Made in Japan-- Conversations with Meljo Catalan

“It’s a fairytale “, according to my friend, DJ aka DTD, an artist who developed and prospered in the Atlanta, Georgia art scene who eventually brought his talents to the Tokyo jungle.  His quick strides into the local community brought my attention to his art and most importantly his passion.  I appreciate DJ taking his time to share his story as he will undoubtedly make his mark in Japan.

Dear Listeners,  Season 4 is a wrap.  Thank you all for sticking around and listening!   Stay tuned.

It’s time once again to showcase an up and coming singer who’s been getting a lot of buzz in the Tokyo Jazz and R&B scene.  Meet Chloe, establishing herself in Japan as a musical force to be reckoned with.  Alongside with her group Pajaumi, an international neo-soul and experimental jazz quintet, they are making waves in their scene domestic and internationally.  Chloe is also on the brink of launching her solo career.  Join us as we kick back to talk shop as well as sharing the sentiment of “how it feels to be somewhat emo”.

Usually the things we take for granted are the things we can't live without during alarming moments in our lives. All over the world, education is being tested to halt.  Meet Coco who has built her company around these kind of moments.  She also happens to be in the same field of work that I've ended up being in (and thoroughly enjoy doing) over my years as an educator.   However this episode, she will school me in what I don't know and what will be the future of education.  For the traditionalists, we may gripe or assess with scrutiny but companies like Coco's are here to stay.  What she and others like her are building are undoubtedly the education of these times.
