<b>I'm </b><a href="http://www.tamarawellonsmusic.com" title="" target="">Tamara Wellons</a>,<b> a singer and songwriter, and teaching artist</b> working on the release of Songs for Janie, a concept album based on the literature of Zora Neale Hurston. "Their Eyes Were Watching God" was one of those books I was quite&nbsp;enthralled&nbsp;with every detail. I honestly did not expect it to be a love story, which I am quite a sucker for. I claim parts of this story as my own. Its&nbsp;relatedness to many women is the reason why I think its important to tell in song.<p>This project started when I went to<a href="http://www.lilsoso.com" title="" target=""> Risikat Okedeyi,</a> the concept creator, and asked her to come up with a creative direction to take the music i had already been working on. It was May 2009 when the idea was birthed and here we are now 80% done with the recording. Lots of "life" happened between then and now personally.&nbsp;</p><p>And in perfect timing, Brooke Kid from Joe's Movement agreed to present the musical concert production at <b>Joe's Movement Emporium in Mt. Rainier, MD, where I&nbsp;grew&nbsp;as a teaching artist, instructing camps and classes for the children in that neighborhood.&nbsp;</b></p><p>In my music career, I started my own company Kollibri Music and have released an album, an EP, several <b>house/dance music singles with legendary producers, featured on Thievery Corporation's album, "Culture of Fear," and performed at venues such as, Jazz Cafe in London.</b></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
