Picture me minding my own business but my fingers can't keep still and i stumble on this video on youtube. Meet Tony Royster Jnr. Genius doesnt even qualify this young man. I pulled an older video of him doing a drum solo at 12 and another video of him much older. I think he is great.

HeNriSoUL, aLMOst oN bLoW 'o CLocK

So i run a Media/Production outfit with a business partner called Swagcraft Media Company and about a week ago one of our active clients HHQ the management company that signed HENRISOUL put out this well produced video for his 3rd single titled BADMAN. This video was directed by AJE Filmworks, who by the way we think did an amazing job on the video.
I now present this video for your viewing pleasure:

wHAT HaVe i bEEn uP to?

almost a full month into 2014 i have found myself biting a lot more than i can chew and nothing about that thought makes me uneasy. I am currently working on two projects i consider a lot bigger than me in so many ramifications but I trust God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all i can think or imagine. Even as i write this in my mind's eye i can see that everything i would work on this year would have a global effect some how.

Sometimes complaining about the situation of things in your environment is a waste of breathe. So i have opted for the option of making a difference in my immediate sphere of contact. Like someone once said be the change you would like to see in others.

Finally i would just like to encourage you to endeavor to go beyond just dreaming Big by taking small daily steps towards achieving your goals. There will never ever be a perfect time to achieve any worthwhile feat.

CoBHams iNtERviEw oN hOLyHoLLa- 5th JaN 2014

That Cobhams Asuquo is a phenomenal individual is not in doubt. This very vocal and visually impaired genius has continued to be an inspiration to the world, through his life, music and inspirational talks. I had the unique privilege to setup an interview with Cobhams on our show holyholla on Rhythm FM93.7 It was indeed an insightful interview where he talked about his wife, his 2 year old son, the lessons he learned from his time at QuestionMark records way back and how he got to be penned down to perform at this years World Economic Summit, 2014 in Davos, Switzerland. This interview exposes a different side of Cobhams the world is yet to see. Find below an audio podcast of our interview with cobhams.

a BeTTeR wAy to StaRt tHE yEar #PluggedIn

welcome! 2014 is finally here and i sincerely hope the year brings with it radical transformation your lives and endeavors. In light of the new year, HOLYHOLLA is producing its first gospel concert to celebrate the new year. The concert tagged #Pluggedin will hold on Saturday, the 4th of January, 2014 at the Silverbird Galleria Atrium by 4:00PM. In view of this some of the performing artistes at the event have been rehearsing with the plugged in band at the DeeTunes Studio in V.I. Here are some short clips from their rehearsals:

Henrisoul Reheasing...

OkeySokay Rehearsing…

Sokleva & Protek Rehearsing Superhero Lomo

Gameman Beatzjockey Rehearsing Bounce to this..

tHanK yOu GoD!

just before the year grinds to a halt i have to say God has been gracious to my family and I. Alot of good things happended to and for us this year top of which was my getting married and later producing and co-hosting a radio show on RhythmFM with Arthur and Yemi two spectacular guys i have come to know as family also. There is indeed a lot more to be grateful for but this post would never be enough to share how much God has moved in my life. so for that i  am eternally grateful to God for Life, Love, Friends and work.

..bEfoRE yOu set tHose goALs fOr 2014

Over and over again i have voiced my preference for setting goals over making new year resolutions. I won't concern myself about explaining away the difference. The objective of this piece is to nudge you towards political and social awareness especially since we are entering into another election year. I am still very much an optimist and a patriot but blind optimism and patriotism is way behind me.

We all generally have the tendency to make yearly resolutions at this time with the mental assumption that all will continue to be well in our environment, except you are doing that in faith it may be a dangerous way of living. As a matter of fact most of us hardly ever have backup plans for when things ever go south. It might be already apparent to some that as we inch closer and closer to the general elections funds are generally being taken out of the system and stored up by the political class and in this new era of subtle political threats as portrayed by our sudden love for letter writing in Nigeria especially as seen in the last month, it is my believe that you would be doing yourself and your family for those it applies to, a great deal of injustice if you don't plan for that. So based on the subtle premise above i would like to suggest a few points for you to have in place while you set those goals for 2014:

1. If you carry the ECOWAS passport as your only form of travel ID. ensure you still have ample time before expiration and get valid VISAs to one or two foreign countries of your choice.

2. Have a Stash of funds saved up preferably in hard currency for such a time as may be needed for an emergency exit should the need arise.

3. Stay informed and Keep your plans to yourself...lol

4. Hope and Pray for this Country especially for Only God's counsel to stand concerning the affairs of this country irrespective of what political class may say or do.

5. Stay in constant touch with your family and loved ones.

6. Be smart enough to know that nobody owes you anything irrespective of your relationships with them. In context these politicians will put their pockets and their families before you and yours in exactly that order. Be your own government and be wise enough to look out for your own.

All that said be smart about your activities and decisions this new year. let Gen 1:28 guide you as the benchmark at which God appointed you to operate, if any business endeavors, relationships, or commitments will make you fall short of God's original desire for you to subdue and dominate the earth from your aspects of endeavor then rethink and retrace. Plan well  and have a wonderful 2014.

I had an amazing time on holyholla earlier today with the beautiful Lara George. It's amazing how people can transmit hope without saying much. This woman is unarguably blessed and it was such an honor to have her on our show. Listen to the Podcast of the show below:

Alas Mandiba has left us. For a time in my life I wondered how the world would respond to the death of both Michael Jackson & Mandela. Now we know! 

Never in the history of the world has there ever been a man highly respected practically respected by people across the world even his enemies. 

The only true legend to live long enough to enjoy tributes made to him: from having to spend the SA Rand with his face on it to witnessing various Holywood  tributes. No man comes close to his selflessness. RIP Mandiba.

tHE eXpeRieNcE...

As much as I love the experience of production rooms and concert, I am slightly agoraphobic. The only time I get free of this sickening fear of crowds is if I am responsible for that gathering and I am making a shit load of money from bring that crowd together.

I visited the setup site for the 2013 Experience concert. It's probably as Close as I would be to experiencing the concert. With all that has been spent putting this together this year's edition should be a huge success.
