Gifted Elite Interviews Kwasi
Posted by Steve-O | Filed under Press, Style & Fashion
Kwasi: style is multifaceted. I have to be able to go from putting on a suit for a meeting with a Marketing Executive at a label to urban attire while hanging in Harlem with the homies. I can also say my style is transitional. I can go from “The Corner” to “Corner Office”. My style was inherited from my Great Grand Uncles. My mother would tell me they were “Sharp from head to toe.” That always stuck with me when getting dressed. I was the only kindergarten wearing 3 piece suits to school.

It’s My Heart, Cookie
Posted by Saint | Filed under Events, Music, Press
A few weeks ago our beloved Jade performed in downtown’s nightlife mecca, Santos Partyhouse for Q-Tip, Rich Medina, & Vashtie’s Friday night weekly, OPEN. This is where the thugs comingle with the hipsters, the execs with the tastemakers, and so forth. It’s a real micro assesment of where New York is currently at. Anyhow, as the performance transpired, Jade would work her magic over the entire room as she captured everyone’s heart. She isn’t misleading when she says, “It’s my heart, cookie.” Jade’s music endearingly inherits your soul, as you slowly begin to realize you’re heart is now hers…
But you don’t have to take my word for it. Visit Trace212 to read “A Jade of All Trades” for their review of Jade’s Santos performance. Maybe then you’ll believe in magic.
To hear more music from Jade, click “It’s My Heart, Cookie” to download her free EP. Also be sure to check her PERFORMING LIVE at SOBs on Tuesday July 14th.
