Star Of The Month

That’s what I Am!

Singer/Songwriter

For some time now I have wanted to dedicate a monthly post to some of the people that I believe have put all they have into their passion, no matter what the outcome is/was. I really admire when people have a heart for something and work towards becoming the best they can be to make what they do come to light.

This month I bring to your attention a singer/songwriter by the name of Manny ‘Emanuel’ DeAnda.  I chose Manny because I love his drive and passion for his craft. While working hard on making himself known for what he does best, he has stayed true to himself and to the people around him.

He continued to keep God first in pursuing a career in this crazy music industry.

Not only is Emanuel a great, hard working man but he also has an amazing voice and tone that you just get lost in it.

Emanuel ‘Manny’ DeAnda was born and raised in the city of Pittsburgh P.A.

Manny attended Westing House High School where he became a part of the high school choir and went on to meet new people.

Manny teamed up with two friends to form the group ‘Crave’ which gave him his first taste of the music industry. With dedication, hard work and passion Crave went on to achieving 3 successful number 1 singles at their local radio station, they also predicated in charity work with The Creative Corner, American Red Cross and a Hurricane Katrina benefit which went on to earning them a ‘Key to the City’ & declared ‘Crave Day’ in June 2007.

Staying focused on their passion for music, the group made progress and began touring with Bluestar Entertainment recording group Pretty Ricky.

All of which was a learning experience for Manny that allowed him to go further in pursuing his goals, of becoming a successful musical artist.

In the summer of 2008 Emanuel signed with Pretty Ricky and Bluestar Entertainment where he performed under the moniker “Lingerie”. During this time, Emanuel made 6 appearances on BET's 106 & Park; as well as appearing on the Monique Show. He has performed in shows from the south, west and the east coast, Canada and abroad. 
With all his hard work going into his passion, Manny and the other Pretty Ricky members teamed up with two of R&B's legends H Town and Jodeci to bring their fans ‘Knocking Your Heels Off’ which went on to receive more than 22million views. Emanuel has also done songs with other big names in the industry; a fan of diverse artists such as Michael Jackson, Donnie Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, Guy, Jodeci, Musiq Soulchild and R. Kelly. 
2012 has been a year of new things for Emanuel, an accomplished singer, songwriter and self taught pianist. He is now pursuing a solo career, which will allow him to share with his audience the sultry soul-tinged songs he's made to have you boom with all who hear them through his incredible voice. 

I believe 2013 is going to be an amazing year for Manny ‘Emanuel’ DeAnda, as he continues to use the gift that God has bestowed upon him to inspire others in a true and positive way. The light within him will keep on shining.

Achieving Your Dream

I'm a big believer of achieving your dreams, and no matter your age you always have a chance to make those dreams come true.
The past year has been one that I will never forget, as September 2011 was the month I took my first step in achieving my dream. I enrolled into college to study Art and Design (Fashion), it was a new and different environment for me as all the girls in my class were just coming out of high school or under 19 years old apart from one lady that started sometime after. 

At first my goal was to keep my head down and get the work done in order to achieve the grades to pass, but as the weeks and months went by it became more than just keeping my head down and trying to focus (although I did that) I found myself becoming friends with a group of girls that sat at a table near me. Each girl had their own personality and was different in every way. They all had a different work ethic and mentality, to which now I see that we all want different things out of life. We may take the same classes but we all think in a different ways and look for different outcomes.
There were times when I found the need to help some of the girls in my class with things they didn't understand, as I wanted everyone to achieve the best that they could but at the same time I didn't want to fall behind with my work.
Each work Unit that I had to complete was all new to me, having completed High School in 2002 thing had changed big time...lol... I got frustrated and would sit and just look at my work wondering if this would give me a good grade?? Knowing that I had to be in my zone so that I could get my best pieces out. I never gave up; even though I wasn't good at art but the Fashion design was my goal and being able to draw was apart of what I wanted to do. The Art was a big part of creating a Fashion piece because you use it all as inspiration. 

The year was coming to an end and I was working on my final major project which I had to design, make and wear at the end of year fashion show which doubled up as graduation. 

The year went by so fast, but I can truly say that I really learnt what it takes to be a Fashion Designer, from designing to making the pattern and the producing of the garment. With each garment I made I learnt something new and I cant wait to start making for my own line.

Going to college was the first step towards my future and is one of my biggest achievements to date as I passed my Art and Design (Fashion) course with a *Distinction*. When I received my grade, I gave the biggest praise to my Lord, Saviour and Heavenly Father as I know that I would not have been able to have gotten through the year without Him. As much as I wish it was all me, it wasn't because I was given this talent by God for a reason and without His blessing I  would not be here with the grades I achieved.
 

So all the Glory and praise goes to God for the first step of achievement and I look forward to working with You/ God on the next step.
 

It's funny that we always tell others that ''you can do, just go for it'' but when it comes to ourselves it's a whole different story. We have to learn how to encourage ourselves to achieve the goals that are waiting to move us up in life. Know there maybe some obstacles on the way, but there are ways of getting over them and learning from them.

So go for your Goal/Dreams and be a believer of yourself :)

Who Am I ?

The world didn't make you, so why let it change you?

For a while I've been thinking about what my next post was going to be. I went back and forth about what to write, not knowing that all along the points I wanted to make were the same.

Today I write the message that I have been eager to share all this time.

On Sunday at church, my Pastor spoke about knowing who you are, knowing your passion and having wisdom for the passion you hold. It made me think about the post that I had been wanting to write and inspired me to complete it.

As I witnessed a certain persons actions over the past 7 months, all that my Pastor had been speaking about and the question he posed: Who Am I? brought it all into perspective.

The first thing that would come to mind when responding is... I am me and you follow that by giving a description of what you do; only to find out that, that is not who you are.

We as people have put ourselves in boxes and yearn to be accepted by the world, whilst forgetting who we really are. (Children of God)

In the past 7 months I have seen a young girl transform herself into the likeness of someone she calls a friend. Each week there's a change, either her hair, clothes or they way she talks and the answers she gives. To me it's sad to watch this young girl lose herself in order to fit in with someone that doesn't fully know who she is either.

The world we live in has taken control over the way we think about ourselves, and this has led to us believing that we are something that we are not. We were all made as individuals, created by the hand of God in his likeness but at the same time with differences, so we could go forth in the world and stand as we are without having to change to be accepted by others.

As individuals we should be able to love ourselves for who we are and love others for who they are. We may have the same likes and dislikes as the person next to us, but that doesn't mean we're the same. We may shop in the same store and pick up the same t-shirt and jeans, but we won't wear them the same as we both have individual shapes and styles .You have to embrace who you are, appreciate your traits and love how you look, for there will never be quite another like you that walks this earth.

You are you and you must love who you are no matter what. You were made to look the way you look, to feel the things you feel,  to express the things you express and to go forth in providing positivity and love to those that don't have.

Remember, LOVE Who you are and don't let the world change what it didn't spend time creating. God is love and creator of all.
