People have talked about relationship abuse, but there’s one thing that is continually missing in the conversation. I think there are so many music artists out there using misogyny in the industry. I just wanted to do something to bring it to the surface. Every time I hear lyrics like “Hey Bitch! Wait till you see my dick” I am forced to ask myself.. “Do women listen to this?” I’m not a censorship supporter nor am I saying that it shouldn’t be out there for adults to “enjoy” if they so wish, but it does contribute to a problem. . . . . . .
Divos/ Divas: . Here you go. An article “in his own words”. The New Gay blog has posted my candid piece, “Gay in R&B: The Industry’s Known Secret“ What do I have to say? Check it: . “There has always been homophobia in the entertainment industry. People have been told to hide their relationships, change their lyrics, dress differently, and much more.

Yeah, it’s like that!! . Check out this new piece in Hotter in Hollywood!! Yeah, baby! We’re doin’ it big! Check out the article HERE!! “HIH had the pleasure of meeting JayBezz earlier this month and sampling some of his tunage. Our fave so far: “Drops the Beat,” a Janet Jackson-esque joint full of seductive synths (He’s rehearsing with choreographer Allan Frias from So You Think You Can Dance for the music video)!

The Queer Ear Blog posted their interview. You guys should go and check it. They say some really awesome things in there like:
“The pride and confidence evidenced by his description of House culture translates into JayBezz’s musical ideal: “swagger,” an “in your face quality” that defies the sense of self-consciousness and weakness that can accompany difference, innovation, and creative pursuits.

His music, though, revels in a smooth R&B musical language, at times longing, at times playful”
Hey Divos and Divas!!! . It’s almost here! I can feel the energy in the air. This project is extremely exciting for me because it really is a blast from the past. I’m singing about gettin’ that one I want and leaving the one I had. This is the most intimate and personal I’ve ever been with my music. I know you’re just as psyched (do people even say that anymore?!) as I am. Be sure to grab your copy and gift it to all your friends. This is the one you want to be sure not to miss! . . . . . . .
