To watch the performance visit Ruby LIVE on Open!
Prior to this show, my friend told me, what are you waiting for to get your own band? JUST DO IT. His words spoke life into me, and I could feel the negativity in my push back... I heard myself saying, "But... I don't have a budget for a band... But, I don't know any musicians in NY.. BUT, BUT, BUT..." and I stepped outside of myself and replayed all the things I said. My friends statement, "JUST DO IT..." was so much louder and powerful. So, I prayed about it and let the universe align things up. A week after I performed on Rhina Live, a gentlemen by the name of Mike Fisher contacted me on facebook. He asked if I was looking for a band and sent me a link to recent work. I explained to him my vision and all the finer details and he suggested I send him my single so he can vibe with it. TWO DAYS LATER... This guy puts together the dopest arrangement to a four piece band.
So we met up at a coffee shop in the city, and as I make my purchase, I see a picture of a CD and on the cover it says, "The Band" and "Cloud Nine"... I'm all about signs and foreshadowing, Lol.... We began talking and sharing our goals. Figuring out how we can benefit/support one another in getting these accomplished. And afterwards headed over to Ultra Sound Studios.
I had no idea what I was about to step into, the fiery Aries in me was ALL ready for the leap of faith. With social media nowadays, people say they are a bunch of things and when you finally meet them, their statuses don't match up... lol, but Mike Fisher was the REAL DEAL, very professional and eager to work. He mentioned wanting to be a music director like Omar Edwards who puts together live arrangements for artist like Rihanna. Man, when they started playing, I felt like I was at a Janet Jackson concert. I caught chills, the hairs in the back of my neck stood up and I got emotional. In my mind I said, "ISH* just got REAL!!" This was "The Band" and I was definitely on "Cloud Nine." If you don't believe me, check the band out in the link below, playing their rendition of "Runway" live for the VERY FIRST TIME.
