Exec. Producer's Notes: Anjali reached out to me to perform on DPVN Live. I went to the link that she provided and Loved the sounds that I was listening too. She got the green light because I hears a depth and wisdom in her arrangements. I find her to be mystical in her trance of musical vibration.

Exec. Producer's Notes: This brother right here... I have seen Ngoma many times. It was that first time that I went to see him perform that I was taken by his craft. Play various instruments. I never got to know him outside of his work. Maybe because what he does left me speechless.

Exec. Producer's Notes: Honestly, I did not expect a soft voice to come over the phone when I met. This Ohio DJ has deep insight. We vibe on life, music, and food. She has her own style and blend. Her love of music plus talent delivers over the digital turn tables. As a house head and a lover of musical mixes, I invite you to move with me on this Black Friday.

Exec. Producer's Notes: Zhe Scott is a tech woman so no surprise she plays an electric violin. It may not be in the picture but trust me. She has come through some things and she has written a book about it. I too think her heart shows up in the stroking of the strings. Zhe brings herself through as well as her faith. I admire her work and her ethics.

Exec. Producer's Notes: There are people that you meet and say I wish I lived next door. Daryl has that vibe. I tend to meet great people through great people.

Chris Slaughter comes with new work in a new year and he's bringing it to our DPVN stage.

Exe. Producer's Notes: When I lived in Brooklyn there was spot that I would go to hear Chris Slaughter. I hung on every word and it was his delivery that kept me wanting more of his truth.  He speaks with the point of the words being spoken. You can not hear him you must obey and listen. Your mind will demand it. I am looking forward to his new works.
