Hola my GFM fam!!! I just want to take this time to give you a peek at our listening party with Yahzarah at Mood’s Music last Friday. Once again, it was a great turn out with our partners the Music Addikts and Harmony In Life. Check out Yahzarah’s beautiful and soulful performance along with special guests, The Remnants and female artist, Salakida. Also, check out Yahzarah’s new album,”The Ballad of Purple Saint James” Hope you enjoy!! (more…)

Thanks to all who came out and supported the 1st Hit Listening Lounge with Yahzarah last night at Moods Music. Great food, great crowd and Yahzarah is as beautiful and sweet as she is talented. Tonight the fun continues at Masquerade with the return of The Foreign Exchange to Atlanta. Hope to see you there!
