Vivica A. Fox Launches Hustling With Vivica A. Fox


Vivica A. Fox is one of the hardest working women in Hollywood, with a career spanning over 30 years. Recently, she added author to her impressive resume, with her book, Every Day I'm Hustling. The message of the book is that you make your own luck, you never wake up thinking someone’s going to call you and offer you that part, ask you out on that date, or change your life; instead, YOU change your life. Vivica hustles in every aspect of her life and has learned many lessons while creating a lasting career, through sheer, roll-up-your-sleeves, hard work.

Vivica’s podcast will harness her personal experience and hustle to help listeners with relationships, career, style, sex, self-esteem, and will give an unfiltered look into her life. An avid sports fan, Vivica will deliver her own spin on athletes and games.  

Vivica A. Fox has built a multifaceted career in film, television, and business and one woman’s been by her side for three decades, attorney and producer Lita Richardson. These two forged a friendship and business partnership that changed the course of their lives and now they’ll help others to build the right squad with the right people to open new opportunities.  In a culture that tells women they need to compete, Vivica believes women build opportunity, success, and power when they stick together – and she and Lita have the stories to prove it. From a chance meeting at a party thrown by Magic Johnson to producing a film together at Sundance to signing the deal for the Vivica A. Fox Hair Collection, find out how this duo built one of Hollywood’s longest-running and most successful careers.

Entertaining, informative and intimate, hear how Lita talked Vivica into a prenup, talked her out of quitting Celebrity Apprentice, and why she was unable to talk any sense into her during the infamous 50 Cent breakup! Listeners will feel like they are eavesdropping on two girlfriends who just happen to hang out with Will Smith and Snoop Dogg.

Under The Lake Releases 'Your Horizon Too'



       
 
In February when announcing the coming release of jazz-funk band Under The Lake’s “Your Horizon Too” album, the story that inspired the new record was chronicled about the chance reunion between keyboardist-songwriter-producer Jayson Tipp and the group’s former saxophonist-flutist Quintin Gerard W. 

Two weeks prior to the album release date, which dropped Friday on the Mind In Overdrive label, Gerard took ill from COVID-19. After enduring a miserable fortnight, he finally turned the corner and is on the road to recovery as the album dropped. But the scare brought the reality of the novel coronavirus and the message behind the outfit’s fifth album into context for Tipp.   

“This extraordinary time reminds us how important the people in our lives are. We feel like our recording of The Stylistics’ track “People Make The World Go ‘Round” from ‘Your Horizon Too’ hits home as we think about the special people in our lives,” said the Portland, Oregon-based Tipp. “When I consider how Quintin and I reconnected two years ago when he happened to tune in while I was doing a live radio interview, picked up the phone and called in…I mean, that’s kind of random. That led to a reunion with other original Under The Lake members – special friends - to create ‘Your Horizon Too,’ an album about how although we may have different perspectives, we all share the same horizon, a shared point of connectivity that unites everyone much like this global battle unites us to combat the virus.” 

The core four who formed Under The Lake decades ago – Tipp, Gerard, bassist Nathan Brown and drummer Richard Sellers - reunited in a San Diego recording studio to track “Your Horizon Too” where they were supplemented by guitarist Patrick Yandall. The chemistry between the players returned instantly. The setlist mixing jazz, funk, fusion, and rhythm & soul consists of ten tunes penned by Tipp along with a couple of reworked classics – the aforementioned “People Make The World Go ‘Round” and Steely Dan’s vibey “Josie.” The first single that inspired the album title, “It’s Your Horizon Too,” is a Tipp-Gerard collaboration that is presently working its way onto playlists. Tipp is in the process of assembling a video clip for the track for which each player shot his part at home.   

Concert dates to support the release of “Your Horizon Too” have been scrapped for now, but Tipp is hopeful that new listeners will discover the collection, encouraged by messages from fans who were quick to tap into new music from Under The Lake.

“We realize that it’s an odd time for everyone. We’re all out of sorts having to stay at home. Folks are streaming content like never before. We know music is a salve for people and we’re just honored that our fans are turning to us. We hope that everyone is looking and moving forward to the horizon out there in front of us as we get through this together but socially distanced apart. And that’s the meaning and the message of the particularly apt album and single titles: we’re all in this together and it’s everyone’s horizon.”
