Newark's Birthday Tribute to Michael Jackson

8/26/12 I was so happy to be a part of a Michael Jackson birthday tribute event right here in my hometown of Newark, NJ. It featured many talented performers, singers and dancers. There was even a DJ and also a live band performing. It was held in Washington Park. Many of Michael Jackson's hits were played and also many album tracks people haven't heard unless you are a fan with every album. People of all ages enjoyed themselves and danced until they couldn't dance no more. I've been working hard to keep Michael's legacy alive here in Newark and I am glad this event was a success. Many of my friends from New York City including Force MD's member Jessie Daniels stopped through. I performed to an original piece by Eric Harris AKA Extra Rich In Class as he sang.

Cranford Street Fair- August

8/26/12 I was so happy to make my second appearance and perform in Cranford at their street fair and car show. Here are some photos:

Rest In Peace to my Dear Uncle Edgar

It feels so awkward typing this blog post. I haven't typed an "RIP" post for a relative so close to me. I still find it hard to believe that you are gone. I still can't bare the fact that I will never share another holiday or special occasion with you. I have realized now that you will be here in spiritual form but it will be hard very not seeing your smiling face. I love you and I will miss you. I do know that we will see each other again. You are now with my daddy, grandma, grandpa, auntie and all of our family who have traveled to Heaven.

Here are just a few of the times we shared together.

Whitney Houston, Celebration of Life Concert

Sunday August 12, 2012, at Washington Park in Newark, NJ hosted a tribute concert for the late legend Whitney Houston. The program included young talented singers performing some of Whitney Houston's hit songs. The event was also a community cookout as well. I even tried to dress like Whitney in her earlier days in the 1980s. It was a beautiful event and I definitely enjoyed myself.

Candlelight Vigil for Michael Jackson 2012

6/25/12 Sometimes I still find it hard to believe Michael Jackson is gone, especially since it has been three years already. It is all a blur how fast time has went by but the painful memory follows me like it happened yesterday. Being that my heart aches thinking about him leaving us, I still know that I have a strong MJ family that sticks together. Like last June 25th, the group, Michael Jackson Fans of New York City, hosted their annual candlelight vigil at the Apollo Theater. The candles were arranged around Michael's ground placard outside the legendary Apollo Theater, where it all began for Michael Jackson and his brothers as the Jackson 5. There were fans from all over. We sang and danced to his music. Many people, like myself, dressed like Michael. My friends Shauna and Lamar joined me on this adventure.
