WHAT'S GOOD PEOPLE - THEY CALL ME SOUL SPEAK

So… chances are if you’re reading this then you’ve probably received an email, Facebook message or, myspace post asking you to pleeeassse check out my new blog. Or you're mindless scrolling through pages and pages of blogs and you have come across mine. Or you just hit the wrong key on your laptop. Either way, you here now. So, thanks for stopping by. You know, you could’ve been anywhere else in the world, but your right here with me… (Hov !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Anywho… introducing!!!!!!!!!!! Me. I’m Soul Speak; musician, actor, mc, singer song-writer (I’m not trying to do everything but I do get bored easily), and member of a most incredible rap group The Elements. If you haven’t heard of us or seen us…SHAMELESS PLUG!!!!

So enough about The Elements, the real question is: what is this “soul speak project”? And, why should I be reading it? Well, the answer is simple. Art. On my good days I like to call myself an artist. I love to create. Not only do I love to create, but I also love being in the presence of creative people. I love what happens when you get a group of real artist together in a room. I love the collaboration. I enjoy hearing the intense mixture of opinions. The Soul Speak Project will hopefully become a place of collaboration, and a place where opinions can be aired concerning art (I know I will be airing mine!). So, calling all actors, rappers, poets, musicians, visual artist, dancers, songwriters, and singers. Let’s collaborate. Let’s Talk.

I plan to voice my opinion on a lot of issues. Not all of it will by super deep. Truthfully, I hope to keep all of you guys entertained. You know, review some music, comment on artist and entertainers (although this will not be a gossip column), and just wild out every now and then (alright maybe we'll talk about a celebrity or two...hundred!). Warning: I do tend to go off on tangents. So, though this blog is dedicated to my craft and all that, don’t be too surprised at what other random thoughts seem to be connected. There will be day's when you will question what that post had to do with art or anything at all. For those day's all I have to say is sorry... I warned you!

Oh yeah. I almost forgot. I am completely shameless when it comes to putting my own music all over this blog! You will be hearing from The Elements and a solo acoustic project by yours truly. No need to worry though, I also plan on posting and reviewing lots of other music and art (maybe yours!!!). So thanks, again for checking this out. Stay tuned!
