Show Notes:

Back in 06′ Courtney sat down with musician Hakim Awolana in AZ. During the interview Hakim and Courtney speak about:

  • His start in music
  • Our youth
  • Jazz, Blues, Hip-Hop
  • Radio programing
  • Another movement?
  • The power of music

For booking visit: Hakim Awolana (The Brassman)

A fan of Hakim’s sent me an email and asked us to post this interview again. Given what’s going on in politics and media, he thought we should revisit.

It’s a long interview but it’s a great because we just hung out and talked. Like old friends enjoying good food, music, wine and conversation we just flowed.

Since this is an old show, the contact information I give at the end of the show no longer works. So I’ll apologize now for any confusion.

I know I’m not suppose to have favorites, but one of my favorite interviews of all time was with a fella name Gemineye. He was in Phoenix judging for a poetry slam and I was fortunate enough to get an interview. Not only do I love this show because I love Gemineye but because I got the chance to be the 3rd wheel on this one.

The interview was conducted by Issim (learn more about him soon) while I was left with the editing. So what you get is (what I think is pretty darn good production) a person to person interview mixed with a live performance clips of Gemineye.

To find out a bit more about Gemineye you can check out his Bio and MySpace.

Lexi graduated from UCLA with a degree in English. She also received a certificate in professional screenwriting from UCLA.

Fascinated by the supernatural realm, Lexi prefers to write stories that are out-of-the-ordinary. At first, she wrote horror but that ended after she scared herself a few times and ran out of the room. Convinced by an editor to focus on her witty sense of humor, sharp dialogue and unique voice, Lexi abandoned hard-edged horror and opted to write wickedly entertaining, humorous stories. This move landed her a multi-book deal with Pocket Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.

Her debut novel, PRETTY EVIL, was released in October, 2005 to rave reviews and was nominated by The ROMANTIC TIMES BOOK CLUB for “Best First Novel, African American.”
