Rehearsal With Diddy

Let me start off by first saying that I am truly enjoying my life. The last 5 days were amazing. It started out on Saturday night with me djing in Indiana for Jermaine O'Neal's birthday celebration. Because of the where the dj booth was located, I was unable to get good pics. I returned home on Sunday evening and visited the Lighty's after they welcomed the newest addition to the clan, Jaden Scott "La Rock" Lighty, born Saturday evening. Congrats Chris & V!
On Monday, I had double dj duty. At the first event, I played for Russell Simmons' HSAN Awards Ceremony. I would like to thank Russell, Valeisha, & Dr. Ben for allowing me to participate with the event. The second event was truly something special! It was the Diddy All-Black Party, sponsored by Vibe! Now, I've djed many events this year and this was my absolute fav! Shout out to my co-dj, DJ Cassidy, Jessica Rosenblum & Len Burnett. The black party was to celebrate the release of Puff's new CD "Press Play".
Now, many people didn't know that Puff (Diddy) selected me & Clinton Sparks to be his official show djs. Last night, after my dj performance at Lincoln Center for the Young Patron's Society, I attended the reheasal for an upcoming television performance. Since I only had one hour before the start of my next personal dj gig at Cain in New York City, I decided to photograph the session.

Cool photos. You can almost feel the energy and sense the focus that Diddy and company brought to that rehearsal.

I would never make makin' the band...not so much because I can't sing or dance or don't have performance talent (which I don't outside of my car or the shower)...but because they are hard on a *playa*.
