Stress will do that to ya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish, though, that I had been writing more personal entries over the past months because there is no way, at this point, I could detail all the "traumas and dramas" I've been put through in these last few months. I can only sum things up in a few short paragraphs which I will try to do. &lt;br /&gt;But first I should say, I really wanted this blog to be a true representation of my journey both good and horrid, lol. I'm afraid though, that I let me ego get in the way of my honesty and it's kept me from writing things that I felt might hurt my "image" as a "disco diva" (whatever the hell that means!). But, I've grown quite a bit lately and I realize that I don't care anymore about living up to what I think peoples' idea of me is. I have to stay true to who I am and what I'm about. And no matter what industry I find myself breaking into..."It's never THAT deep" that I have to pretend to be something or somewhere I'm not just to save a little face....and I do mean little! The title of this blog is "Chronicles of a 'Rising' Diva". "Rising".....I had to remind myself of that. I'm still trying to make it happen for myself! I haven't gotten "there" yet and if I had, there would be no need for this blog, DUHZ!! Ah, Me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love that I've had some success in music and I love that I have entertained people across the planet and they have found enjoyment in what I have contributed to the industry. I hope to continue that;) I love and appreciate all the support that I have received thus far. Thank you. Thank All of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that being said, this is where I am today:&lt;br /&gt;Things with Mad Monk went awry. Besides having some artistic differences, there where just some fundamental issues that didn't allow me to feel comfortable moving forward with more projects with Monk. I wish them the very best and much success in the future. &lt;br /&gt;I'm still making music and will be involved in various projects scheduled to release in the coming months. (Details in future blogs)&lt;br /&gt;And guess what???....I'll also be chronicling my passage into the acting arena!!! Yes, I'm coming out as a "thespian" ....Don't tell my parents;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, please. Allow me to start over and share the real deal with all of you. It's not gonna be pretty sometimes, but it will be entertaining. I'll only use this space for personal, real life entries. No press releases and things of that nature...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So again, here's where I stand today:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Indie Artist (No longer with Mad Monk) collaborating with good friends in the music industry&lt;br /&gt;- Dusting off my resume and entering the acting world...fa reals this time!&lt;br /&gt;- Still strugglin to make it to the top.&lt;br /&gt;- Temporarily living in Fl (which I hate...no offense to Floridians)and gots to make the best of where I am now.&lt;br /&gt;- Not living off of my art...yet:( But hope to one day soon.&lt;br /&gt;-Appreciating my friends inside and outside of the industry for their love, loyalty, and support. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So where from here???...Follow me and lets find out together...oh and tell a friend.&lt;br /&gt;If we're not yet following each other on &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/ohshakai"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;, holla at me and we can keep up on the mini dramas in each others lives... fun:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;kiss, kiss, hug hug, little kiss, big hug, big kiss, little hug,&lt;br /&gt;Ohsha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/s/link-enhancer?tag=chronic-20&amp;amp;o=1" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;www.facebook.com/ohshakai

And, according to those DJ’s who’ve heard the track, is already is creating a stir because of its retro 70’s style vibe, (Beatnik Castle’s signature style), and, of course, the powerful soulful vocals of Ohsha Kai.

I've relocated from Philly a.k.a. "Illadelphia" to "HOTlanta". Definite upgrade in my opinion. Sorry Philly'ites, but ATL has better shopping, better restaraunts, cleaner air, nicer peeps, and TREES!!!!...BUT, no worries Philly. You still have your "Bell" =o)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Music is crazy! The "Best of 80's Dance Vol. 3" compilation is picking up steam, peeps. It has recently been released to iTunes so if you haven't downloaded the hottest dance compilation of the year,...you're LATE!!... snag it!:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Carol Hahn&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pepper MaShay&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jacinta&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Raquela&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rikah&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and more!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/best-80s-dance-vol-3-1-80s-dance-club/id345763078&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's due to release commercially in Feb 2010 w/ a FULL, all out promotion campaign! So excited to see how long the legs get on this lovely lady of a project;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I mentioned in an earlier post that I have been working on a full-length Pop album...(BIG SIGH) Well, life just likes to throw little twisties and turnies in the mix to keep a diva on her pointed toes. I do still plan to release a full length project and am currently working on it, but in lieu of unforeseen circumstances (i'm not even sure what that means), I had to switch my team up a bit. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Harry Towers of Deet Promotions recently introduced me to Quincy B. of Beatnik Castle (Mad Monk, LTC) Beatnik Castle ft Francillia has a massive track that is burning up the charts right now "Will U Be Mine". (Check out the video below). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Quincy B. is a phenominal musician and we've been stirring up the music pot a bit. Oooooo...things are starting to cook...I will keep you posted on the progression of thangs...All of you are in for quite a treat....That's all I can say right now.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, here's to an AMAZING 2010 for all of us HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  white-space: pre; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10px;"&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/z4yDeSCqla4&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/z4yDeSCqla4&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

Some of CAPP’s most commercially-successful and lasting releases continue to be popular songs from the 1980’s, reinterpreted with a fresh dance vibe. And coming this fall is an all-new compilation consisting of covers from some of the dance industry’s most beloved performers, including Pepper MaShay (whose Freeway of Love was just released as a single), Carol Hahn, Jacinta, Raquela, Dare 2B Dif’rnt, Ernest Kohl, and others, including perennial CAPP artists like Rikah, Fab, Cary August, DJ Cobra and more!&lt;br /&gt;And now, we’re pleased to announce the pre-release of a song to appear on the new compilation, a great new take on I Can’t Wait (originally from Nu Shooz), by none other than dance songstress Ohsha Kai!&lt;br /&gt;From her humble beginnings just a few short years ago (auditioning in her native Philadelphia for industry veterans Ron Hirsh, Harry Towers and Paulie D.), Kai has scored a pair of Billboard dance hits. Her track Free Your Mind hit #6 on the Club Chart, spending over three months in the normally quick-changing chart. And her second release, Out of My Mind, also hit the Top 10. After being raised in a home filled with the sounds of gospel greats like Vickey Winans and Shirley Ceasar, perhaps it was inevitable that Ohsha Kai would find her way to the spotlight!&lt;br /&gt;"I was tremendously excited to be a part of the project," Kai says of the moment CAPP president Dom Toulon asked if she’d be interested in participating. "Dom suggested I Can’t Wait, and I knew right away that it’d be a great song to honor with a dance cover."&lt;br /&gt;If you "can’t wait," download your digital promotional copy of I Can’t Wait today! Download links accompany this press release, or will be provided to working DJ’s on request.&lt;br /&gt;As always, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMOTIONAL SUPPORT, and all the best from San Francisco!&lt;br /&gt;The CAPP Records Team&lt;br /&gt;contact@capprecords.com&lt;br /&gt;Dom Toulon Harry Towers Loren Chidez&lt;br /&gt;Wes Bryant-King Radi Tamimi Brian Howe&lt;br /&gt;Michael Oliva Greg / Distinctive Promotions&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;www.facebook.com/ohshakai

Seems radio doesn't move quite as quickly and I'm just kind of wondering what's up with "I Can't Wait"??? (how fitting the title in this moment) I'm sure my freakout is premature but SO WHAT! I'm neurotic; which you'll learn to love, btw. What can I say?&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, yeah so, I haven't heard very much at this point...gulp!&lt;br /&gt;I've been googling my lil fingers off and I &lt;em&gt;have&lt;/em&gt; found some exciting tidbits; a few good reviews, my first dance radio add (yay, idanceradio.fm!!), some record chart "top pick" placements, a spot on a house compilation along with some maj' labe' artist like Pitbull, Mariah, Black Eyed Peas, Cascada, Lady Gaga..and ME????"I Can't Wait- Ohsha Kai vs Nu Shooz"!

In dance club world, a track could be on the Billboard breakout charts by now!!!

( I posted the Video from my first performance caught on my friend's cell phone (hi orlando)!!! EEK! Ya gotta start somewhere, right? (Watch it but BE NICE!) It hit #6 on the Billboard dance/club chart, Top 10 iTunes dance charts, Top 3 on Sirius satellite radio, and Top 10 on the world dance/ trance charts. Not a bad start! : ) About a year later I released a single called "Outta My Mind" (Act 2 Records). It also hit Top 10 on Billboard dance/club chart.&lt;br /&gt;Just as everything seemed like it was moving in the right direction and my career was about to take off, a wrench was tossed into the "weerrrkings"! As I was working on my 3rd single and full length album; my label closed it's doors and decided to go in a different direction in the business! So, there I was, no 3rd single; no album and my last single had been released damn near a year before!..Hmmmmm, ...well...ain't this "messy". And I have to admit I wasn't the best at keeping tabs on all of my industry contacts, so I felt lost for a moment and wasn't sure what to do at that point. I kinda figured that was it and I considered giving up my music career all together. (Gasp!) So I went under cover in corporate America for a hot min. You can laugh, but rent was due...HOLLA! But the lil' Diva inside me was singing out in a high C to be unleashed. All the while, a track I did with Capp Records in the midst of it all was brewing. Remembering this and feeling that it was going to be dropping soon, gave me that nudge I needed to rise up and be fiercer than ever!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that brings me to why I'm here right now. This Blog is to chronicle my attempt to go from here: a fairly obscure and budding artist who has been "stopped short" to Major Diva status! Well, ...a sweet Diva...with a lil spice of course;). I wanna share my journey, my triumphs and catastrophes; my opinions (I may get a little shady at times, but it's with love so,..it's ok;), my fears and revelations; my celebrations and tears. And I have lots of surprises in store for all of you (some things will even be a surprise to myself!...ahhemm,..err, anyway) I may Rise or I may Fall but either way you biatches are comin' with me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that you enjoy the ride as much as I do. The rebirth starts here: Capp Records just pre-released the cover of "I Can't Wait" by Nu Shooz that has been abrewin for a min. It started with this press release:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://docs.google.com/gview?a=v&amp;amp;pid=gmail&amp;amp;attid=0.1&amp;amp;thid=1234d24332bf670f&amp;amp;mt=application%2Fpdf&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure what's going to happen from here. I've been M.I.A from the music scene for almost 2 years now, but believe you me I have plans to come back Hotter than ever beehas!!!! Hahahaha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-b4d187742f13ad0c" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v3.nonxt4.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Db4d187742f13ad0c%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331450238%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D84956DF24E7F11FD8E3A0F4A10DD2744D532EB22.6BDEC277B393906996CADCB60F34FD367CD22BD4%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Db4d187742f13ad0c%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DFqljXiH0P2w5xlqR44BtCHJeh4M&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v3.nonxt4.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Db4d187742f13ad0c%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331450238%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D84956DF24E7F11FD8E3A0F4A10DD2744D532EB22.6BDEC277B393906996CADCB60F34FD367CD22BD4%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Db4d187742f13ad0c%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DFqljXiH0P2w5xlqR44BtCHJeh4M&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;www.facebook.com/ohshakai
