Stone Broken are a 4-piece hard

rock band from Walsall, UK.

Formed in late 2013 from the

fragments of 2 local bands, Rich,

Kieron, Chris & Robyn, have formed a dynamic out-

fit that delivers a fat sound with huge choruses.

They self-released their debut EP – The Crow Flies

– in 2014, with the video for ‘Let Me Go’ achiev-

ing cult status in the UK with over 14,000 plays,

across YouTube & Facebook.

Stone Broken signed a management deal with

TMR Band Services in October 2015 and just a

month later announced their debut album, ‘All In

Time’, will be released worldwide on Friday 29th

January 2016.

‘All In Time’ features 10 tracks in total; 5 from the

original The Crow Flies EP, and 5 brand new songs,

all produced and fully remastered by Romesh

Dodangoda (Motorhead, Bring Me The Horizon,

Bullet For My Valentine).

Stone Broken released ‘Stay All Night’ as the first

official single from ‘All In Time’ on Friday 27th

November. It was accompanied by a video pro-

duced by Video Ink and has already achieved over

12,000 plays across YouTube and Facebook.

The band will be re-releasing the video for ‘Let

Me Go’, featuring the remastered audio later in

December.

Frontman, Rich Moss said: “We originally went

back to Romesh at Longwave to record a second

EP but upon hearing the results of both sessions

together they just cried out to be put together as

a single album. So we asked Romesh to work his

magic and he remastered all 10 tracks together

to make them sonically tight. In all honesty, it’s

turned out fantastically well and we can’t wait

to share it with everyone.”. He continued, “Stay All

Here’s some of the early feedback for “Stay All Night”

“It’s catchy as hell, has big chunky riffs with a devas-tating lead guitar - 5/5”David Farrell – Planet Mosh

“This is proper rock n’ roll the way it should be made. Ballsy, bold and tighter than a drum and has your head nodding from the get go.”Adam Onslaught - Metal Nation Radio

“They sound superb.”Scott Munro – TeamRock

“Stone Broken have it all. Huge chunky riffs, massive infectious choruses & killer production. Definitely one of the strongest heavy rock bands currently on the circuit. Ones to watch!”johnny Doom – Kerrang! Radio

The Painting and The Piano is an improbable story of survival and love.

Growing up more than a thousand miles apart and worlds away from each other,

Johnny and Adrianne seemed to have all that a child could ask for. However, the demons of their respective mothers would tear their young, fragile lives apart.

Eventually, destiny would bring Johnny and Adrianne together, but first they had to endure the painful toll that alcohol, drugs, and a negligent court system would take on them. With parts of Adrianne’s story ripped from national news headlines, their story takes them from the depths of despair and near death, to their first serendipitous introduction and the moment each knew they were finally safe.

Filled with hope, inspiration and humor, The Painting and The Piano is an unforgettable story of pain, loss and the undy-ing human quest for happiness. Told as a tandem narrative, Adrianne and Johnny’s stories are unique, but share parallels that create a taut and emotionally compelling narrative.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS:Johnny and Adrianne reside in South Florida with their Yorkie,

Holly. Both are involved in the AA/Recovery community. Adrianne currently works at a recovery house and Johnny con-tinues speaking, sponsoring and helping others in recovery.

Praise for The Painting and The Piano:

“Two adults overcome damaging childhoods and addictions to find each other and rebuild their lives together in this affecting debut memoir.” - Kirkus Reviews.

“Have you ever read a book, that upon finishing, you just knew would be a story that would stay with you for a long, long time? Well, that certainly was the case for me when I finished the last words of The Painting and The Piano… Authors John Lipscomb and Adrianne Lugo have done a splendid job in telling their unique stories in a wonder-fully intertwined way that pulls them both together. The stories, though difficult, are told delicately, and will grab readers from the very beginning. I was unable to put down this book until the very end…” - Reviewed by Tracy Slowiak for Readers’ Favorite.

luna roSauna Rosa are a quartet hailing from Corby Northamptonshire.

Rosa brings a raucous sound that the music industry has been missing for far too long.

Big beats to shake your cranium, groovy rhythms, guitars that scream and wail like a banshee. Walls of sound that force the people to move, all laced with anthemic lyrics.

Luna Rosa bring an Alternative/Indie sound that crosses over into various genres to create something new.

Forming in 2014, Luna Rosa were quick off the mark getting a set together and racking up almost 80 gigs within a year.

In 2015, Luna Rosa traveled the country while playing all over; coast to coast. Gaining airplay from the likes of Tom Robinson on BBC6 and various other stations. November saw the release of their single “Fever” and their self-titled debut EP.

In 2016, Luna Rosa are touring for their self-titled debut EP to really push it out there with the hopes of recording another EP that would be ready for the summer time.

The crowds are growing, the songs are getting better, and Luna Rosa are on a roll.

lifestyle comes across clearly in his lyrical content. Abundance’s

musical influences range from Notorious BIG, Jay Z, Rick James and

many others.

Mobb. He’s also the President of Music Operations for S&M Media

Group LLC. Dmaxxx received a Bachelor’s in Marketing from Shaw

From the sunny shores of a Floridian sky to the

ears and eyes of a worldwide audience BWD has

grown from an acorn of an idea into an oak tree

of industry-might, its roots deep within the strata

of social sites and online promotions, its branch-

es far-reaching and bearing fruitfulness aplenty.

Starting out developing websites Ms. Keach aka Ms. V proved her-

self more guru than mere graphic designer, her final works forging

a reputation of being the go-to girl for all things attention grab-

bing and intuitive.

Quickly she began laying the foundations for what would become

her own empire, reputation growing with each engagement and

the horizon of possibilities expanding even further than first

dreamed.

Whilst making some of the connections that would see BWD

become a leader in its field murmurings and mutterings regarding

the state of the music business came filtering through the wire.

Listening to the sounds of discontent chattering in the background

it became clear that, for all the talented individuals with credible

worth vying for the attentions of a label or promoter, those in the

Industry were more concerned with how profitable a bottom-line

they could wring from their talents than the merits and music of

the people themselves.

An avid appreciator of new and classic music Veralyn saw a gap

in the market for someone with the knowledge and nous, con-

nections and cunning, and - of course - the dedication to provide

a credible alternative to those as-yet unsigned greats of music, a

platform for them to launch themselves into the airwaves and soar

into the charts.

With each passing year BWD has grown in both experience and

influence, the listening world turning up the dial to be the first to

hear the latest unsigned extravagances of talent bursting from the

underground and across a global stage.

Not only affording the world of music a genuine outlet to purvey

it’s unbridled talents BWD Radio also promotes and inspires the

musicians it unveils, the multi-faceted nature of BWD incorporat-

ing all avenues of generating awareness and recognition to the

talents it reveals, encouraging the growth of their fan-base and

helping propel them onto the iPods and bedroom walls of a global

audience.

With the recent successful launch of the BWD Radio app the audi-

ence all artists are looking to find are as close as they have ever

been, right on the other side of millions of touch-screens and

monitors, smart-phones and tablets all bearing the app’s visage

across their surface.

Now a major player in the world of radio and media, the leader in

the field of generating buzz around the artists it plays on its non-

stop, commercial free station, and proudly wearing the banner of

being The Home Of The Indie Artists BWD founder Ms. V has proven

you don’t need a thousand lawyers fighting over who gets the

best parking spot in front of offices to forge a dominant empire

of multi-faceted out-lets; as the late great British entertainer Roy

Castle once said ‘Dedication’s all you need’.

Alex, a Soul/R&B vocalist and actor is no stranger to the entertainment scene. Having started his entertain-ment career at the tender age of 7 years old, he toured throughout the

southeast region with his siblings.

Alex has a growing worldwide following due to his #1 hit singles titled, “Hope For Us” and “Love Line”, as well as his Top 20 Billboard success, “Don’t Walk Away” with his brothers, A7, and his electrify-ing, soulful, engaging performances.

Alex’s polished lyrical styling and dynamic energy is a breath of fresh air with a very earthy twist that transcends multiple audiences everywhere he performs; including two (2) of the Presidential Inaugural Galas, Premier of Bermuda Gala, Premier of Ireland Gala, as well as many other prestigious galas, schools, colleges, corporate events, and festi-vals worldwide.

Most recently, Alex performed at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade in NYC.

Alex has not only headlined his own shows, but has graced stages with entertainers and actors, such as Al Green, Bobby Rush, Eric Benet, John Legend, Kirk Franklin, Lamman Rucker, Leon and many others. In addition to Alex’s music career, he started his own music program for students, ACT: Arts Conservatory for Teens. By creating ACT, Alex is giving kids between the ages of 11-18 the oppor-tunity to express themselves freely and encour-age them to be creative while refining their artis-tic skills in a professional environment; a chance Alex himself was never given.

ACT also serves as a support group between aca-demic institutions and parents; ensuring that stu-dents are prepared to pursue higher education. It

has a 100% graduation rate, and a 100% college placement rate.

Alex firmly believes in an artist’s social respon-sibility; the accountability of empowering local communities through partnering with organiza-tions that will support the cause. For Alex, it’s his ACT program that provides the platform for that social responsibility. He’s made it his duty to empower the youth of socioeconomically challenged communities worldwide.

Eventually, Alex plans to have more ACT’s; each in a major city, throughout the U.S. and abroad.

Arriving just in time for the festive season and family gatherings, Alex’s recent Holiday song “Please Come Home For Christmas” appears on the album “A Classic Holiday” and Presented by MBK/Sony Entertainment.

Other Featured Artists Include: ALICIA KEYS, TYRESE, BRANDY, ELLE VARNER, COKO, JUSTIN SKYE, GABI WILSON, AND MANY OTHERS!!!

Alex’s soulful and invigorating rendition of “Please Come Home for Christmas” brings in the holidays with a body rocking, toe tapping, head bopping excitement!

“Please Come Home for Christmas, is one of my favorite holiday tunes”, says Alex. “This holiday, I am dedicating this song to the women and men who often leave their homes and families to serve our wonderful country. It is one of my ways of saying thank you!”

avvy, fun, creative, adventurous, determined and delightfully

unexpected are a good start, but adjectives begin to run out

well before facets of SaraBeth’s artistry do. A force-of-nature

Texan who is already building a meaningful presence as a

singer, songwriter and entertainer, she is a virtual lock to take

the next step – if only because she hasn’t missed one yet.

Earning fans one show at a time, landing considerable regional media exposure,

scoring two nationally charted singles, developing a base in her native Texas,

expanding it nationally and even internationally with a successful U.K. Tour in

2014, SaraBeth has made astounding strides in a very short time. And the release

of her self-titled EP and aggressive first single “I’m Sick Of It” will surely carry her

even further. Unusually, however, for someone who’s gone all-in as an artist, music

wasn’t her life’s goal.

Raised in the Dallas area, SaraBeth found joy in music, to be sure. “I always loved

singing,” she says. “My first song was ‘Frosty the Snowman’ and my mother says it

wasn’t annoying at all when I sang it for the 500th time. Not to mention Lambchop’s

“The Song that Never Ends”, “Lord help my parents and grandparents,” she laughs.

Despite her appreciation for music and a good bit of education and practice

through her childhood, it never seemed a likely destination. A self-professed nerd

who loved school, SaraBeth attended Baylor majoring in entrepreneurship. “My

thought was to go be a power business woman, which probably would have landed

me in real estate. But I knew I wouldn’t be able to sit in a cubicle or behind a desk.

From the age of 15 through college I was a waitress and being up, moving and talking

to people seemed to fit me better. It was more fun.”

SaraBeth paid her way through college and spent the summer after graduation

teaching music in the Dominican Republic. “That was the best experience of my life,”

she says. “There’s so much you can do with an entrepreneurship degree, but being

fluent in Spanish gave me that opportunity. When the music teacher dropped out and

they asked me, it was a nudge toward music. Then my brother got drafted by the St.

Louis Cardinals, and I started thinking. I realized I didn’t want to look back and wonder

what would have happened if I had tried. Instead of spending the rest of my life won-

dering, I headed to Nashville and tried to learn as much as I could as fast as I could.”

Country music was not just the obvious choice; it was the only choice. SaraBeth’s

parents listened to light Rock and Christian music. Her father sang low bass in

his college gospel group. “I have vivid memories of him popping in a cassette and us

singing along to ‘Step Into The Water’ on repeat,” she says. “But the moment I really

fell in love with music is when I found my great grandmother’s cassettes of Patsy Cline

and Alan Jackson. I played them so much at her house that eventually she was like,

‘You can just take these with you.’ On that four hour drive home, I’m pretty sure we

listened to ‘Chattahoochee’ for at least a third of the trip.”

Even on her way to Nashville years later, the concept of a career was far from her

mind. “I thought I would record three songs, cross it off my bucket list and be done,”

she admits. Instead, she caught the bug. “The first stuff I did was so wrong because

I had to unlearn all the classical training I got growing up. It was quite a process.

Self-doubt tries to take over, but you keep going anyway.”

S

“You’re scared and learning, but without any experience you count on oth-

ers and end up taking in a lot of opinions. Eventually you realize that’s

putting you in a box that looks a lot like a cookie cutter. Every day 100 new

singers move into town and getting where you want to go doesn’t mean

sounding like everyone else.”

Writing became a focus and her style evolved to reflect her music col-

lection. “I have everything from Chamber music and Christian to Hip Hop

and Country. We write a lot of stuff with drum loops on the bottom, and we

mix in synthesizer, fiddle and steel, whatever works for the song.”

On her latest collection, SaraBeth collaborated with established writ-

ers: Glen Mitchell, Tim Morgan, Sandy Ramos, Brian Eckert and Gwen

Sebastian. Taken as a whole, the EP is a well-rounded exposition of

who she is, framed by her confident alto.

SaraBeth freshens the rodeo/romance analogy with “You Rock My Ro-

deo” and paints a perfect sound picture of her personality with “Runnin’

Outta Lipstick”, “You Keep Me Smilin’” is as clever and fun as “Do What

You Say You’re Gonna Do” is serious and heartfelt. And the guitar-driven

anthem “I’m Sick Of It” showcases an unbridled aggression that’s more

than welcome in today’s Country music.

The writing session for the single gives a window into her creative

vision. “It was a rainy day and Gwen and I were laughing. She is just a

hoot! Then Glen started playing this angry riff and one of us said, ‘Uh oh,

it sounds like someone is pissed off.’ Someone else said, ‘Fed up.’ And then

we looked at each other and said, ‘Sick of it.’ We wrote it so fast – probably

less than an hour.”

“That’s the most rocking thing I’ve ever done,” SaraBeth adds. “And it gets

great response. I like to have a lot of fun on stage, dance and let the audi-

ence be a part of a good time.” And her ability to connect has gotten un-

likely affirmation ... in the form of one of America’s favorite beverages.

“I’m not a coffee snob, but I do talk about coffee a lot,” she says. “So people

started sending me coffee related things – hats, mugs, and shirts. When I opened

my post office box and started seeing this stuff, I realized I was connecting. They

really are getting to know me as more than a girl they saw singing somewhere.”

On SaraBeth, they’ll get to know her even better, particularly on the song

“Runnin’ Outta Lipstick.” “I’m known for being a baseball hat nut,” she explains.

“I’ve always been one of those girls who likes to hang out in a rock and roll t-

shirt and converse. Just a chill, all-American girl who can be one of the guys. But

sometimes, I want to put on a black dress and blow them away.” Setting that

dichotomy in even deeper relief is the unexpected turn of phrase that pep-

pers her writing. “We drop in some fun lines like, ‘Slap your mama, drop dead.’

It’s sort of different, but it works.” Or maybe it works because it’s different. Sort

of like SaraBeth.

Welcome! Please introduce us to SaraBeth… I’m just a Texas girl living in a

Tennessee world! I love travelling, coffee, sweatpants, my dog (Dallas), running,

and my stay cool pillow (which may be one of the top 10 greatest inventions

ever).

Tell us how you started out. The turning point from college, business careers

to when your musical journey began. The Epiphany if you will. What inspired/

motivated you to pursue a new career of passion within the realm of Music

& Entertainment? I feel like we all grow up dreaming about what we want to

do. For me, I wanted to be singer...especially when I found out the nurse’s outfit

didn’t look like the Halloween costumes! Eventually I let my own self-doubt get

in the way and decided college and a degree was the right thing to do. I made

the decision to pursue my music dreams again once my younger brother got

drafted to play for the St. Louis Cardinals. He was definitely my inspiration! It’s

been such a fun ride so far! I’m incredibly thankful for everyone who’s helped me

to get where I am! It’s a team effort!

Congratulations on the recent release of your ‘self-titled’ EP and the first

single titled, “I’m Sick Of It”! What was the inspiration behind this particular

track and what can the listeners expect from your sound and storytelling?

Thanks!! Well, it’s rockin’! I wrote this song with Gwen Sebastian and Glen

Mitchell. It was actually the first time we ever wrote together. I remember it was

cold and rainy and we were at my apartment laughing...at nothing really. Natu-

rally 3 laughing people wrote the most angry break-up song they could think of.

We got the inspiration from something that Glen played on the guitar. Gwen said,

“This sounds like someone who’s just sick of it.” And a song was born!

Tell us more about your self-entitled EP! Which singles are closer to your

heart and why? As well as, how many tracks are on the EP? I titled this EP

“SaraBeth” because it’s the first project I’ve put out where I co-wrote all the songs.

I finally understand what people mean when they use the phrase “I’ve grown as

an artist.” Glen Mitchell also co-wrote all the songs and produced the EP (and

played all the guitar parts. He’s a talented dude). We had fun and experimented

with different sounds. Each of the songs is special to me for a different reason.

If you ask for my favorite today, it’ll change by tomorrow!

Share with us some of your Musical Influences while growing up and what

and or who inspires you to be the artist that you are today? Shania Twain and

The Dixie Chicks were pretty much all you would find in my 5 disc CD changer in

high school...a little Michelle Branch too!

What had first seemed to be the most unlikely genre of music for you to write

and sing; what moved your heart to pursue a career in Country music; even

though you were exposed to Light Rock, Christian, etc. music while growing

up? Oh, and we ‘must not’ forget about “Frosty The Snowman” either! ;)

The first CD I ever owned was Alan Jackson’s greatest hits and a Patsy Cline

album. They may have actually been cassette tapes. I wore them out! My family

has a very eclectic taste in music. I grew up singing at the Garland Opry, and just

loved the lyrics of country music. To me, country music is about telling a story. It

talks about the good, the bad, and the ugly, but they’re real life things that hap-

pen to real life people. They’re songs that make you dance and others that make

you cry because you can relate.

As a vocalist, writer, and entertainer; what do you feel have been some your

greatest accomplishments? Everything that’s happened in my music career

feels a little surreal. I’ve had big dreams my entire life, but when those things

start happening you kinda feel like you actually are dreaming. I’ve been able to

write with some absolutely amazing people Glen Mitchell (Livin’ Our Love Song

by Jason Michael Carroll), Arlos Smith (Mayberry by Rascal Flatts), Dean Sams

(from Lonestar), Sandy Ramos (Let ‘er Rip by the Dixie Chicks). My last EP also hit

the Top 10 on iTunes. I still remember someone sending me the screen shot. I’ve

made so many amazing memories...big and small!

The Guys WILL want to know… So…are you single?! Haha...no one’s put a

ring on it yet!

Where can we go, digitally, to get your awesome music? The best “Google

INTRODUCTION

It’s amazing to me to see how many untruths there are within and surrounding the medical profession. Despite the rigors of getting into medical school, its intense curriculum require-ments and long training hours, people listen to TV and movie personalities for advice or some muscle bound trainer who barely got out of high school. Myths, incorrect ideology and even downright corruptible advice to sell something is all around us. For me, one of the biggest TRAGEDIES is running and it almost snuggles up to Shakespeare.

People run for many reasons but none

of them make any sense unless a lion is

in pursuit. Studies have reported that

power walking (get heart rate up) is just

as beneficial health wise as running but

won’t wear out your knees, hips or ankles in the process. So why

do people do it? A false sense of betterment, Pea-cocking, and

forget about those endorphins because these molecules have

been found to be too big to get into the central nervous system

so they don’t effect brain enjoyment.

runnIng for Your lIfe

If you have any doubt about running and

people knowing what they are doing, let’s

look at running sneakers. First there was

the “minimalist” ones, to be followed by

the “maximalist”, to “FAT” soles, to “FLAT”

soles, to the “MIDSOLES” to God knows what’s next. Nobody

knows but everyone is an expert and mostly to sell you footwear.

For you runners out there, I’m sure you are running out of money

and closet space too because of all that footwear. The fact is,

there is no “real” running shoe because you’re “Running out of

Time”.

THE TRUTH

If you want maximum benefit from exercise, “DON’T RUN”.

Power walk to elevate your heart rate and maintain it there for a

total of 3 hours weekly. That’s called, “isometrics”. By the way, you

can break it up 20 minutes here, 30 minutes there, as long as it

adds up to 3 hours weekly. One more thing. It’s been shown that

excessive exercise, running, causes a free radicle avalanche in your

lungs that can lead to pulmonary fibrosis (scarred lungs) so if you

insist on running, make sure that you take a bushel of antioxidants

every day and get that oxygen tank ready! The next time you see

someone running, with their ear buds, think of a large turkey (not a

peacock) whose tail is on fire, heading for that Thanksgiving Table

because that is how they will end up.

BeautY tIPS for CHrIStMaSTips for looking your best on Christmas Eve!

On Christmas Eve many people go out to parties or visit with families. It is a time to be around others and to spread joy. When going out on Christmas Eve a woman wants to look her best. There are some tips to help a woman look great for this special evening. She will be looking as good on the outside as she is feeling on the inside.

Do Not Forget SunscreenWhen the temperature is cold and winter has arrived many peo-ple do not think that sunscreen is needed. This is a big mistake. Just because a person is not spending hours outdoors does not mean the rays of the sun do not reach them. Every time a person is heading outside they need to apply sunscreen. This is impor-tant to do even on cloudy days. Sunscreen will help keep the body protected and will also help keep the skin looking great.

Use Lip ColorIn the winter lips tend to dry out. They can become cracked which can be painful at times. Adding Chap Stick will help hydrate the lips but often Chap Stick does not come in a color. For Christmas Eve a lip shade with a little color is going to be needed. To keep the lips hydrated while still looking good select a lipstick that has moisturizing properties. Usually this information can be found right on the package. Popular colors for Christmas Eve include pinks, reds, and even a coral tone. A little bit of lip gloss can also be applied for an extra shine.

ExfoliateExfoliating the skin will help keep it looking fresh. When a person

exfoliates they are removing dead skill cells that look tired and

dull. Once these skin cells are removed a layer of new and fresh

cells will appear. These skin cells will help a person stay look-

ing great. A person should exfoliate around the holidays at least

twice a week. This can be done with scrubs that are purchased

or made at home. This will also help open the pores and allow

dirt and other build up to be removed. Exfoliating will help keep

the skin firm, help instantly lighten the skin complexion and

make the skin look good and fresh. By the time Christmas Eve

comes around the woman will be looking her best at the party.

De-stressThe holiday time can be very stressful. There is so much to do and

there is limited time to get it down. Also everything is very expen-

sive which can put a big dent in finances. In order to stay looking

good for Christmas Eve it is important to handle this stress. There

are procedures that can help a person relax. A massage is a great

way to unwind. When a person is not feeling stress their skin will be

healthy looking and they will have a glow. When feeling the holiday

pressure take a minute and do something to help get rid of the stress.

Stay HydratedWhen a person goes out for the holidays including Christmas Eve they

may have an adult beverage or two. Or several. Alcohol dehydrates

the skin making it look tired and dull. A person needs to remember

to drink plenty of water. This will replenish the body and allow the

skin to stay healthy. Water is important for the glowing look as well.

A person should increase their water intake to help keep the skin

looking good especially if they know they are going to be celebrating.

Do Not Overdo ItAs a woman is preparing for this night she may add additional

steps and products to her skin care routine. This is something

that should not be done. Adding additional products can irri-

tate the skin and cause redness. She should stick with her usual

ways. It is also important to keep up with this routine. Around

the holidays there is so much to do that things often get over-

looked. She should continue to clean her face and skin as normal.

This is one thing that she cannot lax in. If a woman is looking

to brighten her skin she can use a skin brightening product.

The best skin brightener can help instantly lighten the skin

complexion and make the skin look new and fresh once again.

These are just some of the beauty tips out there to stay looking great on Christmas Eve. This day is to celebrate with friends and family and following these beauty tips will help a person look their best.

We have often heard about the trials, tribulations and hardships of being

an independent music artist. Many will tell you it is no less difficult being

an independent film maker. From finding the players to scouting locations

and just getting the funding to fulfil your vision, these and other issues can

all trip you up individually needless to say what any combination can do

to thwart your best efforts. Recently we caught up with a successful indie

film maker to discuss his history and current projects. May we introduce

you to Dexter Tucker…

My name is Dexter Tucker, I am from Atlanta, Georgia. I’ve been doing

stand-up comedy for the last 13 years. I am a film maker as well. I’ve

just finished my second film, my first one was called ‘A Comedy Club

Movie’ we made a classic comedy, good comedy that you will be seeing

on all your digital outlets soon, Netflix, iTunes, Vimeo. And my second

movie is called ‘Jimmy did you get one’? We went in a totally different

direction. This is a horror drama, it’s

very realistic, it’s about…it’s based on

true stories and it’s about abduction,

it’s about child abduction. We’re going

on in this small town and it was going

on for a period of over 10 years and

the police didn’t really have many good

clues and it’s something very real and

near and dear to my heart. I did a lot of

research on it and every forty seconds

in the US a child becomes missing or

abducted and we see Amber Alerts and

things like that but after a day or so you

don’t see it anymore. You never know if

that child got found, and a lot of times

they didn’t and it’s something real. I grew up in Atlanta during the child

missing and child murders. I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of that but I

grew up in the middle of that. I was grade school age and you know

walking home from school and playing outside and every time we go

in the house and watch the news there was another child found dead

and that was for a period of almost like around 2 years I think. That

was real scary times in Atlanta so I wanted to make something deep.

I wanted to make some good, positive movies along with my partner

Jerry May… we are trying to put out great movies. We’re trying to follow

the footsteps of great film makers like Robert Townsend, Tyler Perry, F.

Gary Gray, and Spike Lee.

That is so commendable and you know what, we need more of that in the

Black community but now let me ask you this: how do you transition from

doing a movie about comedy to doing a movie about child abuse, kidnap-

ping, and what was the thought process that happened in-between there?

Well actually what happened was the first movie I did… I was doing

stand-up like I said and I saw it wasn’t a real outlet for comedians like

it used to be maybe ten - twenty years ago when they had DEF Comedy

Jam and they had Comic View and all these different outlets, they don’t

have anymore. I worked with a lot of funny guys over the last ten years

at that time and all over the country and they were hilarious but you

know they were only doing these small rooms and there’s pretty much

the chitlin circuits. So I said the best way for me to help them and to

help myself and do my first film is to get some of these funny, hilari-

ous guys in a film and let them shine. So I did that, wanted to make a

classic and I think we succeeded in that.

Upon finishing that I met Jerry May and

he came on to help me edit the movie

at the end. So as he edited the movie

and I saw how good he was at what he

did. Jerry had the idea about Jimmy…

Jimmy was his idea. He originally started

writing the movie and I came on and

continued to write because writing and

directing is my forte. I always thought

I’d be a good filmmaker because I

always knew what I wanted to see in a

movie - I’m just like a big movie buff and

I always knew what I needed to see in a

movie. I felt like I knew what was miss-

ing for us. We’re a big market, we spend a lot of money, and we end up

going to watch stuff that we don’t even like, that’s really not for us, but

we still want to go to the movies and we watch a lot of television as

well. So that’s how we came about Jimmy, that was Jerry’s idea… he’s a

brilliant film maker and director and editor and writer as well. Getting

a strong team together was Godsend because he and I together made

a great team.

That’s awesome, and I find this happens a lot when you’re in a position where

someone can help you do one thing you find that they can open up so many

creative doors for you. They just bring something out of you that makes you

able to cross boundaries and do different things and that’s what it kind of

sounds like to me. Like Jimmy…I’m sorry, like the movie Jimmy, but what is

the guy’s name again?

Jerry May

Jerry May, alright because I was thinking Jimmy [laughter].

Another Jerry May production

It sounds like Jerry kind of tapped into that with you, like he was able to open

up a different way for you to look at things and that you guys were able to.

He did, he did and I’m so glad that I met Jerry because once we started

working on this you know I had…it really touched me because like I said

growing up in Atlanta when the child murder thing was going on, I know

how it felt on both sides, the fear in the community; and in the movie

‘Jimmy did you get one’ we come in at you from three different angles.

We come in at you from the police investigation, from this family how

they feel and how helpless they feel, the community how they feel about

children coming up missing and they have…they feel helpless about it and

also from Jimmy’s point of view from him going out doing the abductions

but no one knows who is doing them so... It’s a really good movie, I am

excited, and I really can’t wait for everybody to see it.

Wow. Yes it sounds a little bit like ‘Silence of the lambs’ meets ‘Boys in the

hood’...I am so, so, so looking forward to seeing it, and I promise you that I

will. Now, are you still doing stand-up comedy?

Yes, I am, I’m still doing comedy, and I’m on the road most weekends. I just

came back from L.A. I hosted the NAFCA: African International Oscars, with

African international beauties along with Omarosa, she was my co-host

and that was great. Yeah they honoured…oh my God, what’s her…Florence

from ‘The Jeffersons’ name…Florence Johnston {Marla Gibbs}, they hon-

oured her, they honoured Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs and they honoured

James Brown as well and they gave out all the awards for the international

movies and that was great, that was probably one of the biggest shows

I’ve done in my career and I’ve been touring doing comedy clubs the last

ten years so yeah I still love comedy but the film making was always my

goal from the beginning.

Omarosa was nice man…that was my first time meeting her.

Now I need you to tell me about Omarosa. What was that like?

You know what? I had never met Omarosa. I met her for the first time

where we did a little rehearsal and we hosted the show Saturday night

and she was really nice, she was fun, she had a great sense of humour

and that’s right up my alley and we played off each other well and we

kept the crowd laughing. I like Omarosa, she’s really cool. You know she

is a character, she is a character. I mean when I met her, I mean I didn’t

take her serious not one second ‘cause she joked around the whole time.

She’s a character.

I’ll accept that, we’ll accept that, everybody listening in, did you all hear that?

We have to stop hating on Omarosa because she ain’t that evil that she was

on Wendy Williams Show.

Nah, she’s not. She had her mother with her. Shout out to Mama Rosa that

she called her Mama Rosa. Her mother was with her at all times, she was

cool, I didn’t know what to expect, I’m a comedian so I was going to adapt

to whatever, but she was cool, she really was.

Now let me ask you this question, cause I know you get this question a whole

lot. Do you know what the question is? **Morpheus voice**. Do you know the

question? [Laughter]

What question?

Come on now.

What’s the question?

Are you Chris Tucker’s brother?

Yeah I’m Chris tucker’s brother, a matter of fact I just walked out the house

outside so I can hear you guys, he’s in the house right now running his big

mouth. Yeah that’s my brother..

Oh wow. So now as you being a comedian and he’s a comedian, how hard is it

like to make your own way in comedy?

Well, when I started doing comedy you know I started late. Comedy is all

Chris ever did. He did it right out of high school you know. I always sup-

ported him but I did a lot of other things.

I went to college and I had a trucking company…real estate throughout

my 20s. When I got right around 30 I was like oh man I want to have some

fun this isn’t what life’s all about. So everybody was always trying to get

me to do comedy so I started doing it but I respected the game. I knew

you couldn’t just jump on that stage and be good right way, it takes time,

cause I watched…I remember when Bruce Bruce was getting started and

Earthquake and all those guys. I watched them. I went the route, I did the

same clubs, did the same underground spots got booze, everything, and so

I earned the respect of the comedians first in the underground, in Atlanta

first. So I didn’t try to just cut me in off his name and just try to shine and

people put me on shows just because of the Tucker name, sell a few extra

tickets, naw you’re not going to embarrass me, I took my time and paid my

dues… a lot of people thought well you’re just trying to do this because

your brother is…naw I’m doing it because I’m a hustler and it looked like

a good way to go, it’s better than the job I had.

Well you know, I have to answer that because I actually did do comedy a few

times I had one of my…well one of my friends his name is Rasheed he was a

very big comedian and he was coming up and I remember him when we were

young and he was just trying you know, when the teeth were bad.

Rasheed that passed?

Yes sir

Yeah, I {knew} Rasheed, yeah…

He’d been a very, very good friend of mines, as a matter of fact I was with him

the week that he passed away and he put me on the stage and also another

good friend of mine is Brooklyn Mike, I don’t know if you’re familiar with

Brooklyn Mike.

Brooklyn Mike, yeah I knew all the comedians, over thirteen years I met

them all…

Yeah and he also put me on the stage and I tell you something to all the

listeners that are listening, it is totally a science to do a stand-up. You have

to have timing; you have to have…you have to be funny but more important

your timing is everything, who knew that!

It’s an art, it’s a craft definitely, and I mean what we call…being cook-out

funny and hitting that stage is two totally different things. You’re going

to get booed, you got to keep going out there, and you got to build your

set. People would be surprised how long it takes to get a 20 minute set,

until you get a good solid 15-20 minute set then you’re not going to make

any money. You can be an opening act once you get like 15-20 minutes,

but when I tell you it takes like 5-6 years maybe to get that, people are

surprised. Now you see somebody on TV doing like a 5 minute set okay,

but 20 minutes is a long time.

Tell everybody the name of the movie again.

Okay the name of the movie is ‘Jimmy Did You Get One’? We do have a

website that you can go on and look at clips of the movie: http://www.

jimmydidyougetone.com/ and also you can look for the ‘Comedy Club’; you

can YouTube trailers of both of them. I also have a radio show on Internet

Radio http://www.404live.com/ which is a relationship based…relation-

ship forum show where people send their letters in and we have forums

and we can talk about relationship issues. It’s very funny.

Well Mr. Tucker it’s been great speaking with you, thank you for your time!

Thank you for having me.

Recently I heard my 4 year old daughter cry-ing in her room. I kept calling her and asking why she was crying but she kept on.

Eventually, I found out her drawer would not fit back into her dress-er so she thought she must have broken it.

She tried to fix it on her own but was unable to and so she started to cry.

When I figured out why she was crying, I said “You should have just come to me and said ‘Mum, I think my drawer is broken, and I’d have fixed it for you.” Eventually, that is what I did.

It got me thinking, ‘how many times we try to fix things on our own without calling out to God for help!’ Our Heavenly Father is just waiting for us to reach out to Him and ask for help!

This is for everyone reading this! Be encouraged! He can fix it!

Call on Him! Run to Him! Cry out to Him! He can handle it! He is able!

“Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.” (Psalms 50:15 NKJV)

You can do all things through Christ. You can make it, you have what it takes.

Be Inspired! With Love, Eloho

ixty-Nine Crash is a Sleaze/Hard Rock band from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2013, they were formed by three friends: Jay B Roxx on vocals/guitar, Davis Ramay on guitar and Andy

Carvalho on bass.

Their passion for music, especially the 80’s hair metal bands like KISS and Mötley Crüe, along with the mix of 2000’s European Hard Rock scene; including Crashdïet, Santa Cruz, and a little bit of pop accent is what makes this band’s sound different from any other.

In 2014, Sixty-Nine Crash released their first album, in digital format, titled “LOUDER!” which was produced by Celo Oliveira; a well-known Brazilian metal musician and producer.

In early 2015, Demon Doll Records invited them to be a part of their team and released the physical album including ‘Rebel Yell’ (Billy Idol cover) as a bonus track.

“If you are looking for what might be the next Glam Rock trea-sure”, says Demon Doll Records, “then don’t pass up on this chest - open it up & let SIXTY-NINE CRASH shine in their true Hard Rock light! Highly recommended listening!”

Currently, Sixty-Nine Crash’s music is playing at numerous

international stations throughout the USA, Europe, Australia, and Brazil.

Sixty-Nine Crash just released their video for the new single ‘Everything I Need’, which is already becoming a success with more than 1000 views in only four days.

Sixty-Nine Crash is now in the studio rehearsing and prepar-ing for their first worldwide tour.
