Support The Royal Krunk Jazz Orkestra’s New Recording

Picture
PHOTO CREDIT:  LIBRO MUSICA
Greetings All, We are The Royal Krunk Jazz Orkestra. We are getting set to record the follow up, or “prequel” to last years recording “Pyramids” This new recording is entitled “The Sirius Mystery” and takes place many thousands of years before “Pyramids”. It is part 1 of our trilogy that will end in 2021 with the sequel to “Pyramids”. The Royal Krunk Jazz Orkestra is wholly original from concept to execution. Our music is the living embodiment of “Ancient Future” We strive to educate, illuminate, and entertain at the highest possible levels. As you know, financing a large ensemble is very expensive. As the leader of our group this responsibility falls to me. Trust me, It’s not easy asking for help, but in today’s music business we are left with very few favorable alternatives. We hope you will contribute to our campaign. Thank You.

The Best Thing A Woman Can Be Is A Singer!

The Best Thing A Woman Can Be Is A Singer

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.  

If you are a true "SPEAKER" that follows When We Speak TV, you will know that Julie Dexter was the first live music concert I attended when I moved to Atlanta in 2008.  Back then, I wasn't really familiar with the Atlanta music scene, nor any of the indie artists in the city but I was invited by my business partner, Chet, so I went......and to make a long story short, I have been a Julie Dexter fan ever since.  

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 Speak TV!  You may remember that a few years back, I sat down and spoke with her at the release of her album, New Again.  

Since then, she and I have definitely seen one another on several occasions at musical events like the Atlanta Jazz Festival....and of course this year, she performed at the Jazz In The Alley Concert Series, which When We Speak TV is an official partner!

New Again by Julie Dexter
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? 
Definitely take a moment to watch it ......then you will see exactly why I titled this post, The Best Thing A Woman Can Be Is A Singer and you will also find out who spoke these life changing words to Julie.  I hope you enjoy it!  

If you haven't done so, please take a moment to subscribe to the new When We Speak TV YouTube page, we would greatly appreciate your support!
