The @Singersroom Meet & Greet with @Lloyd_YG
I was thrilled when I learned that I had won a contest by Singersroom.com to be one of 25 people invited to attend a private meet & greet with R&B artist Lloyd. I’ve always liked Lloyd’s music and “You” from his second album, Street Love, is easily one of my top 25 favorite songs.
It was great to learn that Lloyd was a very down-to-earth, sociable, genuine guy with a good head on his shoulders. As soon as he came in, he began introducing himself and chit-chatting with each person in the room. He took his time, asking questions and learning a bit about everyone. Then he spoke to us about his challenges with staying focused and the importance of maintaining integrity and fighting your fears and doubts.
Interesting Lloyd facts:
- Frank Sinatra is one if his top 5 favorite artists
- He’d love to have a child by the time he’s 30
- Shakira is his favorite female artist
- He always brings family on tour with him so he never gets lonely on the road
- He’s over all the questions about Irv Gotti

I’ve never heard that name before, Lloyd tells me. Yeah I get that a lot!

@Singersroom Acoustic Conversation with Tyrese
In late August, I had an Acoustic Conversation with R&B artist Joe. Last week, in the latest installment of this very up-close and personal event by Singersroom.com, we were serenaded by none other than Tyrese!After learning that we’d be “conversing” with Tyrese, I don’t think I could have hit send any quicker on my RSVP. Tyrese’s music has been the melodic background to many a moment in my life since his debut album, Tyrese, in 1998. And even before he became a solo artist, who could forget him in the Coca-Cola commercial that launched his career? Now, Tyrese has crossed over from R&B artist to mainstream actor, in movies like Baby Boy and, most recently, Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
Just in case you were wondering–Tyrese’s pearly whites and chocolate-tone skin are just as scrumptious in the flesh as on the big screen! People peered in through the windows from outside BoConcept, where the event was held, just to get a glimpse of the artist. And inside, many hearts were fluttering–especially as he performed one of his biggest hits, Sweet Lady. During the Q&A session, we got a glimpse of Tyrese’s charming, confident personality.
But wait, we don’t have to keep hitting rewind on our old favorites from Tyrese…November 1, 2011 is the release date for Open Invitation–his first album in 7 years! Click here to see his new video from the album, Stay.
