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

Meet Me @ The Crossroads

So I'm sure that there comes a time in everyone's life (I hope I'm not the only one) where you've finished school, you've gotten that job, you get to a certain point and then...nothing. The traffic light gets stuck on red, the universe has pressed the pause button on your video game called "Life" and it seems as though no progress is being made. This is currently my place of residence and I NEED to get out of my lease...ASAP. Funny enough, it's when I get to this point in life that my most pivotal breakthroughs occur. The last time I felt like this, I was sent to West Africa for a month, doing what I absolutely love. Need I say more? So...since limbo WILL NOT be seeing me for too long, I need y'all to get your glasses ready (I'll bring the bubbly...cheapskates, Lol) to toast to this new phase in my life, whatever that may be. Signing off...Tune in next time, same Blaize blog, same Blaize channel. Peace

I'm Back...Hehehehehe

What up folks? It's your boy OMNI Blaize aka Edson Sean. Its been a minute and A LOT has changed in my life. Some of which I have allowed to knock me down for a bit. Hey...it happens. The most pivotal of those events was the passing of my dad, Ronald Gerald Edson Trotman, on October 25th. Can you say complete blind side? All in all what I've learned from this (and always knew in the back of my mind) is that life is way too short to be wasted just existing. Live!! Play in the snow (cause u know its coming), play hookie from work. Find a freaking hobby! LIVE!! Signing off for now...I'm out. Peace
