What Black History Month means to me

Hey there guys its The DJ here & I have something that I wanted to share & for a longtime now it has alot to do with Black History Month & what it really means.

Black History is a time of celebrating our culture & the people

who've inspired & innovated

we celebrate the teachers, scientists

inventors, athletes, & the entertainers.

Though many lives might've been lost 

through out the month & past years

in the end we celebrate their legacies

that were left with cheer.

Black History Month is a time to celebrate

what our culture & heritage is really all about

All lives matter so shout it out loud

Take heed to the message that I say

to the crowd no matter what goes on

I'm black & I'm proud!

New year & attitude

 Hey there everyone its your old pal DJ Dizzy & its been about a month but so much has happened since then for one something unexpected happened which is why I had to hold off some new posts but as of right now I'm back.

There's so much that's been going on next to getting the first ever female vice president (Its been a long time coming) But overall I've been finding myself changing in so many ways & I've  realized that there are some things that I've been putting off such as some personal goals that I hope to accomplish but overall I hope to make it happen & there are other things that I hope to do as well in the rest of the year.

But aside from that we have a lot to cover from music reviews to interviews & more & also cover many topics from my many thoughts as well so here's to a whole new year & a whole new me as well.

Nearing The Goal

Hey there one & all DJ Dizzy here & I wanted to take the time to say that we're almost close to reaching the goal of getting Saturday Morning cartoons back on local blocks & so far one network will be doing just that, Its none other than Me TV  (For those who aren't too familiar with it its showcases shows from back in the day some of them are shows your parents used to watch,)

Its been confirmed that they'll be airing cartoons for three hours starting in next month on the second but that's just one step towards reaching the goal but we still have more to go & so far this petition has gotten a lot of signatures & has really shown a lot of interests so be sure to once again, sign, & share this petition because we're really close.

Thanks & stay awesome!

Help support & create a prince/princess with disabilities

Hey there folks, DJ Dizzy here & right now we're taking time from the music scene to shine a light on a special cause, That of creating a new Disney princess with a disability. 

Coincidently I though to myself one night that there should be a princess with a physical handicap since  there's already princesses & princes of different ethnicities, Growing up half the princesses I watched were always fair skinned, white, Middle Eastern, French, & Chinese, & just recently they've added black, Scottish, & Latina to the roster which demonstrates how far they've really come with diversity & showing girls that no matter where you're from you can be a princess which is what I highly respect, encourage & admire.

While I have some Disney Princesses that I enjoy such as Ariel, Tiana, & Mulan, to name a few there never has been a princess who's blind, deaf, in a wheelchair or autistic in anyway & being half blind it'd be nice to have a princess who I or anyone else whose visually impaired to look up to so that's where this petition comes in,

Just recently a young girl has created a petition to create a princess with disabilities & its garnered quite a lot of signatures but you too can help by giving it a full read & of course signing & sharing it with anyone who might want to take interest because with the many diverse princesses out there we need one of our own to look up to & to the girl who was brave enough to speak out & create this petition many thanks & much love to you & here's hoping that we reach this goal of making it happen.

So have a look feel free to sign & share since its for a really good cause! Stay awesome

DJ's Spotlight: An Interview with Four Trips Ahead

Hey everyone DJ Dizzy here & I've had the pleasure of interviewing none other than Four Trips Ahead who were really kind to take time to answer a few questions. Enjoy!

How'd you get started in music?

My mother was a singer with a touring choir for over 25 years; they performed at many famous venues in NYC including Carnegie Hall and St. Patrick’s Cathedral as well as throughout Europe and North America.  The Dumka Choir recorded several albums which she helped produce as well. I used to sit and listen in on her rehearsals on Friday nights in the East Village in Manhattan. It was an exciting time to be hanging out in such a creative place. My father was a jazz and ska fanatic, and he constantly played records. Growing up, music was always present in our home.  I ended up singing in several bands throughout high school and college while studying voice and playing NYC clubs and other East Coast venues. I also toured a bit nationally in earlier bands, which solidified it for me.  You can say it’s in my blood.

Who are your main inspirations or influences?

This is a very hard response to give—Queen, KISS, David Bowie, The Wailers, Thin Lizzy, The Beatles, Nina Simone, Sly + the Family Stone, Cheap Trick, Led Zeppelin, the Bad Brains, King’s X, Marillion, Aretha Franklin, Peter Gabriel, Anthrax, Aerosmith, Kate Bush, Living Colour, UFO, Soundgarden, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Third World, Faith No More, Glenn Hughes, Steel Pulse and Prince as well as a host of others.

How would you say music has impacted your life?

Music is life.  Without it, I am nothing.

What advice would you offer aspiring performers?

Work on your craft--rehearse, rehearse, and then rehearse some more.  Play with and learn from the best.  Learn your favorite songs but make sure to write your own music and lyrics.  Go see bands live and develop your own unique live show.  Be bold and brave and play from the heart.  And prepare to be rejected, misunderstood and ignored---it doesn't mean what you do isn't good or important.

Any new gigs or works in the future?

FTA is currently working on new material for our next release--we are super excited as the songs are shaping up to be some of the most dramatic and powerful music we've written together.  The next move to return to the studio to begin tracking in the coming months--FTA is hoping to do a special crowdfunded release.  We should be playing in the next two to three months during the summer.  We just debuted a live in-studio video for "December" from our Spin Recording Studios session with AXS which was great.  Check it out here--

Interview and video premiere: Peter Wilso

So I just want to thank FTA for taking the time to do this interview & I wish you guys nothing but luck in everything. So until then be radically righteous!

Saving the music part 4: The studies of music

Part 4: The studies of music

According to articles taken from a blog through the following links studies have shown that music education can help children succeed by improving their GPA. This was proven by students from Nashville Public Schools in Nashville TN. This is also the case with disciplinary standards. Studies have also been shown to help develop & improve self confidence in children. A 16 year old  saxophonist has shown to have learned to develop talent & self confidence just through music lessons

Save the music part 3: The main goal

Here's part 3 The goal at hand

The goal at hand is to help provide public schools by way of grants & donations to fund music programs & to gain the interest of parents, teachers, & students alike.

Sometimes the network would host concerts featuring many different artists that would perform & explain why music is important. (Sort of like a telethon.)

Saving the music: Introduction

Hello everyone DJ Dizzy here & I want to share with you a program that's a big inspiration called Save the Music which helps different schools with funding to help music programs in many schools & for those who aren't familiar with it here's  what they're all about

For a long time music programs have been cut from public schools due to lack of funds or interest. People would think that there’s nothing really special about them but the truth is that it can do so much more such as to bring out talent, creativity, inner strength, confidence, & so much more as we’re about to discover

DJ Interviews: Alan Silva

Hey there guys & I've had the pleasure of interviewing none other than areal acrobat extraordinaire Alan Silva as he sat down with me & spoke on his upbringing in aerial silks & stunts.

How'd you get started doing aerial stunts? I was born in to a circus family, so I feel like I did t have much choice but also become a circus artist. I love the feeling that I have being in the air, my grandma, sister, father, cousins were aerialists and I fell in love with aerial silks because of how artistic you can  be With it.    Who are you're biggest influences? I get my influences from many other people that cross path with in my life. So I don’t really have just one.    Was aerial stunts your first choice? It was not my first choice. But then it became my first choice. The more I did it the more I wanted to do it.    Can you remember the most dangerous stunt you've ever done? Everything that is in the air is definitely dangerous. But I have to say the death drop over the spikes as well hanging by one foot so up high and also aerial in the water.    What advice would you offer people who aspire to do the work you do or have been bullied? To keep going, moving forward and keep dreaming. Don’t listen to the bullies and the negative people. Reach to the stars because the sky’s the limit.    Any new gigs in the future? There are a couple. But things are a bit slow now because of Covid 19 but I’m sure soon as things can go back to normal I will be very busy.    Special thanks to him for doing this interview & I wish him lots of luck in his career & lots of love to him & his family so until then stay awesome & rock n roll!

Saving the music part 2: The solution at hand

Here's part 2 of Saving The music

Music programs are constantly being cut from multiple schools both high school & middle schools alike. This has been happening since the late 90s & in some cases still goes on due to lack of funding by the states or lack of interest. But it was back in the year 1999 that VH1 (That’s Video Hits One for those who don’t know) started a program to donate money to keep music programs in schools called Save The Music.
