THE HISTORY AND HOW NEO SOUL, THE TV SHOW, GOT STARTED
THE BIRTH OF A DREAM
By KNYTE
Tracy Crews had an epiphany, a dream on the poetry scene
Tracy wanted to see poetry not only on the stage
but on TV and the Big screen...
Not limiting artistic abilities to spoken word
but to expose art, film, fashion, song,
and a Variety of things...
As a mother of 3, this mission would not be easy
yet June 2001, Tracy pursued her dream
"NEO SOUL" was born, now, developing her own team.
Bro. SON and her babies, ANDREW & BETHANY
just kids at the time, not even pre-teens
all nighters in the studio, her kids eating,
doing homework, sleeping in the greenroom
or in an edit suite with their momma...
Tracy was birthing her dream
and impossible at times it did seem.
Thanks to People TV.
Bear in mind, without any financial backing,
all out of pocket, on her challenged income...
She's handling work, family, studio, school, church,
everyday life and things and then some.
A single mother-student-producer a bit of everything
again no cash for cast and crew it was all Volunteers.
Around that time within the first year, I (KNYTE)
joined the Family and then a medley other host appeared.
INFINITY, MOLASSES, ANDREA MILLS, BONNIE, DOC, CHINWE, MAS, MAURICE DEVINE, RAJHEEM, CHANDRISE ROSS, B. HOUSTON, COLA RUM, LAS4EVER, and KIMANI just to name a few.
Well, we're still at it and grinding
and if you're not careful, our next host could be you.
AMIR BARAKA, SONIA SANCHEZ, LAST POET, NIKKI GIOVANI, poetry's elite...
JESSICA CARE MOORE, JON GOODE, GA. M.E, MALIK SALAAM, BONNIE, SPINX, YOHANNES, QUEEN SHEBA and ABYSS, international slam poets who cannot be beat.
ABFF, Trumpet Awards, THE GRAMMIES, BET Awards, Tyler Perry, Dallas Austin, SJUFF, Rain Forest Films, private screening, red carpet events left and right,
privy to in side scoops that are mind blowing
and out of sight.
Years later "NEO SOUL" has a SOUL
that is still sharing, speaking, and interviewing
the people in the know, from coast to coast...
from the RED CARPET to the open mic, local and
international celebrity artist doing what they do,
we're just stating and not trying to boast.
"NEO SOUL" is renewing what America is viewing
no matter how difficult the task may seem...
Because Tracy Crews chose not to snooze
yet produce & pursue her seemingly
impossible DREAM.
“Neo Soul” will:
1. Ed-u-tain you. (Entertainment with a positive message)
2. Bring light to the underground.
3. Broaden artist audience.
4. Inform the audience “Where Word is Heard”.
5. Prove poetry is “More Than Roses are Red” and Violets are blue.
6. Confirm that diversity is a good thing .
7. Unify by crossing racial, economic, religious, ethnic, and cultural
barriers through positive creative expression/communication.
8. Provide a multi-dynamic, grand open buffet for the fine dinning
of food for the Soul and the Spirit, please hear it...
Come! Celebrate, spectate, and participate and collaborate with us.
