Hey Guys,

I hope you enjoyed our “Spotlight” of the month feature =) Do you have what it takes to become a "Spotlighter"? Or do you have a cool event/venue you would like for us to cover?  Well e-mail us at nyscenestealer@gmail.com, we got you !

with Kenny Ortega

Jess and I’s second home - Sazon Restaurant  - the tropical, sexy/sophisticated ambiance attracts a sense of tranquility and captures the culture and art of Puerto Rico. You all have to come by…especially Saturdays that's when the party really starts! You can find us both there, I work the lounge and she holds it down in the office. I love dabbling into this industry, it’s a perfect experience and a great way to get our foot in the door toward our future investment!

Have you heard Sazon shoutouts on x96.3? They play it every 5mins. They even shoutout our very own Chef Frank!! Jess and I hung out with DJ Sleepy from the (x93.6) Luis Jimenez Show! We had an interesting outing after a night at Sazon lol. We actually found out his big sister is singer, Lumidee. 

with Victor Cruz

Urban Latino always manage to have our after-party events at the venue! Last week was a perfect example for that. We had our Acoustic Wednesday there (check Jess's post for the 411) and we also hosted the 100 Hispanic Men after-party! The 100 Hispanic Men produced a Comedy Fundraiser at the Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre. The non-profit organization started out as a forum for Hispanic men in 2006. Today, it is a platform for Hispanic men with diverse backgrounds and careers. Through networking and community involvement, their goal is to form new possibilities for young people, build groundbreaking programs and revitalized communities.The evening was hosted by Kenny Ortega (Urban Latino Radio, SiTV Latino Laugh Festival, MTV Tr3s). Not only did he make people cry out of laughter, he also introduced the following comedians: Victor Cruz (SiTV Latino Laugh Festival, Law & Order), Gina Brillion (Comedy Central's Live at Gotham, MTV Tr3s) and Vladimir Caamano (Stand Up 360 at the Movies, Comic Quikies). The night was so funny!

#FunFact - Laughter can help relieve pain, bring greater happiness, and even increase immunity! Its good for the Soul and Body =).

Anyway you guys! I have to run off and get some sleep. Today is going to be a long day/night. We are working the LQs event where Alex Sensation and Johnnie Walker Black Label will announce their partnership. It should be a good night! ;)

xo, Samantha

Song of the Week:   "Fired Up" - Funky Dog  (This song always gets me pumped up for work!! It makes me almost want to fist pump lol).

What is up!

Haha, so I bet you all thought Samantha and I wouldn't put another post up this month...but you were wrong!! (lol) Nah, but we do honestly apologize for not putting our posts up in a timely manner, we're still trying to get used to our busy schedules.  It's hard, but I think little by little we're finding our groove and are managing our time better between our multiple jobs and projects. As always though, thanks for checking in with us!

Zeitlin Perez

So this week was all about our third home, Sazon (1st being out actual homes (lol) and 2nd being Urban Latino).  We attended GIVEN Liqueur's Acoustic Wednesday which featured LIVE performances from our friends, Zeitlin Perez, Joshua Torrez and new up-and-comer, Prez. 

Zeitlin Perez has performed for Merengue pioneers: Rubby Perez, Johnny Ventura, and The Henry Jimenez band. But her main highlight came from being on tour with Grammy award winning Dominican Merengue singer, Milly Quezada also known as the Merengue queen. Zeitlin’s range of music varies from R&B, Salsa, Spanish rock - but her heart will always be Merengue! She wants to follow the footsteps of Milly Quezada, but also strives to be able to sing in both worlds (English and Spanish). 

Joshua Torrez

Vocalist and Guitarist Joshua Torrez  is originally from Chicago. The artist is so young and talented, with an old but wise soul that transfers into his songs - his music is definitely reminiscent of Al Green.

Prez from IME Records added the "Hip Hop" element to Wednesday's performance. The South Jamaica, Queens native performed his latest work, based on his trial and tribulations. "Hip Hop allows people to express themselves in a free manner, and allows different races and religions to meet on common ground.” stated the young MC.

Prez

It was a great night that showcased lots of talent!  Later on that week, Samantha worked the 100 Hispanic Men Comedy event at the Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre with Kenny Ortega, Victor Cruz, Gina Brillion and Vladimir Caamano (read her post for more details). The after-party was at Sazon, where I was working. So Samantha filled me in on all the hilarious jokes from that night. 

Hope you enjoyed this week's blog and video!! Have an awesome week =)

Song of the Week: "E.T." - Katy Perry ft. Kanye West
