See what Jay and others have to say throughout this unique and elevated chapter. No special effects, or A.I required. The purpose of these episodes is to cast a spotlight on some contemporary independent talent who provide community and also host and coordinate local events throughout NYC.Jay R. Midas has the pleasure of sitting down with a friend and contemporary of the craft, Negus. The episode opens up with an a cappella soundbyte serving as a much needed reminder to, "live in the world". This conversation details Negus's development as an artist, the value of a decade's worth of experience, the formation of the Stoners Circus Series- along with hosting a traveling Open Mic throughout NYC. Wisdom flows through Negus who carries himself with natural humility and leadership. He shares a some gems that may help another on their journey of performing and event hosting. Jay R. Midas closes the episode with a brief sci-fi quandary poetry performance for his guest, "On the Other Side of a Blackhole".*Note from Jay about Negus and his Mic*Negus and his team- Capital Q, Shyyloh, Demi Divine among others cultivate an experience at Stoners Circus Series, currently operating in areas such as Brooklyn and Harlem in NYC.
