? For us, it's all about continuing our elders' work in new and updated ways. We both are cut from amazing stock. Our elders are local legends. Our collective families are well known because of them. So, with the podcast, it gives us a chance to reach out and continue to build in the community, the same way they did. Our platform and businesses help us to continue to keep their memories very much alive. Why now? Why not now? More importantly, why not us? You know? We got now, and we got next.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers?

Honestly my cousin and I have been doing this tag team thing for a while now. From studying different history and facts on truth, in the studio perfecting our music and entertainment skills. So, when it came to the podcast it was just a few conversations on how we see things going and to make sure we give the people as much authentic truth and facts as we can while keeping the facts diverse. That way we reach everyone! Meaning no matter what you believe in or what truth is to you there is an episode or video on the Patreon that fits you. Giving us the opportunity to reach all crowds giving them the benefits to open their minds to a whole new world when it comes to subjects around the world.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

Never give up regardless of if you have no help or encouragement. When you have zero positive role models you must teach yourself to become your own role model. Remember it's imperative to treat people how they are not how you want treatment. And last but not least G.S.M!

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? My music and record label. It started off as a passionate hobby ending up becoming a career. The only active independent label in my region.

D.M.E The Resurgence was released January 17th of this year. DMS part 3 released on May 2nd along with several videos released and more scheduled to release D.M.E street buzz is clearly undisputed for the year 2022!

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest? I'm brutally honest with each lyric and I'm doing it all on my own! No sponsorship no endorsement no label deal. I can guarantee my sound isn't and spin off current top tier rappers. No lying on my rhymes is also one of my slogans.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? My beautiful wife, Never Not Working, 2 Time Productions, TKMN and Eldrick Cobbs.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? My late mother and poverty.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

Live performance October 14th in Houston, Texas at the Numbers Club. A new mixtape named Parvenu October 31st. A new video called 50 Ball November 26. Live performance in Atlanta in December.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? Because I'm valuable! My music is a direct reflection of my mentality and my energy. My thoughts are alone worth great value so why not share the wealth? The answer to second question is time is perishing at an astonishing rate so it's now or never. I been had next up it's my turn.

SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers? Starting in 2008 between legal troubles and death it was extremely rough. However, I persevered and overcame all odds! Simply put I had to trust the process, stay down until I came up and manifestation is how I succeeded.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do?

If you don't give God love your time tune into your inner being and solitude works.

I am a Digital/Mixed Media Artist. I come from Planit-X (which embodies my creativity). I was born of Haitian, African Bantu, Chippewa, and Irish Ancestry. I came into physical form on 4-2-95, in Columbus, Ohio. I gravitated towards music and art at an early age. Music, especially, because of my grandfather, who was a "Blue's man" from Sunflower, MS.

I started sketching and weaving in school, and I remember often taking that home with me. My mom gave me the affectionate epithet of "Picasso, she said, "Your world is your own, let people see what you see." Tragically, she was murdered by my stepfather when I was seven. After that my siblings and I were taken in by my grandparents, and thus, the creativity was allowed to spill forth in Chicago, where I finally grew up.

Artistically, I am heavily influenced by Anime, Erotic Film Actresses, and old rock band album covers, as well as Lloyd Kaufman, 80's music, like Blondie, The Blues, Das Racist - virtually anything that isn't blasting from anyone's car. It has also been told to me that my art is "TRIPPY," and yes, each piece has something behind it, even its own life.

I have also been a resident artist at Art Studio Miami for the past five years and have recently been asked to do a piece on the northern-exposure of the roof of L.M.N.T (a local art gallery) visible to passersby on the I-195 highway. I have also worked with the artist Kehinde Wiley on his "Faux Real" exhibition, and with the gallery Deitch Projects on the piece titled, "Morfene," which was exhibited in the Art in America Magazine 2004, April issue.

SM-Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? In this sea of rappers and artists we as people can get overwhelmed with cookie cut sh** which is cool. I MELLAH J want people to know there's more to life and music than material dreams. And that's what my EP is about it's titled "Either Love ME Or Leave Me Alone" We all over stand that even if music has a sound or message that we may or may not agree. That doesn't mean I have to emulate that cause I want to be popular. or get a check. Our gifts feed the masses in one form or another whether close direct or indirect in the words of Mr. Simmons you may not like so and so but he feeds people; I get that There are more sounds on the Akai than Rollin 808$ and hard hitting synths for your next club banger and that's what my art and sound is about INDIVIDUALITY That's what the game is missing.
