Events
Vudoo Soul is one of the most amazing R&B and soul singers hustling out in the music industry today. He has an expansive vocal range, he writes and produces all of his music, and he knows how to break it down in front of a live audience with his keyboard at his side.
The first time I saw Vudoo perform live was at the Imagine Asian TV launch party, which Russell Simmons of Def Jam attended as well. When I saw Russell Simmons jaw drop on a Vudoo belt, I knew this guy was someone I had to keep an eye out for. I booked him for a national event to perform in front of a 1,000 people, and the audience’s reaction was the same as Russell Simmons - jaws dropped. It was a very successful event and I owe him a lot of credit for that success. Vudoo and Obnoxious Listeners have become good friends over the years as a result and he was gracious to give us his undivided attention for a chat about his music career and how he got started.
The interview is organized in the following fashion:
- Introduction: Lover Come Over
- Getting noticed by looking for opportunities and putting yourself in opportunistic places
- Going to school at MIT, a place which is not the start for many known musicians
- Explaining your artistic career choice to a set of Asian American parents
- Finding success and giving back
- The presence of doubt and skepticism when things aren’t going as planned
- Leveraging local opportunities when money is scarce and using the internet for self-marketing
- Conclusion: Ready For Love, Ready For You
