Volunteering, 360 D Radio, Teen Summit and More!

After a two-week delay.....I’m back. With everything that has rolled out and is rolling out in the near future, it’s sometimes hard to be able take time out and blog. But without further ado....I’m back.

I want to first say thanks to all of the people who express their enjoyment of me working with the Texas Teen Summit. Since I was a teenager, I’ve always wanted to be a role model and/or an example to other teens. I think the Texas Teen Summit will allow me that opportunity. I’m definitely excited about it and can’t wait to get started!!!!!

By time you read this, it has been announced that CWC Entertainment Group, LLC. is sponsoring the 2007 Texas Teen Talent Explosion in Houston on October 20th. I’ll be helping with the audition process as far as relaying information and letting people know where to go for the auditions. For Dallas, it will be at Singing Hills Recreation Center on September 1st and we’re have another audition process for teens out in Fort Worth on September 8th but the place for the auditions is still undetermined.

This week, it was also publicized that 360 D Radio is becoming our Online Radio Partner for The 1st Annual High School Hip-Hop Showcase™. I’m very exciting that we were able to come to terms. 360 D Radio and its website 360DRadio.com is dedicated to bringing exposure to independent Hip-Hop and R&B artists in North Texas. The 60 minute commercial free show is also played on Pegasusnews.com, OKRP.com in Oklahoma and HipHopSoulRadio.com in Dallas. So with our partnership, we’ll be able to hit different markets. You can start hearing commercials about the showcase starting next summer!!!!

Also, when it comes to teens, I believe I’m in the midst of something big involving basketball and high schools. Of course, like any good executive, I can’t fully discuss what is not official. If more comes out of the situation, I think its going to be great for North Texas Teens.

I’ve had two back-to-back Saturdays of Volunteering. I assisted Buckner Children’s Home in sorting school supplies for kids and served food to the homeless last Saturday at Salvation Army Carr P Collins Social Center (August 11). I than volunteered at the Back School Drive that Buckner Children’s Home and Cliff Temple Baptist Church had in Oak Cliff, Texas this past Saturday (August 18). It was great seeing the smiles on those kids’ faces as they picked up their school supplies and received brand new tennis shoes to wear at the beginning of the year. The kids that attended also received free check-ups as the parents were whisked away for mini-seminar explaining how they can receive additional financial support (i.e. Food stamps). While I'm not trying to bring on my community service effort but I'm trying to show that young people especially people in the music industry, DO CARE ABOUT THE WORLD AROUND THEM.

At the end of every blog, I'm going to answer one of the questions that I've been emailed since I started this blog over a month ago. I received an question in an email from someone asking: Because the music & entertainment industry seems to be a 24 hour job, do you get tired?

The answer to that question is Yes and No. Without trying to get all hypothetical, I’ll state that the music and entertainment industry has “its moments” but at the same time “I’ve just begun and have a lot more to do before I can call myself tired.” Sometimes I feel like I’m carrying the world on my shoulders.

There are times I think did I choose this life or did it choose me? I mean I’m never at home; I don’t really have a lot of time for a social life. Everything with me is business, business, and business. I just want to take a break but I know I can’t. I have far to go but I’ve come too far.

But the thing is, every time I’ve questioned why I keep going on the pace I’m going, I think of my team especially Chris and Ke’shun, I think of my family, I think about all of the people I care about, I think about all of the people who didn’t get to achieve their dreams. It’s after those moments, that I realize this is the life for me and I will be successful.

As always, it’s been great being able to reveal my weekly thoughts and industry experiences through these blogs. I’m thankful of all of the emails I’ve received regarding my blog and look forward to future comments and questions.
