And I'm rising up... Phoenix Rising...Watch my wings spread as I rise up!

Jamila

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do? When you have a gift or gifts within you, don't be afraid to bring them to the surface and share with the world. It doesn't matter how old you are or where you are in life. Every day is an opportunity to fulfill your dreams so just go for it!

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? Currently I am promoting my first single release called “You Tried It”. It's gotten a lot of positive feedback on Instagram and TikTok. I also released “Phoenix Rising” which is a song that speaks to the core of this music journey.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest? Truth and authenticity are very important to me. Everyone wasn't born to do the same things or act the same way. Differences are what makes a person special. Being put into a box or constantly being marginalized takes away from the beauty of an individual. Listening to the message and the feelings being expressed in the song is where the true treasure dwells.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? I would like to acknowledge and show my gratitude to God, my ancestors, my family, Vibake Entertainment (Levi Baker), Aplaz Management LLC (John Baker), ATL Black Room Studio (Xavier Ivey), and all my friends and supporters that have shown me genuine love from day one.

SM-What is the inspiration behind what you do? Music is a powerful form of healing and release. It has always been a part of my life and I have been blessed with the ability to turn pain and life challenges into a soothing and melodic sound. I believe that the world can benefit from these songs and now is the time to share these healing gems.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future? Live performances and new music releases!

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? The biggest challenge in my life was just being definitions me authentically and not conforming to the world's definitions and standards of acceptable. I have faced many obstacles due to this, but I am grateful that I never gave up or gave in to those pressures.

Trenton, NJ | General Manager Food Service Youtube.com/PeachMulla @peach_mulla

Peach Mulla

I was born in Morrisville Pennsylvania at 7 years old, moved to Lawrenceville, New Jersey where I attended School until I was 13. When I moved to northeast Philly and attended Martin Luther King High School at age 17, I moved to Trenton, New Jersey but since age 9 I have been writing music. I was in the church choir growing up in middle school, but I really became passionate about it in my teens. Through all the abuse I went through as a child and as an adult I put it all into my music to help me cope. Abusive relationships, incarceration, and homelessness all played a major role in my content and music. I have 1 son who is very supportive of my music and career. I am a general manager in food service, but I've always seen myself as an artist. SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do? If there is something you are passionate about don’t let fears, lack of support or insecurities stop you from fighting for anything in this world you want. SM - Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? I've been releasing and promoting my music since March 2022, when I released my first single "Money In The Bag" Ft Poohdah Bagbaby. I have been writing my own music since I was a child. Only recently started to really find my voice. SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest? Honesty & loyalty are two things I value most. They have become very rare and hard to find in business music as well as people. SM - Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? My brother KS Trappington, who is also a producer. Made many of the beats and instrumentals that started me on this journey. SM - What is the inspiration behind what you do? My inspiration comes from life. Music is my outlet for everything I go through. My wants, needs, desires, failures, and accomplishments all go into my writing. SM - What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future? I'm hoping to be called back to perform again in LA for the BET Awards Weekend. Was such a great experience and opportunity. I have an EP that I'm working on that should be released by the end of 2023, as well as two music videos I'm working on as well. I'm not done yet. SM - Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? I believe going through homelessness, abuse, abandonment, incarceration, as well as two near death experiences made me the person I am now. It gave me the fuel and drive that I needed to do more and better in my life.

Love ya self first.

MPReeZ Vee

SM - What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do? If you have goals, achieve them no matter the obstacles that you go through. My daughter taught me that we are a team, look for it on my EP “Food feat. Amando,” much love to all.

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

I'm promoting my brand, my music, and my businesses Lady Vee Oils LLC and LVO Transportation LLC.

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

I don't want to be placed in a box. I'm limited to a box. I want to express me, my creativity, reflect who I am through art! Being detailed oriented is what I hold attached to my (Denzel Washington) personality. That direct, that firm standing up for myself and what I believe!

SM - Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? Dr. Dre (Andre Young) pushed me when I was going through my illness. He gave me a reminder of what I stand for and while I still have my legs still do what I need to do! I love you Andre Young for it. Also shout out to “414”, sorry I had to return, I'm trying to put us on the map, all love!

SM - What is the inspiration behind what you do? The highest and my family, big on family.

SM - What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future? I have an upcoming smashing album "Not my Favorite" releasing August 29th, 2023. The single will be released within a week, and I just finished the video set to air soon. So, I'm incredibly happy for the success of the album. We also have a holiday album audition Sept 1-5 with Yo Gotti Brother is still in the works, but I know it's going to be dope! A lot of stuff is going on next year in the works, so I'm excited.

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

Being humble during the roughest times in my life, my childhood. It was a devastating life period until I made a concise decision on loving me first. If you don’t do that in life most high and yourself in that order, everything else is toxic. If you’re single, I keep it the same but of course respect the tradition. Everything else falls into place, so people find you first before engaging in any form of a relationship or even a friendship. Love you first and show it and shout it.

“Give your energy to people and situations that are productive to your growth.” – Anonymous

AngelDust

This slogan has helped me in so many ways such as shifting my perspective, my focus as well as it being such a powerful contributor to me learning the value of my time, my craft, my craft and being. Feature Profession and Company's Name singer, songwriter AngelDust, an R&B artist based in Cleveland, has been honing her talents in songwriting and singing since 2015. With a passion for music instilled by her family, who were members of the high school and church choir, and inspired by her musically inclined friends, she has developed the necessary training and skills to propel her career forward. AngelDust gained notable recognition when she joined the local music group CNC, lending her vocals to numerous tracks for group members, as well as collaborating with local Cleveland artists and musicians beyond the city. Her contributions have been widely praised, establishing her as an emerging talent in the R&B scene. In terms of achievements, AngelDust emerged victorious as the winner of the National Singing Star competition in her division in Cleveland, OH. Furthermore, she had the honor of being a featured artist in Krayzie Bone's R&B Live Showcase, further cementing her status as a rising star.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do? Whatever it is that brings the best out of you and is the best reflection of you, DO IT. You matter. Your happiness matters. Transition on from this world feeling secure in knowing you did what you wanted to do!

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? I released my new single, ‘LMK,’ featuring the beautiful Nefertitti Avani, on all platforms approximately four weeks ago on all music platforms! It’s still early in the rollout campaign as well as some things I look forward to giving LMK its rightful awareness, but honestly knowing its worth, I’m excited and on cloud nine. The beat is just so smooth, so sexy and so 90’s it’s a natural reaction to move your body to it!

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest? As I have been building up my brand, I’ve learned that I put emphasis on ensuring anything I do musically, anyone I work with, and anything outside of my music that does influence who I am having to be aligned with my: Creativity, Integrity, Freedom/ Security, Authenticity, Wisdom, Respect and Accountability

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? I give it up to Producers, Since2008 and SmokeFace for working with me through pre-release phase of LMK! They did that! Finally, I went to lay down my vocals at PrnB Jones studio as well receiving the confirmation of Nefertitti laying her vocals on the track, it just amplified the entire song. It’s such a blessing to have collaborated with these talented creatives to bring my vision to life!

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? My inspiration behind it all stems from my oldest brother, Manny. As a child, I recall myself in complete “awe” listening to him sing songs by Stevie Wonder, Lenny Kravitz, Maxwell just to name a few. To this day, “Ribbon in the sky” by Stevie Wonder is my favorite song because of my brother. It was his mannerism, vocal expression, performance, making each song his own that stuck with me for the longest time.

SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future? To see more of me!

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? I am number 5 of 6 kids my mother had, and it certainly was not easy digesting the fact that I’d have to be my own “life support” when it comes down learning who I am, identifying who I am and investing in what I am destined to become. Growing up, it was hard learning that I didn’t have what kids normally have, at times I found myself resenting where and who I physically was. It was until I shifted my perspective, found the positive in the negative situations and learned due to my personal hardships, I am the result of not allowing my situation(s) to determine how life will be for me in the future.

“I’m still up in the studio, I’m working overtime” - iNG

The Legendary iNG AKA iNG

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it. I realized when my music started being my therapy and I was able to release any feeling inside and able to poor it out into a song, that is when I knew that not only could I do this professionally. But I could help bring others together or just help someone that has a personal problem as well. I said all that to say believe in yourself. And keep people around you who truly believes and love you. And never stop.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? Well, I drop a Mixtape called “All Gas No Brake” at the end of ‘22 in December that’s on all streaming platforms. I have a new single out that just dropped called “SO HIGH”. Also have an EP out entitled -BEFORE IT'S DUE -I would describe “BEFORE IT'S DUE” as a late night, smooth, windless type of night drive with the roads empty and you’re the only one out.

SM- What challenge in your life shaped you the most? Number one thing is family. My father always stresses the importance of strong family values. you can't pick who you are related to. He will always say but you can't pick your family. That is somewhat of the reason how I came up with my name. i.N.G - which is an acronym for intelligent Nubian God.

SM- What values are important to you when you think about the kind of brand you want to build? We have had other people who contribute in their own little way. But for the most part, it has been me and my father. He's the person who believed in me before I believed in me. He bought my equipment show me how to use it and from then on, it was no stopping me. I write my own music, Mix and Master it. One Stop Shop.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? Honestly, music has helped me a lot throughout my entire life. Whether if it was to get over an emotional situation I was having or wanted to achieve or accomplish something in life, music has always had a part in me that always been there since a kid. It’s just the way that music itself is made. Like the art of the music and how powerful it is, the story behind it, the process of making it just EVERYTHING about it is what inspired me to write music.

SM- What is one final thought that you want to leave our readers with? I have a project coming out real soon named “I AM LEGEND”. It’s a very special project as far as the creativity that I put into it, the sound, the form of emotion that’s expressed throughout personal experiences and others as well. Can’t wait for you all to hear it!

SM- What can people expect from you next? This is the first time I have been willing to answer this question in the publication. Number one thing was my father being incarcerated for over 10 years. Although he's back now, and is one of the main reasons, I do music that stage in my life ready, really shaped me in such a way. And the death of my best friend, my brother. “Cooper” who I always shout out and mostly all of my songs. Those are the two incidents. That really had a profound impact on my life.

Striving to learn something new every day and apply it has kept her faith in the process optimistic. Understanding that there will be valleys and peaks but as long as she keeps God first and stays true, she hopes to continue to grow & flourish as the unique individual that she is. Not just in music but in life, in general.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do? With God's help there is nothing you can't do. Embrace your journey. Your path is your path. There is only one you. That’s your gift...Love GOD & Love yourself & love others. Always do your best.

I am inspired by what I do is to tell good stories. Bringing a lot of real-life situations to life as well as helping the true serious actors out there. A lot of people want the status as Taraji P. Henson & Angela Bassett & Denzel Washington, but a lot of people don't want to put in the work or does not have the right help. I enjoy helping the serious people.

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

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

Some things that I go through is showing my heart to help people and having some people to use you for their own gain. Getting mad when they can't get what they want. Trust issues is my big thing. I still have many people that love what I do which drowns out the negative people.

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do? Never give up, keep going if you can see it, you can obtain it, don't let anyone put their fears or doubts on you no matter who it is and if it's for you it's for you. You're where you are for a reason only thing stopping you is "you." You can overcome anything. It always gets greater later don't throw in the towel on everything you worked for. Remember while you are doing it whatever’s giving you that drive to keep going everyday hold on to it.

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

I'm promoting my music, something that'll stick around for generations. Speaking art into existence painting a picture so you can visualize what I rap. I want everything I create to have a different feel to it, real rap I’m here to spark the mind doing what nobody has ever done in history. I’m an artist, I’m more than an icon, I’m letting the whole world in to witness a legend being made while focusing on leaving a legacy behind.

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

My brand is built around family putting them in a position to win so they can help someone else win. Money Bag Life it's not just a label I thought of growing in different industries or moving towards a different direction where my brand can actually get the acknowledgment and foundation it needs there’s no "I" in team but if I'm constructing everything alone it is for right now especially protecting the brand to prevent all my hard work from getting destroyed or going to waste I am the face of the brand and I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my brand.

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

God, he carried me the whole entire way none of this by luck all my credit and praises goes to him and I’m going to keep thanking him along the way all my projects are coming from pain, perseverance and to all my loved ones I lost.

What is the inspiration behind what you do?

Being different just being me I want to stand out cause people dying to fit in I want to be able to relate to the kid that’s watching me studying every move I do because I’m considered as one of the greats in his/her eyes I want to touch the soul send chills through the body while sharing my story through my lyrics giving motivation to anyone that’s afraid to be themselves and tell their story but most importantly I do it for my brother I lost a while back and becoming the hero I was looking for in someone when I was a kid.

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

New visuals, unexpected features, different genres, my clothing I can't see that far in the future but what I can say is be aware of everything I'm doing once my EP Touché and Isolated II drops I'm getting in my creative bag I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and I have vlogs soon to be release through the process with important projects and peers.

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

“Darkness” me over coming trials and tribulations everybody I grew up with is all gone, still having the motivation, and running towards the other end of that tunnel knowing it will be light again. Being kicked while I was down, I'm working while grieving. Dealing with family members or people I put my all into go against me being treated like the black sheep just so I can be shaped into the goat, but I don't want that title. My story on why the way I am or who I am today is because of my darkest times being in uncomfortable situations having to isolate myself to prosper.

“An inspirational vision is not a pipedream, give it a chance to mature and reveal it's true potential”

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

Dominique M. Carson SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do? Tips: 1. Keep writing! start writing for your college or local newspaper. 2. Network with other people in your field. No one will not know who you are unless you put yourself out there. The next person in your circle may present your next opportunity, big or small. 3. Take more risks, do not play it safe. You have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. 4. Believe in yourself and your craftsmanship. 5. Constant work on your craft, I don't care if you have been a writer for 5 or 10 years; there is always room for improvement and growth. 6. Do not burn bridges, character is EVERYTHING! You do not get a second chance to make a first impression. 7. Intern during your time as a college student. You will learn so much about yourself professionally and personally. 8. Do not be afraid to step outside of the box, do not be afraid to be weird.

I am releasing my forthcoming book collaborative project, The Whole Entrepreneur in Fall 2023. You can preorder the book in advance. If you're one of the first 50 people to pre-order you'll have an honorable mention in the book and a VIP ticket to the virtual book launch in fall 2023. The next 50 people will still get an autograph copy of my book and a thank you bag. Here is the link to pre-order the book. https://buy.stripe.com/dR67vU3E85bV5JmcMM I plan on writing about my journey as a massage therapist; it will be informative but entertaining. And then maybe when I am 40 years old, I will write a memoir about my life. The title of my memoir would be The Journey from Silence. The title stems from an article I completed for Education Update while I was completing graduate school.

SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? I released my first book, a biography on Jon B, titled: Are You Still Down in Fall 2020. Although published independently, "Jon B: Are You Still Down" was an Amazon Hot New Release in One Hour Biography and Memoirs Short Reads. It was featured in Book Authority's 7 Best New R&B Music Books to Read in 2021. I am currently promoting my new book, "The Whole Entrepreneur." It is a collaborative book that brings together a wealth of knowledge and experience from successful entrepreneurs, coaches, and business owners. With a focus on strategies for achieving success in all aspects of life, including business, career, wellness, and life balance, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to build a successful and fulfilling life as an entrepreneur.

SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest? Throughout the book, readers will find insights and tips from some of the most successful entrepreneurs, coaches, and business owners in the world. From Silicon Valley executives to wellness experts, these contributors share their knowledge and experience to help readers achieve success in all aspects of their lives.

SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? 19 entrepreneurs, including book visionary, Taurea Vision Avant. It has contributed to my success because I am improving my skills as a public speaker. Along with myself and 19 authors, we're learning to speak effectively, and how we can sell our books prior to launching and once the book has been officially released. I am so eager to work with Taurea and her team for my future books because I am always eager to learn and how to generate more revenue as an author outside my work as massage practitioner.

SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? I discovered that writing was a gateway to my healing process when I was about nine years old. I suffered an asthma attack that I nearly lost my life. It was a wakeup call for my family and myself because kids can be stressed out emotionally as well. Stress can sabotage your body only if you let it, you have to be in control and don’t take life over consume you. Therefore, my temperament would change once I jot down my feelings and emotions. I can control my thoughts or not have a filter when I am feeling despondent and vulnerable. My love affair with writing began on that day. My mom and my fourth & fifth grade teacher were concerned with the technical adjustments such as reading, writing, grammar, & extensive speech services since I was hearing impaired for the first four years of my life. As a result, I entered different contests and I was an honorable mention before I was a teenager. Instead of acting out, writing became my tool when I needed emotional support and encouragement metamorphically. Rebellion can only go but so far so it was a necessary implement when I had those Quique’s moments in my life.

SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? "The Whole Entrepreneur" is a must-read for anyone looking to build a successful and fulfilling life as an entrepreneur. With its practical advice, inspiring stories, and comprehensive approach, this book is sure to become a go-to resource for entrepreneurs and business owners everywhere.

“I am raw but fashion and will change the landscape of music with my art.”

EXCS EEZE

SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do? Love peace and prosperity to all. I am telling my story through my music. It isn’t about how much money I make or how far I go. It is for the lives that are going to be touched. My message is to never give up on yourself or purpose. It will give you a forever unsettled feeling in your soul. There is no true pretense of time so use yours forever creating your reality. The only time we sin is when abuse thyself. SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? Music career and purpose. I have been involved with music since I was a child. I have sung in choirs and was a part of band as well. I started recording myself at 15. The most recent album I dropped was I.D.F.K YET (INDIFFERENT DEGREES OF FORCED KNOWLEDGE). It has been my most successful thus far in my career. Successful videos and streaming were due to the marketing applied by myself and music management group Good Guyz. SM- What’s unique about this that separates it from the rest? I am a one-of-a-kind experience. I have an eclectic style and sound diverse and unorthodox. With my talent I have the potential to expand and reach uncharted plateaus I am raw but fashion a conscious trap embodiment only of self. SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? My most recent project I.D.F.K Yet (INDIFFERENT DEGREES OF FORCED KNOWLEDGE) consisted of a lot of hard work and studio sessions. I recorded it at Morning Star Studios and Studio 420. For starts the cover art was a dream (maybe vision) that woke me up one night. I painted it and asked someone what they thought. When they asked me what I thought it was my answer “idfk yet”. So, I kind of ran with that. But on a deeper meaning I thought of many things that lie on false narratives. As well as with the style of an artist that I am it reflects in my art. It’s the harder way for me because people are so accustomed to specific sounds it blinds them from the heavenly glory of creation. It limits their ear to a pre adjusted box. The many influences of my musical plethora are also shown on a high note through the entire album. Lyrical feel good music with a message like only I could deliver. It was a legit grind till the very last moment to finish but I am proud of my works. SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? My family, the sacrifices and hard work I put in. Almost dying in a car crash the same day my grandmother died to cancer. Vowing that with my second chance at life I would be relentless with my purpose. All my ancestors and loved ones before me. Rich love of heritage and love of self. SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future?

I am currently working on two albums. The first one is called Excs Files. The second one is a nontraditional R&B album. I have a big show coming up on December 16, 2022. The On Fire Part 2 Show. It is going to be an everlasting experience. SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? The Virginia music scene is so deeply rooted. Predecessors before us left big but achievable footsteps to stand in and surpass. Torches are meant to be passed with that leaves our music scene wide open. The talent ranges in many ages creeds and backgrounds being Virginia is a melting pot. It’s like we are an up north state with southern tendencies sometimes. I feel we get lost in the pattern and identities of other states. Which can be good and bad. As well, so much talent causes different groups with the same goals pursuing it in different lanes. Competition is great. It breeds hunger and desire hence some of the best music being created. And I know for a fact it’s coming from my state. SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers? Heartless King Ent was put together by my brother Deandre Boykins. He passed away in 2020. My brother Spaceman Kizzy who is the Heartless King President, have carried the mantel since. With our hard work through show performances management and distribution his memory remains eternal.

Short Creek, AZ | Musician, Songwriter, Singer, Pianist, Performer www.marjimozartband.com @marjimozartband @marjimozart

Here I Am, World!

Meet, Marji Mozart!

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

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

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.

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.

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

Tolga Katas Follow Meet, Marji Mozart! on social media

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.

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.

If I know you, I grow you.

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.

Dallas, Texas | Actress, Singer, Songwriter-Allura’s World www.itsallurasworld.com @itsallurasworld @itsallurasworld

“It’s my world you’re just living in it.”

Allura’s World

A

llura 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.

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.

Athens, Alabama | Jamon Turner Muzik www.jamonturnermuzik.net

My Beatz Bang.

Jamon Turner

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- 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- 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.

“WHAT’S POPPIN”

Dallas, Texas | Rapper, Owner-DEM $EXY LIPS

MILLIONDOLLA CA$H

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.

@officialtraevis @misterklapback @travis.canady.7

“If you stay ready, you ain’t gotta get ready.”

Traevis

Traevis is an American author, rapper, songwriter, and actor, born, and raised in Fairfield, Texas. At the early age of five, Travis was inspired by entertainment. Music was the first thing he grew interested in. However, he would not begin his pursuit professionally until 2010. Two years later Travis signed his first major record deal with faith-based label Tate Music Group. At his time at the label Travis would release three albums and would achieve National Airplay Chart success for the song, “Save Me” reaching number 12 on the National Airplay Top 50 Christian/Gospel Chart, and number 23 on the Top 50 Pop Chart. In February 2015 after his tenure with Tate Music Group, Traevis would sign with Texas based independent record label Tru Allegiance Entertainment and would also become the company's Junior Vice President & Marketing Director. 6 months later, Traevis would achieve incredible success with singles; Where Did We Go Wrong, Your Love, and I’m Going Home. “Where Did We Go Wrong?” would win the Akademia Music Award for Best R&B/Electronica Song. “Your Love” would also win an Akademia Music Award for Best Hip Hop/R&B Song. And “I’m Going Home” would reach number 14 on the National Airplay Top 50 R&B/Hip Hop Chart, and number 50 on the Top 50 Pop Chart. The song would also win the award for Best Male Performance at the 2015 Dogan’s Big Broadcast. After five years in the music business, and achieving significant success, Traevis would then decide to take his writing, and storytelling to another level. It was late 2016 when Traevis began to work on his first novel entitled “Augustine”. He completed the writing project a few months later. Shortly afterward, his work was well received, and in 2018 he landed his first publishing deal with LitFire Publishing. The novel “Augustine” would go on to sell over 250,000 copies worldwide. In the year 2019, Traevis would launch his film production company, “Standalone Films”, and would begin his acting career starring in four films, and in three theater plays at the historic Palace Theater in Marlin, TX. In the year 2020 Traevis would make his return to music releasing the single, “Delilah” which would gain amince success winning the Seraphim Music Award for Best Christian/Gospel Song, Travis would also win the Best Christain/Gospel Artist for that year at the awards show. The song “Delilah” would also win The Akademia Award for Favorite Christian Song. For over a decade Travis “Traevis” Canady has entertained thousands of fans in music, movies, books, and theater plays. He has won multiple awards, achievements, and honors. Although there have been a few setbacks and detours along his journey of entertainment, Travis’s relentless motivation and drive to succeed at all costs, makes him one of the most discipline and pristine performers in the world today.

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- 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- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? This is valuable to me because it's my time. The time I get heard and must be heard. I have fans and the right team that's behind me all the way it just isn’t me. SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers? The album was engineered by my bro Krazy K, he pushed all the buttons sometimes I recorded when he had to do a verse but when it comes to bringing the art to life it all goes to my bro for real! We put our blood sweat and tears into this, but we have fun, and every track is a hit so whoever is listening, will get their money's worth and can also learn something.

Miami, Florida| Founder of Intelligently Chilled (Clothing Brand) https://intelligentlychilled.myshopify.com @Intelligentlychilled @intelligentlychilled

What’s “Your” Intelligently Chilled?

Dwight Thomas SM- What message are you hoping to get across to the people by doing what you do? I want the clothing that I make to mean something. I don’t care to just sell; I want to bring hope. I want to bring connects. I want to raise so much money to each cause. I want to bring awareness to causes we’re still trying to figure out how to cure. Breast Cancer, Leukemia, bringing awareness to LGBTQ+ communizes having to deal with suicide, child endangerment and protection, ADHD, mental health, Autism, domestic violence, addiction, HIV and AIDS awareness, etc. When people see that huge colored brain on your t-shirt, I want them to know that is the color you stand with while being Intelligently Chilled. SM- Tell us about what you’re promoting and the details around it? I'm promoting who I am amongst others. Really grasping the authenticities of what we consider are our chilled moments, fashion and just the idea of keep having to explain what type of person you are and what you like to do. It's so many ways to explain intelligently chilled. SM- What's unique about this that separates it from the rest? I used authentic a lot, but it describes what we're doing in every way. It's fashion and cause. I want to make a shirt for everyone. Who says a woman going through her worse pain with dealing with Breast Cancer for example and having to go through chemo every day cannot be Intelligently Chilled? Baby you're that and so much more. SM- Who was a part of this project that contributed to its success? The process has been a lot. Especially with the connecting with different groups and organizations. Mostly finding the right people to connect with and donate to. I would include a good friend of mine that gave me the idea while we were in conversation. Until this day she calls me Mr. Intelligently Chilled. Shout out to Tamarra Chauvet. SM- What is the inspiration behind what you do? I love fashion and I love being who I am. For some, being who you are doesn't resonate until later in life. Especially the younger generation. With social media, peer pressure and trends, authenticity has been put to rest. True creators are the people flourishing. The people who seen as crazy. I want everyone that it relates to, to feel welcome. It’s a brand that’s for everyone. SM- What are some other things people can expect from you in the near future? My specialty tees will just be t-shirts and I want them on every digital platform and on shelves so look for that. The three featured shirts that I have may extend them in 2023. This is only the beginning. I am open to ideas. This is a brand that represents us. SM- Why is this so valuable to you? And why now? Between the three featured designs we have, Intelligently Chilled, Respect My Growth and our Definition of Intelligently Chilled. The part of me that loves to give back and make a stand for things I decided to make Specialty t-shirt's. I have about thirteen causes I give back to where a certain percentage of each t-shirt sold goes to a nonprofit, hospital, or research group of its cause. For example: Leukemia Awareness Month is coming in September. All shirts sold for that month will be donated to an organization of my choice. We will highlight it’s cause and the organization. Same for October and Breast Cancer Awareness Month. If Breast Cancer Awareness Month means something to you and your family, you can feel assured knowing you’re styling a beautiful shirt and at the same time giving you a great cause. If the cause doesn't move you and pink is your favorite color, you still get a great shirt. For me I love pink, it's my birthstone color, I'm an October baby and I'm a breast man lol. That's 4 reasons for me. SM- How was this put together and how does it benefit the consumers? Fashion and wanting something that represents me besides having a clothing brand. I founded a nonprofit organization called Thomas for Them Inc where we reunite the homeless with their families while also feeding and providing essential items to survive. So, it has always been my desire to give back to my community. Why stop there? I believe in so many things and I decided to spread my love for other desires of change that mean something to me.
