Green Tea Soul, a D.C. native, was bit by the music bug at a very early age and got her start like many other artists, singing her heart out at Sunday morning service. With years of practice in front of her congregation and her strong convictions, Green Tea decided to step out on faith and pursue her passion. Out of that decision two full length albums were born, “Have a Cup of Green Tea Dosage I: Shades of Green” and “Dosage II: Choices”. Her growth and potential is more than evident on these two albums. In true artist form Green Tea decided to switch it up a little on her latest mixtape, putting her own twist on songs we all know and love. On “Beautiful Weirdo” you can expect to hear Green Tea’s zealous voice full of crazy runs over classic Outkast beats. If you enjoy Outkast and great vocals you’ll love “Beautiful Weirdo”, which is available online now at Green Tea’s bandcamp site.

Poets are known for weaving words into magnificent metaphors to illustrate the beautiful struggle that is life. And it is imperative that the music played in the venues acts as a soundtrack to the pictures the poets create. And no one does that like South Florida’s own DJ Make It Do What It Do. The premier DJ on the South Florida spoken word scene, DJ MIDWID, as he is affectionately known possess the unparalleled gift of finding the perfect song to compliment any poets performance. A skill that has made him a local crowd and nationally/internationally spoken word artists favorite. The New York native shares his love of music by blending some of latest and greatest R&B, Neo Soul and Hip Hop music to set vibes right and get the crowd feeling both mellow and hype on any given night.

Branching out DJ Make It Do What It Do is currently working on a podcast to bring his ear for music to the masses.

Expanded his horizons to bring various forms of music to the forefront, DJ MIDWID developed Jazzy Fellow Productions.  Through this company he brings his love of Jazz music to the Literary Cafe & Poetry Lounge the last Friday of every month with the event “Jazzy Fridays”, which features some of the best up and coming jazz & soul musicians in South Florida and Poets.  As he quickly gains recognition amongst some of the taste makers of Soul & Hip Hop Music there is no telling where you’ll see DJ Make It Do What It Do in the near future.
