Alexander Ivankov's Exclusive Interview w/ Designer Ninh Nguyen :The 'Jeremy Lin' of the Men's Fashion

Feature Alert:


 Alexander Ivankov's Exclusive Interview w/ Designer Ninh Nguyen :The 'Jeremy Lin' of the Men's Fashion


[Interview Excerpt]
Alexander Ivankov: We couldn’t help but notice the fantastic photos from your collection at the “Asian in NY Lunar Fashion Show”, being of Vietnamese descent, do you find that there are social barriers for Asian models and designers in the fashion industry?

 Ninh Nguyen: Asians are slowly making their mark onto the American scene. In 2010, the CFDA awarded all three top honors to Asian-American designers! That’s a major accomplishment in Fashion. You don’t hear much of Vietnamese designers in America, so I’d like to be one of the first Vietnamese-American designers to be recognized not only for Fashion, but most importantly for menswear. The men’s industry is much smaller than women’s, but evidently as fierce and competitive. There are definitely many barriers to overcome for Asians, but one quality that stands out in Vietnamese people is the fact that we have such a strong devotion to work hard and succeed in life. Nonetheless, if given the opportunity to shine, Asians will only excel. Take for example Jeremy Lin of the NY Knicks. I want to be the Jeremy Lin of Fashion – NINHSANITY!

Michael Jackson's Musical Tribute Song " Michael J" by Billy Evans

(February 6, 2012 , Richmond, VA)- The legend Michael Jackson's passing devastated the world, but his music continues to inspire us all. Singer, Songwriter and Pianist, Billy Evans felt that it was important to create a song to express gratitude to the late 'King of Pop', for all of his contributions to music. Simply titled "Michael J", the musical tribute song, is a soulful funky melody to dance to, a song we are sure Michael Jackson fans would enjoy. Listen to "Michael J" with the following link: http://billyevans.net/listen.html

"Michael J"

Michael J. you surely paved the way
You broke the barriers of color, you made a brighter day
For folks with dancing shoes to show exciting moves
All around the world woe-oh

Though you left for a reason
Your joy and pain, just a season
your stage is set in motion
Our love runs deep as the ocean

    Keep on dancing
    On the floor let's dance some more
     Like you just can't stop
                  
Your swift depart
It truly broke our hearts
Unbelievable Woe-Oh

Let's celebrate sing and dance tonight
Don't stop until the morning light
And let the beat of the music soothe your soul

Rock on till the break of dawn
Your legacy will live on and on
Let the beat of the music take control

Wondering just what went through your mind
Seems like only yesterday when you were doing fine
And we just can't believe,
That you were so deceived
Now our hearts will grieve woe-oh

Keep on dancing, your way to the top
like you just can't stop

It's so unfair,
You danced like Fred Astaire
Unbelievable Woe- oh

Let's celebrate sing and dance tonight
Don't stop until the morning light
And let the beat of the music soothe your soul

Rock on till the break of dawn
Your legacy will live on and on
Let the beat of the music take control

Lyrics & the State of the Music Industry - Insider Perspective from 20 Year Music Veteran Billy Evans

Lyrics & the State of the Music Industry - Insider Perspective from 20 Year Music Veteran Billy Evans

Canadian writer Tiffany Ford interviewed 20 Year Music Industry Veteran Billy Evans of Richmond, Virginia about his opinions on the state of the music industry today, and lyrical content.

TF: Billy Evans in your music, what are the subjects in your songs you like to write about?


BE: I write about love, peace, war, spirituality, dreams and some of my own personal experiences. For example my song entitled "Let's be Close Tonight" was personal.


TF: When you have an idea for a song, do you stop everything you are doing to start writing on it?

BE: The most challenging part of writing is the beginning. I have gotten out of bed on several
occasions to record an idea that I had for a new song. I've learned the hard way that if you
wait until the morning, it will be history.

TF: Do you listen to rap music?

BE: No! I don't listen to rap  and not because I don't think that it is a legitimate art. There
are some very talented and gifted rappers in the business that have invested a lot of
blood sweat and tears perfecting the craft. Kudos to the rappers. Personally for me,
I enjoy melodies, colors and excellent musicianship when I listen to music.

TF. Do you feel like music today doesn't emphasis on lyrical content or is it more about a beat?

BE: Not necessarily. There is lyrical content in the music of today. The question
is whether or not the content is positive, poetic, risque, overly seductive, meaningful
abusive, vulgar, or just down right stupid.

TF: Does music have to have meaningful lyrics to be meaningful?

BE: No! it's sort of like 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. What may be meaningful
to one person may not be meaningful to another. What's important to me may not
be important to you. Someone that grew up in the hood, surrounded by drugs, drive by's
and gang banging, would appreciate listening to a song about that more than I would.

TF: What’s the difference in today's music compared with the music you heard when you were growing up?

BE: The music that I heard when I was growing up was cleaner, more melodic and poetic. It was characterized by a completely different value system. The opposite sex was respected and not called bitches and whores. The black family, though still in impoverished circumstances still believed in spirituality, modesty, hard work and love. There are several reasons why substance in mainstream music has taken a back seat. 
Capitalism, lack of free speech censorship in our constitution, internet and the deterioration of the family.

TF: Did lyrics in music influence you as you were growing up?

BE: I didn't become a lyricist until I began writing music. What influenced me was the way that I was raised by my parents,  and the church background that I received from day one. I was however very intrigued by writers like Hal David, who collaborated with Burt Bacharach and  wrote splendid music for Dione Warwick. I also appreciate and enjoy the penmanship of Cole Porter.  

TF:  Do you feel a lot of people confused sex with love in music?

BE: That question would have to be broken down into which genre of music you are referring to. I have absolutely no problems with sexual overtones or themes in music as long as it is done with taste and class. As long as there is a courting going on, as long as it's not offensive, and as long as it still respects the man or women. I was a big fan of Marvin Gaye and "Let's Get it On", was lyrically brilliant and funky. There is no confusion in today's music because there is nothing left for the imagination.

TF: What makes a good song writer?

BE: What makes a good song writer or musician is natural ability,study, practice, discipline, and being eclectic.

TF:  Does lyrics make a song, or does a good sound make the song?

BE: In today's music market, monetary backing and publicity makes a song. "Lolly Pop", by Lil Wayne is a perfect example of that. However, it's my professional opinion that for mainstream Pop, R&B, and Rap, a simple beat can take precedence over lyrics. It's still important that a song is well produced with regard to sound regardless of the lyrics.
