Technology for Liberia

Preparing Liberia for success in the new millenium, I had the honor to lend my voice and energy to a cause very dear to my heart! We are seeking to make the technological infrastructure of Liberia and access to the internet a commonplace resource through out the land. Many thanks to sis Matu Saye for inviting me and treating me to top notch acommodations during this wonderful event. The band SidebySol was a gift of Philly soul to my ears. I enjoyed many of the best singers in Philly that night, and I closed the show out with my set.We jammed at the African-American Museum in Philadephia, PA. I was Liberian princess for a day! Liberian hugs and kisses yall! Please visit http://Technologyforliberia.com to make a monetary or technological contribution today.

Saycon & Marty Thomas have fun in NYC!

Facebook followers please visit Saycontalks.blogspot.com to see more blogs like this:

Its been so much fun linking with my old "Wicked" buddy Marty Thomas! As many of you know I was in Wicked for 4 years and Marty was one of the coolest people in the cast! We've stayed in touch all these years. I even recorded my initial idea for the upcoming single "Warrior" at his home studio. He's been super, always supportive and hooking me up with the most fun gigs singing at various clubs and dinners, introducing me great people. He is the host of "Marty Thomas presents Diva at Industry" a popular gay spot in midtown Manhattan. I tried his Diva Gaga shades for kicks!!! I've had a ball singing there, testing out my new singles and serving up a little Color Purple for the nostalgia, honey! Hair alumnus Anthony Hollock was there and my friend Asantewaa and I had a ball hanging out backstage and enjoying other people's voices, costumes, and antics!

In the Studio with Thomson & Mann

I hit the studio the other day to record a demo for songwriting team Thomson and Mann! That's Jeff Thomson and Jordan Mann along with drummer and engineer Robin Lai photographed above. They're a couple of great guys who are doing some beautiful work. We recorded a spec song for a new Disney film called 'African Cats"! I hope it gets picked up and I got my fingers crossed. Meanwhile in between talking to my Mom, spending time with my boyfriend, and catching up on sleep, Ive been writing a few songs of my own. I'm excited about the music, image, and expression that I'll bust out with in 2011. More to come!
Saycon

Much Love from Saycon, Happy Holidays!

Fela! Cast in the Recording Studio!

Finally, the Broadway cast of Fela! has begun recording the soundtrack to the show! After a long week of performances, we headed into the studio on our show night off to lay the vocals and live band music of the Fela!. Soon people will be able to purchase our versions of some of the most exciting songs composed by Fela Kuti! Pretty exciting, since last year I had the great opportunity to record what would end up the Grammy nominated soundtrack for the Hair revival! The Fela album is to be released in June 2010!

Saycon records the revival soundtrack of HAIR

After opening week we kept full speed ahead to record the soundtrack for the show!This Hair revival has kept me plenty busy! We did the whole thing on a Monday! It was crazy and took lots of concentration but since we sing this stuff every night we were able to make it happen!I think I was "peace signing" and cheesin' a lil' too hard in this pic!


But seeing Outcast's platinum plaque in the hallway made me feel I was most definitely in the right place!Legacy Recording Studios in New York City!
