Artists Spotlight
Emoshun B. Campbell
(August 2013)
My Name is Emoshun B. Campbell. I am a Brooklyn, New York Native. I was brought up in a very diverse cultured background, a background that was big on motivation, creativity, and expressing one's self. I started singing at the
age of 2 years old and have been performing since I was 4 years old. Humbled spirit and was always passionate about performing arts. I applied myself in anything and everything dealing with performing. One of my biggest accomplishments thus far is graduating from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy (A.M.D.A) for the Fine Arts & Performing Arts. My family has always instilled in me, at a young age that no matter how talented you are a backup plan is always necessary in today’s society; knowledge is power!
My catalog of performances features the likes of Brooklyn 12 News, B.E.T for the opening of The Notorious B.I.G.’s wax monument at the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Times Square, and was cast in the world famous "Dream Girls" off-Broadway production where I played one of the singers from the infamous all girl group "The Stepsisters". But this is not just about me and my talent; I love sharing so much that I decided to create a show to highlight artists from all walks of life. The name of this show is called “Creative Minds” which is an Open Mic/Artist Show Case which takes place every other Wednesday night in Brooklyn, New York. We welcome peace, unity, and creativity. Help us expand. Spread the word about Creative Minds and like our page at www.facebook.com/CreativeMindsOpenMic.
My motto is to "Never give up on what you love to do and what makes you happy, as long as it’s positive and benefiting you". With having produced over 16 shows and currently in production with show #17, I need all the help I can get to find this show a home. This past March I also helped produce an All Women’s Show Case event for Women’s History Month which was featured in the Daily News.

Teezy
1981 August 13th was the birth of Larry C Tate Teezy out of the womb to 2125 Noah St. East Chattanooga! Raised in a fatherless home by his mom and older sister, Teezy, without any male role models in the household had to learn how to fend for himself and become a man through trial and error. During his middle school years
Teezy really embraced the streets, gang banging, weed, guns, and stolen cars. “Even at that time I kept a small circle. After going to Juvie, then running into a guy from LA inside the Wal-Mart that tried to get me to claim a street in his neighborhood, lol, all that cripping stopped. After that it was all about my neighborhood East Chatt.” Teezy and Ryder (John Boyd) started a group Southern Assassin Thug Family (SATF). “We did a few tracks and as time went on it was sidetracked by us working and having kids of our own… I ended up getting into the drug trade long days and nights of watching my back for the law or jack boys and found myself in a kill or be killed situation. I eventually got back in to the studio and started making moves (LF) but my guard came down and the FEDS got me. Doing my little 2 ½ bid thank God that was all no snitching involved… I learned a lot and saw a lot that prepared me to hit the streets and chase my dreams… Now I’m here clique tight belt buckle shit!!!
