The Ambassador of R&B: Mr. Chenier

What are your thoughts on the music industry today? 
"I want to bring the love songs...Back to the radio!!!" 
I think that answers that question. SMILE!!


Background:

His name is Chenier Wilson. He goes by Mr. Chenier the Ambassador of R&B. He was born in Brooklyn and raised in Queens but now resides in Raleigh, NC. He considers himself the Ambassador of R&B because he feels that he represents R&B to the fullest from music, to videos, to live performances. He represents the Grown & Sexy Sound!

He was about five years old when he first discovered that he had a gift for singing. In his very young years he us to watch a show that used to come on TV called the Ed Sullivan show. They were showing a Jackson 5 performance and from that point he started learning their songs and he thought he was Michael Jackson, he even sounded like him...till puberty hit.. LOL! He started singing seriously publicly in his high school choir, high school gospel choir, College choir, College gospel choir and also his home church choir.

He shares a story about his first stage performance recalling this event: "My first stage performance I had to be about ten years old. I was bragging about how I can do this, and do that on stage to my cousins, and when it was my turn to perform on stage at the talent show, I froze. Classic stage-fright!! So I did what most kids would do in that situation. I ran off the stage and into my mothers arms...Every now and then when I get with my family, my cousins always say..."Remember your first talent show?" 

He doesn't just sing, but he also reads and writes music too. He does it all. He learned in school the art of reading music and writing came natural for him because he used to want to be a rapper at one time when LL COOL J came out. We're from the same home Boro of Queens. So rhyming was somewhat easy.

Changes, Making Moves, Blessings

I haven't had much time to write. I, honestly have been so busy getting my life in order. If I'm not at work (yes, I finally got that new job that I was praying for!) then I'm at rehearsal with the band or writing music, modeling or studying my lines for the musical that I'm in






God has opened doors big time for me and I'm truly grateful and thankful. I want to thank all the people that were in my corner and who are still there. I'm not completely out of the woods just yet. I still have more preparing to do. 

Sometimes right before we are about to give up, and throw in the towel God is like: "wait, before you do that, let me show you what I can do." 

How did I get my new job? The job that I really wanted? By being diligent in prayer, having a bold faith and being consistent in putting my resume out there. I did not even have to have a formal interview. She, my supervisor, told me that as soon as she heard that I needed a job she hired me right on the spot!

No trial period. No run around. The job was already  mine as soon as she heard I needed one. 

If that isn't Gods' favor then I don't know what it is!!!!!! 

See, I finally got tired of being tired.
I finally got tired of watching other people receive their blessings and wondering where mine was. Sometimes our blessings don't come to us because there is someone or something stand in the way and or we haven't made up our minds that we are ready to receive them yet. 

SO, I finally made up my mind that I want and will have better for myself. 

I am determined to live a peaceful and financially stable life. 
I am determined to be a successful supermodel, songstress, business woman, wife and mother (in the future lol). I am determined to have the life that I want and nothing and no one will stop me nor stand in my way.

The New Chapter: You Are My Adventure

This is a new chapter in my life. It is filled with adventure, sarcasm and of course being absolutely gorgeous. I am in LOVE. Yes! I finally found my prince and he is amazing. He encourages me to be my very best. He supports my dreams to model, sing and travel all over the world. I must say that it is nice to have the support. I won't rehash the last several months of my journey because it isn't relevant to all the amazing and wonderful things happening in my life right now. 

 But, I will say this, I thank God for all the bad moments in life. I thank God for still staying by my side when I wanted to give up. I thank God for sending people to be by my side during the unexpected event. I thank God for still loving me and still sending people to love me even when I was not at my best. I do believe in true Love, because God sent a someone who shows me what it looks like everyday. 

I use to dream that my prince charming would fly into my window on a white horse with diamonds and sweep me off my feet! Oh! how! wonderful, right? yack! hahaha But, I don't have to dream anymore because every day I see my prince. He reminds me that love still exists and that love can happen for me too. 

 



 I am blessed. Even through the storms.
