LIVE! at The Trocadero Thursday August 1, 2013 Man of The House Concerts & Mikey G gathered some of the hottest talent on the rise in Philly. Hosted by Hugotae and DJ AMH your girl Miss, LIV had the honor of witnessing talent in many forms once again that evening. If you weren’t there you missed Kayla Enfiniti who reminded me of the late great “Aaliyah” with her Tom Girl steelo, Vanessa Ingrahm, James Allen, Dave Watson, Hazie Blu and many more….
It was a doosey getting into the “Troc” not only did the guests have a time getting in but the performers as well. Standing outside for almost 2 hours was not a good look for the venue, I guess they were being “Sticklers” in giving us a hard time getting in but patience is key and I finally got through the doors. I didn’t get a chance to see all who performed (Bummer) due to me having to work in the A.M. but I stayed most of the evening to see some of the performers get their shine on.

Leon Tomas“Mr. Show Stopper” I call him. I ‘ve been noticing at each event I attend were Hazie Blu performs Leon seems to transform when he’s on stage. He stops tickling the keys, grabs the mic and the transformation begins.

I also notice the bond that CodeNine has with his guitar as I watched him play. He tips his cap low and he’s ready to play. He holds her and caresses her as if he’s making love “I love the way he plays”. Wil Bond was FunkiN the heck out of his BASS and Tony(Couldn’t get a good pic due to the darkness) in the background setting the tempo on the drums. What can I say, I fell in love with these guys ever since the first time I heard them play. I’m in love with the Blu……

Kayla Enfiniti looked as if she was enjoying her first time on stage performing her single “On My Mind” feat…. McVeigh. I Loved her sexy “Tom Girl” persona it worked baby girl. Big thank you to Producer “Ferno” for letting me sit it and get an exclusive listen while I waited in the studio for my peoples to show up that evening. As soon as they pressed play I was sold. Trust and believe when I don’t like something I don’t like it but when I do “I LoveIt”
Vanessa Ingrahm has a beautiful voice, she and her background singers covered Beyonce’s “We Like To Party” Parteyyy, eyyy, eyyy… and sung a few originals of her own and some poetry sounding a bit like Lauren Hill. This was my second time getting a chance to see James Allen who always seems to get the crowd to participate with his fun loving energy. I don’t know how he does it, but when you got “IT” you just got “IT’.
Philly Sound Sessions, Tuesday December 3, 2013 at Voltage Lounge hosted by Trizzy TheMouth with music by DJ Jovi Baby. Philly Sound Sessions has held networking events over this past year to show case talent in many forms. Last evening, I got the chance to attend PSS last event of the year to meet Producers, Songwriters, and artist performing live. I would like to thank Dozi Doz of Get Go Productions for inviting me out for the night.
Lately! I have been running into some familiar faces I’ve seen at a few events for year 2013. I’m not one to be an ‘All in Your Face’ type of person so I ran into the beautiful ‘Momma Enfiniti’ Momager, of Philly’s own Kayla Enfiniti who was in the building to perform last evening.

Meanwhile, while I was ordering the strongest drink ever ‘Fish Bowl’ I looked up and it is was none other than Mr. Pusha Love himself Jeremy Isaac in the cut. I took 4 sips of my drink and I immediately I had a ‘Joker Smile’ on my face LOL! Whew! them drinks where strong. J Isaac offered to buy my next drink but Unnhh! Unnnhh! They would of had to carry me out the place and that wouldn’t have been a good look. I finally had the chance to meet Trizzy TheMouth in the flesh, by the way he is an FKD Alumni (Frankford High School) In the building

Before I get into detail about my experience at Philly Sound Sessions I would like to make clear that my review has nothing to do with Get Go Productions, LLC or PSS as a team. My review is a reflection of the artist that performed.
First, I would to say that I was not impressed with the acts that graced the stage last night. Frenchie@JustFrenchieTaylor Martin@Tobyvent gave good performances and I’m sure Kayla rocked out and a few others that I didn’t get a chance to see. Most of the music and songs sound like something I heard before. To be honest DJ Jovi Baby should have rocked out the rest of the night on the 1’s and 2’s. Maybe I’m wrong but this is just my opinion, no I don’t claim to be an expert on music, but I know good music and good performances when I hear and see them. All I heard last night was a bunch of noise and words that rhymed. Again, I’m not referring to all the artist just the ones that I’ve seen.
Second, Music is supposed to move and inspire the people in the crowd and I didn’t get that feel. I’m sure each artist gave their all and it takes GUTS! to get up on stage and perform in front of critics. I do thank Dozi Doz once again for inviting me and I hope she doesn’t chop my head off for this not so good show (In my Opinion) LOL!
Lastly! I enjoyed the atmosphere overall at Voltage Lounge. It kind of reminded of the warehouses in New York. I had the chance to visit the loft area on the second floor and it was pretty dope view. Wait for it…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS? It looked like some chicks got into a fight up in there. The bathroom door is collapsed into the first bathroom stall. Now! If this isn’t a hazard. I had to take a picture of this mess right here to show you guys, Hey Voltage! I think you may want to fix this ASAP.
