The ASCAP “I Create Music” Expo 2008 was held at the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood April 10th - April 12th. It is the only national music conference catered specifically towards the art of music creation. Innovation Entertainment was a co-sponsor of the EXPO’s closing reception, held at The Highlands. Our featured artist, Kwanza Jones, rocked the crowd with an electrifying set featuring the songs Darkness to Light and Victim of the System. This was Kwanza’s second performance of the EXPO; the first being on the Korg & Roland Stage. Everyone who was lucky enough to attend agreed that no matter the setting, Kwanza Jones doesn’t just give a performance; she puts on a show!

A couple months ago Mohan, mentioned that he had received an email offering the opportunity to volunteer at Grammy Career Day. Of course, being the avid music lovers we are, Thristina and I decided that this was an opportunity that we simply could not pass up. Networking with people from the Grammy Foundation, skipping out on a day of office work, and the possibility of seeing Maroon 5 up close and personal? We figured it was pretty much a win-win situation. A little part of us hoped that there was going to be some glitz involved (and there probably was for those people who got to be Talent Escorts ) but as we should both know by now, being in the “biz” is not always as glamorous as it looks... but we love it just the same.
