As part of my blog, I will be interviewing and sharing information with you all about other talented people from my home state and giving you a little review about what they do and are planning to do with their dreams. NO WORRIES, the blogs on controversial subjects and my opinions about what's going on in the world will definitely still be going on, but I'm adding a little twist onto it!
Every month, I'm going to try to share a small portion of Indiana's awesome musicians, artists, professors, dancers, activists, and other gifted people in the Hoosier state with you all!! So let's get to it:
January 10, 2014: Aja Ellington- known as "Bird B"(a nickname given to her since birth)- will be presenting her mix-tape: "The Caged Bird" and performing some of her songs at Smith's Downtown Tap and Grill. Bird B is one of Indiana's female rap lyricists and is working towards her goals while enduring every test and opportunity placed in her path. She will be having guest appearances and performances by:
Wally West and Billy East/East Meets West (Rap lyricists)
T-Krazy (Rap lyricist)
Loud Life (Rap lyricists)
Josh King (R & B artist)
Rex Rogun (Rap lyricist)
All lyrical artists, lyricists, or singers in the state of Indiana who I'll be including in a few of my blogs.
Despite the assumptions that you may have about Bird's dream, her biggest goal is to become a social worker for youth with special needs. She states, "My lyrics come from the heart...some of my songs consist of topics that I am not comfortable with", and later states that although some people may perceive her as being "less genuine" for her lack of comfortability, she makes the music for people that listen to that type of music which is, in fact, an immense amount of people. Bird follows with, "I plan to use less cussing and put more time and effort into my lyrics in the near future". She focuses on extending her arms out to other individuals through her music and and her aspirations towards having a positive impact for others in need as a counselor. Interested in learning more about Bird B? Let me know! Support her dream!
Another event coming up in the month of January is the "Cypher Elite Party" at Club Fever which is January 17, 2014!! November of 2013, some of Indiana's local artists/emcees: Wally West, T-Krazy, Benzo Da Realest, B. East (also a member of The B.E.A.T), Komain, and Haven Russell spit some of their hottest bars on camera among each other, and released the recording on Thanksgiving Day via social networks and YouTube. With both, positive and negative feedback, each artist has still been progressing and focusing on their goals- all releasing new singles or mix-tapes which their followers have enjoyed and appreciated! Black Diamond Promotions is hosting the Cypher Elite Party at Club Fever in which all of the artists mentioned above will be attending along with host, Joel Perez (also known as Joey Diamond), DJ Blackfoot, and the creator of the Cypher Elite, Dee Boogie Brown! These are also just some of Indiana's gifted individuals. Interested in listening to what they've got? Let me know! And, again, support their dream!
With Realness and back to the controversy,
