Living in Houston, but no-one in Houston is actually FROM Houston. I was
born in The Netherlands (Rotterdam) and my roots are from Suriname (
http://www.sr.net ); actually lived there 7 years of my youth. (Some of the
best soccer players in the world have roots from Suriname; check out the
Dutch team in the World Cup this year)
More details on the Houston scene @ http://www.wl.net/soularproductions .
Houston's downtown is being revitalized (new baseball stadium) and so a
number of hotspots are turning up: The Swank Lounge (my Thurs residency),
The Waxx Museum, The Orbit Room, Spy and many more starting to pop up.
Houston's more known for gangsta rap (Ghetto Boys, Scarface, etc.) than
anything else but we'd like to change that image because there's a wealth of
talent in Houston w/o a valid outlet. We've been working on it for 4 years
(promoting, spinning, concerts, radio show) and probably need another 2
years to turn the scene into something similar to Atlanta.
PEACE!
