Before you read the title and start jumping to conclusions, that is not my opinion nor statement. However, these were some very powerful words that were spoken to our friend, singer, Julie Dexter, that changed her life forever.
I always make the reference that Julie Dexter is my Beyonce. What I mean by that is, although I would love to meet Beyonce, I get just as anxious when I see Julie Dexter, as I would if I saw Beyonce! I really admire Julie because not only is she a great vocalist but she is also a supporter of When We SpeakTV! You may remember that a few years back, I sat down and spoke with her at the release of her album, New Again.
I think it goes without saying that Julie Dexter is one of our favorite people, that's why I am so excited to have the opportunity to speak with Julie Dexter for a segment of What Do YOU Speak?

ABOUT JERMAINE SAIN
Jermaine Sainis the host/ creator of a talk show called When We Speak. After exiting the U.S. Army in 2003, as a Medical Sergeant, Jermaine began pursuing a career in music after he auditioned for American Idol in 2005, in Austin, Texas.
Some of you really faithful When We Speak TV supporters may remember that our very first interview was with Leaf Newman, formerly of BET singing competition, Welcome To Dreamland. Do you remember that show? Basically, the show paired up singers into two teams and each team had a music producer (Drumma Boy and Jazze Pha). From there the best girl on each team would compete to become the Queen of Dreamland.....
....Leaf was on Drumma Boy's team and won the competition in the end.
FAST FORWARD
After much anticipation, Leaf has finally released her Flowers and Grass independently and When We Speak TV was in the building for the album release, held in a beautiful loft in Atlanta. The event was so nice and the Leaf's fashion totally represented the Leaf Newman that we know and love.
A wonderfully eclectic blend of jazz, rock, pop and r&b floating on honey vocals and life healing lyrics. With contributions from Andrew DeBarge (El DeBarge’s Nephew), Ryan Waters (Sade’s lead guitarist) and versatile producer Jabari Thomas Taylor, “Flowers and Grass,” is MUSIC YOU CAN BREATHE
Here's just a snippet of Leaf's song, My Fault, off the album. Be sure to purchase online at:
