Editor’s Note

PERSISTENCE: is an essential factor in the procedure of transmuting DESIRE into its monetary equivalent.

Most people are ready to throw their aims and purposes overboard, and give up at the first sign of opposition or misfortune. A few carry on despite all opposition, until they attain their goal.

Rodney J. Simpson Editor-in-Chief Twitter: akshuneo Instagram: akshuneo Rodney@fametheexperience. com Fame The Experience Debut Issue November 2013

The time will soon come that all your hard work will pay off and those NO’s will become yes so don’t GIVE UP stay PERSISTENT and focused on the prize. Creating the second issue was a little easier than the first because we have grown and learned a lot as a unit. Based off the positive response from the first issue we decided to create our own lane and really focus harder on giving you something fresh and new.

Also while creating this issue we presented the world with a visual documentary film on creating our first issue it took place at Atlanta’s Mid town Art Center near Piedmont Park the response was SUPER we went with a 20’s themed event images coming soon. Since its march we have a few spring looks sprinkled in this issue from the party bus to give you that warm feeling.

Fame The Experience

New Again in Atlanta By: Han Vance

One of Pablo Picasso’s famous faces overlooks the basement gallery at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, amongst several other noteworthy new acquisitions. On my weekly sojourn to the leading art museum in the Southeastern USA, where I have been an active member for years, I found Picasso perfectly placed near newly acquired works by Willem de Kooning and Radcliffe Bailey.

Little known fact because it works so well to encapsulate the surging rush associated with the contemplation of significant art pieces: “High” is actually a personal family name stamped on the Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta art space by the family who once lived there. In 1983, architect Richard Meier built the modern building of the museum, a shock white outer space age open atrium architectural marvel signaling the moneyed cultural arrival of the urban Deep South.

Unparalleled greater metro area growth starting in the late 1980s and then the 1996 Centennial Olympic boom saw Atlanta outgrow the museum’s capacity relatively quickly. Deferential architect Renzo Piano undertook a major expansion project completed in 2005, working as a compliment to rather than an outshining of the existing Meier construct, while Meier had bloomed into a so called “Starchitect” with the massive multi-billion dollar Getty Center in Los Angeles, a West Coast favorite of mine for its sprawling physical magnificence and setting more than its extensive collections on display. The Getty is always free to all visitors, by the way.

The High Museum exhibits only a small fraction of its owned pieces at any one time and does a nice job of mixing in varied types of traveling and unique site-specific shows, rotating the stored and displayed pieces frequently enough that I see something new every week.

Here, in a level far below the crowd crush of current main attractions, three diverse and each in-their-own-right fabled artists shone as brightly as the Southern sun beaming through a nearby window: The great Picasso, a one-word brand, the wellrespected Willem de Kooning and the lesser known yet acclaimed Radcliffe Bailey.

Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), the cubist Spanish painter who lived most of his life in France, still probably best known for the war painting Guernica. Willem de Kooning (1904-1997), the Netherlands born hard drinking, heavy stroking “painter’s painter” of the New York School of American abstract expressionism (a post-WWII group which included Jackson Pollock). And a man I know personally, Radcliffe Bailey (born 1968 in New Jersey), the first Atlantan to have a major solo exhibition at the High with his stellar Memory as Medicine show in 2011. Bailey, a graduate of Atlanta College of Art, is a contemporary painter, sculptor and installation artist working in mixed media. He is a product of personal and cultural history, like you.

Music

Music Is Global Jimmy Antony Danish producer Jimmy Antony is a man of few words. He is also a man deeply motivated to create authentic music for the generations on an international scale.

Antony shares his past, present and future plans on the horizon. He was born into a musical world his father was the creator of the Danish soccer-national anthem but his entertainment life had humble beginnings which to this day keeps him grounded and focused on honing his craft and building on his success. His tenacity for making beats from scratch has created fans outside of his home city of Copenhagen. After working hard and building relationships with some key industry players he is finally going international with his brand. Not so long ago he received a phone call that would change his life. This is his story: 1. Being that your father created the Danish national soccer-anthem; what kind of perks and privileges came from that. ( I.E. Did you receive a lifetime field pass to all the soccer games)

32 Fame The Experience

None what so ever! Ironically, I never been a fan of soccer but my father was, and would drag me to a lot of the games. But overall, we remained the same citizens of

Copenhagen as my family expected. We received no special treatment and we were not considered celebrities at all. At a point, if someone did mention it, I found it kind of embarrassing.

2. Your mixing technique and skill was developed organic and authentically due to the fact, technology wasn’t as advanced back in the 90’s. What criticism do you have on today’s generation of mixers, beat makers, Producers or Dj’s?

I have no criticism honestly; technology has developed in a way that you can create anything you want from the comfort of your own home. Young producers today have a different technique when it comes to mixing; most of them don’t need the background for learning the techniques that I had to learn to be successful. I used to record on tape- which could take all night. If something went wrong, you would have to rewind the tape and redo it all over again. Today you can record a chorus and copy it from A to B. But nevertheless everything overtime especially technology changes so rapidly that even musical veterans have to adapt to stay successful.

3. YOU begin to lose interest in the music business during your career; what was the cause of this?

Things began to move extremely fast around the early 2000s. Due to the fact that people could record and create music without a professional studio or engineer; the market became flooded. For example, YouTube gave everyone an opportunity to be an artist or a producer without being signed or having a record deal. It seemed to create a forged race of competition in music. That troubled me tremendously, and at that point in time I couldn’t predict where the music business was actually heading.

4. Describe how you got your big break. What sort of events led you into this specific moment of success?

My big break was when I got word that Ice Cube was going to use one of my tracks for the Oakland Raiders NFL season of 2012. My manager, Willer of Solid Productions used to work with Ice Cube during the NWA era. Being Danish as well, he kept close ties with Danish producers like myself. Eventually it gave me the opportunity to become connected
