Phi'LA The Musical At The Nokia

So folks I'm sitting here in the dressing room of the Club Nokia and I'm feeling so blessed and inspired.  As we are going through the numbers and realizing minute by minute that Monday is closer than we know.

When asking 2 of the leads of Phi'LA The Musical, Godwin Thurton & Walter Catalan who play 2 battling gangters trying to protect their hood and their ethnic background, about their feelings of being here they had this to say:

Danyol: So Godwin how are you feeling knowing that you're opening at the Club Nokia?

Godwin: I'm ecstatic, excited and grateful.
Danyol: What are you grateful for specifically?
Godwin: For being a part of something that can help change our community.
Danyol: What is the one thing you want people to walk away from this play with?
Godwin: To know that there are issue in Los Angeles that need to be dealt with.

Danyol: What's the most exciting thing about being a part of Phi'LA The Musical?
Walter: One exciting thing is being around people that come from different places and getting to know them. Also the rush of being on the stage.
Danyol: Where do you want this play to go?
Walter: I want it to reach everybody that still have it in their mind that there's racial tension in their community.  All the urban neighborhoods that live this everyday.
Danyol: What do you want people to take from this play when they leave?
Walter: That all this racial tension is stupid and that it needs to stop before more people die.


Opening Monday, October 12th, 2009 at  8pm at the Club Nokia, those who don't take the opportunity to come see this musical will be missing an enormous part of Los Angeles history.  Filled with love, tension, social issues and positive change Phi'LA The Musical is the beginning of a new rising phenomenon.

Reality TV....

Never in my days did I ever think I would be doing reality TV....but here I am finishing up a pilot teaser for just that A REALITY TV SHOW!!!!! lol

The show I've been working on for the last year is called "The Lyricist".  It's an "America's Next Top Model" style reality show based on the premis of multiple songwriters living in the same house and being challenged week after week on their songwriting abilities.  Each week their visited by a celeb guest who will perform the song that each contestant has written. 

Add a $100,000 Publishing contract, the chance to write the shows theme song for the next season and the opportunity to be placed with a grammy award winning artist and you've got your self a hit!!!!!!

It amazes me how reality TV works from the inside out.  I can't reveal too much of the show because you'll just have to watch and tune in, but what I can say is that I am truly honored to have been part of the process!!!!

stay tuned for more of Danyol Jaye Updates

Inspired & Amazed

Ok so I just got home from watching an amazing show form the one and only Pink.  From the floor raising, acrobatic entrance to the hand popping sensuality of her couch performance to her amazing aero dynamic pool dipped finish, she proves more and more again that being an ARTEEST (lol) is no easy task. 

This girl gets my 100% Support!!!!

Re-Emerging

What's going ya'll, so I've been out of the scene for so long but a lot of you HAVE NOT forgotten who I am.  That to me is a blessing in and of itself seeing that people come and go in this industry unnoticed and definatley unrecognized.  With the help of a VERY talented Artist, Ja'ire, I'm back up and in the faces and the ear shots of an array of musicians, artists and other industry folks. 

The goal is to finish what I've started and make "Danyol Jaye" and city wide name known by every artist hitting the neo-soul/nu-jazz genres.  Eventually becoming a household icon.  Please Visit me on Myspace, Facebook & Twitter as well as hit up itunes for the new single "Get Out".

I'm very excited to be back in the game with a stronger mindset, a stronger voice and definately a stronger drive.
