I got a chance to talk with Tomas from TE Talk about the Velocity Awards, Barbados Music Awards, and some upcoming projects I’m working on.  Tomas is an artist, record producer, and a good friend (he suggested that I submit for the Outmusic Awards:) Listen and enjoy:)

Chase Von: Nhojj, this is a true pleasure! So on behalf of the Student Operated Press and myself I really want to thank you! When I got that music gift from you I figured why not ask him for an interview? Worst case scenario he’s too busy, so I was pleasantly surprised when you wrote back and said let’s do it! So again thanks for sharing yourself with our readers!

Nhojj: Thank you so much for extending the invitation – things have been really busy this year with the release of the new disc Soul Comfort but this has always been my dream, so I’m counting my blessings.

Chase Von: You’ve led a very interesting life! Growing up in Guyana and then moving to Trinidad and Tobago before making your way to the U.S. and New York. I’ve read your father was a Minister and you began singing in church at the mere age of six with your sister also playing the organ as well! And that you were appearing on radio stations and eventually even performed for the presidents of Guyana and Trinidad!

Its one of those songs that wrote itself. I sat on the bathroom floor in my apartment in Staten Island and this song just flowed. In about 15 minutes it was done. Enjoy:)
