Hi Everybody!!

I MISS YOU!!!

I have gotten all of the e-mails, texts, IM's and phone calls :)
I even got 4 e-mails asking me what my talking voice
sounds like...
um, o.k. : ) hahaha!
because of this- in addition to my pictures-
I am doing an audio blog!!!

















I had to hurry up and blog
before yall started throwing stones!!!


So where did I leave off?


















Oh yeah... N. Carolina.

Wow! That was so long ago...
Of course the show went well!

Here are some pics from that show:
(You can always click on any pic to enlarge)















(Jeffrey Osborne, Bill Sharpe, Me, Tony Maiden)

I so *heart* Tony Maiden!!
Not only is he a GEMINI genius-
He plays that guitar so great it's just...
other worldly!!













Tony is the founder of the group
that put Chaka on the map- Rufus.
That's him in the hat from back in the day...















You can also catch these two (Bill and Tony)
playing with Dave Koz- for all you smooth jazzers.

Moving On...

You know the Sangindiva is a workaholic-
If I am not on the road I am singing SOMEWHERE!
It doesn't matter what genre of music-
country, pop, rock , gospel, jazz etc.-I do it!
So on my few "days off " I was in the studio :)
I've been working with Hip-Hop artists in English...















(Crazy Cuz, Me, Butch Cassidy)


ANNND in Spanish! (Siempre Representando!!!)















(The Homegirl Flakiss and Crew)

Flakiss is crazy popular in the Latin hip- hop circles
and is working on album #3.


Let's see what else...

Oh! then I had a show in Miami.















(Me waking up from a nap in my trailer)
















The show was at this HUGE plantation mansion,
and the weather was like Cali (in the fall!!)
HOT and BEAUTIFUL!! Can you say 85 degrees!
The set up was right on the water...
Oh! the stories I could tell!! hahaha!


















But I won't! : )

A few of my friends were at this show too,
but this is the only picture I took because
I was tryin' to get my party on...




















THEN...

Because of all of the tours
(Fantasia, Jamie Foxx, Ne-yo etc.)
that are being put together right now
EVERYBODY (and I mean EVERYBODY)
from producers to superstars-
is in L.A. for rehearsals...
When all of the working musicians in L.A.
come home we PARTY!!












The other night after our rehearsals
we went to Cozy's in Sherman Oaks, CA.
And turned it into an all-star Jam session!
We took turns playing and singing. It was magical.

I won't even TRY to post all my pics
but I'll hip you to my main crew...















(Me and George Johnson)
GREAT drummer-Known him since we were 15,
the first one in our crew to turn pro-I was the second!!
And we toured w/ Patti Labelle together.
He currently plays with Fantasia.















(Me and Felix "dat Kat")

I heart Felix!! He is so sweet! A great drummer
who currently plays for Lionel Richie.
We've done a few stateside shows in the jazz world.
















(Me and Dave B!!!)

I knew Dave but really got to know him
when we were with Anthony Hamilton.
Hey is a FANTASTIC keyboard player and still plays w/Ant.
Oh! the road stories I could tell... but I won't!















Gorden Campbell (taking his turn @ Cozy's)

MAN! Gordo and I have traveled the WORLD together!
Denmark, Russia, Japan...the list could go on for days!
Oh the stories I could tell!! Gordo works with EVERYBODY!
He currently is Neyo's M.D. and is also M.D. for
Jessica Simpson.















(Me, Jubu (in grey)and Eric (in blue) Smith)

Jubu -guitar and Eric bass-are brothers.
I met Jubu @ a George Duke album session,
I know E from Lalah Hathaway's Band.
I forget who Jubu is playing for right now,
But E is with Lalah and Fantasia- Work that double dip E!!
















Me and Monet'

In this male dominated business-
I'm glad I have a homie in crime...Miss Monet'!!
This girl can sing her butt off! And she's from the bay too!
(Oaktown HOLLA!!) She currently is with Goapole.
















(Chaz, Me and Day-Day)

Chaz and I go way back... our mothers know each other.
You guys might know him as an actor-
but ol' boy can SANG 4 REAL!
(Speaking of acting- Make sure to catch him tonight
(Mon. 11/21/06)on that new series "The Game" w/the Maury twin.)
Day-Day is my homie and a great drummer too!
Dang! I forget who is playing for... I wanna say
Bobbie Valentino but don't quote me.

O.k.








I hope you all forgive me for not blogging.
I will be around reading, catching up,
and saying hello so that you know I still love yall.
