Brown and Gilbert have a new member, Arin Jackson, who they say reminds them a great deal of Maxwell, not only in terms as her talent but also her mannerisms and personality. Jackson, for her part, said she’s thrilled to be a part of Brownstone. “I get a rare opportunity you don’t get in this industry to learn from the living legend Nicci Gilbert, and on the other side of me I have what I consider the most talented woman in the world, Teisha Lott Brown,” Jackson said. “And I get to bring my talent and my showmanship to this group to blend and to keep Brownstone’s legacy alive.” 

The trio are dedicated to putting out stellar R&B. Brown pointed out how popular ’90s groups continue to resonate with audiences through “old skool” tours that are making the rounds. Gilbert said that’s one of the reasons you see their contemporaries, like SWV and Xscape, also making new music. “We’ve come to a place where things are so hard that people are looking to lean on really talented people and great songs and great music, because I think it speaks a universal language,” she said. Jones made history being nominated for a Grammy. 

In 2019 Brownstone took the stage by storm and had the honor of performing at The Essence Festival’s 25th Anniversary which also marked Brownstone’s 25th Anniversary and that same year they also performed on BET’s Her LIVE Project. Since getting back on stage June 2019 and getting back to what they love and continuing the legacy started for Brownstone by Michael Jackson signing them and giving Brownstone the platform to gift the world with their talent; Don’t miss this Brownstone Experience coming to a stage near you!

Back on the scene – and topping the charts – the singing/song writing talent, Cassandra Lucas.  Cassandra is best known as one-half of the 90's platinum-selling R&B vocal duo Changing Faces, who gave us hits such as “Foolin' Around,” “Stroke You Up” and “G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T.”  Their debut self-titled CD hit #1 on the Billboard R&B charts, and throughout their notable career, they sold millions of records, with 3 singles in the Top Ten on the Billboard charts, rare for a vocal duo. 

She's returned in 2019 with her new, self-penned single, “Name On It,” which reached Top 20 on the Billboard Urban Adult Contemporary chart, bringing something new to her older fans and introducing her to large numbers of new fans.  It's a ballad of the type that's been missing in R&B music lately.  This graduate of the “Fame” high school in New York, who hails from East Harlem, will release her debut solo CD in Spring 2019, titled “Long Way Home,” on CRC Musik.

The Uptown story starts with its founding in 1986 via a $75,000 deal with MCA for a compilation album and effectively ends with Andre exiting to run Motown Records with a contract worth millions. Jimmy Jenkins, also known as Jimmy Luvs or “JLuvs”, had previously been the Vice President of Uptown Records alongside Andre’ Harrell.

The blueprint was Uptown. Without him, the spirit of the party ain’t go be the same because through any tragedy or anything we always party. That’s how we grieve, that’s how we celebrated, and that’s how we love.”

Born in Columbus, Georgia, where he started playing guitar and drums at the age of 12, Walter “Mucho” Scott’s big break came in 1988 when opening up for Guy in Columbus Georgia. As a member of The Basic Black Band, Mucho and his fellow band members were asked by Gene Griffin to travel to New York to play behind the R&B group, Today, who was on tour with Teddy Riley and Guy. Basic Black, an integral part of the New Jack Swing era, soon after recorded a single on the Sounds of New York label, and was later picked up by Motown Records, where Mucho served as a songwriter and producer, in addition to being a vocalist and musician in the band. Basic Black had hits such as “Special Kind of Fool” and “She’s Mine” which garnered huge airplay in the early 1990s.   

Basic Black was later dismantled, with its members pursuing various musical projects, and Mucho moved to Virginia Beach to join forces with Teddy Riley, where he produced hits for MC Lyte, Blackstreet, Guy, Queen Latifah, Mary J. Blige, LL Cool J, SWV, Big Bub, Gerald Levert, Amerie, and the incomparable Michael Jackson. Mucho has been called the “King of Remixes,” with remixes for Patti LaBelle and Keith Sweat, in addition to the artists above. 

While in Virginia, Mucho also wrote and produced songs for his new group, 911, where he served as one of the groups vocalists.  Over the years, Mucho has continued to write and produce hit music in Atlanta, and is now releasing his electrifying single, “Mary” which has garnered musical acclaim in the Pop genre.

Chosen “the way you smiled during the performance, it felt like you were really present in the moment.” In our brightest moment, sometimes we are facing our greatest challenge.  

With 12,000,000 people watching JChosen perform before the world, his heart & mind was focused on Albany, Georgia. JChosen’s mother was in the fight of her life. JChosen mother was hospitalized with a severe stroke and his moment was now “her” moment. JChosen knew his performance had to register as EPIC, to overcome the mental tragedy roving through his mind.

The Darkchild instinctively knows how to showcase the best attributes of each artist that he works with. CEO of his Darkchild Productions, Inc., Jerkins has been responsible, through his numerous hit productions, for over 170 million in record sales worldwide.  Born the youngest son of a minister father and choir director mother in Pleasantville, New Jersey in 1977, Jerkins began taking classical piano lessons as a child and combined that with the gospel music that he heard in church. Rodney's God‐given gifts quickly blossomed, as the young phenomenon diligently worked on his music and began recording demos for local talent.  When New Jack Swing's Teddy Riley came across one of those early demos and opened the first door, Rodney's career took off like a rocket. 

Subsequently, his first professional writing and producing job came in 1994, for an artist named Casserine and at the tender age of 15, he and his brother, Fred Jerkins III, wrote and produced his gospel rap album, "On The Move." Since that time and continuously into present day, the Jerkins discography reads like a Who's Who of Hit Music.  In 1997, Jerkins continued his ascent to legend status by working with Mary J. Blige; he co‐wrote, arranged and produced five songs for her four‐time platinum CD, "Share My World," including the hit single "I Can Love You." That year, Billboard magazine touted him as one of the hottest R&B producers in the country, and again bestowed that moniker on him in 1999. He re‐teamed with Blige in 2006, with his production of her huge hit, "Enough Cryin," from her record‐setting CD, "The Breakthrough."   

Rodney's 2006 production of Beyoncé’s Number One smash "Deja Vu," dominated the airwaves and garnered him another Grammy nod in the process. A testament to its greatness and his genius, the perennial, memorable tune was highlighted during Beyoncé’s 2008 Grammy Awards telecast performance.  Happily married to Lifestyle Music artist, Joy Enriquez, Rodney is also the father of four children, Rodney David Jerkins III, Heavenly Joy, Hannah Joy and Royal David Jerkins in Los Angeles. Jerkins also produced her latest Contemporary Christian album and debut of his Christian label, Lifestyle Music, titled “The Call” in partnership with Capitol Christian. He says "this is what the world needs right now, and we are happy to be the ones that God is using to deliver it."   

A devout Christian with strong moral values, Rodney has not forgotten his roots in the church, nor does he compromise in order to conform to today's music landscape; instead, he consistently uses his myriad talents to shape ground-breaking music on his own terms.  

Recently, Rodney has completed work on Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Jessi J, Justin Bieber, Ciara, Keyshia Cole, Alicia Keys, and Sam Smith.

LeAnne “Lelee” Lyons is a Bronx, NY native who currently resides in Atlanta, Ga. As a young girl, and mother of two by the age of 17, Lelee was determined to change the way people looked at her. Feeling like a failure and disappointment to her mother, “I wanted to do something in my life that would make everybody forget about my failures", Lelee said—and that she did.  Website: https://leleelyons.com/"I Regret The Day I Lost My Virginity..."

In 1992, Lelee became the visionary behind the 3x platinum,  Grammy-nominated supergroup we know today as Sisters With Voices (SWV). Along with her group members, Cheryl “Coko” Gamble,and Tamara “Taj” George, the trio went on to sell almost 30 million records to date, with songs like: "Weak", "Right Here", and  "I'm So Into You" just to name a few. But, with all the accomplishments, notoriety, and monetary blessings achieved in the entertainment industry, Lelee still felt empty and unfulfilled.

After realizing the real blessing would be in blessing others through her life experiences and pain, Lelee would dedicate her life bringing awareness to “Teen Pregnancy Prevention”, “Domestic Violence”, and Child Sexual Abuse—all of which she experienced as a young girl. "Music literally saved my life", Lelee says.  #LeleeLyons #SWV #SistersWithVoices

Her first single from the album, "The Things That You Do", was a success, peaking at number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, and number 12 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.   Thompson's second album, If You Only Knew, was set to be released on September 21, 1999 on Elektra Records through Missy Elliott's The Goldmind Inc. imprint.

Two singles were released in advance of the album's anticipated release date: "Ya Di Ya", featuring Elliott, peaked at number 38 on the R&B chart, while "Caught Up", featuring rapper Beanie Sigel, failed to chart. The album was shelved, and Thompson asked to be released from her contract. Thompson continued to perform as an independent artist, and began work on a third album in 2008.  #GinaThomspn #TheThingsThatYouDo #MusicIndustry

Le Flex produces 80s retro synthpop/nu-disco/soft house from London, UK. Le Flex spends much of his time tinkering with a time machine to return to the 80's. In between this he writes and produces sublime synthpop to make you dance, and ballads to tempt your inner lover. Le Flex started his music project to attract as many groups as possible. Instead, all he gets are DJs messaging him to collaborate on their half-finished ideas. He writes sublime synth-pop to make you dance, and ballads to tempt your inner lover. His new album is rumored to be able to heal the sick when they listen to it. #leflex #80smusic #leflexmusic

One of the most powerful interviews I ever had to do on Halftime Chat, I talk with L Jai Robinson, former lead singer of the RnB group, Profyle. We cover a range of topics from dishonest Managers, the control of record labels, the price of fame, dealing with Mental Illness as a recording artist, and finding peace away from the spotlight. As a Mental Health Psychotherapist I hope to help raise awareness of mental health by featuring interviews with 90s R&B artists sharing their personal stories overcoming mental illness. Featuring Donell Jones, Pamela Long and Kima from Total, Nitty Green from Riff, 112, L Jai from Proyfle and Mr Dalvin from Jodeci among others 🗣️🌏  #MentalHealth #BlackMentalHealthAwareness #HalftimeChat #PamelaLong #PamfromTotal #HalftimeChat #DonellJones #RnB #RnBPodcast #RnBMusic #SoulMusic #112 #Diddy #BadBoy #BadBoyRecords #DefJam #Biggie #OnlyYou
