Welcome to my blog- welcome to my heart. Welcome to Bloom’s World.
Going to share some thoughts and ideas and feelings with you. Going to bare my soul and let you in. Well, not too far.
I love SOUL, I love MY SOUL, and I bare my soul to those special people.

On that note— props to some of my fave new soul artists.

SOUL is in the air!
Lots of it…
New Soul, Southern Soul, Blues Soul, Deep Soul, Sexy Soul, Mean Soul, Modern Soul, Southern Fried Soul, Nu-Soul, Bare Soul, Acoustic Soul, Chamber Soul and Oh So Soul…
Ok- enough of my SOUL KICK but I’ve been deeply immersed in this scene for a long long time.

Worked with the likes of Monet, Angela Johnson, Seek, Vinx, Anthony David, Ivana Santilli, and many others. I know you just know me as the indie Hip Hop Queen or the alternative chick— nope nope—

Now I’m developing and repping a brand new artist that’s up and coming and going to hit pretty damn hard. I love the fact she’s a female repping – her name is MELISSA YOUNG….Her debut is ‘ JUST UP THE ROAD’ and guess what– it’s coming down the road- soon.
Mid-October to be exact.

She’s originally from S.Carolina and lives in Atlanta.

She’ll be in NY for some promo/publicity, listening parties and some very special performances.

I really hope you get to make at least 1 or 2 events and witness what I’m talking about when I say- Southern Fried.
