Pierre Fleming: A Hidden R & B Legend

 

Vibe Highlights

“I feel like R&B is making its comeback I’m just waiting on the big re-entry so to speak.”

He had one feature on the EP which was whine one time ft Alex flow

 Best advice someone ever gave him:

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.


You may not have known but NC has many amazing talents and this singer/ songwriter and or Artist: Pierre Fleming, who was born and raised in Wilson NC is one of the hidden Legends. He is highly devoted to music, and he shares a passion for video production & photography.

 

His current single is called SHOW ME which was released in 2021 along with his EP entitled Seven Vibes. The inspiration that motivated him to create the pair was based on past experiences. He witnessed relatable perspectives through the eyes of others and wanted to vibe along with topics that would captivate his audience.  


He always had the ability to sing yet at the age of 18 he started writing his own songs because he didn’t know of any dedicated songwriters. In the beginning of his career, he started with many local indie concerts. He even won a first-place award in a local competition in 2014. He stayed inspired by all the prominent singers of that time; MJ, R Kelly, Usher, Tyrese, Joe just to name a few and each Artist had a different element that he liked, which shows in his music today.


We listen to Artist collaborations every day. The Artists go on tour, end up on billboards, and magazines together. So Wait! Wait! before you continue reading go check out one of Pierre Flemings' songs then close your eyes just for a minuet and imagine reading a flyer with the names: Pierre Fleming and H.E.R ( 5 time grammy winner) on the cover. The harmonies are undeniable and with such a smooth connected sound and relatable lyrics from both parties there is no other choice but to sit back and listen.


An Artist collaboration is just one door. There are many unique opportunities for him to be successful. We will hear more songs, see more music videos and live performances. He also wants to eventually start his own label and sign his own artists. You never know you could be the next big thing to blow up on his label, so keep your ear to the streets!

LVITTO: THE RED WORD SPEAKER

 

I'm not sure when the idea of "Good Quality and the concept of: TRUTH came back into existence but I'm very certain that once I heard his music that Truth and GOOD QUALITY were back with an amplified excellence and elevated passion! 


Successful Quotes to Remember

    "Be YOURSELF Speak YOUR truth 

No one and do you better than YOU."

    "I don’t follow the wave I make the wave."

 

LVitto

 

He is from Durham, NC aka the “Bull City.” He’s an Artist, Supreme Lyricist, MC hybrid, Investor and CEO of a full-service entertainment company called Family Bizness. He considers himself the “Red Word” speaker, as he speaks truth similar to the way the words of Jesus words were highlighted in the Bible.

His grandfather used to sing and play instruments for his church. Yet, the gift of creative art has always been passed down from his father’s side of the family. Lvittos' passion for music was conceived at age 10 when he first saw the “Victory” music video by Biggie Smalls. It was his first music video that he’s ever seen with such a cinematic visual, not to mention, in his opinion Biggie delivered a captivating performance lyrically. The entire roll-out compelled him to make music. 

Now, as a Creative Mind or Artist we pull our inspirations from different experiences in life, thoughts and reflections. So, our creativity can come from pretty much anywhere; from artwork with artistic influences from Jean-Michel Basquiat, Pablo Picasso, and then of course inspiration from family, the weather, the news, energy from other people and then naturally from: life. In his opinion, "life is the most influential component" that ignites his drive, passion, and creativity! 



BUT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE

It’s safe to say that the 90s music era became his BIGGEST inspiration highlighting some the most lyrically diverse and entertaining Artists’ in the music game such as: Michael Jackson, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Eminem, Fabolous, and Lloyd Banks. Jay-Z, Nas, Tupac, Common, Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes, Bone Thugs N Harmony, and many others... 


(#MemoriesShared)

One time, he saved his money and purchased a handheld tape recorder which he took everywhere. He and his best friend use to record in the bathroom treating it as their “studio.” Yet, over time, his skills advanced and he began battling in his neighborhood well on into his high school years. 

His nickname was “Los”, that’s short for his name, Carlos. But, that name quickly changed to “Los Vegas” because he was the youngest kid in cyphers with young adults and he still managed to steal the spotlight each time! Of course, with increased popularity and his advanced delivery and wordplay, the older guys in the neighborhood never wanted to invite him go to their studio.

He shares: “I can still remember hearing them playing their music down the street and me saying to myself, “I’m way better than them. Fast forward to now, I’ve recorded two critically acclaimed projects, have music streaming online and the radio. I also have a well-established company that provides management and opportunities for rising artists both locally and beyond!”


Name of His Current Album Entitled:

SOON

The inspiration for this album started with these reflections: “In life, people work hard to achieve the ultimate goal of success; however, some are never 100% confident that they will succeed. In 2019, I believed that the work I have put in throughout the years was starting to be recognized and respected, and the music I was creating at the time was reinventing... So, he collaborated with a few NC greats and made classics with them all. The sound of the music amplified success and it felt like a victory lap so he called it “SOON.”

He's participated in several performance that his company has thrown. But, his most memorable show was his companys’ first event at Pinhook in downtown Durham, NC. A concert series called “The Pinnacle” was created to showcase Durham’s top Artists of multiple genres. The highlight of the event: They packed the venue on a Thursday night for their FIRST EVENT!


FUTURE OF THE MUSIC

In accomplishing his music goals he holds a “Phenomenal roster of Artists within Family Bizness: Mally Evana, Ethan Taylor, Blessed Wins and Kronoz Time. But with his most recent album he collaborated with Artists such as: Swife, Shame, Jooselor, Chyna Vonne, Fess, 3am, Quentin Rashad, Tiyane Clarke and that’s just to name a few.

As most are aware with any levels of success there will be certain challenges as LVITTO reflects with sincerity: 

"I’m a genuine straightforward person; however, in this industry, not everyone is in it for your best interest. I had to recognize that fact and learn to navigate around the vultures of the industry."

The music that he’s creating now speaks to his current position mentally, spiritually, and as an Intelligent Black Man in America. He goes on to share that “the music he is currently working on is some of the best he has ever created.  The LIGHTS, CAMERAS, and some incredible visuals will be coming out very soon! Also, he plans on reaching out to the youth so that they can grow with music. He hopes to guide them in a direction of entrepreneurship and ownership!

JohnnyMac Jr: Making Bangers! Are You "Next Up"



Favorite Songs He Wrote: 
Follow your dreams or Divine




...is from Asbury, Park New Jersey!  At the age of 13 he started making music with his buddy for fun but boy oh boy was he terrible. Then as he matured  over the years he started to use music as a way to vent and help him out with stress.

He grew up always listening to hip-hop, and rap. He also loves jazz music and specific old school hip hop Artists such as: Eric b and Rakim, Mobb deep and many other talented Artists in those genres. 

Now, re all know kids can be harsh so when he started rapping in High School a lot of his peers would make fun of him and comment on his material telling him he "sucks." But, one day he just learned at the end of the day none of that matters if something makes you happy and you enjoy it; do you. 

When he was in his young 20's he dreamed of becoming famous and all that cool stuff but now he just does it for a hobby and of course because he enjoys making music.

When he originally started making music it was as a joke and he and his buddy would add in funny freestyles. But then around 2010 he linked up with a few kids on Facebook and he realized his style was something Legends are made out of: dope!

He taught himself how to record. The passion he feels fuels him with enthusiasm about the whole process: from listening to beats and just vibin' to tell a story. He loves every moment.

He now considers himself to be more of a lyricist. He tries to tell his stories in his songs and get them to connect with the audience. “We are all human so I know people go through some stuff” he shares and that’s something he believes that his listeners will connect with him on. 




His most current album released is called “Next Up” feat JF3RG. It’s on all major online stores just search JohnnyMac JR. He shares that nothing really inspired to he and Jf3RG to create it they just continued to mix and create new ideas by doing features and all of them were hits so they said let’s make it an album and of course every song was a banger !!!!

 The success he received motivated him to write more music and with that journey came back to back collaborations with fire Artists such as:  

Sammy Adams 

JFerg Astylez 

SnapBack 

TCTKO 

Capone Ace Montana  

Ice Kane 

Soulja Boy 

BLVZ 

Riff raff 


He and his crew had a whole movement they would do a shit ton of features with each other  and they had some heavy hitters at the time such as: LiL B, Riff Raff, and Soulja Boy on their movement. He flew out to Cali to meet up with all them and they created music and shot a few music videos. So, after that whole era they felt confident, and they were surprised that people were rocking so from there he started to take music more seriously. He wanted to explore the Music scene more so he kinda went down his own path trying to find his flow. He started telling stories of different aspects of relationships and just the shit people can connect to and his fans and followers grew seemingly overnight. 

 

So far he has performed 4 times, did a few videos on YouTube and as he stated previously he sees this as a hobby. He does this music for the fun. So, what's considered fun? The first time he ever performed! It was at Asburt Lanes in Asbury Park, New Jersey. There were about 725 people and the place was packed!  He performed his song: Follow Your Dreams and the feeling he describes as just amazing!

IF you are an Artist admiration for another Artists' work can be inspiring. Now, his all time #1 person he would love to work with is: Mac Miller (RIP). Why? because his vibe was just so perfect, very chill and he knew how to share a great story. But if he could work with an Artist as of right now it be Travis Scott, just because his energy is so LIT! 


 We want to stay in the mix with everything going on, he is currently working on his next singles and doing features. He will continue to drop music every so often and naturally he plans on dropping another album. There is no set date yet but maybe in the next 3 months. So! Be on the look out!

She is the 1 and Only: NunAfterHours!

 

She is the 1 and only NunAfterHours

Born and raised in Henderson, NC.

She had a religious upbringing. Her father was a pastor for most of her life.

She is the middle child and has 2 sisters whom she loves very much!

She considers herself to be an entertainer. She’s a multifaceted and versatile Artist. She raps, along with writing her own music and she also loves to dance. She hasn’t had any collaborations with any artists on her most recent projects yet, but she’s looking to do a few very soon! 


The best Advice Received
You only have 1 life

 Live for you and no one else


Her latest project is her EP, entitled “Fallen Angel”. In creating this EP, she wanted to show versatility and to show people that they can’t really put her in a box. There is a compilation of genres on that project, including hip-hop, pop, and rock. 

She came up with the title for the project “Fallen Angel”, because it relates to her spreading her wings to follow her passion of music, rather than succumbing to what other people believe she should do or be. 

In High School and College she wrote poetry. She didn’t start writing music until maybe about 3 years ago. There wasn’t anyone in particular that inspired her to start making music. It was just an idea and passion that she decided take a leap of faith with! 

One of her favorite songs that she has written is called: “Fallen Angel/ Abyss.” It’s one of the few songs where she gets a little personal. On top of that she loves the switch-up in that song. 

She’s had many performances but the one that she remembers the most is the Gemynii’s “HERstory” event (11/27/2019) at Pinhook in Durham. The energy and love from the audience was amazing! She didn’t know that so many people knew the words to her songs, so she was like wow! She also met a lot of cool people that night, and of course she had a great time!



When asked what makes her stand out from other Artists she responds with grace: "I’m humble and true to myself. I don’t try to follow trends or do shit for “clout”. I don’t care about fame. What I care about is building a brand by unapologetically being myself." 

She continues to explain, "It’s easy for people to stray away from their authentic selves. Some people die without ever really living, as paradoxical as that sounds. I admit that I was on that path, until I did some soul-searching. Since I grew up sheltered in a religious household it caused me to lose my identity, and I spent many years being and feeling trapped. I was mentally and emotionally exhausted." 

She dropped out of grad school to pursue music (What a bold leap of faith; inspiring!) She wanted to step out of the shadows and do something for herself, for a change. She was fed up with trying to live up to a standard of what other people wanted her to be. She just wanted to be her! 

She continues to share with, "There is only one me. There’s no one else like me. Hate me or love me. You choose. I don’t want my fans to love me just because they think my music is dope. I want my fans to love me for who I am, because I’M dope. I’m bold, unfiltered, and strong. I’m taking my power back through music. I’m ready to share more of myself with the world!" 


There are multiple opportunities around the corner even with the the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of the music endeavors have been put on hold until further notice. Though she had a few shows cancelled/ postponed, she had a virtual live show streamed via Facebook and Instagram back in March. I plan on having another virtual show, hopefully by August. I’m also going to stream the video release for my song “Abyss”, sometime in July. So, y’all be on the lookout for that! 


She is currently working on her next EP. She haven’t decided on a name for it just yet. Her music video for “Abyss” is coming to you guys really soon! She's super excited to drop this one!

Charles aka CP Alx.Zndr: "Everything I Write Has a Different Vibe & Energy

 “Everything I Write Has a Different Vibe & Energy”

The Best Advice Given

TG of Upstaged Music Group 

His close friend & brother

“How can you be heard of you don’t release anything? You have to share material in order for your name to get out there."  


Multi-platinum Producer 

Amadeus of Platinum Boy Music & close friend  

“Don’t give up because tomorrow can be your time to be blessed."

Award winning Singer & Songwriter Deacon 

His brother

“You can’t get ready, you gotta be ready.”

Charles aka CP Alx.Zndr is an award winning singer and songwriter from the Bronx, NY! But Brooklyn definitely has his heart too!An Artists passion is key so he shares that he considers himself a songwriter, singer and lastly a lyricist. He loves writing songs more than anything and it brings him joy to write for others and himself! He got into music from his performing arts junior school, the Harbor School of Performing Arts but his choir director: Diane Wilson, is the one who taught him how to write songs. 

He writes all his own music and he has collobrated with many Creatives such as his: Engineer Rezon of Dahitroom in Ridgewood, made the connection with Brooklyn Drill pioneer: Jezz Gasoline that has credits with other artists such as Bobby Shmurda and China Mac. His melodic flow and his aggressive cadence made for the perfect fusion of smooth but raw; the rest is history.


The name of his current single is “Friend Or Foe” featuring his homie; Brooklyn drill rapper: Jezz Gasoline. The inspiration for the album he shares honestly came from the producer: Anywaywell beats and Mario Winans. As soon as he heard the production he wrote the hook with the rhythm from Mario Winans’ “I don’t wanna know”. If you listen closely, you can hear the similarities 

Of course with his increasing popularity he has lost count of how many performances he’s had, BUT his most memorable performance was at the Barclay center for the post game show after the Nets vs the Oklahoma City Thunder played.  


Every Artist should have at least one well known Current Viral Artist, and that spot for him belongs to Mz.: Cardi B! He shares that they both are from the Bronx. Also, the songs she collabs with male singers on usually have a great vibe and he thinks their energy would be through the roof!



He’s certainly different from most Artists because others chase fame and money, but he’s one of those Artists that truly does it for the love of the ART. He would rather be behind the scenes creating the words for the song compared to performing it, even though he does enjoy being on the stage.


The Song Celebration Continues with him writing hooks and songs for other Artists, going on tour, creating more visuals, rebranding, getting more streams for his current and upcoming songs and working with Touch Music Group in his deal with them. So he will stay really busy!

Thor Angelico: "Always Do My Best to Stay Humble"


Best Advice 
"Always do my best to stay humble"
Thor Angelico is currently living in Nevada but was born in Rochester, NY. He's been writing poetry for 21 years and considers himself to be more of a Lyricist. 




He’s always had a passion for music! He grew up listening to all kinds of rock and heavy metal. His love for music grew from first hearing: Linkin Park. At the time He didn't really know what rap was until then and hearing them opened a whole new world for him!

In sharing his creativity he wanted to make music that had a bigger message collectively than just individual songs, so when you go through and listen to the whole album: Stepping Stones, it will tell a vivid story. He writes all his own music and he’s had some features he’s done for people, as well as he’s had other artists on his songs too.

Although he likes all of his songs, his most favorite single he created is called: Through the Forest because it captivates and tells a VIVID story full of twists about a metaphoric Spiritual Journey that is going on in his mind. 

He’s only done a handful of small shows up to this point. Yet, his most memorable stage performance was opening up for Statik G and Haystak last year. He will always remember that opportunity because it motivated and propelled him into a whole new excitement for music. He is more than happy to get booked for more live shows and performances. But he really wants to make a living off of his streams. That's his main focus!

There is always at least a handful of main stream well known Celebrities that inspire other Artists to create and the Artist that motivates Thor Angelico to create his music is the: Rap Artist and Lyricist: NF. https://www.nfrealmusic.com He has listened to his music more than anyone lately. He likes the fact that NF has a very similar message to his and is a voice for those who are voiceless. 
He believes that's why his music is so popular.
The ability to stand out from other Artists is very important. The life that he’s lived could be no one else's and he’s overcome a lot of mental health problems without being on medications. So there is room for him to speak on his experiences and how possible it is to beat these things as depression and anxiety etc. He’s not perfect but his progress speaks for itself. Yet, still he wouldn't want to tell us where he was 5 years ago compared to now.

There is so much more greatness for this Artist. He’s focusing mainly on continuing to build his fan base. He believes that the future holds endless possibilities. Many people tell him how unique and inspiring his messages are and he feels like he’s starting to make an actual impact. Music is his life, he’ll never stop.

NCC Records: Promotes Indy Artists



 

James “Mistajay” Genwright II majored in Business administration. But he wasn’t sure which direction to take his degree in but somehow his heart was strongly interested in: the Music.  


In the creation of making dreams come true, he and his team went through several different incarnations and mangers to gain control over their direction in music as a group. So his Inspiration to start NCC Records: North Carolina Commissioned Records was born from that desire but that was just the beginning. Okay so, what is NCC Records? It is a record and entertainment label that provides music services, writing features, sponsorship, promotion and distribution. The company is really aimed at promoting the success of their communities by sponsoring Indy Artists in music and film projects.

 

As the CEO of a very successful and ever growing company the ability to lead in certain situations is a major key component. It requires you to be a good listener willing to learn as well as intelligently delegate and remain inquisitive while staying on top of the newest trends in the industry. As we know life wouldn’t be as exciting without a couple challenges. But they are met with diligence and professionalism. There are times when decisions have to be made quickly, from deciding whether to keep with the newest sound or go in a different direction to finding who to work and network with that will be just as passionate about getting to the next level as you.


There are a variety of ways to create success and one of the things that this CEO would like to see more of is content on the company website that reflects a diverse range of entertainment endeavors. Which he hopes will lead to eventually working with heavy hitters like the multi-faceted Ice Cube and Kathy Hughes who started in radio with music and turned her vision into an entertainment empire.

FUN FACT: Participated in the Indie Film game with a couple small acting roles!
