  • Saycon Celebrating Opus PS 118 @Saks!





    Congrats to the students at Opus 118! And also to Steve and Ruth Hendel, executive producers of Fela! who were among the celebrated for the evening! While Steve was away with the Opening of Fela in Amsterdam, Ruth was there to accept the award and we grabbed a pic together! Kimberley Richardson hosted the evening and I must say the event was chalk full of New Yorks best and brightest! The other honorees were George C. Wolf, and the late Barbara Ann Tear, whose daughter accepted on her behalf. People came out to support even on this rainy, rainy evening! I was happy to be there surrounded by the gorgeous shoes in the shoe parlor at Saks, not to mention being serenaded by the wonderful kids from the program! Highlight of the evening was meeting the subject of “Umi Says”, Mos Def’s mom! she was lovely and kind! A special thanks to my friend Dejuan Wilson who invited me to this fabulous event!

  • Macdella Cooper Foundation Luncheon


    There’s no time like the present to make plans and I’ve been making big ones. One of the most exciting ventures I see coming forward will be more work with the Macdella Cooper foundation. I met Macdella Cooper a few months ago and performed in her La’Africana program a fundraiser for her school located in Liberia, West Africa. And god willing there will be more. Thanks to some really great artists who are lending their time, skill, and patience I will soon be presenting new songs, new music videos, and more live performances in the weeks and months to come. On a day that included meetings with all of them I started off at a small luncheon that featured some amzing people who intend to make change, each in his/her own way in Africa.

  • Saycon and Motown Reading #1!


    As the summer approaches I’m excited to prepare for a return to Motown with a show that’s in works about the life of Berry Gordy and Motown. I had the opportunity to participate a few months ago and met some great people. Our next reading is fast approaching!
    I enjoyed some great talents at a celebration and fundraiser organized by
    Rebecca Covington. I met her durng the “Motown” reading and let me tell you
    she’s a hardworking talent with a big heart! She recenty lost her brother, Daniel Covington, former Louisville Cardinal to
    violence in Kentucky. At the show were many performers includng Eric Lajuan
    Summers, Krystal Brown, Chester Gregory, and many more along with special guest
    Eric Roberson who sang a song from his album and created a song based on words
    suggested by the audience! It was a beautiful night for a beautiful cause! God bless Rebecca and her family!

  • Celebrating Darien Hicks! We miss you!



    I had the honor of performing for the posthumous birthday celebration of Darien Hicks a wonderful friend, brother, son, and performer who past away last year. He would have been 30 years old and we miss him! Charles Browning was the executive producer of the event and it was a class act! Hosted by the comedienne Gena Pemberton featuring musical performances by Marc Villa, Charles Browning, and dance by Danny Soto. Darien’s family were in attendance and Charles also had a lovely brunch with them the next morning. I sang songs from Southern Pin-Up (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/southern-pin-up-special-edition/id302475798) and also covered some of Darien’s favorite Janet Jackson songs.
