So many reasons to celebrate: Mo Audio turns 1

Posted by on in Connections, Events, RecapLeave a comment

One week ago today, Mo Audio celebrated its first birthday. Our guest was soul and R&B singer Donnie, whose critically acclaimed album The Colored Section broke the mold for what modern soul should sound like.

Donnie’s an amazing artist. And he’s just one of the amazing artists we’ve had the pleasure of talking to on our show over the past year.

I am so thankful for the opportunity to work with my co-hosts, Carlton Hargro and Larmarrous Shirley. We had a podcast together years ago when Carlton and I were colleagues at Creative Loafing. Here’s a throwback shot from one of our sessions. We used to record at Harlem Bar, now BQE Lounge, off Edgewood Avenue.

It’s really something how things come full circle. Now, instead of being underwritten by our local newsweekly, Carlton and Larmarrous have Slo Mo, a publication dedicated to all things soul music, to support our weekly broadcast.

I frequent Edgewood Avenue — including what I think will be a fun summer with DJ Tabone‘s Kool School Sundays at BQE.

Then there’s the connection with Jabari Graham, with whom I first crossed paths via Art Beats & Lyrics. Plus, he was friends with Dubelyoo, and we had North Carolina in common.

J’s the reason we have our show now, being the founder of AB+L Radio. And AB+L Radio was recently awarded a Best of Atlanta Award by Creative Loafing.

I am truly blessed to have such talented, striving, inspiring visionaries in my life. They make my life substantial. They make me feel like I’m a part of something special. Because they all certainly are. I love you guys. Thank you for everything.

Listen in! Mo Audio launches today on AB+L Radio

Mo Audio launches on AB+L Radio

ChanteSez … there’s always room for Mo Audio. Starting today — and featuring yours truly, along with Carlton Hargro and DJ Larmarrous — the show airs on AB+L Radio at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

I’m excited. I’ve always had a love for radio, as you may have read. And this is such a good opportunity to be a part of the answer to commercial radio. Not to mention that AB+L Radio is headed up by Jabari Graham, whose vision and hustle is infinitely respect-worthy.

The show is presented by Slo Mo magazine, and just like that publication’s principles, Carlton and Larmarrous, it is quite funny. Listeners will be informed in between the laughs, though.

This week’s interview is with Charles Judson, who’d held down the Atlanta Film Festival artistic director position for seven years until recently. Now he’s making moves on his own, with Observe Imagine Create, a film and creative consulting firm.

The music is a main course in itself. You will definitely jam to DJ Larmarrous’ track selection. The Stepkids’ cover of Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” is one of many highlights.

So check it out, Wednesdays at 10 and 6. Download the app for your iOS or Android, then listen in at the designated place, at the designated time, so we don’t have to gladly designate yo’ ass!
