Her Journey To Now...A Blog: ATL LIVE ON THE PARK

ATL LIVE SEASON 6

Hi Peeps! You've been missed. I know it's only been a week, however, so much has happened! Initially, I was hoping to post my monthly fitness video, but due to technical difficulties....oh well, it'll be posted soon!!!!

Anywho...Last night I got to shoot ATL Live. To be honest, I don't know where I've been, because I had never heard of it until recently. It was brought to my attention via my good friend Dione, she's such a sweetheart & great supporter!! Hi Dione! Sending Love & Light your way!!! My apologies, I digress...So yea about last night...AMAZING!!!! I mean seriously! From the ambiance to the crowd to the talent, and the venue itself is beautiful! If you've never been to the Park Tavern at Piedmont Park on 10th st in Midtown, you need to go! The food looked delicious (I was busy "flashing" people, no time to eat)!

Really back to ATL Live...It has a supper club feel with a twist! I was surprised to see so many A-listers there. Last night's A-listers consisted of, Keshia Knight Pulliam (who was celebrating her birthday), Monyetta Shaw (Atlanta Exes), Tameka Foster (Atlanta Exes), Lyfe Jennings (artist), Bobby Valentino (artist), & the cast of 'For Better or Worse'. Yes ladies, Michael Jai White was there!!! Along with Tasha Smith's sister Sidra, whose vibe is so incredible!

The entire event was a don't miss! I enjoyed seeing everyone mix & mingle without restriction. Celebrities taking selfies with fans and themselves. The DJs were all great. I finally got to meet DJ LV, whom I was first made aware of when I saw his video Daddy, last year, which was inspired by Pharrell's song 'Happy'. If you haven't seen it you really should, it's inspiring & cute! Here's a link to it: https://youtu.be/kK7hez6F_X4 Enjoy! Don't go yet I have more about ATL Live!!!!

So here's a quick rundown of the entire evening from my point of view. First, there is plenty of parking and it's only $3 can't beat that! (well maybe you can, I parked free across the street beside the building...ONLY because I didn't want to have to fight my way out the parking lot afterwards) #nojudgement LOL!! Secondly, the venue is large and beautiful AND not smoky like most clubs! Thirdly, the entertainment is a crowd pleasure. You never know who will drop through and if the unknown artist will one day be your favorite mainstream artist! I hear Miguel was discovered at ATL Live!

Last night's features were Australian artist Olivia Escuyos, who was on NBC's The Voice, and one of my favorite's Virgin Islands' very own, Rock City! Both acts did an exceptional job! Olivia did covers by Beyonce & Alicia Keyes as well as an original song. She keep the crowd captivated by her sultry voice. So be on the look out for her!

The event was set afire when Rock City took the stage accompanied by Akon's DJ Benny D (who's outfit I could not take my eyes off of, unique & bold). Rock City, natives of St Thomas, is a powerhouse, consisting of brothers A.I & Uptown A.P., they are high energy and will give you a show. If you've never heard of Rock City, you have heard them...I'm sure of it!!! The brothers have written songs for Rihanna (Pour it Up, Man Down), Usher (I Don't Mind), Ciara (I Bet, I'm Out), Kelly Rowland (Kisses Down Low), and many others. And as they put it, "We don't plan to stop anytime soon". I so hope not! If I didn't have my camera I would have been bouncing with the crowd!!

Needless to say, you need to attend ATL Live's next show! Lyfe Jennings is set to perform there in June! Visit there website for event dates atlliveonthepark.com and follow them on Instagram @atllive_music.
