YEA CHRISTMAS
The Michigan Christmas Album project began earlier this year when featured recording artist, Marcell Whitfield, approached Your Entourage Agency, Inc.

Executive producer Kimberly Simpson greenlighted the project (with a holiday twist) and partnered with the DCC to help the organization generate awareness and showcase its performers.
Along with performances by the Detroit Children’s Choir, The Michigan Christmas Album includes original songs written and performed by artists Marcell Whitfield, Aspen Jacobsen, and Tyler Soncrainte. Singers Noah Hardecki and Jayquan Curtis of the DCC are featured soloists.

YEA Talent Performed a traditional South African dance for the movie premier of The Parricidal Effect
Zulu Production
The Zulu Production came about due to the Producer and Director of the motion film project Parricidal Effect, Ryan Davey, is from South Africa. For the premier of the Parricidal Effect movie, Ryan Davey and Kim Simpson decided to surprise the audience with a dance performance showing the art of Zulu dancing and to create a stage play script to tell a story about how two very different cultures and tribes initially clash and later through a process of illumination, are able to discover each other’s strengths and sensitivities. They use the awareness for the greater good of their well-being and together protect their world from being destroyed by their adversaries.
This stage play is being considered for a movie screen play in the near future called “Deep Forest”. Stay tuned!
