I am a huge fan of Eric Lau, the incredible British producer of Asian descent. Check out my review of his beautiful new album One of Many over at Nu-Soul Mag. If you love proper soul music then this is for you.

Zo! of the Foreign Exchange will be joined onstage by Choklate for what is sure to be one of the best soul shows in LA this year. It will also be the first time I am producing a show at the Bootleg Bar which is a fairly new venue in the city that has been gaining a lot of buzz for some great shows.

Jesse Boykins III Live in LA - Saturday Feb 9, 2013
I am back at it again. Grammy weekend is upon us in LA so it's time to do a big show! In years past I have put together a big lineup of artists but this year I decided to scale back at least a little bit. Instead I am hosting an intimate show for Jesse Boykins III. He probably had the biggest show I was involved with in 2012 so bringing him back was a no-brainer. If you like sexy, soulful vibes with plenty of style then Jesse is your man.

Solo Nude by Ed Freeman
Ed Freeman is probably my favorite photographer to shoot with. We had a duo shoot scheduled this past weekend but with the flu going around the other model had to cancel. Rather than waste the time we did a quick shoot of just me in his gallery. Ed is going to manipulate this image in some crazy way but he sent me the raw shot of just me, my hair and my booty against a white wall. Looking forward to seeing the final image but in the meantime I love this image!

Strictly Social presents Melo-X - Saturday Jan 19, 2012
I am back at it with another edition of Strictly Social. Now in its 5th year my ongoing collaboration with DJ Destroyer is my true stamp on the Los Angeles scene. I have been able to book a cross section of progressive artists who truly represent the Nu-Soul vibe. While I am no longer doing these shows on a monthly basis I am more interested in doing these shows when I have access to an artist who fits the vibe of what I am trying to create.
On Saturday January 19, 2012 I am proud to present Brooklyn's Melo-X. This producer, rapper, and remixer became known for remixing Maxwell's most recent album but he has put his touch on awesome remixes of Rihanna, Lana Del Rey and Quadron. Truly next level sexy beat shit!
