I just finished recording my upcoming CD entitled, "The Ledge". We don't have a release date set yet but as soon as I know i will let you know. It has been an amazing process - selecting the tracks, recording, pictures, promo, and the list goes on and on. I worked with some amazing people and I feel so very lucky to have gotten this opportunity. My intention with this project is to put something out into the atmosphere that is inspiring, thought provoking and motivating to my listeners.
I worked with the legendary Sly Dunbar (of Sly & Robbie) and I am so grateful for his creativity and support on this project. Words are not enough to thank him. All of the producers on my CD are crazy talented and I am humbled by their work and generosity.
This project was made possible by the MN State Arts Board's Artist Initiative Grant that I received this year. Also, contributing to the project are the ever-so generous ( and I don't mean that lightly) Deirdre & Patrick Lindsey who have really made it happen. Thanks to you all!!!!!!!
Other things I have been doing:
I have been voluneerting at Stillwater Prison with the SPG (Stillwater Poetry Group) thanks to "in the belly" - founded by Reggie Harris (local St. Paul activist & poet). I have been initiating writing exercises with some of the inmates, performing, listening, discussing and learning about myself and the members of SPG.
I also work with Intermedia Arts (www.intermediaarts.org) curating the Encyclopedia of Hip Hop Evolution, a quarterly workshop and performance series. The next workshop is "Lyricism" - for more info visit Intermedia's website or call,
