I would like to introduce a great friend of mine who is quickly becoming a very well know hip hop artist…he is going on tour with Snoop Dogg this summer! His stage name is Kosha Dillz, but his real name is Rami. I am not sure which is bigger, his talent or his heart. He is willing to help anyone, including 3 helpless kitties. Kosha is Jewish and chooses to only eat Kosha brand meats. One of the things that can be difficult as an artist of any type, is finding people to believe in you and what you can offer the world. A lot of people who do really well in show biz have agents or record companies promoting them. Kosha has done all of it by himself with the support of friends and family. If you are into hip hop, I suggest you check him out. He is FRESH! I have photographed two of his shows as well as one amazing portrait session at Saltair. Jon Woodbury was kind enough to come along and assist as well as shoot with me-the results are awesome. To check out more of Kosha go here. To see Jon’s photos from the shoot go here. I am about ready to tell you the coolest part about this post…are you ready? REALLY? You really have to watch the slideshow because the song in the slideshow is one that Kosha wrote just for ME! I LOVE IT. Enjoy!
Another group that will blow up soon! Don’t take my word for it, read here. The boys’ first album is slated to be released this summer and RCA is going to use some of my pictures to promote it! These guys are going to kill it! Check out their website here.
I am excited to post this slideshow of an event I photographed last July. (Yes…I am really behind!) The event was sponsored by IEA and was held at The Grand America Hotel. It was a scholarship awards banquet with Coach Jim Boylen of the University of Utah Men’s Basketball Team as speaker and presenter. I added just a few highlights from the event, and look forward to photographing it again this year!
It has been a while since I have posted anything. It is not because I don’t have any work to post, nay it is quite the contrary. I have been running like crazy since January. I just wanted to share some exciting news here on the blog with a promise that there is a whole lot more to come!
I was able to shoot photos of 2 AM Club at The Sundance Film Festival while on assignment for Utah Styleliste Magazine. I had about 10 minutes backstage to take their pictures, and I am pleased to announce that RCA (their record label) has purchased all of the photos! These boys are super talented, educated and extremely un-jaded. We were able to hang out with them the next night and had a great time because they were so down to earth. I think they are going to be huge. Their first album is slated to be released in the spring. Check out the RCA homepage and 2 AM Club is the first artist listed.
