Sonya McGuire is a preachers' daughter who learned to sing, act, and appreciate music at a very early age. With music playing such a dominant role in the home, Sonya felt there was no other path for her than to follow the unofficial “family business.” Initially, Sonya chose drums to express her musical creativity and talent. Later she developed a love for singing and directing, and she quickly became the obvious choice for musical director at her father’s church.  Her music and direction was inspiring and dynamic. If describing Sonya McGuire in one word, it would be anointed.
 
Sonya is truly a multi-gifted individual. She is a gospel singer, recording artist, songwriter, musician, and was a Radio Personality for Freedom Radio. Sonya truly has ministry at the heart of all she does. Sonya's unique ministry and sty le of praise & worship, has electrified audiences, offering them an original and blessed praise and worship experience. With vocal ability that is comparable to none and marveled by many, Sonya incorporates thought provoking lyrics with unmistakable jazz overtones into her music. Her organic songwriting abilities blend soul, traditional gospel, jazz, funk, and praise & worship. 
 
Her gift has made room for her to share the stage with artists such as John P. Kee, Mariah Carey, Kirk Franklin, Tye Tribett, Donnie McClurkin, Dorinda Clark-Cole, Fred Hammond, Kim Burrell, Marvin Sapp, Natalie Wilson and S.O.P., Israel Houghton, Karen Clark –Sheard, Rizen, Youthful Praise, Mary Mary, the Georgia Mass Choir and many more. A notable collaboration with Corey “Coco Brother” Condrey’s Stand Project introduced one of her most popular singles “Should’ve Thought About It” to audiences across all 50 states. Sonya has also graced the stages of TBN's Praise the Lord, Bobby Jones Gospel Show, First Coast Living and TCT's TV - I'm Just Saying and Celebrate Live from Detroit. 
 
Sonya's passion for music and self-mission to win souls for Christ is at the heart of her ministry and transcends racial, cultural, and even language barriers. In 2005, Sonya's music ministry spread internationally as she was commissioned to deliver several concerts during a twenty-one day European tour. The presence of God was so prevalent during her performances that they became much more than just a concert, they evolved into worship & unbelievable praise experiences. She has also ministered in 18 cities in Asia, from Japan to Malaysia with plans to expand wider. As a result, Sonya has toured annually & has released a European Christmas DVD of her ministry overseas. 
 
Sonya shares her gift, conducting choir workshops, conferences, and music seminars throughout the United States. Sonya has received numerous awards and nominations including Best New Female Artist at the 2008 YGEA Awards, Best New Artist at the 2008 Gospel Choice Awards and 2009 Stellar Awards, Best Female Singer for the 2010, 2011, and 2012 Gospel Choice Awards, Best Urban Contemporary Solo Artist and Best Rhythm & Praise Solo Artist for the 2013-2014 Prayze Factor People Choice Awards. With all her accomplishments, she is yet a faithful servant in her community.
 
Sonya is the founder of four community organizations including: Sing for a Cure, which assist those who are battling cancer or have lost loves one’s to cancer, Psalms of Thanks, which serves as a vehicle that provides food, and clothes to those individuals that are less fortunate, Project Think, an adolescent and teen empowerment movement, and Blessed to be a Blessing, serving the community, meeting their needs and empowering families. Sonya has experienced monumental success of her chart topping first Project "My Journey", and is currently working on her sophomore album "We Praise You" to be released this year.

Kodagain-again formed in 1985 in Knjazevac, SE Serbia, where it’s hard to be alternative but easy to be alone. 
 
Kodagain writes and records songs with English lyrics because English is more musical than Serbian.
 
Many of the lyrics have been provided by the existing poetry of famous poets such as Dorothy Parker, Oscar Wilde, Chu-I Po (Bai Juyi), Lord Byron, Ogden Nash, Sara Teasdale, Louisa Stuart Costello and Robert Creely.
 
Since 2007, however, Kodagain has also been using translated poetry (e.g. Kaneko Misuzu) and original lyrics from the writer Quentin S. Crisp; since 2012, Kodagain has similarly collaborated with the writer Brendan Connell. They have also used the poetry and lyrics of other writers, including Loha Connell, Alberto Nessi, James Aronhióta’s Stevens and Justin Isis.  
  
Kodagain has a miniaturist approach to pop music, channelling influences from Henry Purcell, through Dean Martin, to Roxy Music, into short compositions combining a bubblegum-pop concern for melody with lo-fi experimentalism, resulting in songs as soulful as they are playful.
  
Not unlike the old Reggae studios in Jamaica in the 70’s and 80’s, Kodagain produces songs in enormous quantity – the musical equivalent of a cottage industry, where craft and feeling remain intact.
 
At the core of Kodagain's creativity are the songwriting skills, sinuous melodies and haunting, layered vocals of Saša Zorić Čombe, who also plays keyboards, bass, drum and guitar. 
 
Many musicians have been associated with Kodagain:
 
Dunat Dobrica 1984 – present (occasional) on bass and synths.
Aneta Zorić (née Milosavljević) keyboards, 1984-1987.
Janković Goran on drums, 1987 – 1993. 
Bojan Ristić on drum programmes.
 
Between 2005 – 2007 the line-up was as follows, for the album Commercial:  Slaviša Jelenković on drums, Ivan Todorović on electric guitar, Vladislav Dopuđa on bass and Joksimović Miljan on keyboards.
 
However, the core musicians, from 1987 – present, are:
 
Vladimir Ristić on guitar.
Vladislav Dopuđa on bass and keyboards.
Saša Zorić Čombe. 
 
Recently, there have also been musical collaborations with Alexandar Manojlović and Aldous Register. 
  
Kodagain's music has been played regularly on Gistro FM and The Power of the Witches on Radio B92, and on Pop Depression on Studio B. Their songs and videos can be found in generous supply on YouTube and SoundCloud. Albums include: Speed Up, The Nowhere Land's Echoes, A Drink With Something In It, 000, Vranje, Letters From Quentin, Time to Get Ready for Love, My Fear of His Fear of Death, and Supernatural.

A word or two from the lyricists:

Quentin S. Crisp says: “My pop music hero, from a young age, was David Bowie, but I’m afraid that his avowed adoption of the Burroughs cut-up technique has bequeathed to pop music an unfortunate legacy, whereby lyricists now equate being incoherent with being especially meaningful and groundbreaking. I remember reading a pop journalist lamenting that the trouble with poetic pop lyricists is that have all read the same handful of poems by Rimbaud, and don’t bother reading the more disciplined and understated verses by the likes of Larkin. I thought this was very true. I hope to write lyrics that are actually about something – to me, this seems the innovation of which pop is in need.”

Brendan Connell says: “My ultimate goal is to write a vast number of lyrics about natural wonders, public parks, lost watches, Indian villages, hidden love, birds, trees, mountain passes, fake Taoists, imperceptible colors, rhetorical mysteries, and flowers. Ideally these would be compounded into a ‘Guide for Modern Life’ which could be used to build better relations between workers and their bosses, the various sexes, and those whose religious beliefs differ.”

Growing up in a lower class family isn’t the easiest thing to do for anybody. Now add to the fact a mother who was only 14 when she gave birth and a dad who ran out before he even saw his sons face. Picture that mother trying her best to raise her son while going to school, not to mention raising a milatto child in a place such as Cheboygan where the racial make up of the city is over 90% white. Now if I told you a young man would come out of that and become successful at writing, recording and performing Hip-Hop music, what would your reaction be? I’d doubt it to. At first glance, Tim Parrott, Better known by his stage name Falah seems like the average MC with hopes of being “the next big thing.” However, what the eye doesn’t see is EVERYTHING that his music will tell you. 
The 20-year-old rhyme slinger from Cheboygan, MI began writing rhymes at the influential age of 14 under the name “Merchandice.” His early rhymes were a far cry from anything that he had ever experienced in his life. Such as drugs, guns and gangs, but with artists like 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg and Eminem as his earliest influences it’s easy to see where the young rapper got those ideas. By the end of the 8th grade school year, through cyphers and rapping for friends, his peers began to take notice of the MC’s talents.
Over the summer and into his early high school career, Falah along with a couple fellow local artists recorded many songs together, burning most of them on CD’s for the rest of the school to hear. The results were astounding and by the end of his Junior year, people started to take Falah as a serious threat. In an attempt to further his career and take the next step, Falah signed up for the school talent his senior year and performed Drakes “Show Me A Good Time.” The questions soon started to be asked, “Why doesn’t Falah have his own mixtape.” The day after his high school graduation, the question was answered with “Carpe Diem” Falah’s very first offering as a solo artist. To no surprise, fans were pleasantly impressed with the 7 song EP. 
Roughly 3 months after the release Falah took it upon himself to reach out to independent labels in hopes of bigger, better opportunity such as shows and stronger promotion, he didn’t have to look far. A phone call was made to Nate Ritch A.K.A Halusin8 who has been running his label, Ill Vision Records since 2006. The 2 set up a meeting and a couple weeks later, Falah had his first official show booked at Papa Lou’s in Petoskey, MI. 
Fast forward about a year and Falah is officially the newest member of the Ill Vision family. Since signing he has released his sophomore mixtape and second installment in the Carpe Diem series entitled “Carpe Diem 2” as well as guest verses for label mates Shai and Halusin8. Currently he is hard at work writing and recording new material for his yet to be titled 3rd mixtape. It’s safe to say the Carpe Diem MC is doing exactly as his mantra suggests, Seizing the day. 
What does Carpe Diem mean to you? No need to grab the dictionary, English translation says it means “Seize The Day” but how do YOU define it? To rapper Falah, it simply means making the most out of every 24 hours we are granted on this earth, regardless of your walk of life. Whether your rich, poor, young, old, brain surgeon, flippin’ burgers or flippin’ rhymes we All have the same amount of time in each day, it’s what we do with it that matters.

NPR: A Hollywood Writer's Second Act: Gongs

by Guy Raz and Brent Baughman March 04, 2012 2:13 PM

There's a Mystery Machine sitting outside Andrew Borakove's nondescript warehouse on a quiet street in Lincoln, Neb.

"I can never be depressed driving around town, because there's always some 4-year-old waving to me manically," Borakove says.

The mystery about the Scooby Doo replica van starts to fade, however, once you notice the bumper stickers on the back. Black background, white font, like a "Got Milk?" ad: "Happiness Is a Warm Gong." "Gongs, Not Bongs." "My Child Is an Honor Gong Player."

The van doesn't just amplify Borakove's personality — which probably doesn't need much help — it's the cargo van for his Internet business, . He bought the van off eBay five years ago to move his business and his family from California to Nebraska.

That journey is a story of American optimism and reinvention in an economy that increasingly demands mid-life career shifts. It's a story Borakove hopes will, ahem, resonate.

Life In 'Development Hell'

For 20 years, Borakove, a native of New York, worked long hours in the pressure cooker of L.A. TV-writing. He'd moved there in 1986 and found success writing for shows like South Park and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

But after several years working to create shows that never made it on television — languishing in "development hell" he calls it — the jobs began to dry up. What work did come along paid less and less.

"I was kind of like, 'I don't know what we're going to do,'" he says.

It was 2005. Borakove had a second child on the way. He imagined a future where he could support his family selling things online, but he had no idea what to sell. He was not a percussionist or musician.

Ever the comedy fan, Borakove compares his plight to the Jim Carrey film Bruce Almighty. In one scene, Carrey's character, desperate and confused, throws himself in front of a moving truck.

"One day, I was like, 'God, I don't know what the heck I'm going to do. I'm literally on my hands and knees' — in the same position that Jim Carrey was," he says.

"And then, like a day or so after that, I was meditating, and this image of a gong appeared in front of me." He pauses. "I mean, not to get too mystical — that's why I was mixing it with the comedy there."

Nebraska Bound

But Borakove was serious about the gong business. He did some research and found that people were searching for gongs online, but there weren't many places to buy them. It's not like you could walk into Target and buy a gong, he says.

So he moved his family from Los Angeles to San Diego and set up shop. Immediately, his new business began to grow. Soon, Borakove was working 10 hours a day, running his website from a Starbucks and spending $800 a month on storage units for his gong supply.

"I'm going, 'I'm not getting a chance to surf. I'm barely getting out in the sun. And my kids are getting bigger,'" he says. "And then, all of a sudden, I started having odd dreams to get out of California."

College town in the Midwest, he thought. "That was my gut feeling."

Madison, Wis.? Too cold. Lawrence, Kan.? "Meh. No," he says. His wife had lived near Omaha, Neb., so they settled on Lincoln, a smaller town about an hour away.

"The surfers in San Diego were, like, 'Where is that?'" he says. "They were scratching their heads a little bit."

'That's Heavy Metal'

The day Borakove moved to Nebraska was the first time he'd set foot in the state. "My wife had gone and bought the house," he says. "I had never been here before."

He — and the Mystery Machine — quickly settled in.
This set of desktop gongs honors prominent Chinese Americans. Small gongs are popular, Borakove says, for workplaces and corporate events.

"People got used to me," he says. He made friends with a local barista who became his connection to the "Lincoln hipster community." The 20somethings were drawn to the store, hanging out and even helping with the shop.

These days, the store has never been busier. Business is growing, and it's not just yoga studios lining up.

"Everyone buys my gongs," he says. "[New Jersey Gov.] Chris Christie's brother. Someone bought a gong to give to [director] James Cameron. I sold one to a death rocker, who was like, 'I NEED IT TO BE VERY DARK.' I've sold a gong that went to a prison. It was a minimum security prison in Minnesota. They put on a talent show. They needed the gong."

He ships gongs all around the world. Kuala Lumpur. Dubai. Why wouldn't those customers just buy gongs made in Asia?

"Because they want the BMW of gongs," Borakove says, made by a Swiss company called Paiste. "But I've shipped Chinese gongs back to Hong Kong several times. And I love it."

Small gongs are popular for workplaces and corporate events, big gongs for symphonies and musical acts. He sells gong stands, too, including ones made by the "almost-father-in-law" of Lady Gaga (In her hit single, "You And I," Gaga sings about a long-lost lover from Nebraska. The namesake man's father has been building gongs and stands for Borakove for several years. "I call him Papa Gaga," he says.)

"Is it ever going to make me rich?" Borakove asks. "No. But I sold $450,000 worth of gongs last year. That's heavy metal."

And it's a story that may inspire other midlife career-changers. "Be entrepreneurial. Be creative," Borakove says. "You gotta find that side in you. And c'mon. We're selling gongs. We're having a good time. There's gotta be some goofiness to it all."

Artist, Revolutionary, & Gangster! T-Dubb-O is a hip-hop artist born in Saint Louis, MO. He is as dedicated to the streets as he is to his art of music. He began freestyling at the age of 6 and progressed to writing, producing and recording by the age of 11.

In 2010 T-Dubb entered the Streets Status Battle League arena and was quickly recognized as one of the best rappers coming out of Missouri. Dubb made a name for himself internationally on the battle-rap scene. From there, he released a couple mixtapes that destroyed the stereotype that battle MC’s could not make good music and became cult classics on the underground scene. In 2011, the release of Mobstar Maniac 1 came to fame, following Mobstar Maniac 2 in 2012. T-Dubb-O has enjoyed a rapid ascent in the music world and had gained a lot more attention after realeasing his third mixtape Mobstar Maniac 3, in 2014 which saw over 80,000 downloads with no radio play. It featured the catchy single “U Mad.” On a steady stream of progressive releases 2014 saw 3.6 and Bruce Vs Bane. January 15th, 2016 Dubb released his debut album entitled "The Drop" and is nothing short of classic. The album garnered international support even being featured on BET france. 

Dubb has collaborated with legends like Freeway, Crooked I, Project Pat, Pastor Troy, & Young Noble from 2 pac’s group The Outlawz. Dubb has been featured on 106 & Park, Rollingstone, Revolt TV, etc. He has also been featured in some of Urban America’s top publications such as The Source and Ebony Magazine. 

What separates Dubb from all of the rappers of today’s time is not just his aggressive and extraordinary flow, but the work he does in the community. T-Dubb-O is not just the average rapper talking about his trials and tribulations of his past street life. Dubb and his grass roots organization, Hands Up United, have been labeled America’s New Black Radicals. So whether he is reading to children at their monthly Books and Breakfast program, talking with the students at their Tech Impact program where they are teaching Black kids how to build websites, dropping off food to people in need, or throwing back tear gas at police Dubb truly stands with the community that he raps about. The work he does in black and poor communities have taken him all around the world to educated people on the harsh realities of Black people in America. Dubb was even granted the opportunity to sit with President Obama in the Oval Office to discuss racial issues and systemic problems here in America. This meeting coined his phrase on his album The Drop, “I shook Obama hand with the same hand I sold crack with”. T-Dubb-O is a lyrical and political embodiment of hard work and perseverance and his music reflects that gritty street influence combined with an increasingly mature world view.
