    A. During my journey I made some huge leaps of faith creating a women’s empowerment group on Facebook, starting my online boutique store, becoming a vendor at fashion shows, my store being featured in fashion shows and becoming a personal stylist.

How do we give thanks to God for creating us? By doing the necessary things to make sure we are in the best condition possible.

    Interview with Fuller French

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. Tell everyone more about who Fuller French is?

    A. Fuller French is a lover of life, somebody who believes there is romance in everything good in the world… and sometimes just a guy from West Texas who plays the piano. I am passionate about everything I undertake; I enjoy creating, learning, living and loving. As a musician, the best thing for me is creating new music that contains plenty of love and romance that hopefully will be heard by many people throughout the world. I’m interested in creating things of substance and beauty. When I was younger, I wanted to create rough, rock and roll bits of music but now I have settled into my own style which is beautiful and dreamy.

    Q. What inspired you to become a singer/songwriter?

    A. I felt a volcano of creativity and ideas that I wanted to share things I wanted to say with the piano. I had an outlet to write lyrics and music and do just that. I took piano lessons from first grade to seventh grade but after that never formally studied again. When I went to boarding school, piano was an escape for me. In college I really went full throttle creating songs, and I began the tune that eventually became my first hit Brazilian Sunrise. The rest is history.

    Q. What do you consider as one of your best life experiences or accomplishments?

    A. I’m a work in progress and that event is yet to come. That said, raising my three children has been the best life experiences anyone could ever imagine: there is nothing that compares to raising them and watching them grow up. There is a love there that is beyond anything else in the world.

    Interview with Hashim Lafond

    Interview with Kissa Jo

    By: Where It Begins

    Quote “I love to create so most of my hobbies are doing just that. I make dream catchers, waist beads, and paint but I’m most passionate about acting and producing shows and films.”

    Q. Tell us more about Kissa Jo?

    A. I am a goddess that believes my purpose is to spread love and healing through tantra, dancing, and music. I’m all about love and light and sharing my journey to complete self-love (my light and darkness) with those in need.

    Q. What or who influenced you to get into music?

    A. I’ve wanted to do music since I was a little girl. I think my biggest influences would have to be my 2 first loves: My daddy and Michael Jackson. My father has a beautiful voice and sings with a group in church. When I would hear or watch them perform, I would be In heaven.

    Q. Tell us about your EP (Therapy)?

    A. My EP Therapy is a kind of road map of my healing. From losing control and falling into temptation, in the first song Dangerous, to the last song Feels Like Love, where I finally love myself and can have a healthy love with others; therapy is a love story with myself.

    One last thing I would like to add in these times of uncertainty is to be gentle and loving with yourself and others. Love will always win. Breathe through it and know you’ll be ok.

    Interview with Introducing Ascended Man: Scott Howard

    By: Where It Begins

    Q. Tell us more of who Scott Howard is?

    A. The Soul Spark known as Scott Howard is a 3D being on a journey of ascension to 5D. About 5 years ago, I went through an awakening of sorts. Source & my Angels felt it was time to take off the training wheels and enlightened me to what was behind the curtain of OZ. I thought I was going crazy, but I discovered that EVERYTHING IS ALIVE… even the air we breathe…we are NEVER alone. I guess I am what you would call a ‘lightworker’ for a lack of a better term. It was made clear to me that I was to bring a new genre of music to the world as it was in great need. This music is called ‘source music’ and is played at 432 Hz. I am one that has seen & been through a lot of pain being a Capricorn. We are the low man on the totem pole and do best at night (most musicians do!), My son Maxx was taken from me 2 years ago which devastated me. I locked myself in my studio for 2 weeks and wrote my next 2 albums. In general, I get very little sleep and write constantly. I feel the music is probably channeled from the Angelic realm. However, I was told by a well-known psychic that my spirit guides are Nickola Tesla and John Lennon…what better company? I guess that is why my new album “The Language of Clouds” would resonate with The Beatles Nickola Tesla enthusiasts given that my music is at 432 Hz which raises the frequency of the listeners. My vibration has gone up and I seem to be more psychic as I see things I have never seen before…some good and some bad… but all in all, I’m ready to help raise the frequency of the world.

    Q. What do you consider your best life experience or accomplishment?

    A. The birth of my two children: my son who is gone, Maxx, and my daughter Alyx, and meeting my soulmate and wife Debbie, and writing Source music in 432 that seems to resonate with the world.

    Q. Where do you see your career in the next 5 years?

    A. In the next five years I plan on extensively touring for both live performances and radio throughout the world. I will write, teach, heal, continue to learn from my angels, love my family, and live a fulfilling 5D life… perform and bring light to where there is darkness…Be light!

    Q. Is there anything else you’d like to add?

    A. What is happening in our world is all about good and evil and economics. The evil that has operated under the public’s general consciousness has stolen more than you can imagine but will reveal itself soon enough… then the healing will need to happen. As the atrocities and crimes are beyond comprehension, I hope my music in 432 Hz will help increase the hope and frequency for as many as possible. Let us be the driving force to bring heaven to earth…be light.

    Interview with M.O Littles

    By: Where It Begins

     

    Q. Tell us more about who M.O. Littles the Hip-Hop artist from Toronto is?

    A. I am a Toronto based, Hip-Hop artist who has been lucky enough to perform my music in over countries around the world. I’ve also had the opportunity to do shows and be on songs with the likes of Machine Gun Kelly, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Merkules, Madchild and Celph Titled & Apathy, to name a few.

    Q. What or who influenced you to get into music?

    A. The first time I heard Hip-Hop music was Maestro Fresh Wes’ “Drop the Needle” when I was 10 years old. That was a defining moment in my life and started me on a lifelong pursuit. I’ve had many influences throughout my years of making music, however, Tupac was the biggest during my formative years.

    Q. How is the music in Toronto different from the U.S. music?

    A. The music, itself, in Toronto isn’t all that much different than the U.S. because of the internet, we all get instant access to new music so things that are trending in the U.S., or anywhere else in the world, are simultaneously happening here as well. That being said, artists who aren’t necessarily following trends and creating music that is more based in their reality, can definitely come up with their own sound.

    Q. What are some of your other hobbies?

    A. I’ve always been into photography and have been working a lot more on it recently.

    Q. What is one of your best experiences or accomplishments you had being an artist?

    A. The greatest moments, as an artist, are always receiving messages from fans saying that my music has helped them in some way. Nothing is more rewarding.
