Laiya's World: Inside The Studio With Kenny Gamble And Dyana Williams
Laiya's World:
Inside The Studio With Kenny Gamble And Dyana Williams
Living legend Kenny Gamble is the pride of Philadelphia and a true reflection of the "American Dream." It was Kenny Gamble and his partner Leon Huff who put Philadelphia on the musical map. Not only has he been responsible for over 170 Gold and Plantinum records, but he has also been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and awarded a Lifetime Achievement Grammy, just to name a few accolades. He also reinvested his time and money back into his community more than any other music mogul to date.
While Kenny Gamble's achievements are both remarkable and commendable, it is the journey that led him to these accomplishments that make his story even more significant, inspirational and motivational.
One of Kenny Gamble's most prolific and influential efforts to date has to be the creation of Black Music Month. It was through the minds and efforts of Kenny Gamble and legendary Philadelphia radio host, artist development coach and founder of the International Association of African American Music (IAAAM), Dyana Williams, that Black Music Month came to fruition. Watch Dyana talk about the evolution of Black Music Month here.
Join It's the Life Creative and Philly 360 on Sunday, June 26, as we go “Inside the Studio” with Kenny Gamble, including a special conversation on the birth and progress of black music and its month with Dyana Williams.
This is a free, RSVP only event! The link to RSVP will be released soon! Join our Facebook GROUP to stay up to date and SAVE THE DATE!!
