While living in Atlanta since fall 1994, I have had many opportunities to meet good people regardless of their status in society. I have met big superstars and hung out with nobodies. I have an easy going personality and I try to be friends with everyone. As yall know, atlanta is full of inflated egos, cristal sippers, move fakers, wanna-be players, hoes, ghetto hoes, uppidity negroes, conscious cats, neo soulers and a few down to earth people. I have been blessed with the opportunity to meet and be friends with 2 of atlanta's most real people. First, Lady Metroya runs hazeleyes.com and she is a singer, beautiful sista, writer, manager, booking agent, music industry consultant, event planner, part time home girl, 91.9 wclk radio host and full time angel. She is in the know around town and use to put on this event called strawberry sundaze at Endenu. I sent Metroya a artist package in relation to showing some of my work at her event and she was very professional. The event had sadly run it's course and was being dissolved but she did keep in touch and said she would keep me in mind for future events. Metroya also can be heard on the radio on saturdays at 91.9 wclk if my memory serves me correctly. I took this picture of her and kelsy at live poets society wingman Cocktails REEL Talk event out in stone mountain. Metroya has a smile that will light up alaska during the winter solstice and she always smells good. On top of all that, she is soulfully sexy and those eyes are priceless jewels. Every time I see her, she always speaks and gives a hug. She is a good example of a cool person. If yall hear about a hazel eyes event or Metroya performing, yall please show some love to this sista. Check out her myspace page or www.hazeleyez.com
Kelsy Davis and The Radical Soul is a great band. This brotha gets down during his performances. I got to be apart of a event put on by live poets society frontman Abyss up at dave and busters. If yall haven't seen Kelsy perform his hit "slave to the rhythm" live, then yall aint living right. This brotha is a big name dude and he treated everybody that night with respect. He went around the audience shaking hands and thanking people for coming out. He came to the back where me and some other folks were set up selling our goods and did the same. I got a chance to witness kelsy and some other folks perform at a spot over by georgia tech. He tore it down and then told the crowd he was leaving for L.A. Every time I see kelsy round town, he speaks and shows that he is a cool person. It is hard to find real people around atlanta who aint souped or out for the fame. Kelsy Davis performs on the regular at Apache Cafe with special guest Abyss. If yall get a chance, please go and check these brothers out. Check out their myspace pages and buy 5 copies of their albums each. It is worth it.
We need to continue to support people like Metroya and Kelsy. They are doing their thing and sharing their gifts with us while remaining grounded.
peace
