  • Bio

    .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. ........ Before a butterfly becomes the beautiful creature it is known to be, it must first go through a detailed and often painful process. A butterfly is a living testament to the truths that sometimes, struggle produces strength and pain gives birth to purpose. Given such, its more than fitting that Darlene Solomon-Rogers, a poet , singer songwriter and activist raised in NE Portland is known as Blacque Butterfly. Blacque Butterfly self-published a limited edition chapbook, titled BLACK GIRL, CAN I COMB YOUR HAIR? She is currently soliciting a publisher to re-release the work, in an expanded version, to the mainstream. In the meantime, shes making a name for her self via independent promotion which will included the release of her debut album, a socially conscious mix of melodies and slammin beats featuring collaborations with some of the industry's hottest indie artist. Speaking of artist, Blacque Butterfly has shared the stage with KRS One,Dead Prez,Liv Warfield, Blacknotes, Lifesavas,Ray Frazier,Rochell D. Ro Deezy Hart,Sirens Echo,Mic Crenshaw,Hungry Mob, Sucka Punch,Auditory Sculpture,The Light,Chris Lay,Ian James,LaRhonda Steele &Doo Doo Funk Allstars to name a few. In 2005, Darlene was one of three poets featured on Say It Loud Volume 1 a spiritually focused mixtape produced by the world-famous O.G. One, who appeared twice on BET' Rap City / In The Basement. Poetry was initially a form of self-therapy for Blacque Butterfly and as others became aware of her talent, it became a form of therapy for her coffee shop listeners as well. A survivor of domestic violence, Darlene is spiritually, emotionally and soulfully dedicated to helping those who have survived abuse including men and children. She is also an actor who participants in the theatre of the oppressed. She is a founding member of the SC (Spiritual Clan) a group of performers, writers and activists whom have vowed to make a change in their community. Darlene believes that through her misery God has given her a ministry. She mentors youth and single mothers. She volunteers as a motivational speaker for women in domestic violence shelters. She has worked with non-profit organization assisting homeless youth and displaced families. She released Collide- A -Scope a compellation of spokenword music and sound in May 2006. New works are slated to release early 2011. These works will include Butterfly's songwriting talents . You can purchase Collide-A-Scope at ..cdbaby.com.. .... ...... .. .... .. ..........Your Life Path Number is 5.................. Your purpose in life is to life freely and collect experiences... .. You love life - new adventures, new people, new ideas... You are very curious, and you crave novelty in all forms... You tend to make friends easily, and you enjoy the company of all types of people... .. In love, you are fun and even a bit intoxicating. But you won't stick around for long... .. You are impulsive and spontaneous - which sometimes leads you to do things you regret... Sometimes you can be overindulgent with food, sex, or drugs... You have many talents, so many that you are often scattered and unfocused. ..........What Is Your Life Path Number?.... .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .......... .......... .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Groups: Actor/Performer/Activist (Theatre of the Oppressed) ..

  • Big Lou "The Lyrical As…

    "Domestic violence causes far more pain than the visible marks of bruises and scars. It is devastating to be abused by someone that you love and think loves you in return. It is estimated that approximately 3 million incidents of domestic violence are reported each year in the United States."

    Thanks for being friends with Fair Trade Music PDX! As you know, we're still gathering intelligence about how venues in town are treating their bands. So far, the story's not too good, but a few of them looks like they might be willing to man up and pay musicians some kind of guaranteed minimum wage - the kind that is the law for dishwashers, janitors, bartenders, and every other service worker in the club. Help us identify those venues! If you haven't already, please take a few minutes to complete our online survey. It’s completely anonymous, incredibly simple, and is essential to moving Fair Trade Music into the next level of venue implementation.

    The survey is at: http://fairtrademusicpdx.org/?q=node/275

    It’s a cliché because it’s true – WE CAN’T DO THIS WITHOUT YOUR HELP!

    Thanks, and Solidarity,
    Fair Trade Music PDX

    On June 14, 2010 we will be accepting submissions from artists interesting in performing in front of 25 to 50 representatives from the 4 Major Recording Labels and several of the top Independent Record Labels.

    This will occur over two consecutive weekends. One weekend in New York and one weekend in Los Angeles over two days that will feature 15 of the top bands selected to perform each night at one location. In doing it this way every band that performs WILL BE SEEN by ever representative attending. Unlike SXSW and other such music conferences where if you’re not at the one or two locations where all the label representatives hang out, you’ll ever be seen, and it was a complete waste of your time and money.

    NO COST or FEES, other than the artist’s own travel expenses. Compete details and submission procedures shall be posted on our MySpace page June 14, 2010. WE SHALL NOT ACCEPT ANY SUBMISSIONS UNTIL THAT DATE.

    And here is why we are committing a considerable amount of time and resources to this opportunity:

    Sonicbids is an Artist and Promoters Worst Nightmare

    Recently we began a trial usage of Sonicbids’ service for our artist and band searches.

    As a result of that test it became clear that Sonicbids is all about earning money at the expense of artists looking to break through the wall that surrounds the music industry.

    Based on our experiences from both the perspective of artists we are associated with seeking to benefit from opportunities offered though Sonicbids. As well as from the perspective of promoters searching for talent through Sonicbids service.
