Be Apart of my next YOUTUBE VIDEO!!!!


So right now only one word comes to mind...HELP!!!! I'm not sure how many of you have bought my album, "Edson Sean" (if you haven't, shame on you, Lol) but on it is a track called "Fall Back" about a relationship gone wrong. Now a musical mentor of mine suggested that I put together a picture collage video to accompany the song and put it on you tube. Great!!! But I am just having a hard time getting candid shots of couples arguing. Not so great. So here is where you, my loyal fans and friends come in. You can be apart of the video making process by sending me ANY photographs that would fit the theme of the video. (It would probably help if you hear the song so if you haven't already, please buy my album. ::on my knees:: Lol) So the type of pictures that I'm looking for are as follows; candid pictures of couples arguing, or facing away from each other in anger; raindrops falling off of leaves (I know, real specific but trust me on this one); shots of rainstorms; anything that reflects heartache. Please feel free to be as artistic as you can. I accept pictures from a $1,000 camera to a cell cam. And your name WILL be acknowledged in the credits if your picture(s) is (are) selected. Please send all pictures, with your name, stage name, etc. to omniblaize@gmail.com A.S.A.P.! Those that submit pictures, even if they are not chosen will receive OMNI Blaize exclusives that NO ONE has! Lets make this a group project! I can't do this with out you guys. Stay tuned till next time, same Blaize time, same Blaize channel. Deuces.

Tick Tock Doc...

Ever wonder why the clocks move differently depending on where you are? When you are court side with your lady, popcorn and a cold corona watching the Knicks take their expected beating, MAN does time fly. Or when you are chilling at home listening to that classic Donnie Hathaway, or for you younger ones, that throwback Jodeci (lol)... DAMN, is the cd done already?

Then there's the job...Somehow God chooses to be a comedian at this moment and slooooow time down just enough for those of us, who are not plugged in, to notice. Somebody HEEELPP! Stay tuned...same Blaize time, same Blaize channel

P.S. Free exclusive joint emailed to the first person who can tell me what movie the title of this blog is from.

I got a 9-5 and a 5-9

So I need to make some substantial business moves because working for folks just isn't on my agenda of things I want to do. Stay tuned. Same Blaize time, same Blaize channel.

Music Industry Mondays...I won!!!


So this Monday my ride-or-die sends me this craigslist ad about an 'industry open mic' that was supposed to have some 'industry personnel' in the house, giving you the opportunity to win a radio interview and a feature at none other than the legendary Sullivan Hall. Now, I hate ambiguity so naturally my initial instinct was to pass on this random ad. After a second, and better, thought I decided to go. So I picked up my ride-or-die, my guitar and my tired voice and headed out to the Village.


Needless to say they had everyone from 'Eminem' to the 'Jonas Brothers' represented out there. FYI The 'Jonas Bros" band, Vasudevanj, was crazy dope and out of...you guessed it...BK All Daaaayy!!!! You can find them on myspace http://www.myspace.com/vasudevanj. For the majority of the night my ears were honestly offended but, its all love. It takes courage to even get up there and share your 'art' with the world so, by all means. So with a jaded spirit after the auditory assault I received, I went up and performed "Survival" and "Beauty" off of my album "Edson Sean" available at reverbnation. After hours of waiting to hear the result, I was told I would find out the winner...VIA FACEBOOK!!!! Smh. Long story short...I WON!!! So any up and coming artist/musician that would like to get a chance to perform at the legendary Sullivan Hall, head out to this open mic every Monday.


So stay tuned to find out when my featured performance is. The where will be at Sullivan Hall. I'm signing off...same Blaize time same Blaize channel.

Edson Sean

What's up folks? Its your friendly neighborhood crooner/MC back at it again. I just released my sophmore project entitled, "Edson Sean" on October 10, 2010. I had a CD release/Book signing party with my partner in crime, Jamica, at B-Hive in Brooklyn. FYI, B-Hive, located at 990 Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn,..very sexy spot. You must check it out. So, the release/signing was a complete success and I would be remiss not to thank each and every person that came to show Jamica and I love that night. My boys, 2 Shades Darker, held me DOWN!!! They sounded even better than the record! My mom and sister Candace held me down as the cashiers for the night. And then there was the talent!!!! Yo!!! Denny Jackson (@DennyJackson) opened the show up and set the tone for the night with killer gospel chops. Then we had Kashan bless the mic as "The Naked Man" (don't ask, Lol), engaging the crowd with his smooth vocals and spoken word piece. Now MY favorite part of the night was when Infinite and Narubi took the spotlight. I have only ONE word to describe these women as writers...BEASTS!! Absolute beasts. If I wasn't taken, Narubi would be mine! I am a straight up Narubi groupie. Lol. Then there was G&J and 2 Shades Darker. And...I think we killed! Besides the fact that I couldn't really get through my dad's song. Oh well. ::sigh:: Man...it was just an explosive night of energy! So stay tuned, same Blaize time, same Blaize channel. Oh! And if you don't already have "Edson Sean" by yours truly, please feel free to go to www.reverbnation.com/omniblaize and click the "visit store" tab to download your digital copy. An added bonus for those of you who want physical cds!! For just $10 you get my cd AND Jamica's book called "The Beginning", a collection of dope poetry. Please and thank you. Peace
