Crunch

As much as I live in the gym, I am still djing at Crunch tonight. A great venue to practice. I am djing at the newest NYC club, Covet, tomorrow night as well. Should be cool! I have been extremely busy trying to take over Manhattan lol. Stay tuned!

Getting Organized

I didn't blog about this, but I had to replace my computer in October. I have been spending the past four months organizing and strategizing how to dj while maintaining my other endeavors. I am definitely going to be DJing more, and you will be seeing me a little bit of everywhere!

Dreams

I had a dream last night about my Grandmother. I was supposed to go to Atlanta today for an event, but luckily travel plans were shaky so I booked a flight to Denver. I am on the plane now. I made a vow to visit my family at least one per month. I admit it is becoming more and more difficult to be away from them. I can't wait to take my Grandfather for a walk and to chill with my Grandma. They made me! I know I get some caught up in the matrix and in the daily grind of making it in the big City, but my priorities are straight. Have a great weekend.

Electro Transformation

I am really starting to get into Electro music. The door opened last year, and I am going to officially start playing more electro and getting gigs in that market. I started djing because I love hip-hop but the crowd that my PR company brings out are not die hard hip-hop fans. I'm excited about my new path, and I know my ear for electro is going to open many doors.

Getting Started Early

I started my day early. I just get more things accomplished when I wake up early. I am working for the next few hours. Then, I am going to Crunch to do some exercises. Oh, I am a DJ for Crunch and am going to be DJing with Equinox in a matter of time because that's what I want to do :-). This is fantastic news since I am such a gym rat. I can't wait to show off my hard work this summer. Age is such a number! I am better shape now than at 21. Each Saturday, I take an African Dance class at Alvin Alley as well. I absolutely love it! I wonder when I am going to graduate from the beginner class? It's never too late to start something new. Soccer season is over, but Rachel Noerlinger, Al Sharpton's publicist, and I will be going a new league. I think the key is befriending people who enjoy the same activities as you. There is more to life than fruitless industry parties. I want to challenge my mind and body always.

Unfortunately, I am not going home this weekend to see my family. I miss them, and am I little home sick. Thank goodness, Jane Carter invited me over for Easter Weekend. Have a great Easter! If I am at her house, it will be a weekend of working and playing hard-Wine, the jacuzzi, and my laptop. The Jane Carter Solution just got into Target. I hope that I accomplish something of the magnitude in my lifetime. You have to surround yourself around the people you aspire to be! That's the only way. On that note, peace and blessings....

DJ Nickiee Spins at GoodGirlPR's Women In the Industry

I am amazed. At this point, I can put together an event in a couple of days. Assuming there is free alcohol, at least 200 people will show up! This event means a lot to me because it gives women in the industry an opportunity to truly network in a fun environment. This event will also serve as a celebration of my client, The Jane Carter Solution being sold in Target which is HUGE!. Click here for information regarding the event.

I am excited to be working with Jones Magazine and will have a full page ad in its first issue (Thanks for the opportunity).

Please note: I am in the process of moving my blog to Wordpress for various, NERDY reasons. I will keep you informed. Have a great, productive day. Remember, start TODAY. Kisses....

DJ Nickiee in Beyond Race Magazine

I am in Williamsburg. I finally completed my photo shoot with Beyond Race Magazine. The photographer was Robert Adam Mayer. Check out his portfolio: http://www.robertadammayer.com. Robert was really cool, and he loves hip-hop just as much as I do. He still has faith in hip-hop. I admit my love for hip-hop has diminished after being in this "industry" for less than a year. I just want to play records. I really have no desire to work with "hip-hop personnel" but for a select few. If I work with you it's because I believe in you, you are intelligent, you have good energy, and/or it's going to benefit one of my businesses (being honest). I made a conscious decisions to move in the fashion and corporate direction as of January 1, 2010. Check out the new blog HAUTE . Mission accomplished. I will never box myself in...

I styled the photo shoot myself. Ummm? I wore a hat in the shoot because I wanted to run this morning instead of having cute hair LOL. Since the photo shoot is over, I have been at an open-windowed coffee since the conclusion of the shoot. Headed to Clinton Hill for a meeting. I'm on my Brooklyn shit today. Sometimes, you just need a change of scenery.
