The Inspiration. The Hope: Mr. Everything

The idea and hope behind “Inspiration” is definitely needed during these difficult and trying times; so where would one look for that inspiration? (You may be wondering silently… )Well, I know a Man and his name is Roosevelt Conyers but his ring name is "Mr. Everything" Victor Andrews.

As a child, before he found wrestling he dabbled in track for awhile but once he became more disciplined and focused he discovered his true passion for and within professional wrestling. Wrestling? Yes! You read that correctly: 

W-R-E-S-T-L-I-N-G 

His eyes as a child grew wide eyed and full of wonder as his biggest inspiration and motivation: The Undertaker

stomped onto the scene with full confidence ready to twist and turn the arms and legs of his his next opponent(s). The noise! The cheers from the audience and fans aligned with the hard dark atmosphere of his character made for one bad ass moment that will never leave the hearts of true wrestling fans!  

Mr. Everything has always admired The Undertaker and still does to this day. He admires the way he performs and his whole presence throughout his 30 year career has impressed him a great deal!

 

Mr. Everything still remains a humble guy even though he is knows he is the best of the best. So he chuckles when asked how many matches has he had so far but then replies: “I gotta throw a ball park figure of close to 2,000 matches in my 11 year career all over the US.” He goes on to shared that just about every match is memorable in their own way but at the very top of his list would have to be the tag match he had on WWE NXT against Heavy Machinery.

In order to be as successful as he is in the wrestling world he has to have some support and that support comes from his family. His mother, naturally loves and encourages his passion for wrestling! She tells him all the time to keep pushing forward and never let anyone stop him from getting where he wants to be (And all your fans, followers... agree! Keep going you got this!)

 

Now, when you have a desire to accomplish a goal, sometimes you have to make sacrifices. The two things he didn’t know before he started taking wrestling seriously was #1: the amount of time it would take him away from his family. #2: the long hours on the road and constant traveling it takes to be successful. Those two things alone keep him away from home a lot. As an added bonus he also wasn't aware he’d love wrestling as much as he does nor did know he would be given the opportunities he’s received from it so far. 

HE is not only a wrestler but he is also an exceptional Father. 

So, as a wrestler he as to be coachable, open to suggestions and criticism. Yet, as a father he has to be available, flexible, open to change, as well as being able to teach his son and learn as he goes. 

So, I'm getting some pretty awesome vibes and I'm totally feeling like he has a bright and promising future, what about you? Oh by the way his major goal and ultimate plan is to utilize his connections to get a tryout with a major company so he can get signed! 

He is determined to make it happen this year! Of course, right now due to Covid restrictions keeping wrestling events very limited he’s been working on some acting and modeling projects too. 

He’s also got a couple of writing projects and a TV series he’s working on that's due to be shown soon that will be done and released by the summer which is all very exciting and we can’t wait to see what he brings us next!

 

I know you want more! So don't hesitate! So show some love on his Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. You never know he just might respond with a "Thank you." Oh, and don't forget to catch my vibe!

ICONIC BOND: We Here Now (And More)

Welcomes with the Greatest Appreciation
 

Iconic Bond

https://www.theiconicbond.com/

Originally from Cairo, Egypt

Raised in the states since he was 4

He moved around a lot but finally made his way to NC. He lived in Winston-Salem and went to school at WSSU. Then after college he moved to Raleigh, NC.

He’s done 7 shows since he started. He’s headlined 3 of them.

His most memorable stage performance and best show would be his very 1^st headliner show. 

Iconic energy and stamina allow him to electrify at performances. He considers himself an MC because he can move a crowd and vibe with them when he’s on and off stage. But he is also a lyricist because he takes time to think about what he’s writing. He’s always loved wordplay so it’s something he’s constantly working on to perfect.

He is currently in the works to kick off an amazing first album which could be out before the year ends! The album will be kind of like his origin story. How so? Well it would be a collaboration project with his best friend Badlogic who produced the whole thing; exciting! 

He goes on to share “Me and him started on this music journey together,” “Literally one day he said “bro, I’m buying FL Studio” and I immediately went and bought a mic and created a little in-home studio and we began making music”" So this album is the compilation of the best songs they made together since they started.

He shares with a sarcastic smile: “Is there any other way to create music? I write everything I put out there. I think if you don’t write it, then what’s the point…”

As far as collaborations with other artists, he’s had one that has been made public so far (more to come soon…) and it was a song he featured on called Revolution that dropped earlier this year with the amazingly talented: Queen Sanaa.

The best advice he’s received: From his Manger before he went on stage for the first time was: “The stage is a boxing ring, when you step on that stage, your goal is knock them out”. The meaning behind this is basically to leave your heart and soul on that stage. You have to give it everything you got and perform the music with the same energy that helped you create it!

Iconic Bond continues in a gentle sentiment: “he also told me to stop trying to do everything alone. I love having control of everything I do so it was very hard for me to let go of certain things and allow other people to help me on my journey. It took me a while to get used it, but I finally got there.”

Music is the gateway to all types of possibilities. He’s have been writing ever since he was high school. He’s always had a love for poetry and music. Since originally coming from Egypt, the music scene is huge and it’s all very poetic and deep in meaning.

Hip-hop to him has constantly been the ultimate form of music if used correctly. It can change entire generations and it already has. On top of that, his favorite Artists are all amazing poets when it comes down to it. So that’s what inspired him to write.

The start was just the beginning but then he went to the next step in creating actual music with his youth group. He worked closely with a group of young brothers in the community. Then seeing them go from middle school to graduating college, he was able to see the impact that hip-hop had on them. Now in his opinion, he didn’t like the negative energy that it instilled in them and that is primarily due to what the current top Music being played was. See, he grew up listening to a whole different type of hip-hop so when he saw that, he felt the need to fill that void. On top of that, he was able to show them that they could also create music when they saw him do it.

His current favorite track written is one called: “Floating;” that song is on his first mix-tape entitled: The Breakthrough. Now, that track holds a special place in his heart because he was sitting up one night listening to this beat and instantly he was inspired to create a track about writing and creating a song. So he ended up literally spending the whole night until the sun came back up and wrote the thoughts that were going through his mind while creating it. When he was finished, it was the best feeling ever.

Each Artist can find inspiration and have a desire to work with a well-known Celebrity Artist in the music industry. The Artist that Iconic Bond would choose to work with if he could pick one would be: J Cole. He shares that J. Cole’s energy and ability to switch emotions track to track is amazing to him. On top of that, he thinks their music is similar in a way.

Why does his audience consider Iconic Bond different? Well because In the hip-hop game, he stands out because he is Egyptian (lol) and he’s cleaner in his lyrics than most rappers. Also, his music is easily adaptable to any person regardless of their background. He makes music that many types of people can enjoy, no matter what their race, ethnicity or beliefs are on the daily. He talks about life as it is, not as he wants it to be or as other people want it to be. He shares about real life situations from his eyes.

The future of his music is exciting. He is currently working on this collaboration album with his bestfriend: badlogic. He’s got another one already in the works, almost done with some amazing artists and producers. He’s hopeful that when the world opens back up he will begin touring a little bit outside of the local scene to spread his name around a bit.

His latest music video is called: We Here Now (https://youtu.be/6ViDSonmrgo).  He’s just ironing out some of his upcoming projects getting them ready for release. Also, he’s working on storyboards for the next couple singles so he can begin shooting the music videos.

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!

ALL the way from Philadelphia, PA Terrell Moore considers himself to be an MC and a very versatile Artist. His current album: The Freshman, was a goal of his for a long time. He writes all his own music and has collaborated with several different Artists and Musicians on his most recent album. On this current album is favorite song is called: “Get High” he shares that he wrote the song because the “Concept was so different and touching.” 

His inspiration comes from a long line of diverse music backgrounds. He enjoys listening to Motown and gospel music. During his journey he listened to and watched Sisco: The Dragon and Usher.
As it stands many Artists have Popular current Artists that they look up to, so that Artist for Mr. Moore is: Tory Lanez. He is a Canadian Rapper, Songwriter, Singer and Record Producer. He chose this Artist because from his sound and style this Artist is definitely a hybrid of R&B and Hip Hop. 

Mr. Moore hasn’t performed at any major venues yet just a few small venues and open mic’s. But his most memorable performance was when he performed in Wilmington, Delaware. He performed one song called: I GO which is on his current EP. The setup was kinda unusual because the Artists that were supposed to perform on the song weren’t there so he had to get his Artist friend Queen Mesh to help him perform the song. The audience was still very supportive!

Terrell Moore is constantly working on the next phase of his Music Career! So much goes into getting his music out there so while he is promoting and performing songs from his current album he is also excited about the creation and release of his second EP very soon and he’s looking forward to performing at bigger venues, hopefully this year!
