I.T.I.S ENT Presents - Open Mic - Organized / Hosted by J. Sharelle

I had been invited to an open mic going on at LIU - Brooklyn Campus .. And due to my love for the indie arts; I was automatically intrigued!

Upon my arrival I seen those involved hard at work prepping for the show to begin ( Yes I got there early). Between sound checks, seating set up and having people sign disclosure papers, this team was on top of it! Its always good to see a team getting things done for the cause, I know that's what they were there for, but its not always the case that you see it actually happening, trust me I know how hard it is to get a good TEAM together.

Nonetheless, the event went off without a hitch.. Host and Orchestrator of the event Miss J. Sharelle did a great job in engaging the crowd, even throwing in a few of her own pieces of spoken word/poetry. One thing that stood out to me is the fact that she demanded the audiences respect, letting everyone know that talking, walking around and other forms of disrespect to the artist would not be tolerated. I so much respected her for he announcements regarding this because in comparison to other open mics I've attended in the past, there was tons of talking during performances, and people getting up and leaving after the person they came to see performed.. All of which throw off NOT only the artists, but other members of the audience who would still like to stick around and enjoy the talent. So for that I was appreciative.

The overall event was amazing - got to meet, mix, and mingle with some amazingly dope up and coming artist. Great talent was definitely in the building. The good vibes continued even passed the last performance. Avena Lounge was filled with artists, and audience members laughing and interacting, exchanging contact info and even ended up having a mini photo shoot with the remaining performers. So in more ways then one the event turned from an event to showcase talents to a networking mixer in it's own right! Loved it
