Fela and the Tony Awards!

The Fela! Broadway experience found me in some of the most exciting situations, one of my favorites being the Tony Awards! We were nominated for 11 Tony awards! My mentor Freddie Hendricks, and my friends David Kote and Shilla Benning all found their way to NYC for the ceremony! I received well wishes from everyone and took lots of pictures in my dress by designer Edwing D'eangelo! Both my beau, Danny and I were dressed up and had a wonderful time!

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 Sengbloh and Patti Labelle in Fela!

I'm jumping for joy for what happened this year! One of my favorite singers in the world Patty Labelle joined the cast of Fela and there I was singing with Miss. Labelle every night! Everyone asks what was it like to work with Patty Labelle? She was a pleasure to work with! My favorite thing was seeing what shoes she'd wear to the theater everynight. I also made friends with her hair stylist and longtime friend Miss Norma. Norma is responsible for all those famous "Hair-doos" Patty is known for! I hope to keep in touch with Patty and her crew!

SAYCON in VIBE magazine!

Hi Everyone,

Its been a while and I have alot of catching up to do! During the last few months so much has happened and I have yet to blog about any of it! I've collected sooo many photos and little stories to tell about what's happening in my life and I look forward to getting it all blogged out! One of the most exciting things is that I'm currently featured in Vibe magazine (twice)! They did a great article and pictorial on Fela! on Broadway and there's also a fun article about the new Minx nail trend that features my hands. Special shout out to Edwing D'angelo for dresses, Mackenzie for styling, and Korto Momolu for the jewelry I wore during the video interview! If you haven't seen the magazine it's the Juice issue with 2 covers, one featuring Eminem and Dr. Dre and the other featuring Diddy, Janelle Monae and Rick Ross! Blessings to all!

Hugs and Kisses,

Saycon

Femi Kuti visits "Fela" show on Broadway!

It was thrilling to know that Femi Kuti was in the house! he seemed to genuinely enjoy our take on his father's legacy and his father's music. I can imagine it must be surreal to witness someone portraying your father and his life onstage!
