Hi Everyone,
Today, I officially begin my vacation. I just finished two of the best weeks of the summer spending time with some incredible young 16-17 year old kids from my What Makes A Star? Program at NYU. The program is for students who have expressed an interest in being in the music business in the future. I can say, without a doubt, the future of the music business is looking real bright.
I decided that I wanted to get back into writing in my blog. Haven’t done so in awhile but its something that I want to do for myself. Its therapeutic and I come upon such interesting things and people. The one person I would share all of these things with was my mom. No matter what she would listen and we would just laugh about things on a daily basis. I miss that more than anything. She really was my best friend and confidante.
Back to more happy things! The last two weeks were so incredibly busy. Went to Apollo Amateur Night, did a backstage tour of the Barclays Center and went to the Harry Fox Agency two times each. Went to dinner with the kids and both groups completed incredible projects for the following artist’s- Kori Kay- http://www.korikayharris.com , Andrew Smith- http://www..Andrew Smithofficial.com and Fancy Reagan, http://www.fancyreagan.com
.
Tori Kay
Andrew Smith

Met and hung out with some incredible people as well including JoJo Brim, Sr. VP of A&R at Epic Records, Joey Fleming, a former student of mine and two students presently in the program who are either mentoring and/or managing the above name artist’s- Julia Pernicore and Erin Dougherty. Keep up the good work !!
