THE COTTON CLUB X-PERIENCE
So many thoughts rushed through my mind as I stood on that stage. How n the world did I get here, @ this very moment, and where would I b another year from now? Then, the sound of a cymbal crash warped me back n 2 the present, my mouth opened and b 4 I knew it, I was sitt'n back stage thank'n everyone for a wonderful performance, 2 a packed house @ the Cotton Club; Tokyo, Japan.
I've had so many dreams n my life, but none of which ever involved perform' n @ such a wonderful venue. The COTTON CLUB X-PERIENCE, has truly set precedence n my professional career. Todays entry will basically outline the events that ocurred dur'n the day of June 21, 2006.
I want 2 thank everyone that came out 2 the show. It would not have been a suceess without any of the hundreds of people that packed the house 4 the show. To all of my family, friends and Brosiacs, thank u 4 com'n out 2 hear an unsigned, independent, neo-soul artist and demand'n more of "Music 4 Yo Soul".
11:00 A.M. - The day begin after I woke up and gave reverence 4 the bless'n that I was go'n 2 receive. Next, I immediately called my manager, got my information, and turned off the phone (it never fails, on the day of the show I got more phone calls than I can handle. . .People want'n tickets, passes, etc. . .I don't mind that but I just don't have time 4 those type of issues the day of a show. . . So I let my manager deal with it). Afterwards I started on a very demand'n task, my hair. 4 those of u who haven't looked @ the photo's, website, etc .. . .I have locs. Loc'n my hair takes me all of 2 hrs. 2 do. .lol.
2:30 P.M.- I arrived @ the venue around 2:30 P.M. and the first thing 2 greet me, was a big photo of myself outside of the Cotton Club. Almost felt kind of scary. As I approached the door, I immediately heard the band work'n on my music. . . .. It was like the heavens had opened it's doors and rained upon me. . .
We went through a sound check, finished, and began 2 get ready 4 the show. This is when the pressure begin 2 build. . . .I tried 2 play the PSP, listened 2 Anthony Hamilton, but nothing subsided the anxious itch. . . .
Tick-tock. . . Tick-tock. . . .
6:50 P.M. - Show time is 7:00 P.M. and I'm still not dressed yet. . . lol. . .It dawns on me that it's almost time when my m.d. bangs on the door and summoned me 4 the spiritual enrichment b 4 the show. I quickly put on some pants and come out. . .I look around the room and realized that I was about 2 make history and I was about 2 do it with some of the most respectable indidividuals n the music profession. Bigg Boyy T (Keys), Penny K (keys), Philip Woo (keys), Kenji "Jino" Hino (bs), Lorenzo Braceful (dr), Andy Wulf (sax), Paula Johnson (back vocals), Felicia Enix (back vocals) were all about 2 make history on the infamous Cotton Club stage.
7:00 P.M. - K.D. Brosia makes Cotton Club history.
8:00 P.M. - The greatest feel'n of completeness. . .
9:30 P.M. - The start of the second show 2 a stand'n room only crowd.
10:45 P.M. - A state of emergency. K.D. Brosia and his crew have torn the club up . . . lol. . . . .
Right now, don't have any photo's from the show but I will have them n a few days and I will publish them later 4 all 2 view. This is the begin'n Brosiacs, u'd better get on board now b 4 the train leaves the station. Now leave'n from, "THE COTTON CLUB X-PERIENCE".
