It didn't take long for neo-soul singer Thesis to win me over when she stopped by the office late last week for an interview. I knew I liked her when she told me that she started at age 15 in a singing group that was trying to be just like En Vogue (outfits and all). I liked her even more when began talking about her love of Ella Fitzgerald's music. But what really left a lasting impression in my mind was the clear sense of pride and excitement that shows up on Thesis' face when she begins talking about her current solo project. Take the time to go see Thesis perform this Friday at the Gypsy Tea Room as part of the Final Friday showcase.

I would like to say how great it feels to be in your close-knit circle of friends. Thesis is such a good person as well as a extremely talented person. Always remember that what God gave you the world can't take it away. I truly believe it's your Destiny to make it. Much love and Respect..
