The Promoter
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 
 | 
 | 
The Promoter / Talent Buyer takes a lot of risk when booking club and concert events, especially Freestyle. Many of the so-called Booking Agents know by experience that the chances of a Promoter staying in business very long is slim to none. There are only a handful of promoters today that I have been dealing with for any considerable amount of time. It's no wonder that many of these so-called agents are all about, "Get what you can now, and run!" and though it may be a smart business tactic for their immediate bottom-line, it's detrimental to the genre.
   
SOLICITING, AND TURNING A BLIND EYE TO IMPOSTER ACTS... It's going to destroy what little we have left. Websites, Radio Stations, Message Boards, Facebook Groups and anyone who claims to support Freestyle, yet support "Dummies" in any shape or form, are no better than the "Dummies" themselves, and will get no respect from me, as they should get no respect from others who are trying to make an honest living within the Freestyle genre.
The artist below are  available for bookings. If there is an artist that you are interested in but do not see them on this  roster, please call me. 704-226-8900   Peace Latif Mercado Owner / Agent La' Entertainment Latif@La-Entertainment.com    I can not stress this enough. Please for the sake of The Freestyle community.. STOP PROMOTING, SUPPORTING,

Be one of the first to bring them to your club or concert event.  Call me now!

 | Lil' Suzy   
  Always in high demand, Lil' Suzy is still considered the youngest Freestyle artist to have classic songs. When much of the East Coast gave up on Freestyle. the Lil' Suzy camp took her to the other side of the country and promoted her as a new artist.  It worked, and she worked constantly. La' Entertainment has been a part of that movement since the beginning, and we must say, that Lil' Suzy opened up a lot of doors for many of the artist now frequenting the West Coast... Thanks Suzy! 
 More than five albums worth of great Freestyle music, Suzy has proven her dedication and consistency throughout the years. Her performances are energizing and her memorable songs keep you singing along to every word. her repeat rate is probably The highest of any of the acts on my roster. Suzy is a La' Exclusive artist, but that's cool, if you are an agent, just call me, I'll hook you up. Now let's put Suzy on your calendar. | 
 |     ANGEL "The Original CoverGirl"    
No other Freestyle group has been immitated more than The Cover Girls. But no matter how many immitators there are, no one can even come close to Angel the Original CoverGirl. Amazing performer, phenomenal vocalist, and  the most beautiful woman on the face of the earth...  and I'm not saying that because she's my wife and reading over my shoulder as I write!|   |  | Click Image | 
 One thing that stood out to me about Angel when I first started working with her was, whether she had 5 people or 5,000 people in the audience, she always gave her all, and enjoyed every bit of it. Her magnetic personality is extremely vibrant and if I don't take her by the hand and say, "We gotta go" she'll hang out and talk with every single fan in your audience. promoters love her and she too has an amazing repeat rate. Give me a call, lets talk, and if you never had Angel perform at your event, you don't know what you're missing. Angel is also La' Exclusive!

 |  S.A.L.    Suzy   Angel  Lisette   
   .   Click Here For More Info
 What the hell was Latif thinking when he put together the ultimate Freestyle package and named it after his long time nemesis?"The S.A.L. Concept, established in 2004, stemmed from a personal problem of my own. While on the road with Lil' Suzy for over 20 years, things got really stressful when I got involved with Angel and began rebuilding her performance career. Between these two ladies, I was accumilating crazy flyer miles and a bad back from flying so much. I had Suzy working in markets such as San Jose, Dallas and Chicago.  Angel in Los Angeles, Detroit and New York. The only options I had were either getting another Road Manager or booking their shows together, the girls crushed the first option. But now the challenge was, how was I going to cross-book them. I figured I needed a bridge, a third person to fill in the market gaps, opening for us the entire country. I booked Lisette Melendez along with Angel at a club in Rode Island one night and we shared a limo.  It gave me about four hours each way to get to know Lisette.
 That night I told Angel, "I think I found the bridge"  The next morning I was on the phone with Lisette. she was cool with the idea, but I could hear a little hesitation in her voice, well of course, she didn't really know me or what I could possibly do. Two weeks later, I booked the girls to do a car show for Low Rider Magazine in Indiana. I had 4 show tapes that I produced and burned to CD and brought 3 CD walkmans with me.  The girls hooked up for the firt time at Newark Airport. I had made sure that I had them seated together.  Once they entered the plane and were seated, I handed them the walkmans and show tapes and told them to put something together.  This task would tell me alot, and pretty much predict how doable this project might actually be. We landed in Indiana, the limo picked us up and rushed us directly to the venue. The girls ran into the dressing room to freshen up and change, and from there right on to the stage in front of over 8,000 people. I was a nervous wreck, had no idea what to expect. But as I watched, a magical thing happened as each girl brought what they were each famous for to the table. The crowd wouldn't stop cheering. They did it, and I was exhausted!   I knew right then, we had something special. "If you are yet to experience an S.A.L. performance, what are you waiting for? S.A.L. is also a La' Exclusive act!   | 
 |    You know him for hit's like "Ooh Child", "I Like It", and of course "Summer Girls." Now is your chance to check him out live. Give me a call and let's talking about bringing DINO to your next event.

 |  Man, I thought I would never hear from this group again, and then I'm at a concert and there they are!  They haven't changed a bit. I use to run into them on the road all the time and my boy LB would yell out to me, "Yo La' what's up with the shows?" Then I did it, and got him on one of the biggest Freestyle Tours that was happening at the time, everyone loved their show, and so will you. Freestyle is currently on the road and might be passing through your town. Give me a call!

Rodney O is to the West Coast what Rob Base is to us here on the East. I  have been truly blessed by my position in this business to have had the  opportunity to experience first hand, artist from all over, such as Rodney O. Hey  Promoters, give me a call, and let's get Rodney to your next event. | 
 |  LISETTE MELENDEZ
  She gave Freestyle it's cool edge,and crossed it over into the Hip Hop realm with her hit Goody Goody. Lisette Melendez has always been one of my favorites and when I envisioned who the 3rd member of S.A.L might be, she immediately came to mind. It's a pleasure working with her.

Don't be put off by my use  of the term "B-List". 
But rather, my use of the adjective,   which is  "Magnificent!" 
I've been around the Freestyle scene long enough to have  experienced the full spectrum of talent available to our genre, and  though many on this List  may not have had their fair shot at the market,that does not take from the fact,
 that many of them are indeed...     |

 Stevie B   No doubt one of Freestyle's all time legends. Stevie is a one man show, a treat to the fans. I met Stevie many years ago at a club called Deco's in Orlando Florida and have booked many shows for him since. Currently he is Freestyle's ultimate Headliner, and you know what? He deserves it, works really hard and handles his business.

When Nocera calls me to check on shows, she never has to say who it is.. She speaks in the same Summer Time voice you've been listening for years. Did you know that Nocera is also a DJ?  That's right and she is currently working that skill into a new routine. Give me a call and lets get Nocera into your club. 
 | 
 |  CORO One of the few shows I myself come out to see. Lots of energy and great songs. I like Coro, he's a good guy, never complains, very professional. I want to get him more Westcoast work.  Give me a call.

 I've been booking Judy for years now. But I would like to book her alot more, the problem is, everyone knows her. She's on New Yorks KTU and has been hosting a Freestyle show there for years. Either way, she's a great performer with great songs. Give me a call, I could book her in no time.

 Yes yes... it's Raj!  But hey, that was back in the day.  have you seen him in "Everybody Hates Chris?  Ernest stays busy. He's a great show host, motivational speaker, teacher, producer, director and did I tell you he's one of my best friends...

 |  |  GEORGE LAMOND   It makes my job really easy when I could recommend an act with total assurance that the promoter and his audience will be pleased. I have to admit, George has gone out his way for me many times, to accomodate my clients and it's never gone unnoticed.If you haven't seen a George LaMond performance, put it on your list, trust me, you won't be dissapointed.

 |  Rob Base  He's done more Freestyle concerts than many of the Freestyle artist themselves, so of course Rob Base had to be added to this Roster Blast. I've booked him numerous times and he is yet to let me or my clients down. If you are booking a Freestyle concert and want to add a little spice to it, Rob Base is the perfect ingredient. Easy to work with and well worth his asking.

 BABY BASH
    Being born and raised on the East Coast all of my life, I know that if it wasn't for my involvement in this business I wouldn't have had the opportunity to experience the West Coast's incredibly talented artist. From Frankie J, to Angelina, Skee-Lo and now Baby Bash, I have to admit it, The West Coast definitely has it going on. My advice to my East Coast promoters.. Come on, give them a try, I promise you will not be disappointment.     BOOK THIS ARTIST NOW

|  LISA  LISA Lisa Lisa will bring you back to some really great times in your life.  I've been booking her for a long time now. Always a pleasure to work with and she has gone out of her way many times to make things easy for me. I was always a fan myself so it's an amazing experience for me to work with her.  Her camp is great to deal with, very trustworthy, not a word I use much these days. Lisa Lisa is another great Headliner. You know what, give me a call right now... Let's book Lisa!
 
 
 
 |  |  Rapper's Delight   Feat. Wonder Mike and Master Gee with HenDogg and DJ T Dynasty Talk about a group that will bring you back to an incredible  time. This was the group I wanted to be down with growing up... and so did every other aspiring rapper who many made their own mark in the genre. Book these guys today and watch your audiences reaction as they take stage.... Magical! 
 
 
 I don't call it Old School ... I call it Classic!

 |  CONNIE She has lots of songs and a full performance, but with a song like "Funky Little Beat", she really doesn't need much more than that. Connie is very accomodating and easy to work with.

 |    SOAVE    Video Coming Soon!         | 
 |  NOEL Yea yea we know, he shouldn't smoke, but hey, it's Noel! Gotta admit though, pretty cool pose!  Must I tell you the songs he sings? Of course I don't, he is a great performer and takes is job really serious. If you are a Freestyle promoter, chances are, you've seen his show and probably had him before, so come on, lets brings him back!
 
 
     | 
 |  THE JETS Do I really have to remind you of who this group is?  Though the promo picture shows just four of them, events that I have sent them to have seen up to nine of them performing on stage.  I have to admit, The Jets have become one of my favorites.
 
 
 Have you seen this video?

 Frankie J
  Spending much time on the WestCoast with Lil' Suzy, I was pretty familiar with Frankie J, way back when he was with the Kumbia Kings. Though I thought it was a great group, Frankie always stood out and of course, it's because he was always meant to fly solo.  Interested in booking Frankie J to perform at your event? Give me a call, and let's get him there.

 Video Coming Soon!
    |  |  TRINERE I've been booking Trinere for a few years now, and one thing I can say is, my promoters always call to thank me afterwards. Trinere was introduced to me by LB from the group Freestyle, and we've maintained a heathy working relationship ever since. Trinere was one of the first successful Freestyle acts to come out of South Florida and though she's still exremely popular through out Florida, her name and music has transcend state lines. Trinere stays pretty busy, but there's always room for another show. So come on, give me a call. 
 
 | 
 
|  PLANET PATROL  Now this was the vibe I was on growing up. Whenever I hear Play It At Your Own Risk, it brings to mind so many great memories. That's my boy Herb Jackson in the middle. These guys are really good and the songs bring you way back. 
 
   
  |  
|  EGYPTIAN LOVER Hey make sure when you book Egypt you tell him how long you want the set, he might not stop! I met Egypt at a show in Denver not too long ago and him and I kicked it off. What are you waiting for? Call me and lets get Egyptian Lover at your event.
 
 
 |  
|  BRENDA K. STARR 
 Who doesn't know Brenda K. Starr? Ballads are one of the hardest things to entertain an audience with, but Brenda shows us how it's done. Oh yeah, she's got tons of songs, covering both Freestyle and Salsa. But a Brenda K. Starr show isn't complete without her performance of "I Still Believe".
 
 
 Video Coming Soon!      |  | ROBIN S

|  JOHNNY O When you look up the word "Energy" you'll see a picture of Johnny O performing for a crowd of die-hard Freestyle fans. Again, whether alone or performing his duet with Cynthia, Johnny never fails his audience.
 
 
 |  
|  DEBBIE DEB Most of the time I can't even hear Debbie singing, because the crowd is singing along. Her songs are straight-up "Party" and her performance goes perfectly with it.
 
 
 Video Coming Soon!    |  
|  TIMMY T Great guy, easy to work with, and I'll tell you, when Timmy's on stage, there's is definitly a party going on... on stage that is! If you seen a Timmy T show, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
 
 
 
  |  
|  EXPOSE'   This classy act needs no introduction. They bridged the gap between Freestyle and Pop releasing hit after hit. Well they're back and available for bookings. 
Give me a call.     |  
|  VANILLA ICE When we all saw Surreal Life with Vanilla Ice, you have to admit, he is a character. But don't think that's all he's doing.  Ice performs all over the country and his repeat rate is pretty high. His name alone will draw a crowd.
 
 
 
 |  
|  PRETTY POISON        Jade Starling, award winning singer/ songwriter of the platinum hit "Catch Me I'm Falling"  Along with co-founder, musician/producer/ arranger Whey Cooler, are "Pretty Poison." Your audience will forever be greatful. Call me now!
 
 
 |  
|  CYNTHIA Whether by herself or performing her duet with Johnny O, Cynthia is probably one of  the most recognized artist in the market. Great to work with and a definite draw to your event.

|  TAVARES Talk about feelin good? What group can make you feel better than this one. A classic and timeless act.
