| Ajae: An amazing songstress, songwriter, and as of late, she has shown great promise as a producer. Ajae’s love for music dates back to her Apostolic church upbringing. During Ajae’s youth, her mother played an integral role in shaping her daughter’s music career; she enrolled her in the church youth choir. Ajae’s mother recognized the musical prowess that rested within her daughter. Soon after, this single parent began developing a young Ajae’s voice by carefully mentoring her through practices with the choir.
The songstress remembers growing up in an environment fully submerged with music. For example, Ajae’s aunt was always around her singing songs by the ever popular Chaka Khan; because of that, Ajae’s music is somewhat inspired by this famous singer. Her aunt would also be seen performing on the local circuit. Not to mention, this phenomenal artist’s grandmother and great-aunt were well known throughout the church populace for playing in the church.
If you were to ask Ajae about her musical training, she would probably express to you the many years of formal tutelage. Her abilities were greatly enhanced by the piano lessons she learned at age 7. She continued her training on different instruments such as the violin, the viola, and the cello. As her abilities increased, Ajae would soon move into the school chorus. It was then she would learn to really capture the moment with her voice.
Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Chaka Khan, Anita Baker, Sade, and Teena Marie: these R&B singing monuments were some of Ajae’s greatest influences when she was perfecting her signature sound. After high school, Ajae was compelled to begin her music career full steam. She began touring with a band named ‘Midnight Blue’. It was later that Ajae was priviledged to gain some knowledge on stage performance and how to act on the stage by a former band member of Midnight Blue. Ajae was satisfied for a short while; but the desire to grow wasn’t. It was at this particular juncture in her career that she used her knowledge and skills to create her own music; this was destiny. Ajae soon realized her music was pleasing to others and it was also marketable, very marketable. In the grand scheme of things, Ajae’s purpose is to please the masses with her beautiful R&B. Her life’s objective is to rejuvenate this genre and detour it from an untimely death by samples and loops. The life-sustaining heartbeat of Rhythm & Blues rest within the chords and melodies. Ajae IS the re-birth of old school R&B.

| It’s no secret that the south is a hotbed of hip-hop talent but in the case of Eatavius Ferguson a.k.a. Supreme, he is on his way to becoming a messiah in the new hip-hop mecca known as the ATL!
With a style he describes as “supreme” Ferguson has been nurturing a love affair with music since he was a percussionist in his sixth-grade band at Martin Luther King middle school in 1990. Being in the band fueled his desire to make music and when he heard his cousin – Sand Grady – was rapping he began to play around with writing his own lyrics. Then in 1993 when he heard 8Ball & MJG for the first time, Ferguson’s musical love affair was elevated to the realm of hip-hop along with his dreams of making it in the rap game.
It didn’t take long for him to team up with his cousin Grady and start developing his producer and rapping skills. But, it wasn’t until a fateful night at a local club that he was bit by the performing bug in his first live performance that got him hooked on hip-hop.
“I performed my first song at the Silver Fox in Bankhead,” he recalled. “It must have been in 1996. After that, I just knew that was what I wanted to do.”
From there, it was a wrap; Supreme was born and the Atlanta underground music scene was under assault. Supreme recalls performing at bowling allies, skating rings, public parks and any open-mic he could find because he loved it so much. When he wasn’t performing, he was cranking out the beats and tracks. Soon he picked up a couple of artist for hire contracts with 404 Music and Rock Me Right productions where he was paid to submit what he called “skeleton tracks,” which more established producers would alter to create tracks for their artists. This experience validated his promise as a burgeoning producer especially since Tony Mercedes and Reggie Rock of LaFace Records – two leading producers at the time – accepted most of his tracks. By this time, Supreme was a junior in high school and had put the band behind him to pursue his music career full time while working.
Around the late ‘90s into the 2000s, Supreme picked up a clique who formed a group called Hog Tyed that was bringing the fire and burning up the underground scene under the production team Triple O out of Garry Indiana. He credits them with giving the group their first real chance to show their skills after they were noticed while entertaining passengers on the subway in Atlanta. With Triple O’s Midwest style and that signature ATL swagger, audiences had trouble believing that the group was all Atlanta natives – which was a good thing. The exposure generated through their alliances with local club promoters and local fans led to opening credits where they opened for Roc-A-Fella in 2003 at the Georgia International Convention Center.
Although the group has been on hiatus for a couple of years, they produced a compilation CD in 2005 titled We Been Here that is still widely circulated on the internet and throughout the Southeast. The Hog Tyed clique also released the single So Fly that same year. In March of 2006, Supreme was invited to host a radio show which broadcasted on a local AM station. The show aired every Friday night from 10 pm to Midnight and was produced by ATLanta Movement Radio. The show was entitled Movement Radio. Shortly after Movement Radio, ATLanta Movement Radio left the local AM ‘circuit’ to infiltrate the World Wide Web. Now, in its second straight year, Supreme has blessed audiences with his personality and style and truly placed his signature on cyberspace as the host of the show called Supreme Saturdays.
Now, as a solo artist, Supreme is busy working on his debut CD and being a husband and father to his three boys (9, 4, and 2-years-old) who he says are blessings that keep him grounded within his musical pursuits. Still, his dreams sour towards one day sitting at a boardroom table interviewing the next hot artists for his own label. He says he also aspires to work with T-Pain, Andre 3000 and Rick Ross, who all represent the southern hip-hop that helped inspire his dreams. Supreme is also scheduled as a featured artist at the 2008 Atlantis Music Conference (Sept. 17-20) in Atlanta where he will be ripping the mic at the Apache Café and showing why his skills are SUPREME!

Press Park would only offer the same environment being so close to one of the city’s most notorious projects. The Desire was known for some of the city’s most violent crimes, and that’s where they would get their first taste of rap music. Doe’ja was introduced to the hip hop culture by his big brother E-Mac which helped him expose his self in Grambling, LA doing shows at various clubs with artist like UNLV, B.G. and U.G.K. Being heavily influenced by artist like Scarface, pac, LL Cool J, and I Cube, Doe’ja would have his first experience in hip hop in at the New Orleans World Fair.
