Lulu white single

In 1898, “LULU WHITE” was an exceptionally beautiful entrepreneur from Selma, Alabama. She stepped out of the deep dark bowels of the south to transformed herself into the richest, most influential and powerful women in New Orleans. “Storyville”, “Mahogany Hall” or as the locals called it “Octoroon Parlour” was her was her domaine. “Lulu” was the proprietor, the queen bee & original Badass Goddess of New Orleans. This song and video “Lulu White” embodies courage, confidence, commitment, and power to inspire others to step into their own power and freedom! Special Thank - you to all who worked on this video.

Press / Reviews

A short break then followed before a completely different set from US duo Mirror Speaks The Truth. With a sparse onstage presence featuring only singer Glenda Benevides and guitarist/vocalist Gene Williams the sound is filled out with a variety of tracks and effects to create intriguing, surprising soundscapes for the two to perform over. This meant that the audience were treated to everything from hip-hop beats to autotune (as an effect) vocals while Benevides keeps things moving with gritty, passionate singing. The band prove to be the first of a number of left turns from the ‘Blues & Rock’ template today, a move which speaks well of the organisers wish to be as inclusive as possible, and which will hopefully help future events appeal to a wider audience.

Press live performance review #1

Here is what we are saying about NGU live performances with Glenda Benevides, Gene Williams and Steve Smith (Dirty Vegas): 

The (NGU) “Never Give Up” theme is one that speaks to all of us. It is a moving performance of dynamic music and video that entices audiences to experience and interact with the challenges and triumphs of never giving up. This performance is a unique blend of soulful songs, storytelling, narration, technology, and features a celebrity guest performer. Our guest for this performance is Steve Smith from DIRTY VEGAS. The one and a half hour performance drives our PR, marketing, and transmedia campaign, directly supporting and leading to the future multimillion-dollar staging of the full Broadway production of the “Never Give Up” show. 

NGU Philanthropy: Raising awareness for important local and global causes, inspiring communities, giving back while creating powerful moving entertainment.

Press live performance review #2

On November 27, 2016 I had the honor to be a part of the 85th annual Hollywood Christmas Parade, the largest Christmas celebration in America. This year the star Olivia Newton-John was in the first car as the Grand Marshal.  What a beautiful show it was! I hosted from a stage that announced the parade to over 2,000 people. On stage with me was the award winner director David Bartlett and singer/song writer Glenda Benevides, who gave us a breath-taking performance singing the National Anthem prior to the opening of the parade.
