from Artist to Artist

Why don't people capitalize Artist?
Just like that.
We are like the daily newspaper. We inform you of the world around us.
We paint pictures of our souls, thoughts, and experiences through music, lyrics, photography and art.
We are like the griots of West Africa giving you chunks of our past, the wide range scope of our present, and what we are to achieve in the future.
We need more respect and attention than we receive.
Especially us starving Artists.
Excuse the ramble...sounded kinda poetic huh?
One of my friends is a consistent source of inspiration to me.
She's one of the greatest photographers I've got the chance to meet, befriend, and confide in.
The ability to tell a story through picture has always boggled yet entertained me.
Gotta love the chick though.
I wish there was a way to fuse the power of photography with the power of spoken word, lyrics and hip hop.
No..not a video...pictures and lyrics.
My heart beat yearns for fame and stardom.
My dreams at night are those of success, yachts, bad women, the love of the world, and the hate of those who can't be me.
It's beautiful.
The desires of your heart are meant to be given to you.
Thank God for that.

A daydream ain't JUST a DayDream anymore

DUDEEEE!!
So I FINALLY released 6:15 DayDreamsz!!!!! Oh man!
I did it last Friday and I feel greatttttt!
Within TWO days 90 some odd people 'liked' the mixtape on my website...
(coughcoughBlackNoizeLMF.com)
Ahchoo!!!
80 some odd people shared the link.
Gahhh it seems surreal...
People fucks with and bump MY music and that's all I ever wanted.
I'm glad y'all can relate to the mixtape cause I def put my heart in that shit...
of course I ALWAYS put my heart in my music.
I KEEP thanking my friends and fam for supporting me during this journey cause it wouldn't be possible without them!!!
Dudeeeeee.....I'm just ready for the next mixtape.
I've had a couple producers hit me up that wanna work on "Jungle Juice & Captain Crunch".
Don't judge me on the title lol.
I know the shit sounds odd and special but shit...that's how I feel.
Don't care what people think :)
Now...excuse me while I hop from subject to subject.
#ThatsHowMyMindWorks.
School is going great.
A's and B's with the occasional C but I haven't failed A THING so I'm proud of me. Females....females...females.
That's just a...pshhhh.
Honestly I'm at this point with school and music I just ain't got the time to get serious with a chick.
I mean sure sometimes I want it, but I'd rather be getting closer to my dreams.
Can you blame me?
Something that's been irking me is that my mind stays on a couple chicks but I'd never say who.
It's best to leave some people in the past and let things be what they are, you know?
Ehh.
I'm having family troubles.
There's tension between me and a few of my cousins.
I'm at the point where I just don't give a fuck anymore.
It had nothing to do with ME initially..
but THEY brought me into it by talking shit so it's whatever.
Fuck em.
That sounds harsh huh?
You gotta know ME to know that I NEVER treat family like that until you take me to that level.
It hurts but hey, shit happens.
You know..I'm finally at a place in my life where I am happy, relaxed, drama-free, and feeling at the top of my game and the world.
#Untouchable #Unbreakable
Anyways I'm through discussing my life.
Catch me where the Jungle Juice spills and the Captain Crunch stays crunchy.

(L)ive (M)usic Video (F)or The Week

Marsha. Marsha. Marsha....gahhhh you can't deny her voice...you just can't...and this throwback is the truth but when it's (L)IVE....pshhhh GET OUTTA HEREEEEE!

(L) (M)usic (F)eature: Z Coloratura Chameleon

Ok...apologies for being gone for so long! A lot of things have been going down and I've been super busy with school. Anyways this isn't about me Lol. I had the opportunity to interview one of the nicest, most beautiful and talented singer/songwriters that I've known for awhile. She has a voice to be noticed, lyrics to captivate her audiences, and a presence that could cause envy and awe at the same time. Her name is Z Coloratura Chameleon. She is a college student at Middle Tennesee State University and judging by that fact alone, you can tell she's one smart sista. Let's enter the mind of Mrs. Z Colortura Chameleon!:

F: Ok first things first where are you from?
Z: I am originally from Memphis, Tennesee

F: And I'm seriously curious. Your name is very creative and original! Where did you get your name from?
Z: Z Coloratura Chameleon; I found it easier for people to remember my name by saying Z. Its shorter and to the point. Coloratura is my range ability. Chameleon means what it means. I don't like to be fit into a box when it comes to music, but I am quite adaptable to it.

F. Ok ok I can dig that. Now.. If you had to, who would you compare your sound and voice to?
Z: I believe I am indeed unique. I want others to tell me what I sound like. If I could sound like someone else on purpose, I would want Mariah Carey's voice :)

F: You both definitely have something in common! Strong voices with a wide range ability. So...If you could work with anyone in the industry, who would it be and why?
Z: wow... in reality, everyone I love...

F: Lol I think that's everybody's dream. But ok...what would you say is your overall message in your music?
Z:I am in the process of rediscovering myself and my career. My goal is to touch on the reality of what I have faced in life. Not the process of trying to create a hit song that fits the market just to get in. I am seeking a real fan base that can relate to me.

F: That's a major problem in the music industry today. There's too many people wanting to make a hit song instead of trying to make REAL music. So question..how do you feel about the music industry?
Z: This is such a broad question. I feel that is really changing and I am happy independent artist like I have the freedom to express ourselves.

F:Understandable & agreed. What inspires you to create music?
Z: There are so many things that inspire me. One of the things is my desire to have this dream of mine to be a successful renown artist to be my reality and allow me to provide security for my family.

F: Everything will come in due time! Trust that! Now what do you have in the works right now?
Z: I am in the Broadway play named RENT at Mtsu. I play one of the lead parts, MiMi Marquez. That and consistent artist development and networking.

F: I see you doing big things! I'm sure people are curious though...what do you think you have to offer to the music industry? What makes you different?
Z: Here is my ego speaking: if you don't see I'm one of the best, someone else will.

F. Nothing wrong with an ego Queen, you got PLENTY reasons! Now give the people some links. This is music that needs to be heard!
Z: Keep it simple: www.myspace.com/zchameleon
and my store to download my songs http://www.reverbnation.com/store/index/artist_902598

CHECK THIS ARTIST OUT....She's definitely worth the listen! I want to thank Z for taking out the time to do this interview & the patience for it taking so long!

Until next time,
Much Love, Stacks on Deck, and Sunglasses
