  • Bio

    <About LA Stylez> Dance music producer/ artist "LA STYLEZ" (aka Tomok i Hirata) has recently released 1st. artist album ---"The LA Style Project", a collaborative album of 14 songs that were recorded with some of the most famous artists and producers of Dance, R&B and BigBeat in the world. LA Stylez's sound is heavily influenced by 1980-1985 West Coast funk, Soul, Electro & Fusion, which he has uniquely combined with modern Dance, R&B and BigBeat into a style that might best be described as West Coast Nu-Yorican Soul. LA Stylez's Los Angeles collaborators include the legendary "Maurice White" of "Earth, Wind & Fire". In NY, one of the worlds top house music DJs "Louie Vega" of "Masters At Work" joined in this project. Louie's MAW partner "Kenny Dope" also participated as a musician along with his Latin music band "Elements Of Life". The incomparable diva "Jocelyn Brown" rounds out this all-star New York cast. And in London, LA Stylez's home base of activity, he collaborated with "Incognito's" singer, "Maysa Leak". "The LA Style Project" (Clay Records) is where the 80's West Coast Sound seamlessly blends with Modern Dance Music.

    Follow Your Dreams La!
     
     
    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT FOLLOWING YOUR DREAMS ...

    "You've got to FOLLOW YOUR PASSION. You've got

    to figure out WHAT IT IS YOU LOVE--who you REALLY ARE.

    And have the COURAGE to do that. I believe that the only

    courage anybody ever needs is the COURAGE to FOLLOW

    YOUR OWN DREAMS."

    ~ Oprah Winfrey

    SUCCESS IS NOT FINAL ~ FAILURE IS NOT FATAL ~

    IT IS THE COURAGE TO CONTINUE THAT COUNTS!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    "If you trust GOOGLE more than your DOCTOR

    Don't let WORRY and STRESS control you La!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT WORRY ...

    "Some of your HURTS you have CURED,

    And the SHARPEST you still have SURVIVED,

    But what TORMENTS OF GRIEF you ENDURED,

    From the EVIL WHICH NEVER ARRIVED."

    ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

    DO NOT ANTICIPATE TROUBLE OR WORRY ABOUT
    WHAT MAY NEVER HAPPEN.

    WORRY, DOUBT, FEAR, AND DESPAIR ARE THE ENEMIES THAT SLOWLY BRING US DOWN TO THE GROUND AND TURN US TO DUST BEFORE WE DIE.

    WORRY NEVER GETS US ANYWHERE!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Reaching out with some FRIDAY LOVE La!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT TIME ...

    "You wake up in the morning, and LO! your purse is magically filled with 24 HOURS of the magic tissue of the universe of your life.

    NO ONE CAN TAKE IT FROM YOU.

    NO ONE RECEIVES EITHER MORE OR LESS THAN YOU RECEIVE.

    Waste your INFINITELY PRECIOUS COMMODITY as much as you will, and the supply will NEVER BE WITHHELD FROM YOU.

    Moreover, you cannot DRAW ON THE FUTURE. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET INTO DEBT. You can only waste the passing moments. YOU CANNOT WASTE TOMORROW. IT IS KEPT FOR YOU."
     
    ~ Arnold Bennett

    THE GREAT PARADOX OF TIME IS THAT WE NEVER SEEM TO HAVE ENOUGH ~ YET EACH OF US HAVE ALL THERE IS!
