PureVolume: ArtMusic/Review - Daraja Hakizimana

So stepping into the world of the Hip-Hop/R&B culture, we are taking a step back in time to some classic sounding Vibes with Daraja Hakizimana's Art Music. Raised in Southern Houston, Texas he has strong roots with the Pan African Orthodox church (where he was given his name) and was nurtured by the warm and sophisticated tones of such artists like Marvin Gaye, 2Pac, and Sade. The sound he has developed since he was young is very much his own. Combined elements of R&B and Hip-Hop, Jazz and a little Dance, Darajas unique blend makes him sound like a true artist. The lyrical content is poetically rich and uses life experiences of love, politics, self-reflection and other themes to create interesting and emotion driven music. Over the years from his early projects, he has fallen, jumped back and due to the state of the industry, turned to going at composing, producing and launching his music independently with his own label My Block Recordz. Nine or so albums later

A MOMENT with>>>>>>>Ed Vela

Tell us about yourself and what you do: My name is Ed Vela and I am a National Award Winning Playwright, and an International Award Winning Screenwriter and Filmmaker. I began writing plays in the late 90’s. My plays have been published by 3 different publishers in both the U.S. and Canada, and have been performed in Texas, Oklahoma, Virginia, Arizona, and California (to mention a few) and even as far away as Debrecen, Hungary. I have won the L.W. Thomas Award for Best Short Play from Theatre Oxford, and won the Jewel Box Theatre Award for Best Comedy Play. I moved to Los Angeles for several years to try to bridge into screenwriting with mixed results. Two of my screenplays won International Contests and Awards, but I never optioned (sold) anything in the very competitive industry out there. I have also won awards for my short films at different contests and film festivals. I have won both a Gold (for my short film: STEP!) and a Platinum (for my screenplay: The Mortality Game) Rem
