My Fault by Leaf Newman

Some of you really faithful When We Speak TV supporters may remember that our very first interview was with Leaf Newman, formerly of BET singing competition, Welcome To Dreamland.  Do you remember that show?  Basically, the show paired up singers into two teams and each team had a music producer (Drumma Boy and Jazze Pha).  From there the best girl on each team would compete to become the Queen of Dreamland.....
....Leaf was on Drumma Boy's team and won the competition in the end. 

FAST FORWARD
After much anticipation, Leaf has finally released her Flowers and Grass independently and When We Speak TV was in the building for the album release, held in a beautiful loft in Atlanta.  The event was so nice and the Leaf's fashion totally represented the Leaf Newman that we know and love.

A wonderfully eclectic blend of jazz, rock, pop and r&b floating on honey vocals and life healing lyrics. With contributions from Andrew DeBarge (El DeBarge’s Nephew), Ryan Waters (Sade’s lead guitarist) and versatile producer Jabari Thomas Taylor, “Flowers and Grass,” is MUSIC YOU CAN BREATHE

  Here's just a snippet of Leaf's song, My Fault, off the album.  Be sure to purchase online at:

Meet Ziggy (Event Director of Jazz In The Alley)- Norcross, Georgia

Have you subscribed to the NEW When We Speak TV YouTube channel?

If not, please go and do it now!  

We plan to have lots of great stuff there, from music, to interviews, to personal messages, and much more!!!

I know you didn't come here for that but I really need everyone's support!  So thank you in advance for subscribing.....ok...I'll make it easy for you....just click the link below!

OK....back to the reason for the blog....

Atlanta is saturated with festivals...fall festivals, brunch festivals, jazz festivals, taco festivals, music festivals, chicken wing festivals....I think I should come up with a "festival festival"!  I'm not complaining because all these festivals and events make it very easy to find something to do on the weekend!  Sometimes on the weekend, I jump in my car and just ride around Atlanta and the surrounding cities to see what is going on....usually if you drive to the downtown areas you will find something going on.  About a year ago, I was riding in downtown Norcross, and I stumbled upon a jazz event called Jazz In The Alley.  I hadn't heard much about it but it seemed to be  really nice event so I parked my car and went to check it out.

The event was really nice because it was located behind the restaurant area of downtown Norcross restaurants and you could listen to live jazz music while you dined.  There were some people eating the restaurant patios and others were sitting in lawn chairs enjoying the music.  

Whenever there is music I'm there! Especially live music, so of course, I stopped to check it out noticing that the local jazz station, WCLK, also was involved.  

Well....after the event was over, I really didn't get a chance to go back to check it out but I was always thinking...."that was really nice".  And then, this year I was online and noticed a flyer with Tony Hightower on it.  If you don't know, Tony Hightower, has been a guest on my show, When We Speak. 

When I saw the flyer, I immediately noticed that it was in Norcross, GA, and called Jazz In the Alley.....then it hit me!  That's the same event that you stumbled upon a year ago!  So of course I made it my business to go and see Tony Hightower perform, and I'm glad I did because in the process I got a chance to meet Ziggy, the Event Director and visionary behind Jazz In The Alley. 

In fact, I admired her passion, work ethic, and over all spirit, that I wanted to share her with you!!!!!

MEET ZIGGY!!!!!

Hello Speakers, 
I just wanted to take a moment to share with you about a new movie, "Curse of Mesopotamia".  

Why am I telling you about it?  No....not because I'm in it......but actually When We Speak guest Terrell Carter is in the movie.  As you know I try to keep you updated with things that are going on around the city of Atlanta and with former guests of the show but because there has been so many previous guests, sometimes it slips through my fingers. 

BUT ANYWAY....BACK TO THE MOVIE 

From IMDB:   Five strangers, one nightmare, Hell reincarnated.  Curse of Mesopotamia is the first English language genre film coming out of the Middle East.  Starring a diverse international cast, it is based on the Newroz legend.

Singer Shameia Crawford from ABC's Rising Star...Who Is She?

WHO IS SHAMEIA CRAWFORD?

BY JERMAINE SAIN

Who is Shameia Crawford?  Some may simply classify her as a Soul or R&B artist but I believe the essence of her artistry is rooted much deeper.  Shameia first displayed her talents to her local church congregation and by the age of 5, knew that she wanted to be a singer.  By the age of 17, she released an independent album.  In addition, to such a great accomplishment at a young age, she continued her pursuit of a musical career at Winston-Salem StateUniversity, earning a degree in music. 

Like the soul singers of the past, her music combines elements of Gospel, R&B, and Jazz, but what keeps her unclassifiable is her personal technique of impelling the hearts of audiences with her voice.  In 2014, she sang her way into the hearts of America on ABC’s Rising Star.  

On the day that I spoke with Shameia about her music, I recall her personality being as warm as her vocals. Her smile illuminated the room and she was completely humble, yet confident, in her musical abilities.  Shortly into the conversation, I recognized her aspiration to capture the emotions of every audience that she stands in front of.  “I believe in my voice and I believe that I have something to offer that no one else does”, says Shameia.  Indeed, she has a special gift and it is considerably identifiable whether she is singing background vocals for legendary soul artists like Angie Stone, accompanying gospel singers like Vashawn Mitchell, or performing her original music. 

Who is ShameiaCrawford?  That’s not as easy to answer as one may think.  She’s not the simple answer but she is truly the correct answer.  I believe that she possesses more than just an impressive sound.  She is the determination of a sovereign sound, designed to free the soul of music.
