Celebrating Darien Hicks! We miss you!

I had the honor of performing for the posthumous birthday celebration of Darien Hicks a wonderful friend, brother, son, and performer who past away last year. He would have been 30 years old and we miss him! Charles Browning was the executive producer of the event and it was a class act! Hosted by the comedienne Gena Pemberton featuring musical performances by Marc Villa, Charles Browning, and dance by Danny Soto. Darien's family were in attendance and Charles also had a lovely brunch with them the next morning. I sang songs from Southern Pin-Up (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/southern-pin-up-special-edition/id302475798) and also covered some of Darien's favorite Janet Jackson songs.

Saycon attends Kimberly Nichole Presents: The Rise of the Underground

I had the great pleasure of attending "Kimberly Nichole Presents:The Rise of the Underground" at Le Poisson Rouge.This show was featuring Kimberly Nichole, Rahbi, and Charles Perry! Woo they were on fire! Lots of good "sangin", ruffles, lace, diamonds and pearls: everything I adore! It was a great show and I had a great time! They were on fire!

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!
