Motown Baby!

Hey guys just a little peak at the cast of the most recent workshop of the Motown inspired Berry Gordy musical! We spent much time tweaking the script and singing the changes! Its gonna be a good one, I found myself play several key character, important people in Mr. Gordy's life, including his beloved sister Anna Gordy,was formerly married to Marvin Gaye, the fabulous Martha Reeves, and the tough talking, smoothly powerful Edna Anderson. Many things change during the creative process but so far it has been amazing!

Saycon Sengbloh attends the NYC premiere of the Whipping Man!

Theater is alive and well! I attended the opening night for the Whipping Man starring Andre Braugher. It was a very unique show that give a bit of insite into the lives of slaves own by Jewish Americans. A different angle from the usual narrative on slavery the play also featured Jay Wilkison and Andre Holland who has an uncanny resemblance to Danny Soto. Of course I had a ball hamming it up in front of the red carpet "step and repeat"! I'm a recessionista, my shoes cost more than my entire outfit! We had fun laughing as the people told Danny congrats on the show that he happened to not be in! Great Fun!

Make-Up artist to the stars: Day Hill of Buddhaflyy

This week I reconnected with my friend Day! She's known as a makeup artist, stylist, but she's also an actress and writer. We attended highschool together and were in Freddie Hendricks' YEA! As a stylist Day helped me to re-create the Vanity Six/ Apollonia Six look in my retro-music video for "Recognize"! Currently her work can best be seen all over the world as the make-up artist who gives you the ultra girly glam of hip-hop recording artist Nicki Minaj and the soft and natural look of Chili of TLC whose reality show, "What Chilli Wants" is airing on VH1. She even took time to "beat" my face for an interview I did for Liberian Seabreeze Journal I've included photos from that day! Tonight Nicki Minaj will be a guest on Saturday Night Live! It will be a great night, our other classmate Keenan Thompson has invited us to come hang! I'm looking forward to it.
