Fame Interview

Posted by lunatic On June - 15 - 2011

fame-studio-800x601

Interview: Let’s get a bit of your background. You grew up in New York; what was that like?

Fame: I grew up in the concrete jungle just like they describe it to be. I come from Brooklyn and not to praise what it is but my environment was crime ridden. It was drugs and all those types of things around me. Anybody that lives in New York knows what it is. The climate is cold for the majority of the year and we get about two months of good weather. Those types of situations made me strong coming from where I was from because they made me wanna’ rise above. I’ve seen a lot of things growing up my dad being one of the biggest drug dealers at the time and my cousins working for him. It was a real crazy situation I was brought it up.

I always tried to use music as my outlet. My family saw that in me and they tried to push me away from it, they didn’t think that was the best thing to be doing. I just kept pushing through with music and I went to an audition for a choir academy in Harlem, you know they’re home to The Boys Choir in Harlem. This was unheard of at the time because I was just a kid from the hood.

I went there for the audition and there were kids there that had been training for this there whole life. I’m walking in there and I ended up getting in. from me being there, it opened my eyes to a wide variety of things. I went to a couple of places with them and I started to learn all types of music. I was learning classical. I learned certain pieces and it made me really appreciate different music and taughtme different melodies.

I incorporate that into my music now and I call that Hybrid Music in the sense that I incorporate different genres of music into my music. It sounds a little bit rock, R&B, pop and some classical stuff. That’s all into one mixtape and that’s why it’s took so long to make it.

Interview: That’s a great answer right there. I think everyone who reads this is very excited about the “Hybrid Season” mixtape. What’s up next for you after the mixtape?

 Fame: We’re gonna’ be focusing more on the album. We have a couple of records that we already put on the album. We’re gonna’ focus more on the album while keep promoting the mixtape. We’re gonna’ keep going hard with that. Hopefully 2012 will be ten times better than 2011.

 Interview: How did you get down with Digiwaxx?

Fame: Honestly my management Jeff Robinson sent the record out to a couple of his people to get some feedback on it. We wanted to see if it was honestly something worth moving forward with. Digiwaxx heard the record and they loved it. They wanted to run with the campaign of it. it was a blessing to even get into that.

Interview: That’s great. I really appreciate your time bro and I want to end it on that note. We urge  everybody to check out the “Coy” single and the “Hybrid Season” mixtape come June 7th. Do you have any last words or final statements before I let you go?

 Fame: Thanks for your time.

Rihanna’s Secret

Posted by lunatic On June - 6 - 2011

Nenna

Robin Rihanna Fenty is an international superstar, better known to the world as simply “Rihanna.” Her staggering success has led her to four Grammy and American Music Awards, 15 Billboard Music Awards and millions upon millions of records sold all over the planet.  In only six years, she has already become one of the biggest selling artists of all-time.

With all of her triumphant success and accolades in the entertainment industry, sadly, she has not been able to have the same achievement with her personal love life.  Over the years, she has been in and out of several relationships that did not last – and even the high-profile one with Chris Brown that spun out of control and ended violently. 

What the general public didn’t know, until now, is that behind closed doors Rihanna is a lesbian. Throughout her life, Rihanna has been secretly bisexual, but the water has run dry and she is no longer interested in men and she wants to tell the world, but she is experiencing some resistance from her business team. 

Rihanna has kept a secret, a woman by the name of Nenna Yvonne whom she met in New York several years back.  Marc Jordan (Rihanna’s former manager) introduced Rihanna and Nenna at a private function for Rebel One Management. According to a source who requested to stay anonymous — this soirée between the two women instantly led to a hotel room in Manhattan where the two had there first romantic encounter, in which Rihanna admitted the next day on a plane ride to the west coast.  Rihanna even said that she has never shared the kind of intimacy with anyone like she had with Nenna. 

This love affair has been going on gradually since then, but recently – Rihanna has wanted to come out of the closet with her lover.  Roc Nation (Rihanna’s current management), has advised the young superstar to stay quiet with her relationship as they don’t want to risk compromising her image, or to potentially jeopardize any of her global sponsorships or endorsements. 

Although this relationship has been hushed, Rihanna has been secretly opening doors for Nenna Yvonne, who is also a singer.  Quickly, Nenna has risen up the ranks in the music industry and Rihanna is eager to prove to Roc Nation and her team of advisors, that together, Nenna and she are the new power couple in the industry.  The young superstar is in love and is convinced that this won’t hurt her career.  As always, Rihanna is a risk-taker… and now her secret is out.
