Sorry folks, I’ve been slackin’ on my blog game…BIG TIME! It’s been kinda hectic lately, being that it’s year end. The holidays are a given, but things need to be organized and ready to jump into the new year. It’s been a long year, yet a very quick one…and a great one to say the least. Considering all the obstacles we’ve encountered and overcame, in addition to the few changes of direction that we made along the way, I say we’ve done quite well, independently. Two thousand nine is looking very bright for Sanz Pareil.
Here’s a little recap of what’s been going on and what’s to come…
1. The E-40 Wake It Up Tour will continue in January. Booking shows in December proved to be a bit difficult due to the holidays. Not only are people traveling and out of town, but college students are busy studying for finals, so it’s especially been hard with campus shows. Shout outs to Chuck and Jimson over at Street Cred Music.
2. Something I’ve been talking about since SPRING, is FINALLY in its FINAL stages…the Sanz Pareil lookbook! I mean, we only started working on it a few weeks ago, but we’ve set it aside time after time. At some points, we were forced to, but ultimately we’ve been gauging the right moment for the jump off…
3. …which brings me to my next point. We’ll finally be hitting stores in the new year! Quite a few stores have already inquired about it this past year, but we held back for our own important reasons, so I hope everyone understands and your patience is greatly appreciated.
4. SPTV coming soon…that’s right…
5. Optimus’ music video for “On The Grind” will be released very soon! It was shot back in May and believe me, I’ve been dying to see it, too. Refer back to my post on May 19, if you don’t remember. According to CL, CEO of Sessions Entertainment, they’ve also been guaging for that right moment to dish the goods, ya feel me? Word is, they’ve got a nice joint venture on the table with a major record label (they’ve already turned away deals in the past from labels like Warner Bros).
6. Finally, I’d like to introduce Sessions Entertainment’s newly signed R&B sensation, AISHA. She might look familiar (if you, again, refer back to the May 19 post about Opto’s mv shoot). She has no released material just yet, but they’ve got big plans for her, so keep your ear to the street and be on the look out. She is young, beatiful, Latin, AND bi-lingual. I gladly accepted the invitation to her photo shoot last week. Here she is…
Happy Holidays!
Peace, “BK”
