What's up ya'll? NateKid here. (Pronounced Naked.) It's been a while since we hit you with an update- so here goes...                            If you're wondering why we've been outta touch for a minute, it's because some exciting stuff has been going on. As we began to brave the world of the music biz with airplay on XM satellite radio, 93.9 and WOR some other opportunities revealed themselves to us almost immediately. A couple of young and influential Broadway and major motion picture producers approached us after falling in love with the music. Very soon after we were creating a movie musical using this fusion of music as a home base. J Bean and I suddenly had our long-term dreams staring us in the face. Bean, being the creative genius she is, went to work on a treatment and a screenplay skillfully crafting a fantastic story around the music. Utilizing her days in writer development, she wrote me a wonderful role, while letting me put in my two cents. We have been offered incredible deals for the project by various producers/studios and now it’s finally coming to fruition.... n its due in large part to Bean’s amazing and snow-balling reputation as one of the premier producers in the city. She left her day job as the coordinating producer of “As the World Turns” in order to concentrate on Broadway shows and film.  Her movie roster includes “See You in September” (directed by Tamara Tunie from As the World Turns, Broadway, and Law and Order SVU, etc) “Lonely Street” (Starring Jay Mohr and Robert Patrick) and our movie “HARLEM”  She has surrounded herself with some of the most successful and influential people in the bid’ness.  She’s knocking down all the stage awards this year from producing “Spring Awakening” and “Legally Blonde.”  Next stop the Academy Awards and the Grammy’s!

Our music, as some of you already know, was being played at AMC theaters in addition to 3,500 independent movie theaters throughout the country. That's millions of hits in one month my fellow music lovers.While the Jenn and her partners are doing their thing I'm busy trying to sharpen and develop myself as an artist...            I’m working on music constantly…this year I completed two albums- the first was a Song writing project called “Shades of Gray” or “The Empire Jones Project” where a Joe Ferrante and L*A*W and I produced different songs in various genres across the board. The most recent album is a second installment of the evolution of the American Standard by fusing it with hip-hop.  JaFunK “rEvolution” was made because the first jaFunK album is reserved for our movie “HARLEM.”            So when I am not making music I am doing a number of things to “be the best I can be” such as practicing piano, taking comedy, gymnastic, and various dance classes- (including tap, hip hop, salsa and ballet)... I’m lovin' it...I'm also reconnecting with my acting roots and training with reoccurring roles on soap operas and such...Getting ready for this opportunity of a lifetime! In the next update we'll give you the low down on our performances coming up- big and small.  Its looks like there will be some concert brewing in August.    Thanks for the support ya’ll.  NATEKid
