Music Needs George Tandy Jr.

I have always been a diehard 90s R&B fan…(think Jodeci before the drugs and R Kelly before we knew he loved teenagers….) I loved Shai and Tevin Campbell, Silkk and LSG, Keith Sweat and Troop, Dru Hill and Aaron Hall. THAT was my era for music. Even though I was a kid and NOT supposed to be listening to some of that, when the “I wanna freak you” line comes on I squeal like a virginal teen.

Lately however, I have been less than thrilled with the current R&B situation out there and have gone back to my underground hip hop loving ways. You can’t go wrong listening to NWA, Mos Def, Kweli and MURS when all else is wrong with the world. Besides, I was less than convinced that honest love making music even still existed. Where was the panty dropping, basement sweating, grinding, hide and go get it music of my youth? Well a few months ago I found it. The glimmer of hope for me was in the brilliant music of local south Floridian George Tandy Jr.

I admit, I’m a tough critic…I rarely give new music a shot. I’m the one that takes the CDs people hand me in the streets and let them pile in the backseat of my car (or use them as drink coasters.) But what sold me on George was that I saw him perform LIVE. The honesty and love in his lyrics literally ooze out of every inch of his beautiful being, his talent on the keyboard matched with the silkiness of his voice brought back my memories of hide and go get it, and the passion in which he emits each note lets you know it’s REAL. Once I got to know him as a person I was even more sold on his mission to heal the world through his music and so the journey began. He’s an enlightened human and a beautiful soul.

Lucky me…I have had the pleasure of hearing all his new music. I swear if I didn’t love you all so much I would keep it to myself and cuddle with it at night. It would be a lie if I told you I didn’t listen to his ultra passionate and VERY sexy tune, “March” about 350 times in two days….literally. “Jaded” is another favorite and “Apologize” is acoustic sounding and make up sex worthy. And ladies, his LOOKS match his SOUND. Nuff said.
Oh, and he’s newly VEGAN. Sexy.

All I can tell you is he has a brand new website and is slowly uploading all his new music onto the site. You better hop on quickly, because this bandwagon is sure to fill up fast.

Warning: Ladies, listen to his music and make sure you have a dry pair of panties lying close by for you to change into. Fellas, listen to it with your lady so he can say all the right things for you to get her in the mood. Ya dig? You’re welcome.

A SUCCESSFUL EVENT! Fusion Rocked – literally!

Wow! It has been a minute since I have been able to update my blog because I was absolutely crazy trying to put together our Project Save Imagination Art Basel FUSION event. From arranging PR, musical acts, lighting, staging, fundraising, volunteer coordination, getting items donated for auction, arranging celeb hotel rooms and flights and still working full time jobs and being full time mothers, Lila Nikole and I had our hands full!

The event took place on December 6th and we had an amazing turnout. Our hosts were Claudia Jordan, Lorenzo Thomas and Anchal Joseph. We had stunning artwork by Maicol Diaz, Trek 6, Jenny Perez and Laurence Gartel. Our dynamic fashion show was INCREDIBLE and during the entire event we had musical performances by Talib Kweli, Urban Mystic, Mobius 8, DJ Bonnie Beats, DJ Epps, and DJ Rob Dinero.

All proceeds to benefit Art Studio Miami! Thanks so much for our sponsors Sobe Ent, Rush Sounds, City Never Sleeps, 2 Girls and a Cupcake, Nuvo and more!!!
