Jam Young and Ari Hotep @ Hard Rock Cafe (Memphis, TN)

This is my first blog entry this year and in quite a few months. The pictures above are from Friday night: January 18, 2013. Ari and I are performing "Stevie Wonder" from his album. The entry below this is his first single of the album "Grit, Grind," which really is an embodiment of Memphis life and the grizzles anthem. I just want to thank everyone who showed me love and especially Ari for always keeping on me and allowing me to perform with him at such an amazing event. This was the biggest performance of my career. I had my girlfriend and her family in attendance and it was a bit of a triumph because she was there for my first EVER performance and now she was there for my biggest as well. I hope the next time I go to Memphis I can replicate this greatness with Ari, Steve Fox, other artists, and/or solo as well even if it's on a smaller stage. Every performance I realize is important and I need to give my all whether it's one fan or 200 like Friday night. I will forever be grateful and I hope this is just the beginning of great things to come.
