Justin Bieber, Teenage Superstar

1/13/2023

0 Comments

Justin Bieber, Teenage Superstar was the correct "handle" for Bieber at the tender age of 16. Why? Because by that time, he had released "Baby," the best-selling single in the United States of all times. And... had made the top ten list of Forbes Magazine as "one of the most powerful celebrities" worldwide. Additionally, Bieber's songs had charted the Billboard Hot 100 with single digits in the United States and Canada and numbered ten (10) internationally. Young Bieber was smashing records of released music everywhere!

Youtube Discovery

Like several artists, Justin was discovered on Youtube from videos uploaded by his mother as she strove to reveal her "shining star." At an early age, Young Bieber had learned to play the piano, drums, guitar and trumpet; won local talent shows, revealed he was a talented singer, and Mom knew the videos would introduce him to the world. One of those videos included the singing of
Ne-yo's song "So Sick.." Scotter Brown, while looking for new talent, saw the video and contacted his mom. After much soul-searching, Mom gave "blessings" for his travel to Atlanta, and within a week, thirteen-year-old Bieber was making demo tapes and singing with Usher.

Who Was Justin Bieber?

**Justin, born in Ontario, Canada, was reared** in humble surroundings by a single mom. Mom's name is Pattie Mallette and Dad's name is Jack Bieber. He has two half-brothers: Jazmyn and Jaxon and a half-sister named Bay. Jeanne Sauve Catholic School provided an elementary education and St. Michael Secondary School issued his high school diploma. It is reported he graduated with a 4.0 honor point average.
Initially, Justin was assigned to Raymond Braun Media Group, a joint venture between Braun and Usher. Later, he signed with Island Records, which released his first single called "One Time." Young Justin's "leap" into super stardom was fast, yet secure. The road did not have customary rocks, curves and boulders.

Success is the Word

Success became a habit for Bieber. Failure never entered his door. He scored one hit single and album after another. With the face of a Prince and the heart of a child, young Bieber was destined to find success as an actor. In 2011, his "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" movie grossed $12.4 million opening day and 30. 3 million by the weekend.

Guest appearances included shows like: The View, Late Night Show with David Letterman, Nighttime, Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks, The Ellen DeGeneres Show and many more.

Life and Justin Bieber: Teenage Superstar

Worldwide, Justin and law enforcement have had several clashes. In 2012, he was accused of reckless driving; he was charged with vandalism in Brazil in 2013; and was arrested in 2014 on suspicion of drunk driving in America.
The drunk driving fiasco prompted 270,000 Americans to sign a petition requesting his deportation. That petition went nowhere. Apparently, drunk driving is not a basis for deportation in this country.

Additional Information:
Justin:

Owns a $25.8 Million House in Beverly Hills, CA.
Describes Himself as a Christian Who Communicates with God.
Received the 2010 MTV Award for Best New Artist.
Received the 2013 Milestone Award.
Received the 2021 MTV Award for Artist of the Year.

Duane Parham on Apple Music

What is Apple Music?

**With all of the Spotify "mental clogging," much of world has lost sight of Apple Music. It is a** music, audio and video streaming service developed by Apple in 2015. Wow! That was seven (7) years ago and in the information world that we live in, that could be construed as old. But most Apple users know that Apple does not let any "grass grow under its feet." That streaming service includes three (3) internet radio stations that broadcast in over 200 countries 24/7. So, my dear readers, Apple is not old.

How Does Duane Parham Fit into Apple?

Duane Parham is an "Apple Man!" He lives and breathes Apple, but compared with all of the hoopla with Spotify, he needed a miracle to get his Apple site moving. And . . . that is what he did with this song: "I Need a Miracle."

Click on the "Sneak Preview" on Apple:
‎I Need a Miracle by Duane Parham on Apple Music

As the listener takes in the "cool" saxophone of Duane Parham, the masterful accents of rhythm instruments and the weaving in and out of the main melody, one can say Parham got his miracle.

A younger Parham made an earlier version of "I Need a Miracle."

Fear of Being Alone

8/6/2022

0 Comments

Have you ever had this feeling? That you are alone in this world? A feeling that no one cares . . .

Fear of being alone makes people do things they would not ordinarily do. Once the fear subsides, they wonder how they could have done such a thing!

What is fear? Why does it have such a powerful hold on us? It clouds the mind, forces action and erodes the moral compass. Fear has many definitions, but for our purposes, this one seems to be the most logical.

"Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat" (Paul Ekman Group). And . . . most humans do not like pain or things that threaten their existence or goals.

What Drives Fear?

Fear is driven by uncertainty . . . the unknown and thoughts that generate the worst of human conditions. There is a fear of being unloved. Thus, the person may try to hold on to a relationship by threats, physical abuse or even death. Another person may fear poverty. So, he robs, steals or engages in unscrupulous business practices. Greed is often a product of poverty fear. Then . . . there is the fear of being alone.

There are many reasons why a person fears being alone. It could stem from loss of a parent during childhood, abandonment or simply not having had the experience of being alone. I knew a person who grew up in a large family, entered college and had roommates, married and had children. Even if circumstances occurred where she may have been separated from her husband, she never lived alone. The children were always with her. However, her children grew up, left the nest and only two (2) people were in the household: she and her husband. Many years later, the husband passed away . . . and she was in a big house. . .alone. Nights sometimes terrified her! Every sound became her enemy. How did she overcome?

Healing Fear of Being Alone

Facing fear is the key to overcoming it. How does one do that? There are those who say, "Ask yourself why you are afraid." Find something that convinces you that you are never alone. Typical solutions are: medication, psychotherapy, deep breathing, yoga, muscle relaxation and visualization. Each person must be guided by his own wisdom and understanding. However, this writer believes true healing is not physical, but metaphysical. Experience has proven that conquering fear does not occur in a moment, but a combination of moments . . .sometimes day...sometimes years. A good place to start is connecting with a source outside the human realm of thought.

"Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness (Isaiah 41:10)."

Don't shrug this off . . .these are words of comfort and spoken or thought with deep sincerity can ease the fear. Insert the word "you" for thee/thou and try it. Gain an understanding of each phrase. It may take several readings and contemplation.

Fear causes an inner disturbance only thought can correct. You can't massage it or wrap a bandage around it. It is deep inside. You need something "deep" to reach it. There is nothing deeper than spirituality. Let me warn you! You can't half-step. You have to believe in what you are doing. Your results will follow your beliefs. There are many biblical verses on peace, joy, comfort and love. Do you know that "love" is the opposite of "fear?" Feeling loved by something or someone, is very comforting.

Disturbance of human nature is only corrected by divine nature. This verse allows you to feel the presence of a Power greater than yourself . . .greater than your fear. God becomes your companion. Therefore, you do not feel alone. Well . . . that is the message. Take it or leave it!

Exploring "Your Precious Love" with Duane Parham

6/28/2022

0 Comments

Have You Asked the Question?

"How precious is the love of the person I hold dear?" We ask you: "Are you taking her/him for granted?" If you are . . . one day that person may not be there for you. Duane Parham obviously thought about what it means to have a "precious love" for him to "cover" the Marvin Gaye/Tammy Terrell version of "Your Precious Love" and . . . make into a video. Presently, it has over 10,000 views on Youtube.

What It Means to Be Precious

As I reflected on the word "precious" in terms of a person, words like: "priceless, treasure, dear, invaluable" and "beloved" came to mind. Taking a step further, it means someone you can count on during the highs as well as the lows . . . someone who always has your back. It would be wise to not abuse that relationship in any way. Watch and listen for a few seconds. . .

Duane Parham Unmasked

Let's talk about Duane Parham. Who is he? Duane is the father of three (3) adult female children. Each has carved out a successful path for herself. After two (2) divorces, his saxophone has become a constant companion. Parham would be lost without it. This is not to say he does not have a special "female companion somewhere."

Most of Duane's musical career has been in service to others. Yea . . . he has CDs and albums, but countless families have and continue to look to his musical performances at their weddings, funerals, birthday celebrations and parties. Further, he and his band have traveled across America and played in clubs and festivals for many years. This is an enjoyment he continues to enjoy.

The Educator and Provider

Numerous children have felt the "breath of his horn" as he guided them through not only the "sharps and flats" of music but also the "highways and byways" of life. His 501 c 3 nonprofit, Educational Arts Society places FREE instruments in the hands of children. Your contribution is greatly appreciated. Click here.

If you are motivated how he did all of that, read or get a FREE audio of his book, "Can You Hear Me Now?" Click that link . . . it will get you there!

Duane: Your Precious Love

Duane has many "precious loves!" This article shared some of them. His latest CD Single "Your Precious Love" simply magnifies what they mean to him.

What does the future hold for Parham? His company, Saxville Avenue, is about to release a new album with such Motown greats as "The Four Tops," "The Contours" and the latest singing sensation, Tammy (Trele) Davis. Sitting "on his hands" is not a trait of Saxophonist Duane Parham. So . . . stay tuned!

KENDRICK LAMAR: WHO IS HE?

6/10/2022

0 Comments

KENDRICK LAMAR: Let's get it out of the way right now . . . this writer had no idea who he was prior to this article. Brainstorming led her to research the top ten rappers. Guess what? Lamar headed the list! I am sure you knew that . . . o' well. Before we embark on what research revealed about Lamar, if you live in the Detroit area, you may want to know when and where you can see him. . .

Five Things to Know About Lamar

He Was Born in Compton, CA in 1987
His Full Name is Kendrick Lamar Duckworth
His Net Worth is 75 Million
His Fiancée is Whitney Ashford
He Began Dating Ms. Ashford in High School

Answering - "Kendrick Lamar: Who is He?"

Kendrick Lamar is a songwriter and rapper who broke into the American spotlight in 2010 with "Mixtape O(verly D(edicated.." He is not only one of the highest paid rappers, he is one of the most popular. "Mixtape" follows much of the language and social issues many rappers expressed at that time . . . not main street appreciation. It sold 12,000 copies a year later.

What did Lamar learn from the Mixtape release? One can say, he learned that in order to reach a wider audience, he had to make some changes. So, in 2013, a more mainstream album called "good, m.A.A.d City" was released. Some declare it to be a classic. From my perspective, the lyrics describe an angry young man seeking to find not only himself, but a pathway in life that he (himself) can live and respect. Music can be a means of working through mental confusion. The song may or may not have been a "life lesson" for Lamar, but it certainly was a "listen my friends and you will hear" advice for his male counterparts.

Career Highlights

Some of Kendrick's song hits are: The Heart Pt. 2, Keisha's Song, The Recipe, Hood Politics, P&P, R.O.T.C. and She Needs Me. A list of his awards and successes include:

10 Grammy Awards
A Pulitzer Prize Album
He Ranked #9 on Billboard's 10 Best Rappers of All Time List
He has been called one of the most influential rappers of his generation.

Now You Can Answer: Kendrick Lamar: Who is He?

Chuck Arnold refers to Lamar as "the truth-telling voice and consciousness of hip-hop." My experience in the rap world is limited. Therefore, I cannot dispute that analysis. What I can say is, researching this man has been an informative and exciting journey! He is inspirational, intuitive and "tuned-in" to America's (problem) cultural issues. We need all three.

Finally, after a 5-year hiatus, Lamar burst on the scene in May 2022 with the album "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers." If it follows the history of Lamar's music, it will be a success. However, as a biblical reader and writer, the album cover gives me pause. . .. So, I ask, "Is the crowned head of Lamar symbolizing the suffering of Jesus Christ?" And . . . is the woman holding the baby trying to relive what it means to hold "the baby in a manger?"
