I have gone where no "hood" company has gone before. I've come to the point where I shouldn't have to go this far, but I'm tired. I'm tired of fighting,....I'm tired of proving time and time again that I am not touched and I am unmatched. I know what it takes to build and the pieces have to be as strong as the foundation. Over the past 20 months, with the profession of some amazing artists, I have built this foundation that anyone that comes to us, they will be able to plant, seed, water and harvest in whatever capacity and whatever style they want. And I'm about to prove it.
NEW SIGNINGS
Once again,....the first things to do was to strengthen my resources. As anyone knows, I don't approach anyone. I want a person to come to me and want to work with me; whether I want to work with them or not. You have to show me that you want this just as much as I want you to want this. But what you put in is what you will get and these artists that have joined "THE DEN" has just strengthened our organization.
JULIA
Now everyone knows the First Lady of Wayne Management Company, Ms. Synthia "Blak Cheri" Robinson, who is also the President of Black Lion Entertainment Music Group was our only full time R&B performer. Well, after consideration and a number of discussions, I decided to add another few R&B specialists to join Blak Cheri to show our versatility.
Julia, a solo recording artist from Far Rockaway, Queens, NY, was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. Her music genres are Gospel, R&B, Jazz, Reggae, some Hip Hop and Opera. She's been singing for well over 10 years she's also bi-lingual. Julia loves the arts and entertainment, plays and musicals. She's had professional vocal training in NYC (Central Park West) area and Brooklyn, NY (Bedford Stuyvesant). went to school for drama, NYC (HB Studios) near West Side Highway, attended the Henry Street Settlement School for Performing Arts, had "Bass" Guitar training. Guitar training was in Brooklyn, NY at two separate locations. She loves to read, study music, She has also studied piano, sang in a professional church choir in Brooklyn, NY (Bedford Stuyvesant), performed at the McDonald's Gospel Fest and the Pathmark Competition for Choirs; and various street and church venues. She is also a songwriter, She has pushed back the release of her debut CD to fine tune in a few areas and polish off in others.
I have also added SweetTea Ali, another R&B singer who came to agreement with me a little over 2 months ago. She is in production of her first fully recorded single. From what I've heard from Synthia Robinson, she got something for everybody.
GIOVANNI
You know,....I was always wondering what it would be like to work a true, off my usual, type of artist. Have you ever heard that saying "Be Careful of What You Ask For"? Well,....I should fine myself for thinking so hard because I truly believe God brought us two together.

LEADERS OF DA NEW WORLD
How in the world did God bless me and challenge me at the same time is beyond me,.....but only God could've lead me to the only known Mother and Son Rap Duo.
Carnel AKA Niceemcee Rap Artist, Ascap Affiliate Song Writer & Producer team up with his Mother Rhodina Moore AKA (Simply Rhodina ) Vocalist “Ascap Affiliate Song writer” and co Wrote & Produced the song “Somebody Lied to Me” which was a dream that his mother had one day that came to reality Rhodina Moore & Carnel went to Bloomfield College together in Bloomfield NJ Where Rhodina Focused on Music and Carnel Focused on Creative Arts & Technology /Digital Video both Collaborated on projects and Carnel performed at her Capstone Project which led to more projects. Rhodina Moore is a Stradivarius violinist she began playing the violin and clarinet and joined the school orchestra jazz band, marching band. And the national guard for a day band popular; she would sometimes perform at weddings funerals and different places in a In 1983 at the age of 24, she sang at NJ congressmen home parties Newly elected county executives victory galas and her voice was used for the campaign music that help Mayor Sharpe James of Newark was elected to his first term. When she was 15 years old, Rhodina began training her own voice by tuning her vocal tones to that of a violin and later studied voice self defense with Vince Denato of Teaneck NJ and musician survival with re known Duke Anderson .a prominent black composer and pianist. Shortly thereafter, Called upon by the top black executives of the New York Chapter Black Music Association (BMA) the music industry to represent the local musical voices to help stop apartheid. After spending 12 years with local musicians and keeping her musicians employed 7 nights a week and was a winner at the famous Apollo Theatre in New York City.
So,....I think I have proven the fact that I belong in this industry. I'm not a "fly by night", nor am I a "wisher". I am well trained, well schooled. Highly skilled in many areas that make me successful. But none more than the fact that all of my artists, not to mention my new Executive team, make me look like a genius. As long as the artists work hard at what they do, I will work even harder to ensure that everyone knows who they are. You called for a storm? Well,....here comes the Thunder.
