You know a music lover?
Music lovers are sooooooooooo particular about what’s on their iPod and who their favorite artist are. I have friends like that and they are really the hardest person to shop for come birthdays and holidays. You know they want something music related but there are only so many Bose headphones you can buy before you go broke. Hey DJ!
Lucky for you, I found the best present for the music lover in your life. Check out these Vinyl Notebooks from MichaelRoger.com
These are perfect to jot down any creative thoughts, doodles and to switch things up! -

Erykah Badu and Adrian Younge Tear Up the Stage in NYC
Last night Yvonne and I attended the Wax Poetics Records Showcase presented by Skullcandy, a monthly showcase teaming renowned DJs and Wax Poetics recording artists. Last night’s show, held at Le Poisson Rouge, featured one of my favorite artists of all times, Erykah Badu aka DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown, and Adrian Younge and his new band, Venice Dawn. Clearly Erykah and Adrian have tons of fans in NYC because at 10:30pm, 30 minutes before the doors opened, the line was 3 people wide all the way around the block–wow!
The show kicked off with local DJs warming up the room….
Then came Adrian Younge and Venice Dawn. And wow, they blew me away! Their energy was crazy. They jumped on stage with their grey retro suits and killed it with a fierce performance from beginning to end. Their style is an eclectic fusion of psychedelic soul, rock, and funk, utilizing a variety of instruments from the flute to a keyboard called a Selene! The band will release a new album, Something About April, this fall through Wax Poetics Records and I can’t wait for it!
Front man Adrian Younge
For the finale, Erykah Badu appeared as her alter ego, Lo Down Loretta Brown, tearing up the 1s and 2s. I would have loved to hear that voice of hers, but it was cool seeing her do her DJ thing!
Check out video of Erykah Badu in action. (P.S. I love the rings she had on!!)
Thanks to Wax Poetics and Skullcandy for a great event!
kisses, Olisa

Acoustic Conversation with Joe
Last night I went to Acoustic Conversation, a live perfomance series presented by online R&B lifestyle magazine, Singersoom.com, staring R&B artist, Joe!
This intimate, live concert was staged in BoConcept in NYC. Strange backdrop, I’ll say–but it worked! Drinks were sponsored by Martini and Rossi.
Joe started off singing some of his hit singles. The entire crowd was singing along!
Then, my favor part was the acoustic set.
Lastly there was a brief Q&A session with the audience.
There was also a live painter, James Shields. Here is the finished product. For more information on his work visit:creativeshields.com
Seriously, wow…this is the definition of #1 fan!!!
Overall, great event. Singersroom did a great job of bringing us Joe–live, up-close and personal! For more information on Singersroom, visit their website: singersroom.com.
