Marsha Ambrosius


The first time I heard of Marsha Ambrosius was when she was with the Soul/
R&B duo Floetry with Natalie Stewart. A friend had just bought the album we were listening to it and it was good. Floetic was the name of the album it had two top ten singles “Say Yes” and “Getting Late”. Marsha Ambrosius solo career has her collaborating with artist of different genres like Styles P’s “I’m back”, The Game’s “Start from Scratch”, “Why You Hate The
Game” (also featuring Nas), Busta Rhymes’ “Get You Some” and “Cocanina”,Nas “Hustlers” (also featuring The Game), Hi-Tek’s “Music for Life” and Jamie Foxx’s Freak’in Me”. In 2009 Marsha Ambrosius landed herself a placement with R&B and Hip Hop artists Alicia Keys, Jamie Foxx, Mario,
Fabulous, Slum Village and Wale. Also in 2009, a number of record labels approached Marsha Ambrosius offering her a record deal. After she performed at the SOB’s concert companied by The Roots in NYC, she signed
with J Records on December 2009. Her debut solo Late Night & Early Morning was released on March 1, 2011. Marsha’s single “Far Away” is now number eight on Billboard Top 100 single chart. You can also hear it on Streetwise Radio. Marsha Ambrosius is an English born R/B Soul sister who
is climbing the charts. When you first see her, you would not expect that voice would come out of her but it does. I think she is an artist that can sing. I really like her music and her style.

Wyclef Jean Supposedly Shot In Hand

Image via Wikipedia

Wyclef Jean thought he was shot in the hand while he was in Haiti, supporting Michael “Sweet Micky” Martelly for president. Wyclef was in the car with Busta Ryhmes, he got out of the car to make a phone call and shots rang out. Wyclef panicked and thought he was shot in the hand
because he saw blood on his shirt and sneakers. The doctors reported that he was only cut by glass. Wyclef was going to run for president, but he was disqualified, because he lives in the United States. I think it was a
blessing that he was disqualified, because Haiti is so corrupted he probably would have been assassinated before he got into office. Who knows if they were shooting at him or was it meant for someone else is yet to be determined. Thank God it was not serious, because it would have been
ashamed to have loose a talent and humanitarian.

Committed

“Committed” an all-male gospel group from Huntsville, Alabama wins the second season of NBC’s The Sing-Off. They sing acapella with such range and depth it’s hard to believe that there are no instruments in the background. If you missed the second season of The Sing Off you can still see full episodes on-line at NBC’s website.

All of the groups in the show were exceptional this season but “Committed” was outstanding and deserved to win the grand prize: a recording contract and $100,000.

According to the brief history of the group given on the show, “Committed” was founded in 2003 by four high school students at Forest Lake Academy. The group stayed together as they progressed to Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama where they continued to perform together. The members of the group include Geston Pierre, Robbie Pressley, Tommy Gervais, Dennis Baptiste, Maurice Staple and Therry Thomas. Although they sing mainly inspirational gospel music they have such range to do a wide variety music which they demonstrated so well on the show.

From the beginning “Committed” was very consistent in their performances with various members of the group taking the lead vocals; the harmonies and booming bass lines were amazing to hear. You can listen to each night’s performance at the NBC website below. My favorite was their rendition of One Republic’s “Apologize”: http://www.nbc.com/sing-off/contestants/season-2/committed.shtml

So, this is a group to look out for and remember you heard it here first on Streetwise Radio - “Committed” – an outstanding vocal group – the next “Boyz II Men!

Cealey, CFO.

Jennifer Meade is all about the positive. This woman’s got a 
major league voice, the kind A&R guys from Stax, Motown, 
and Atlantic used to go crazy for: silky smooth but with a lot 
of muscle behind it. “I.T.N.O.L” is all about love. Lyrics are Hits, vocal performances are epics, romanticals, sounding like coming out of the soul of the listener. Jennifer Meade will expand one way or another, she has great natural depth, and makes you feel the emotion in each and every word. Stronger, her first single, is a commercially viable musical score, filled with oodes of emotions. Jennifer Meade first encounter with music was through her father’s passion and love of it. At the age of 15 her work as young choir director caught the interest of Second Regard - She started singing in a group called The Harmonettes, then later on became part of another group, Touch of Heaven. "Working with those group opened me up to other branches of international music," says Jennifer. "I met musicians and vocalists from all over the world." Of those musicians, there was Quincy Jones, Freddy James, Michael Bolton, Paul Anka, Celine Dion, Kirk Franklin, Oliver Jones, and Oscar peterson. She shared the stage with renowned artist such as James Hall, Hezekiah Walker, Craig Hayes, Marvin Sapp, Daniel Lavoie, Joane Blouin and Aretha Franklin. She was featured as the music director on CBC Canada evening special with international opera singer Wilaminia Ferdenez. Meade, whose influences include Kirk Franklin and CeCe Winans, recently released Divine Conversations Vol. I and Vol. II, a collection of more than two dozen new original songs that blend R&B, soul, hip hop, funk, gospel, and pop. She’s described them as a series of conversations within. Some might find her music a little preachy, but preachy or not, it’s heartfelt and it’s hard to ignore what she can do to a piece of music.

STREETWISE RADIO CELIBRATES ITS FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!

STREETWISE RADIO IS ONE YEAR OLD

Have you heard the saying “Time Does Not Stands Still For Anybody”. Well it sure doesn’t, I can’t hardly believe a year has past and Streetwise Radio is one year old. When Michael told me he was going to start a radio station, I thought that was cool. When Streetwise Radio started, I knew it was going to take off, because Michael was playing music the other stations weren’t.

Michael being the cool DJ that he is, has set his radio station up in categories Ultra Mix, Jazz Café, Big Splif’s 420 Reggae, Soul City and Big Hop. Streetwise Radio has a listener ship all over the world. It’s nice to sit at work and listen to music, it makes the day more enjoyable. My favorites are the Jazz Café from 12-1pm and Soul City 6-7pm. Streetwise Radio caters to the young and the old. If your not listening to Streetwise Radio go to live365.com type in Streetwise Radio or you can listen on iTunes Radio by clicking on R&B. Well Happy Birthday Streetwise Radio and many more to come.
