<p>Monday, August 29, 2022, was the first night of the Monday Night Football Manly Monday held at Cork and Thorn and hosted by <a contents="KUNV" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.kunv.org" target="_blank">KUNV</a> kicked off. I was the first person to perform for this series of events that will be happening. </p>
<p>We had so much fun, and my Honey Bees came out and supported us. I'll be performing again on September 26, 2022, so mark your calendars now. I will give you a warning that the music starts at 9 pm sharp and goes for only 45 minutes. </p>
<p>There is food, drinks, hookah, football, giveaways, and Live Jazz. So, be sure to get there before the music starts or come and watch the game and enjoy the music after.</p>
<p>Stay sweet and as you already know, I love you. Hugs </p>

To be honest with you, I really just didn't feel comfortable getting back out there when venues started opening up, but believe me, my heart was crying. I knew that when the time was right to start performing again it would come in like a whirlwind and just happen without warning. </p><p>Well, Saturday, August 27 will be my first real major performance for a very exciting event where I will be your Hostess as well as singing a few songs too. I'm so overjoyed with the response that I'm receiving from all of the tickets that have been purchased so far, and I can't wait to see everyones smiling faces. </p><p>Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your out pour of love and support. I couldn't do any of this without you. Come ready to enjoy a night filled with love, joy, and laughter. See you real soon, and as you already know, I love you!

I'm walking on cloud nine since August 15, 2022, when I found out that one of the songs from my <a contents="Heritage Blue CD " data-link-label="Let's Shop " data-link-type="page" href="/let-s-shop" target="_blank"><strong>Heritage Blue CD </strong></a>entitled "Love On The Brain" took the #1 spot on the <a contents="Canadian Teerex Radio's Hump Charts" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.teerexradioteerex.com" target="_blank">Canadian Teerex Radio's Hump Charts</a>. </p>
<p>So much has been happening in the last couple of months, that I can barely keep up to write about it. Lol So, "Love On The Brain" started climbing the charts about a month ago starting at 48, then to 20, then to 19, then to 7, then to 3, and finally to number 1. I can't express to you how excited this makes me feel coming from an artist that never really thought about climbing the music charts. I know it sounds strange, but it's true. I've had a another song to climb the charts as well last year and the song reached #4, which that too for me was a first, and I certainly didn't expect it. </p>
<p>So, as they say now that I've gotten a taste of this, I'll probably start to send my songs in to different radio stations with the hopes of getting new Habaka lovers and possibly hitting the charts too. I've worked hard over the years and I'm truly grateful that people from around the world are starting to hear my music. </p>
<p>The Heritage Blue CD was recorded in 2016, and released in the European market and not really pushed in the US. Now, can you see my excitement? I encourage you to go and get your copy of Heritage Blue, and if you already have it, then I encourage you to order the <a contents="Heritage Blue t-shirt" data-link-label="T-Shirt Store" data-link-type="page" href="/t-shirt-store" target="_blank"><strong>Heritage Blue t-shirt</strong></a>, it looks amazing a men and women. I'd like to say thank you to everyone that has supported my music journey thus far, and I could not have made it where I am today without your enthusiasm for my music, and thank you to Teerex Radio for pushing "Love On The Brain". Hugs </p>

<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60958/31436500592818f87efe6bdc6cc1aea0125ea554/original/juneteenth.gif/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.png" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" /></p>
<p>On June 18, 2022, I was the musical guest for a Family Day-Juneteenth Celebration in Las Vegas. The entire celebration was a huge success. I kicked it off by singing our black national anthem acapella "Lift Every Voice And Sing". (having all the attendees join in) and it was just heartwarming. What was most heartwarming was to see the children actually enjoying the music immensely. When the kids are dancing you are winning. Lol </p>
<p>The guest speaker gave words of encouragement from Kraig M. Smith after which brunch was served and the music began to fill the room. I'm excited to report that the event was filled with people of all races, and that's why we want equality for all. It's so rewarding to be able to share my gift with the world, touching lives and making it a better place to live in. </p>
<p>We've come a long way since slavery, but we still have a long way to go. The important thing is that we don't lose hope and keep striving to have FREEDOM for everyone. It felt good to be back on stage doing what I love to do. </p>
<p>I pray that everyone had an enjoyable Juneteenth and explained to your children the meaning of Juneteenth. Much love to you. Hugs </p>

<p>Yes, you have read the headline correctly, and on Thursday, June 9, 2022, <span style="color:#e74c3c;"><strong>I WAS HACKED! </strong></span></p>
<p>The moment it happens, you literally feel like you want to start crying, screaming, and kicking yourself in the butt. A million other thoughts run through your head and you start thinking about all of the extra steps you should have taken to be sure that you were absolutely communicating with your friend. </p>
<p>What threw me off guard is that when I did go to my friend's page to check and see if he in fact had a clothing line...he did have a clothing line with many photos posted of himself and other friends wearing his t-shirts, so I thought his account was legit. </p>
<p>So, the way it works is that once the hackers contact you with the message on IG, they have already hacked your friend's account and taken over their page. The moment you click on the link that they send you via text to your phone, (remember your phone number is on your IG account) it gives them direct access to your IG account and they immediately change your phone number and email address on your IG account. Once this happens you no longer are able to get back into the account and you no longer own it, they also turn on 2-way verification which is sent to them. </p>
<p>So, be sure to go to any IG accounts (habakamusic, habakakfj, habakashoneybees, honeybeevibrant) that you follow me on, and block and report those pages. I have tried to warn everyone imaginable by phone, text, email, posting on FB etcetera and now I'm writing a blog about it to make people aware. In my lifetime I've learned to stay calm so that I can remain focused on the challenge at hand. I'm excited because now I know that I'm growing to another level, and the old me can no longer tolerate the new me. Lol Hugs</p>

Well, I did receive them directly from him in an intimate setting with 7 people where we were given a tour of his incredible museum. </p>
<p>Life moves so quickly that I haven't even had a chance to really talk about it. I learned so much about magic and the myths that so many people are plagued with on the subject of magic, which I'm going to leave that discussion up for grabs to speak about it on my podcast. </p>
<p>I remember watching David Copperfield on TV when I was a little girl, but I never in all of my wildest dreams ever thought that I would be face to face with him almost like one on one, laughing with him, and he doing close up magic right before our eyes. </p>
<p>I will tell you that he is such a humble man, and what he has done with his success is just mind blowing. I'm eternally grateful to have been invited from The Prince of Magic himself "Mr. MonDre". </p>
<p>What a way to spend the night of Easter. Of course I'll let you know once the podcast is up, or perhaps you'll just have to drop your email and join my mailing list, to be the first to hear the whole story. </p>

<p>I'm so excited to share with you, as of today March 9th you are now looking at the Vice President and Social Media Manager for Radio Teerex in Montreal, Canada. If you had told me when I took the position on the airwaves with Habaka's Bee Hive less than a year ago, that I would now be at this point, I would have told you...NO way. </p>
<p>You never know what God has in store for you, if you just keep going, keep giving, keep planting seeds, keep loving, keep being faithful over little, keep believing, keep......my list could go on, and on. I'm forever grateful and I can't even imagine what else Big is coming, I just know that it is. </p>
<p>Thank you first of all to everyone that tunes into <a contents="Habaka's Bee Hive "Music, Sweet As Tupelo Honey"" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.teerexradioteerex.com" target="_blank">Habaka's Bee Hive "Music, Sweet As Tupelo Honey"</a> on Tuesday's 7:00PM PST/10PM EST. Continue to share with your friends and let's make it a popular radio show. I can't do it without you. </p>
<p>All I can say my Honey Bees is to keep striving for what you want in life, no matter what it is. As long as you are happy doing it, don't let anyone tell you, you can't. Believe in Yourself! </p>
<p>Much love to you all. Hugs </p>

<p>Well, for the last couple of weeks I have not aired on Canada's Biting Soul radio station Teerex Radio. Habaka's Bee Hive did air from the archives though. </p>
<p>I was so excited to actually listen to my show last night December 7th, because you know it's a lot different when your pulling up the music, and putting in the commercials, and adding the linear drops and so on. I must say that I truly enjoyed my own show. LOL</p>
<p>I'm happy to announce that I will be back on the air on December 14th, to play you some honeylicious Holiday music to get you in the Holiday Spirit! We've gone through a lot over the last couple of years, and I tell you, it still feels just a little bit strange. I'm happy that we can now get out and about more, even though I'm not totally convinced about being around too many people. </p>
<p>Be sure to drop me a line if you any specific Holiday song that you would like to hear. Just send me an email to habakasbeehive@gmail.com, and I'll try my best to get it on the air for you. </p>
<p>Stay sweet and I'll be looking forward to playing that Music, Sweet as Tupelo Honey.</p>Habaka tag:habakakfj.com,2005:Post/67516042021-09-20T01:35:40-07:002021-09-20T01:38:05-07:00GET THE BUZZ ON ANDREW FAZACKERLY<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60958/ada008cec0cf9d2f0a180091dbed8e8705f2cf4f/original/getthebuzzandrew.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>

<p>Honey Bees, on Sunday night May 23rd, I began feeling this unbearable pain in my lower back. Now mind you, I had done a new core workout on that Friday, and so I felt a little sore, but really didn't think anything about it. Well, I had an event (Sip & Shop) with my Created For Greatness team, and with all of the excitement I had to lift some equipment and move some things around. </p>
<p>I tell you, I didn't feel a thing and I actually felt great and needless to say the event "Sip & Shop" was a success! Fast forward to Monday morning and I couldn't move at all. The pain was unbearable and I started doing everything that I knew to ease the pain. Nothing was working and I even found myself at the hospital, having to call my next door neighbor to drive me there for fear I was going to faint. </p>
<p>They held us there until 4:00AM and they also ran every test there is to make sure my kidneys, heart, and other organs were functioning properly. Being a natural girl, I rarely get ill like that, and I rarely take prescription drugs. I was in so much pain that they gave me a shot of morphine and it did not help, it did help to make me sleep though I must say. Oh, I forgot to mention that before that, earlier in the day I went to this place called THE JOINT to see if I could get any relief there, and because I was so inflamed there was not much they could do either. </p>
<p>Fast forward again, I'm in the third week now and I'm doing much better and I'm able to get treatment from the chiropractor which has allowed me to be able to walk straight up again as long as I take it easy. I'm still feeling the pain, but it's bearable. So now what I'm doing is adding turmeric with a pinch of black pepper to my <a contents="Matrix " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://retail.totallifechanges.com/habaka/shopping/itemdetails?itemCode=MATRX-EN-S-ZZ&countryCode=US" target="_blank"><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><strong>Matrix </strong></span></a>morning smoothie, and it's helping to ease the pain as well (It comes in Vanilla or Chocolate, and is 100% vegan protein). I'm hopeful to be back to normal within the next couple of weeks, but I'd also like to warn my Honey Bees to please be mindful of how you bend down to pick up heavy items. (I knew this and I didn't do it, and now I'm paying the cost)</p>
<p>So, now I'm finding myself looking to buy a <a contents="patio swing " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RYTPNFK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=kayfosjac-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B08RYTPNFK&linkId=f95d2b2d954a9dc72a67ae8c950cb222" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#f1c40f;">patio swing </span></strong></a>(something that will be easy on my back) and I actually saw one on sale at Smith's for a great price, but I also saw another <a contents="patio swing" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RYTPNFK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=kayfosjac-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B08RYTPNFK&linkId=f95d2b2d954a9dc72a67ae8c950cb222" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#f1c40f;">patio swing</span></strong></a> of course from<a contents=" Amazon&nbsp;" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="<a%20target=%22_blank%22%20href=%22https://www.amazon.com/b?_encoding=UTF8&tag=kayfosjac-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=043d20f7379082f8f218d2eed8414dd3&camp=1789&creative=9325&node=1063306%22>25%20Top%20Patio%20Furniture%20Clearance%20</a>" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#f1c40f;"> </span></strong></a><a contents="Amazon&nbsp;&nbsp;" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RYTPNFK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=kayfosjac-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B08RYTPNFK&linkId=f95d2b2d954a9dc72a67ae8c950cb222" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#f1c40f;">Amazon</span></strong> </a>and I believe I'm going to get one that is on <a contents="Clearance" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RYTPNFK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=kayfosjac-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B08RYTPNFK&linkId=f95d2b2d954a9dc72a67ae8c950cb222" target="_blank"><span style="color:#f1c40f;"><strong>Clearance</strong></span></a> <span style="color:#f1c40f;">(click on link to see it)</span> and it cost $60 more, however, it does a lot more than the one I saw at Smith's. Are there any Honey Bee's out there that have a patio swing? Let me know. Hugs </p>

<p>It was unavoidable, following in the family’s footsteps as a singer/songwriter. Her grandfather Jeri Jackson was a pianist and promoter, grand mother Irene Jackson a dancer and her mother Mary Ann Jackson a dancer and jazz vocalist. Her own father Melvin Jackson was band leader to Bobby Bluebland for 10 years and saxophonist to BB King for more than a decade. Music was in Habaka Kfj 's blood. </p>
<p>Her early life was spent on tour with a carnival and aged 11 her mother declined an invitation for her child to join the legendary Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater... </p>
<p>. At the age of 13 Habaka spent three years in a psychiatric hospital; a major turning point in her life and faith. </p>
<p>Find out how this talented musician over came the feeling that she was ‘singing the devil’s music’ to now appreciating how the music she sings, has a message and how her faith, discovered aged 7, has never failed her, in her most revealing interview to date. </p>

I just want to say that my heart goes out to my friends and people all over the world that have lost loved ones to the Corona virus. Also, I want to express my opinion on this issue, and I say STOP telling people that it's just a cold. Perhaps for you it may not have been severe, however, for hundreds of thousands of people it was much more than that, and many of them died, many of them made it through with serious after effects. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Habaka is definitely in Sagittarius Season, and what better way to help celebrate her birthday that was on December 2nd, than to receive news two days before that the deal is sealed. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Habaka signs record deal for releases on UK label Expansion Records “Love Is Never Lost” is the first single release on the UK’s leading classic and new soul label Expansion Records, sung by the 2019 BMA (Black Music Awards) recipient of the “Best Female Jazz Vocalist” for Las Vegas, also known as The Panther of Cremona.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Expansion Records is the UK’s premier modern soul label for brand new music and reissues since 1986. The award winning label’s first releases in the 1980s were through Richard Searling and John Anderson from Soul Bowl Records in Kings Lynn. Ralph Tee joined in 1989, around the time Ronnie McNeir released his Life and Love album. Early success came with the singles Give Me The Sunshine by Leo’s Sunshipp and James King’s Memory. In 2008 Expansion Records joined forces with Jazz FM for joint venture label Jazz FM records, creating a series of compilations including The Sound of Jazz FM, The Soul of Smooth Jazz and Funky Sensation. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It's been long awaited and now it's finally here...stay tuned for updates, because the best is yet to come! </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">I always get excited, when I've thought about having something and then it actually manifests itself to me in a couple of days. Has that ever happened to you? </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Well, I was having my monthly chocolate craving :-) and as I was going through my emails; I came across one from <strong><a contents="Milene Jardine" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.milenejardine.com" target="_blank">Milene Jardine</a>. </strong>Now the story goes like this...Back in August 2018, I placed an order to <a contents="Milene Jardine Chocolatier" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.milenejardine.com" target="_blank">Milene Jardine Chocolatier</a> as a gift, and because it's so hot here in Las Vegas, when my chocolate arrived it was melted. I wasn't upset, because I knew I was taking a chance of it arriving melted. I put it in the freezer and it was just as delicious. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I received an email from <a contents="Milene Jardin" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.milenejardine.com" target="_blank"><strong>Milene Jardin</strong></a> asking how I liked the truffles and I told her that it arrived melted but that we still enjoyed it. So, last week I received Milene Jardine's newsletter, and I wrote to her saying how happy I was that she was doing Okay during our countries time of crisis.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">She responded and asked me if my mailing address was still the same. On Tuesday I received a nice FEDX gift box of chocolate truffles! </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"> It's always a pleasure to receive sweet gifts! Thank you <a contents="Milene Jardin" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.milenejardine.com" target="_blank">Milene Jardin</a>! <a contents="Music and Chocolate " data-link-label="MUSIC STORE " data-link-type="page" href="/music-store" target="_blank">Music and Chocolate </a>are the perfect match!

<p><span style="color:#f39c12;"><span class="font_xl"><strong>Hello my Honey Bees!</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><font color="#f39c12">At a time such as this that we are experiencing as the entire world tries to figure our way to being protected, the most important thing that I am thinking about is; how we can pull together as one in fighting this virus. It is imperative that we listen to what is being said across the world from health officials and the CDC. <a contents="(click for info)" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html" target="_blank">(click for info)</a> We want to make sure that we are also listening to a reliable source for information on how to handle this. </font></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><font color="#f39c12">One thing for sure, is we must </font></span><font color="#f39c12" size="3">emphasize the importance to our friends and loved ones that in stead of living in fear that we just follow the directions. For the first time in a long time, (at least in America) families are having to stay in the home together on a daily basis. Don't let this destroy your family but, let it bring everyone closer together. </font></p>
<p><font color="#f39c12" size="3">You may say how Habaka? Well, in my opinion we can do the following: </font></p>
<ul> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">Give one another the space each of us needs in order to have that me time. </font></li> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">You may want to think about things that you've always wanted to do, but never had the time to look into it. </font></li> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">Don't feel guilty to get some much needed SLEEP, that your body has been lacking for months. </font></li> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">Study whatever subject that your working towards to making you better at your craft. </font></li> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">Don't forget that you can go outside, but not be close together as before, but keeping your distance in your neighborhood, or if you live in the mountains, go and explore mother nature. </font></li> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">Do arts and crafts projects </font></li> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">Play games (keeping your distance of course) WAR GAMES A HARD NO! </font></li> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">Teach your kids how to pray and read more </font></li> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">Make sure everyone in the household is not in a depressive state-we are going to make it</font></li> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">Drink lots of water-CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH</font></li> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">Don't watch the NEWS every waking moment (it's not good for your health)</font></li> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">Stay positive and know that we will get through this </font></li> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">DON'T HANG OUT WHERE YOU SHOULDN'T BE </font></li> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">Check on your friends and family often</font></li> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">LAUGH, LIVE, AND LOVE ALOT</font></li> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">Exercise as a family or if your alone, then do it through your laptop and if you don't have one make it up</font></li> <li><font color="#f39c12" size="3">Dance </font></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="font_large"><span style="color:#f39c12;">Please add to this list! This list could go on and on, with so many things we can do to make this a more better experience. For instance, I haven't been regular with my BLOG or anything else for that matter, because I had just way too much on my plate, and couldn't keep up. To tell you the truth I was getting really stressed out with having so much to do as my own BOSS, with no help. </span></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><span style="color:#f39c12;">I myself am starting to feel much better as the days go by, because I'm getting the rest that I so desperately was lacking. The biggest thing to</span></span><span class="font_xl"><span style="color:#f39c12;"> </span></span><span class="font_regular"><font color="#f39c12" size="3">remember is not to PANIC, because we don't want FEAR to take over our MIND, BODY, and SOUL! If we let FEAR creep in, we will be doomed, and not much help to anyone. One thing I learned a long time ago in serving God and being quite is...that when things happen that you cannot change, take a deep breath and ride the wave, you will come out on top if you don't let FEAR be your guide. </font></span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular"><font color="#f39c12" size="3">Of course I too have taken a big loss in wages as an independent artist. However, I do believe in multiple streams of income and if you want to help me out in any way then, I can write a BLOG all about that! But I'm faithful that it will all work out one way or the other. Now is the time that we must tap into our super natural resources. If you don't believe in it, then perhaps you need to start. </font></span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular"><font color="#f39c12" size="3">On the bright side of things, just think we all still have the internet and can interact with one another on line, and so many other APPS that allow us to see one another face to face. Although we also need some down time from social media. Lol I'm praying for everyone all over the world, and as you know I have so many people that are dear to me in other countries. Let's just pull together and do the right thing, and preach it to everyone to stay safe, and above all LOVE ONE ANOTHER!!!! Show some compassion PEOPLE! </font></span></p>
<p><span class="font_regular"><font color="#f39c12" size="3">All of this is happening to the world for a reason. Embrace the moment and let's learn from it. Pray, Pray, Pray, Pray, Pray....(remember, you don't have to do it in public, or do good deeds for the world to know either, just be a good person, and help who you can by any means you can) </font></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font_regular"><font color="#f39c12" size="3">LOVE MY HONEY BEES!!! HUGS </font></span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Honey Bees! Today is December 29th, and all day I've been on an emotional rollercoaster. Tomorrow is December 30th, marks 5 years that my father Melvin Jackson made his transition. I really can't even believe that it's been 5 years already. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I'm missing his voice, his late night phone calls to me in Italy, watching him perform on stage, going out to eat his favorite breakfast (steak and eggs), laughing so hard till we cry, him asking me; "baby girl, have you lost your black mind"? </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">What I'm feeling is an explosion of joy, excitement, nervousness, sadness, grief, accomplishment, and determination. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Last night while scrolling through my<a contents=" Instagram page&nbsp;" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.instagram.com/habakamusic" target="_blank"> Instagram page </a> I ran across a post concerning the Black Music Association Of Arts awards for Las Vegas, and the young lady was saying how happy she is to have been nominated and congratulations to all of the artists that have been nominated. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">So of course I swiped left to look at the list that she posted, and low and behold my name is on the list for <a contents='"Best Female Jazz Artist"&nbsp;' data-link-label="" data-link-type="email" href="mailto:BMAVOTING@GMAIL.COM" target="_blank"><span style="color:#c0392b;"><strong>"Best Female Jazz Artist" </strong></span></a></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I'm over the moon to have been given the opportunity again this year. I know my dad is all in the midst of it.:-) and what better way for me to spend my day listening to his music, and thinking how grateful I am for being nominated for 2020! I miss you Daddy! Love your Baby Girl! #thelifeofavocalist #keepingthebluesalive </span></p>

It was notifying me that I had received a donation from someone who has been close to me for some time. She has seen my musical journey, my struggles, and my successes. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><font size="3">It doesn't matter the amount of the donation, but what does matter is that it was made.

Now when I say that I mean theres nothing like a Mother's or Father's love, if they were your main source of your umbilical cord connection. In other words; I'm speaking of who ever was responsible for nurturing you in love in any type of maternal or paternal kind of way. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Funny, for several months now, I've been feeling like I needed to be in the arms of my mother. It was such an over whelming feeling that I just couldn't seem to shake and I even found myself waking up in the night and sitting on my couch with the longing of just needing to lay eyes on her, even though I speak to her every other day. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Well, I tell you...the Universe has it's way of giving you what you're longing for in some way, form, or fashion. Here I am on St. Patrick's Day in the presence of my Mom.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><font size="3">As an only child, I grew up being a very independent woman and so, I said that to say that I also moved away from home at a the very early age of 18. With that I also started to travel quite a bit and so being away from my Mom and sometimes not seeing her for several years was not foreign to me. </font></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><font size="3">So fast forward back to this feeling of needing to see my mother, I learned that she too was longing to see me. The problem is, neither one of us made it clear on how we wanted to see one another to the Universe and as God would have it, my Mom ended up in the hospital having emergency surgery. That's not how we wanted to have to get together, but that is what brought us together again. </font></span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I'm grateful that my Mom is a warrior and she has bounced back as if nothing has happened once again. She did the same thing when the good Lord helped her to defeat cancer 11 years ago. We are both happy that our longing to see one another came to pass and we have some time to genuinely love on one another and to treasure the moment. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">We want to say THANK YOU to everyone that has been instrumental in her speedy recovery. We Love You! Hugs </span></p>

I can hardly believe that we are coming up on your 4th year since you made your transition, it seems like yesterday and frankly I still feel as if I'm dreaming. I do know that I miss you like crazy, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you in some form or fashion. We even had the same teeth and smile. Lol </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">One thing is for sure that, because I'm walking in your footsteps as an entertainer, being on my European Tour has helped me a great deal to cope with how I'm feeling about you not being here. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">God has allowed me to be tuned into all of the signs letting me know that you are ever so present with me even on the European Tour, so much that it has put a big smile on my face. You were such a funny man, and I learned that in your last days. We would laugh so hard until we cried, and it certainly made me aware of where my comedian side came from.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Why, just last night at Porky's Blues Club, I was given the room number 111, which is your Birthday November 1st, :-) along with a number of other incidents that was without a doubt it was you. I miss you Mr. Jackson, and I thank the Lord for letting this time be easy on my heart with the signs and wonders of you being so far yet so near. Where has the time gone?</span></p>

Habaka first opened for Dee-Dee Bridgewater in Bordighera, Italy, with the gospel group the Burning Bush. From there Habaka went on to minister and teach gospel throughout Europe for 20 years. Habaka taught and directed her Italian choir "The Free Voices" for 10 years, ministering in some of the most historical Abbey's and Cathedrals through out Europe. Habaka, was the first artist ever to be invited twice to minister in song for the Jubil Music conference in Italy at the Ariston Theater. Now, returning back home to the USA, Habaka will still continue to share her love for the gospel, spreading the good news! </span></p>

<p><span class="font_large">Dating back to 2009, when I received a phone call from a Gospel artist by the name of Filomeno Lopes. We met while both of us were ministering for the Jubil Gospel Music conference in San Remo, Italy. So to fast-forward he contacted me to come to Rome to participate in a campaign for UNICEF. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The project Child Eyes was launched, Filameno and I lost contact over the years, and recently Filomeno wrote me to say that everyone from his country Guinea-Bissau has the voice of Habaka in their minds and hearts from the UNICEF Campaign. I was very humbled to hear that, because I never thought more about the collaboration that I had done with him for UNICEF, all I knew is that Filomeno asked me to be a part of it, and I gladly volunteered.</span></p>

To my surprise, I was so busy this year, that I didn't have much time to meditate on the fact that my father was not here with me. And it was a different feeling for me this year. I mean, I miss him for sure. Singing the entire weekend, lotted me the opportunity to give homage to my father with joy. I remembered the story of while being his caregiver, as I was walking out of the kitchen, my father looked at me and said; "Oh my God! Your just like me" and I said; "huh yes daddy; I'm just like you, a musician." </span></p>

I'm very excited to make this launch. Pussycat Eyewear by Habaka Kfj is now available for purchase. This exclusive hand crafted eyewear, made in Italy started out on my EP CD cover "Just Say I Love Him", and on my latest CD cover entitled "Heritage Blue". </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Everyone wanted to know how they could get a pair of these glasses. Well, now you can. "They come in two classic colors (tortoiseshell and black) which means this eyewear will never be out of style. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You make them your own, by adding your prescription lens if need be. They can be made with transitioning lenses or as sunglasses as well. Or you can have tinted color lenses or not. It's totally up to you how you want to create your unique style. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I love receiving photos from my clients, showing off their new sexy look. Not only do they look good on everyone that gets them, but surprisingly they are... "Purrrrrrrrrrfectly You"</p>

I bought this tiny little birdhouse from a cute couple in Las Vegas about two years ago at a flea market. While I was standing there chatting with them I learned that the husband built all of these wonderful birdhouses by hand, and the one I had chosen in particular was special because the roof of the birdhouse came from an old barn in Connecticut and the wood was more than 50 years old. </p>
<p>Not only that; this couple had lost their daughter and she was an avid believer in helping the shelter for homeless children. So they started a foundation in her name, and by selling items that they mainly made by hand since he could build these incredible birdhouse's and his wife could knit and sew, all of the monies made at the market, they would go and buy brand new tennis shoes for the homeless children in the shelter. </p>
<p>What really stayed in my mind was that, these children (the majority) were homeless because their parents had left them behind after gambling in the casino and loosing all their money. I just couldn't imagine that being legal to happen, but it is. I didn't mean to take the story there, but that is what remained in my mind. </p>
<p>So Happy Earth Day, and remember that the making of this little birdhouse to give birds shelter, was also used to collect monies to give to the homeless children that are being cared for in these shelters. Hugs </p>

<p>Since returning to the US from my winter European tour, I've had the opportunity to perform in Las Vegas at a few jazz clubs here in Las Vegas. So as you saw, of course on my last blog post, while I was singing at the Cork & Thorn in Tivoli Village, Al B. Sure came in and enjoyed the show. </p>
<p>So fast forward; I performed last Sunday at the event Chill Out Sundays "Unplugged" hosted by none other than radio personality Lankston T Carter of KUNV 91.5 radio. While performing at the Artisan Boutique Hotel towards the end of the night Skip Martin, trumpeter and vocalist came in and serenaded us as well. I'll just say, it was a great night! </p>

You heard me correctly, it's a flower shop during the day and a Jazz Club in the evening. </p>
<p>The story goes like this, I went to meet a couple of my girlfriends that had been telling me I needed to stop by and meet the owner so that I could possibly get booked to perform. So I finally arrived to hear the guitarist by the name of Dirk. I sat in and sang a song with him, and as they say the rest is history. </p>
<p>Fast forward I performed there on April 12th with a wonderful pianist/saxophonist by the name of Wayne Grey and towards the end of the night, who comes in and sits at the bar but Al B. Sure. I didn't know that it was him when he walked in and I really didn't see his face because his back was to me almost the entire time that he sat there chatting with the club owner. </p>
<p>We finish the night and the owner walks up to me and says, I'd like you to meet my dear friend Al B. Sure. I was totally surprised and needless to say I was able to get a shot with him. He said he enjoyed the show and was very cordial and we even realized that he knew my father. </p>
<p>Indeed it's a small world and you just never know who you will meet, whether it be in a huge venue or a small intimate venue. Always be at your best, because you never know who you will meet. Stars are born just in that way. Lol Hugs </p>

<p>Being an independent artist I've learned to appreciate online radio stations that support independent artist. The reason that is, is because you may not be aware, but there are many online radio personalties that have thousand of followers from all over the world. Meaning, that you can be introduced to new listening ears that have never heard you before and also be aired next to artist who have celebrity status as well. </p>
<p>As a professional vocalist for more than 20 years, working hard to record quality music has been my main goal along with giving quality concerts. So, to have the opportunity to be heard before an entire new part of the world such as Lagos, Nigeria is exciting, which brings me to my radio interview that will be taking place on tomorrow March 20th at 10:00PM (EST) on the Brownehill Radio station in Lagos, Nigeria. <a contents="www.brownehillradio.com. " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.brownehillradio.com" target="_blank">www.brownehillradio.com. </a> This interview will be in real time. </p>
<p>I'm excited and honored to have been asked for this interview. Heritage Blue is on the move and I invite you all to tune in tomorrow to hear my story. Much love to you! Habaka</p>

<p>I love the taste and smell of coffee. Today I’m drinking coffee that my girlfriend/business partner <a contents="TuKute" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.instagram.com/thetukute" target="_blank">TuKute</a> brought to me from Atlanta. You may want to try it. (Attibassi Espresso Cafe) The coffee didn’t come from Atlanta, but the coffee was Italian coffee, and TuKute knows that I've traveled extensively in Italy. Now you may be thinking there’s no difference, but there is. And I tell you what, the first time I made me a cup of this coffee I was in heaven. :-) </p>
<p>I normally have at least one cup a day, usually whenever I get up in the morning or sometimes before I go to bed. I really fell in love with coffee when I went over to Italy and learned how the espresso is done. Of course I enjoyed drinking the real capacino italian Style.

<p>This is Habaka stepping into her inheritance, while she’s considered to be one of the last authentic Blues, Jazz, and Gospel voices in her genre today, Habaka wears the crown. After all it’s in her DNA! </p>

<p>I had the pleasure to meet Ronnie via a referral from now a friend Theresa and my dear friend Tanya. Tanya and Theresa were both on board that wonderful Jazz & Blues Riverboat Cruise hosted by the Hartford Jazz Society, where I had the opportunity to perform with my band Shakeblues. Well, from that moment I gained a new fan and as they say the rest is history.</p>
<p>Not only am I excited to be a guest on the <a contents="WRTC FM RADIO " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.wrtcfm.com" target="_blank">WRTC FM RADIO </a>show from the Thought Power Crew, but I'm just like a little girl in a toy or candy store. </p>
<p>I grew up in Connecticut and I went to school in Bloomfield, CT and I had grew up listening to WRTC countless hours. So you can just imagine how I must be feeling right now. I'm not going to give away all of the story so that you'll come to join me and listen in. </p>
<p>Tell your friends and my friends too:-) and share, share, share.... Oh! you can also call in and request your favorite song from the "Heritage Blue" CD! I'm going to be looking to hear from you. Hugs </p>

<p><span class="font_large">Meet Andreea Nicky of Vittorio, Veneto Italy. Last summer while on my summer tour, I was at the market which is held on Monday's in Vittorio Veneto. I always arrive when the market is just about over. So to get to the story...I'm at the vegetable and fruit stand and I'm asking for strawberries, bananas, pineapple, etc... I notice a young girl off to the side (Andreea Nicky) purchasing some apples and a few other items. I'm laughing and talking with the guy because he's always trying to sell me much more than I can eat or carry. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Well, I finish paying for my items and as I turn around I see that very same young lady (Andreea Nicky) standing near the side walk. The dialogue: Her: Are you this person in this photo?( and she shows me her telephone). Me: (I'm startled because the photo is in fact of me) Lol. Yes!! It's me I say, Her: I thought that was you when I heard your voice at the fruit stand, I've been looking for you for years since the time I heard you sing here in Vittorio Veneto in the square about 5-6 years ago. Me: Oh my God! that's incredible after all these years you recognize me. Her: When I heard your voice and looked at you I said to myself "it has to be her" Me: So you've been waiting all this time for me to finish shopping to ask me that question? Her: Yes, and I even made a purchase so I wouldn't seem suspicious. (We both laugh) Me: Wow, this is amazing, (we take a photo together with both of our phones) Her: I'm one of your biggest fans and I just love your music, your voice, I can't believe I'm actually seeing you. Me: It really is amazing, please let's stay in touch on social media and I have new music out that you may like. Her: I will, I'm so happy to have found you again.<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60958/e796c1ebcf0a33e0317221a70609b8bfc2904f7b/medium/andreeahkfj.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_" />So Andreea I just want to say thank you for being a follower and supporter of my<a contents=" music" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://habaka.hearnow.com"> music</a> and I want you to know I don't take it lightly.

He played the Blues the majority of his lifetime, he worked hard and believed in perfecting his craft. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">He played at the White House many times, and for our Troops as well. He received a Gold Record with B.B. King and Bobby Blue Bland and received recognition from the Governor in Memphis, TN for being one of the original Beale Street musicians, and he received the 2014 JUS’ Blues “Bobby Blue Bland” Award Honoree “Ambassador to the Blues” and much more. I said all that to say, he never spoke about those things and so I never knew until he was gone, but I’m proud to be able to say he was my father and it really seems impossible that 3 years has already passed since his passing. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I think of him on a daily basis and I miss having those late night phone conversations with him. He left his mark in music to be heard for a lifetime. Happy Birthday Daddy (Wild Cat-Melvin Jackson) I miss you so much! “It’s Just That Simple” (his favorite words)!

<p><span class="font_large">Tomorrow is Halloween and it's also the last day of October. For me this means remembering several important events in my life. It's funny that today I'm actually thinking about the times I celebrated halloween when I was a little girl. I haven't thought about that since I was a little girl.:-) Do you remember when you went out Trick or Treatin'? I have very fond memories of this date and I remember vividly how my mom would invite all of the kids in the neighborhood to our house for a party. I believe we would get all dressed up and we would even go out and knock from door to door maybe for about 30 minutes and after that everyone would come to our house, where my mom would have purchased a cake along with some sandwiches and punch.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">It almost brings tears to my eyes also as I think about that with a smile but yet at the same time to fast forward to 3 years ago where I find myself remembering being the caregiver of my father. You see, his birthday will be on November 1st which makes it 3 years that he's no longer here, and so I'm having quite a few mixed emotions here full of joy and tears at the same time. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">I took this photo a couple of weeks ago while walking through the center and these pumpkins also made me think of the times that I would cut my pumpkins and put a candle in it. I think I'll buy a pumpkin just for the heck of it and see what I carve out. Lol Be careful and enjoy yourselves. #thelifeofavocalist</span></p>

I've never really been the type of girl that liked as they call it Bling, Bling, but of course I liked wearing diamonds. I must say that there were a few items that caught my eye immediately which were a pair of cat eye glasses outlined in rhinestones that the owner was wearing and anyone that knows me, knows that I love anything to do with a cat, a lion, leopard, cheetah, panther...you get the gist. Lol So anyway I tried them on and instantly fell in love with them. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The owner of the store <a contents='"A Little Bling by Dale"' data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.alittleblingbydale.com" target="_blank">"A Little Bling by Dale"</a> (Dale Cooper) was so pleasant and we seemed to hit it off right away. We chatted and laughed as I tried on all sorts of jewelry with the Bling, then; there they were a pair of cat rhinestone masks!!!! My mouth fell open and I said, these have to be mine and the rest was history as they say. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Well, I was invited to the Witches & Wizards Masquerade Ball of the magicians (I know, I was just blown away with the invite, and so I said a big YES) with one of the most prominent magicians <a contents="(Mondre)&nbsp;" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.mondremagic.com" target="_blank">(Mondre)</a> of this era where I finally had the opportunity to wear one of my mask and I must say so myself I felt like I was in a fairy tale.

I'm so happy and appreciative of being added to the blues podcast in Hartford, CT. You may be thinking, "why is she so happy"? Well for one thing I was raised in Hartford, CT via Bloomfield, CT, worked in the city for many years and also have been gone for many years. I never performed much in those days, because it was more or less like a hobby to me, so I think you can understand my joy of being added to such a prestigious blues podcast at that. Be sure to take a listen to their podcast, they have been around for quite some time and it's really good. Tell them Habaka sent you! </p>

I'll be the first to say that I am terrible at remembering someones name, but I can say that I never forget a face. Even in the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" Meryl Streep had her girls to learn the names and faces of all of her clients and contacts so that she would look fabulous seeming to have remembered their names. I've also read that there are little specialties about a person that you can pick out about that person to link it to their name the very first time you meet, and by doing that it will always remain in your memory bank to be pulled to the surface when you see that person again. I believe that you can use this also as a good means of brain exercise which I definitely need, seeing that I meet so many people in a year's time. <br><br>So as I sat in WCLK Radio station waiting to be interviewed by Gwen Redding aka (Rivablue) in Atlanta, GA, in walks <a contents="Jamal Amad radio personality " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://wclk.com/programs/soul-jazz" target="_blank">Jamal Amad radio personality </a>of the Soul of Jazz radio broadcast. Now, I had met Jamal in 2013 when I volunteered for their yearly fund drive to help keep WCLK on the air waves and it was a fantastic day talking to people on the phone and musicians stopping by the station to give a shoutout on the air and say hello to everyone participating. So OK, mind you again, that I had not seen Jamal since 2013 and that was the only time we met, well he walks up to me and he says "hello, how are you? and I respond hi I'm fine, good to see you, and he says, Habaka right? and me, I'm floored because he remembered my name. The power of remembering someone's name. </p>

But there were several miracles that took place during the actual recording. (you'll have to hear of those in my <a contents="Newsletter" data-link-label="JOIN" data-link-type="page" href="/join">Newsletter</a>) </p>
<p>Since the release of Heritage Blue in December 2016 on the Husky Tone Records label, the CD has been on a steady pace making it's way into the hearts, on the air waves, and into the magazines. (this is not the first magazine review for Heritage Blue)</p>
<p>I'm just so happy, because as an independent artist it's not easy to get into the bigger magazines out there. I know that consistency is always the key and to never give up hope. (if you don't succeed the first time, try and try again) I truly believe this is going to be just the beginning for Heritage Blue and I'm looking forward to bigger and better things on the horizon. </p>
<p>Thank you to everyone that participated in the project for Heritage Blue, and thank you to Living Blues for giving me such honest feed back, I appreciate it so much. Feel free to leave any comments you may have on "Heritage Blue". I love hearing from you and let me know what your favorite song is off of the album.

(OK! sometimes you may have received a gift where it looks like they didn't think about you at all! Lol) </p>
<p>Being a professional vocalist and always traveling I meet so many people that often times bring me gifts, either from someone that takes their earrings off and give them to me, (because I said I liked them) or they actually went out and bought me a gift and presented it to me at my concert, or they made something by hand. One day I will have to post several of my gifts that I have received through the years. </p>
<p>But today I'd like to give a shout out to Fabiana, she has known me for many years and has always supported my music career by coming to my concerts, buying my latest CD the moment it comes out, buying CD's for her friends and the list goes on. Well, during the Christmas holiday season of 2016, Fabiana posted a photo on FB (of a little crocheted doll) and tagged me with the question (does this look like someone you know?) my mouth wide open in surprise because it was a little Habaka Doll!</p>
<p>So she tells me the next time your in the area let me know I'd like for you to have it. Finally I was in the area and as they say the rest is history, I now have little Habaka in my possession and she is just the cutest little doll you've ever seen, Fabiana was inspired to make her from a photograph that I had posted in the winter with the same style hat that she put on this doll, and her dress from a sweater or jacket that I was wearing in another photograph, her dreadlocs are in all shades of the rainbow! So much work was put into the making of this doll and I just want Fabiana to know how much I appreciate her taking out her time and energy to make this doll by hand, that when you see it you know it was most definitely made <span style="color:#3498db;">STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART!</span> THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.....

My drummer Loris Veronesi and I arrived around 6:30pm and the sun was in full bloom. Our first stop was at the optical store called Occhiali di Barbara (by the way she's my eyewear sponsor) because she was hosting this wonderful event along with the City of Noale. </p>
<p>There's a small video footage on my instagram page if you want to see just how beautiful the <a contents="Rocca dei Tempesta " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.instagram.com/habakamusic" target="_blank"><strong>Rocca dei Tempesta</strong> </a>really is. We had a wonderful dinner and as they say, "time goes so quickly" before we knew it, it was show time! A lot of the times I really don't know how in the world I am able to get myself together. :-) I always think I have time, which I do start prepping myself before hand but it's never enough. (you know how we women are) needless to say I found myself trying to get ready in literally 10 minutes! </p>
<p>A lot of people came out and I'm so grateful that it was a success, because we would like to go back again. I think there was about 450-500 people in the <a contents="Rocca dei Tempesta," data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.instagram.com/habakamusic" target="_blank"><strong>Rocca dei Tempesta,</strong></a> and because it's so big that even with 450-500 people it seemed as if there was just a hand full of people. It was so nice to see people that follow us whenever possible and of course to make new friends. The sound service was impeccable from Biasin Musical Instruments and Alberto Igne sound man and friend! </p>
<p>To close the night I was braced with a lovely bouquet of flowers from Occhiali di Barbara and a book on the Art of Noale! A wonderful night indeed. Thank you to everyone. Because I love what I do, it never seems like work, even though at times I may not have slept for days, but that's the way it goes!!!!!</p>
<p>Until next time, remember to share, share, share with your friends, and I love to chat with you, so if you want to leave any comments about the concert, please let me hear from you!!!! Oh!!!!!

<p>So I wake up to text message from my girl friend, that she's going to be arriving in the little town where I'm lodging, to participate in the 51st annual National Choir Competition held at Vittorio Veneto's "Lorenzo Da Ponte" Theater! So, obviously I was pretty excited because I hadn't seen her or her son for quite some time. I jumped up looked up the Theater on google to see how far it was from where I was staying and low and behold, it was about a 10 minute walk! I messaged her to say that I'll be there to cheer her and her Choir on. (They are in the blue tunics in the photo above (Notenere Gospel Choir)) </p>
<p>Now mind you none of this was in my plans for the day and actually I had scheduled a FB phone meeting for 3pm which I was going to have to cut short because I had to be there by 4pm when the Notenere Gospel Choir would be competing. So to give you a flashback of my conversation 2 days prior with <a contents="Exclusif&nbsp;Entertainment" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.exclusifentertainment.com" target="_blank">Exclusif Entertainment</a>, I told them that I had no plans and that I would be free to meet. (Of course as the universe would work it, I really was not going to be available) </p>
<p>So I arrive to the venue about 5 minutes late and the "Notenere Gospel Choir" had already started to sing. I'm looking for the correct door to enter in and the young lady informs me that because they have started I could not enter in. So needless to say I tried to tell her the story about my girlfriend being a part of the choir and that I came for this very reason. Well she wasn't having it and did not let me enter. As I'm standing there with this look on my face of total disappointment I hear someone call my name, and to my surprise it was someone from another choir (Coro Getsemani) that was also competing that I had given a master class and sang with them in concert several years ago during the Christmas holidays! I was very happy to see them and they too were happy to see me. They said that they had never forgotten our time together and asked if they could take a photo which is up above. </p>
<p>So the moral of the story is that if I had been able to go inside I would not have seen Coro Getesmani. Now the young lady that would not let me in, noticed that everyone was approaching me and asking if they could take a photo with me even down to the woman that organized the event, and she wanted to know who I was. Lol which was a lesson to her that you never know who you are conversing with.:-) Oh, and by the way I never did get to see my girlfriend:-( </p>

Now, I'm happy to say that it's gotten to the point where I'm going twice a year being winter and summer.<br><br>The staff is always so friendly here and not to mention that every time I appear there with Shakeblues Band (Francesco (Shakeblues) Mazilli-Bass, Fabio Betto-Guitar, Sergio Caregnato-Sax, Nicola Dal Bo-Piano/Hammond Organ, and Loris Veronesi-Drums) Mattorosso is completely SOLD OUT! Not to toot my own horn, but I'd say that's a pretty good record wouldn't you say? <br><br>So I've just arrived here in Italy on the 2nd of May to start off my summer "Heritage Blue" tour returning to Mattorosso. Over the years' I've also acquired a following and I'm always looking forward to seeing those fans who support me and Shakeblues and becoming acquainted with those new fans that I will be meeting for the first time. <br><br>If your in the area tomorrow night, Saturday May 6, 2017 come on out to Via Piave 108, Montebelluna, Italy showtime is at 9:30pm, and let me know that your there so we can surely take a selfie together! <br><br>Share this with your friends and be sure to like my FB page at <a contents="www.facebook.com/habakamusic " data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.facebook.com/habakamusic" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/habakamusic </a>and by the way, have you joined my mailing list?

I don't know about you, but that makes me feel pretty darn good especially when you are aware that their are hundred's of artists trying to get their music in the music stores, on community radio, on internet radio, on podcast's and anywhere else that supports music. <br><br>As an independent artist it sure brings much joy when you can begin to see the fruits of your labor at work, because as they say your the little fish in the big pond. LoL When you've been working so hard at your career you can only wish, hope, and pray that you will be able to sustain, build a following, and become a much wanted voice to be heard. <br><br>Another reason I'm so excited is because <strong>I'M FROM CONNECTICUT!!! </strong>That's right!!!! So if you are in the Fairfield, CT area or not too far, you can go on over to Vinyl Street Cafe located at 1895 Post Rd., Suite C. and ask for "Heritage Blue" by Habaka. <br><br>A good time to go would be anytime, I do know that International Record's Day coming up on April 22nd, so why don't you go check them out and tell em' Habaka sent you. <br><br><br>BE SURE TO SHARE, SHARE, SHARE...AND FEEL FREE TO COMMENT, I LOVE HEARING FROM YOU.....Habaka tag:habakakfj.com,2005:Post/46647192017-04-10T11:45:13-07:002017-04-10T11:49:37-07:00FROM BLOOMFIELD, CT TO ATLANTA, GA FROM ATLANTA, GA TO ITALY, FROM ITALY TO LAS VEGAS <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60958/fac089340d679dbe9338eb40fd616451b4100d15/medium/img-6397kfairadio.jpg?1491285706" class="size_m justify_left border_none" alt="" />I'm here to tell you that so much has been going on in "The Life Of A Vocalist" that I can barely keep up to put it out in the press! Last week I mentioned how excited I was to have been added in rotation on KFAI Radio in Minneapolis, MN and after a week of "Heritage Blue" being in rotation on two of Lady J's radio programs, your gracious host (Rollin' n Tumblin' and Global Roots) Lady J contacted me to say we must do a live in direct radio interview on <strong><span style="color:#c0392b;">Tuesday April 11th at 4:00pm! </span></strong><br><br>We will be talking about my journey from my home where I grew up in Bloomfield, CT to where I am now, and boy do we have a lot to talk about. So I won't give you all of the story here, but what I will ask is that you listen in, call in, and request her to play your favorite song from the "Heritage Blue" album. <br><br>You can tune in at <a contents="www.kfai.org" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.kfai.org" target="_blank">www.kfai.org</a> and call 612-341-0980 to chat with me and Lady J! <p>Rollin' and Tumblin' <br><strong><span style="color:#c0392b;">Tuesday<br>4:00pm to 6:30pm (CST) <br>5:00pm-7:30pm (EST) <br>2:00pm-4:30pm (PST) </span></strong><br><br>I'll be looking forward to hearing from you and we'll be giving away a signed CD!!!!

Well I'm happy to say that my new CD "Heritage Blue" is in rotation on KFAI Radio, Minneapolis, MN on the program Rollin' and Tumblin' hosted by DJ: Jacquie "LadyJ Griot" Maddix. It's really amazing because I met Lady J about 5-6 years ago when I went to Minneapolis with an incredible woman by the name of Mary that I met in Mars Hill, NC while performing with a long time friend and pianist named Steve Cole. Now Mary, being from Minneapolis knew where all the happenings were in the city, and she was determined to get me out where she could sign me up to sing. </p><!-- more -->So we decided to make a night of it with all of her family members and off we were. If it had not of been for me hanging with Mary, I would have never met Lady J. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow even though you may not understand why you are doing the things you are doing or even taking the risks you may be taking. Meanwhile back to the story...we went to several clubs that night and we ended up at Famous Dave's in Minneapolis and this is where I met Ms. Lady J, boy did we hit it off right off the bat and as they say the rest is history. You'll have to read the rest of this story in my book. Lol<br><br>Listen to Rollin' and Tumblin' with your radio host Lady J on Tuesday's from 4-6:30pm and on Friday's Global Roots with your radio host Lady J from 4-6:30pm. And the last thing to remember is to call in and ask for my new CD Heritage Blue at 612-375-9030.<br><br><br>BE SURE TO SHARE, SHARE, SHARE AND FEEL FREE TO LEAVE YOU COMMENTS.....I ALWAYS LOVE HEARING FROM YOU!Habaka tag:habakakfj.com,2005:Post/46328972017-03-16T13:38:19-07:002017-03-17T19:18:45-07:00MARCH IS WOMEN'S MONTH <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/60958/5a5ef671ac4e89ebf38fa5f1b34942f33741f869/original/the-neveda-womens-film-fest.png?1489803413" class="size_l justify_center border_" />I'm so happy to announce that I will be performing for this year's 2017 Nevada Women's Film Fest in Las Vegas, NV.

Il CD comprende dodici brani, di cui 2 originali ed è l’omaggio di Habaka K.F.J. a tutti i suoi avi e ascendenti, in particolare al padre Melvin Jackson, sassofonista del re del blues B.B.

Tutte personalità che le hanno permesso di respirare la musica che adesso è diventata la sua ragione di vita, un retaggio che Habaka celebra con le sue grandi doti espressive e rivendicato, sin il titolo, come un lascito che va perpetuato per le generazioni future. </p>

Habaka Kay Foster-Jackson’s voice takes me on a musical journey. If you can listen to “Like The Sunshine” and not tear up, then you need to hit rewind. Each song included in this project is gutsy, and heartfelt. It is a kick your shoes off, dim the lights and drop a few cubes in the brown liquor good. I highly recommend this project and Habaka Kay Foster Jackson and her amazing voice. </p>

Since my last post I have been without a computer!!!!!!! You heard me right, so you know that for anyone in a business or not that without your computer you are like walking in limbo:-) I mean things could be much more grim and I have NO way of communicating with you, but to do some of the bigger things I really do need to have a computer. <br><br>In the meantime I have been trying my best to keep up on my other social media pages like: FB: <a contents="www.facebook.com/habakamusic" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.facebook.com/habakamusic" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/habakamusic</a> and my Twitter: @HabakaKFJ and ReVerbNation which with only these I have quite a time keeping it :-) I don't know how people do it really with all of the other social media there is, if you have a secret then let me in on it would you please?:-) <br><br>What prompted me to write this BLOG today was that while I was on my twitter account: @HabakaKFJ I posted notice of an upcoming concert and maybe after about 5 min. I received a notification that Niki Howard had favorited my tweet for the first time I was just like a little girl smiling from ear to ear and with unbelieving eyes I continued to look at that little star thinking Wow! I wonder if it's really her or if she has someone keeping up her social media like so many of them do, but who cares the important thing is I got somebody's attention:-) and that's the good thing about technology, you just never know what can happen.<br><br>Heres a copy of my notification: HOW COOL IS THAT? <br>Habaka,<br>Your Tweet got favorited! <br> <br> Habaka<br>@HabakaKFJ<br>I'm headlining tomorrow's concert if u r in the area I'd love to meet you! #thelifeofavocalist #musicsweetforthesoul pic.twitter.com/wMQWIZJ31b<br>06:01 PM - 18 Aug 14<br> Favorited by<br> miki howard @MikiHowardlive <br>Entertainer and a living doll...<br>See what else @MikiHowardlive is favoriting. <br><br>So in closing I say don't give up on your craft or yourself because your worth it, but you must know that you are.

It really surprised me to find out that there are only 9 Jazz stations still operating throughout America!!!! the rest of them have been forced to close down, and another amazing fact that I learned was that WCLK has been going strong for 40 years. What an accomplishment ladies and gentlemen. (the children of Israel wandered around in the wilderness for 40 years):-) <br><br>So after hearing this new's I was compelled to go be a part of making history helping keep JAZZ ALIVE! Everyone in the studio was very cordial and after meeting Jamal Ahmid, Mark Angel, Juanita and Joi it made for all the more reason to be a happy camper getting in the trenches sort to speak. I had a wonderful time chatting with pledger's as they expressed their willingness to be a part of such an important cause.

So in thinking about it today I just wanted to share with you that I found out that I actually was not relaxing, but where I was going was really the true meaning of relax. <br><br>I found this definition of relax from<strong><a contents=" www.impactpublishers.com" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.impactpublishers.com" target="_blank"> www.impactpublishers.com</a> -</strong> The relaxation response is a physical and mental technique that counteracts the stress response, creating a return to normal. Balance is achieved within the system. Complete relaxation involves learning to recognize and feel tension in every muscle of the body, and how to release it. Four basic elements are required to learn the relaxation response. <br><br>And I must say I completely agree after my experience yesterday March 3, 2014. All I can say is if you've never tried it you must. Where ever you live google and find a SPA such as <strong><a contents="www.jejusauna.net" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.jejusauna.net" target="_blank">www.jejusauna.net</a> </strong>to get the full effect and give yourself a treat.

It became so bad that I ended being hospitalized and having to undergo an outrageous amount of antibiotic treatment. I tell you what for anyone it's no fun and especially for a professional singer. Can you imagine the metal trauma I've been going through? Thinking all kinds of thoughts of not being able to perform again, loosing my voice with a different voice remaining as a result...and on and on and on.:-)<br><br>Well the good new's is that I was given all sorts of test and one in particular was an MRI which with that they were able to discover that I had an abnormal bronchial function probably since I was born, which never surfaced until now and would not have been able to be detected through normal xrays, like I had taken a week before which only showed that I had pneumonia. So the rest of the good new's is that none of my organs had been damaged and that I can be cured!!!!!! So you know I was really cuttin a dance and praising the Lord on that one. :-) <br><br>So seeing that I should be good as new in about week, I can hardly wait to get back on the stage and do what I love the most and that's sing.<br><br>Hugs Habaka<br><br>Your comments are always welcomed!

I remember clearly that mid-morning I was on the phone laughing and talking with a friend who is also from America, you see because I live in Italy and so we were on the phone chatting and laughing and I was cooking. We were just talking about how we missed home and we both had our televisions on and my friend shouts to me, OH my God!, Oh my God! and he says did you see what just happened in the united states? So I'm standing there looking at the television and it looks like some kind of a film thats going on and I myself began to trimble, still in shock and not fully understanding what was really happening I keep saying is that in New York? And I'm thinking oh my God!, the people in the buildings and on the street, we immediately got off the phone and I proceeded to try to reach my mother, which was impossible by that time all the lines were shut down., (my mom lives in Atlanta) So of course I'm thinkin' I need to go home., well I finally reached my mother the next day and she of course wanted me to come home, well when I went to check the flights to the US were not happening. <br><br>At that very moment was when I felt helpless and trapped, being so far away and unable to do a thing. That's also when I realized that it only takes a split second and your whole life can change forever. I think we take too many things for granted and that we should always think of such events to keep us on track and whats really important in this life that were living. <br><br>To all those who lost loved ones on that day, may your hearts continue to heal.

About 10yrs ago I had a terrible accident here in Italy, needless to say "God Is Good" because I'm still here in one piece.:-) , so everytime I have a tour that involves much travel and changes in the climate at the end of that tour when I retire back home to relax, an accumlation of all that took place locks my muscles down and I'm left in a position where I can barely move. (<strong>it feels as if I relive the accident all over again (if you know what I mean)) </strong><br><br>So to make a long story short, that's exactly what happened to me about 3 days ago, and since I'm a firm believer in natural healing my physical therapist always warns me to prepare before hand and do treatments so I won't have to go through this, but you know how we are as humans and we always say "yes I understand and I'll do it" and then we get caught up in what we think is more important and not make the time to do so. <br><br>I know one thing, this time the payment was very high and I bet you I will be doing what I'm supposed to do inorder to prevent this from happening where I have to be in so much pain., I can't even begin to explain, how painful it is. So the good new's is, it's day 3 and I'm starting to feel much better, and that's because I'm having to go to my therapist everyday for a week for treatment inorder to get back on my feet.<br><br>If you have similar incidents like this that affect your body then you know what I'm talking about, and feel free to even add your experience here. Just happy to be feeling better!!!

It's almost August and that means that my summer tour is winding up! It has been such a blast and I've been traveling all over Europe performing on some ot the most prestigious Festivals in Europe! I've met some very interesting people and I've seen some very interesting places as well, I even stayed at a Hotel where they actually are number 10 in the USA for producing the best Wine!, they still do it the old fashion way and how educational it was to learn exactly what it takes to produce Organic Wine. After thinking about it I came up with this (now I understand why the Bible said the wine produced by Jesus, his first miracle was so incredible, because it was <strong>NATURAL</strong>!):-) <br><br>Even though I'm looking forward to resting a bit, it always makes me just a little sad that all the excitement is over, so I guess I'll just have to stay busy preparing for the next season which will be Christmas!!!! <br><br>Feel free to leave your thoughts as well, I love conversating.
