THANK YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
No, but really... on this journey it has definitely been a fight so to even have established a rehearsal schedule is a blessing!!! I just want to take this time to really show some love and appreciation to my brothers in Christ, (we're more like fam than anything) Michael Francis and Emmanuel Jones for supporting me and this ministry!!! The first rehearsal was great and I thoroughly enjoyed myself and you guys have no idea how much being there and working with me meant!!!! Glory to God!!! I look forward to the rehearsals to come!!!

I just want to sing!!!!!

All my life I've dreamed of being a singer. Taking the stage was always a natural instinct for me, and I've never grown out of it. I get emotional sometimes when I think about a song, or really living in what I know I'm called to do. It is truly apart of who I am. I started singing when I was two years old on the church choir, and now often times people as me if I ever get nervous when I have to sing, and to be honest... I Do. Every time I have to sing I get a ball of nerves down in the pit of my stomach, but as soon as a take hold onto the mic it's gone. Singing to me is like breathing. Making music, and drawing from many different inspirations is who I am and I cannot deny it.
I work in Midtown Manhattan for a nonprofit Jewish organization, doing Data Entry. I've just made a year here at this job and I am very grateful for it!!! It's relatively easy.. you know the usual Data Clerk requirements; filing, answering phones, billing, etc. It definitely pays the bills.... But Oh how happy I'll be when the day comes that I can sing, and write, and create, and minister for a living!!!! That is my desire!!!! I just want to sing. I know that God has called me to this particular ministry and I accept it... but I think Fred Hammond said it best when he said " Sometimes when you are called by God or you're called to do a work for God.. sometimes it just doesn't feel good.". I get an itch from time to time that just makes me want to sing, but the obligations of paying bills and all the other things that are necessary for comfortable living remind me that I it won't be given to me. I praise God in spite of the agonizing pain to want to do something but cannot necessarily do it at the moment... It has made me so much stronger, wiser, and even more hungry to fight and make it happen. So I'm out on the field y'all.. ready to take down any and everything that's there to hinder me from reaching my destiny. The word say "Knock and the door shall be opened", so open up cause I'm knocking!!! Mountains must move... Opportunities have to yield themselves in the Name of Jesus.... Finances, and any other types of provision that need to be made will be met!!! In the name of Jesus Christ I claim it!!!! Because if God before me, who can be against me!!!!
GLORY BE TO GOD!!!!!!
I just want to encourage you all, that if you know God has called you to a particular work and it looks like there is no way that you're gonna be able to do.... Say to yourself, " Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ" Philippians 1:6. God has given you the tools to do as He has commanded.. you just need to put them into action!!!!

As another Feature, I'll be sharing with you lovely people what I've been listening to each month. So as the First CD of the Month, I'll be starting it off with a classic from the Legend, Vickie Winans.




http://www.vickiewinans.com/

OK, so anyone that knows me knows that Vickie Winans is my all time favorite Gospel artist. Her range and style is just unmatched. I love love love this woman!!! On this CD, Best of all, she delivers an unforgettable rendition of We Shall Behold Him. What in the mess!!! LOL.. no one does it like Vickie!!! I'd have to say that my favorite song on the album is Victory!!!! The 80's music influence and creative hook is just amazing!!! I definitely want to redo this song sometime in the near future. When you get a chance go pic up this classic.. you definitely won't be mad you did!

Love,

UPDATE!!!!!!!

Hey everyone!!! As you can see I've been adding a bunch of things to the blog... I hope you like :). I just want you all to really have a good feel of who I am and see and experience the journey through the entertainment business with me. So.. with that being said here's an update as to what's been going on!!!


Skye Lab Music Group
On September 16, 2008 I had a meeting with Artie Skye of Skye Lab Music Group and it was great!!!! Basically they're a music production company that's going to help me put together my demo. It was really great to sit down with him and just express what I'd like to have and for him to explain what will be offered to me. I look to begin working on that at the end of next month. GLORY!!!!

Rehearsals
Tomorrow at 7:30 begins the first day of "official" rehearsals. The word says "be ye always ready", so that's what I'm doing. If anyone in the Metro NY area would like to help out in any way, backup singing, rehearsal space, musicians etc... e-mail me and we'll discuss it. lovejeniselavonne@yahoo.com

Acting
I've decided to put my acting on hold just for a while. Music production is expensive and doing both is a bit to much for me right now. Blacknexxus.. I still love you guys, but my music is my ministry therefore it is #1. :(

Lucille Roberts
Yes yes yes, I finally did it. I joined the gym. Now I've been working out faithfully on my own for sometime now, but I felt like it was time to "Upgrade" myself. "This is a Business", were the famous words from Miss Rap Supreme herself Reece Steele.. so I'm taking all of it, right down to my workout habits Seriously!!!!! Step ya Game, cause I'm coming for ya!!!! :)

BUCS
Yessir, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicked some Atlanta Falcon Butt last Sunday!!! GLORY!!! 24-9!!! Let's keep this trend Fellaz!



So that's the scoop on what's going on!!! as you can see striving to doing anything is not an easy job, but look forward to the outcome of all your hard work.. it definitely pays off!!!

Love,
Jenise LaVonne

Going back to the Lab... Christian Rap???

Alright, I have been M.I.A. from the studio since last September and it's about time to get back. I've been corresponding with this music group about producing and putting together some new music for me and I am thoroughly excited about it!!! YAY!!!! If God says the same, I will be back in the lab by the end of this month doing what I do best!!! You guys have no idea what that means to me. My past experiences being in the studio were really trial and error, but I feel like this time I have my head on straight. I know what I'm doing this for, I know what message I want to get across to the masses, and I know how I want to sound. Thank you Lord!!! I just feel like this time is right and nothing and no one is going to stop what's about to go down!!!


I was chillin in the hallway of the building that I live in on Saturday, hanging out like any normal young woman, with my sister and neighbors and we kinda had an impromptu jam session. I was singing like always and one of the fellas was rapping and I sat back and thought about it... Rap. I've never really been a huge fa of Christian Rap or even rap for that matter. In order for me to listen to it there would have to be something that hooks me. I enjoy select rappers such as Juvenile, Rick Ross, The Game, and of course the new boys on the block or how I like to call them, the silly boys of rap, V.I.C., Lil Wil, Dem Franchize Boys.. etc. As far as christian Rap goes, Lacrae and Trip Lee and my college friends formerly know as 3Shades of Faith. Rap has never really had a huge influence on me.. but I always wondered what does God feel about it? There's a lot of controversy surrounding Rap in the church and in the Christian community. What are my thoughts on it? Well... I feel like this. If God has given you a a message through music and you're not a singer.... fine. I feel like Christina rap is often taken to the extreme with these videos of these "Christian Rappers' in wife beaters, rollin up in their Mercedes Benz with madd chains and rings on. What in the world are you doing? I feel like there is no separation from mainstream. All in all, I look at christian rap as preaching to a beat. That's what it should be at least... There is no need for you guys out there to become thugs now for Jesus. LOL... he dosen't care anything about that. Being a thug for Jesus is and oxymoron anyway... LOL... It just doesn't make any since!!!! So if you're a Christan rapper.. Just deliver the message that God has given you. He does not need the help of an iced out chain, baggy jeans, Du rags, grills, and bling and anything else of the sort. LOL..
I think a lot about whether or not I'll incorporate a rhyme in any of my songs.... I don't know yet; But I will pray on it and consult God, because I know that God can use anything he chooses to get the message across.

Love,
Jenise LaVonne

Black Nexxus... Current Read.

Black Nexxus

Hey hey hey everyone!!! On this past Saturday I went to my first acting class with Black Nexxus. OMGosh!!! What an experience!!! I'm not gonna front.. I was definitely nervous when I first got there. The class is extremely intense but definitely worth it! My instructor is amazing and so gifted it makes you sick. LOL... He can literally just talk to you and feel out the type of person you are. That was definitely scary. I appreciate him though because in the class he encourages you to fail and mess up so that we (as a group) can help find out what the problem is and work to get the solution. Where else can you keep it that real??? Not even in our own houses or with our own families do we feel free to keep it that real. That's sad but true. Though I have a lot of growing to do and a lot to learn I feel like I am on an excellent path.

Current Read
Currently I am reading The Coldest Winter Ever by Sista Souljah... and I know what you're about to say. "Girl you are so late, that book has been out forever." I know... I read it before, I'm just reading it again. There were rumors going around that Sista Souljah and Jada Pinkett were putting together a movie based on the book. Hopefully that comes together well, and if the movie turns out to be as half as good as the book then you know I'm going to be all over it like white on rice. LOL... It was also said to be a release of the sequal to The Coldest Winter Ever called Midnight: A Gangster's Love Story this October. I'm looking forward to that one as well. For more information on these books and more on Sista Souljah, go to http://www.sistasouljah.com/.
