What does that # mean? Well yesterday I was checking numbers on the different vids for Afro Boy... The Randy Mason interview had 2508 hits on the launch date Aug. 27th.......after I picked my jaw up off the floor I told Alexie...who did something that sounded like hyperventilating....lolol you know us artists...we get a little mellow dramatic
All of this made me think about how all this got started...including my current involvement. When I located AF back in Aug 29, 2007 I had no idea that he was involved in music. Knew him in the Marble Hill days when we were 12, he was quite the conversationalist even then. So when he asked me to check out The Zro Hour, I wasn't surprised when I heard his interview w/Sandy La Loba & Mexicano 777 down in South Beach.
When the decision was made for changes to be made w/Zro....my husband said on Father's Day 2009 that Alexie F should be doing his own thing that embraces his identity.
Ant & my experience in image building different types of artists go back into 1992. So when Alexie asked me to assist him w/building his image...I was flattered. It made it easy because he was supporter of artists I represented. He had already acquired some of the art work that Anthony & I had produced and respected the craft.......It was a natural merger.
So Afro Boy (find the reference to the name in an archived post) was born. Oct. 29, 2010 will officially be one year of its release. The plan is to celebrate with a big celebration. Afro Boy became a partner w/A.T.B. Fine Artists Designers LLC http://bit.ly/bIaiZ1 July 2010. We designed the updated Muah T-shirt.
Besides working in music & production for Afro Boy, Alexie F. made a decision to also rep art on behalf of A.T.B. in the NYC/NJ area.
A lot has been accomplished for Afro Boy...but you know a lot more is yet to come.
Never knew it would be quite like this...But it has been a great ride so far.
