George “Iz” Correia is a BMI Songwriter, Artist, Artist Manager, Road Manager and Music Historian.

Born in Massachusetts and raised in New Jersey, George “Iz” Correia has been a huge lover of music since infancy. As a schoolboy, he was involved in many facets of the arts including singing, songwriter, dancer and model. He was obsessed with vinyl collecting, radio and nightlife in NYC and NJ in the 80’s & 90’s.

George got his professional start in the Entertainment business doing freelance work with a friend who worked for Emmis Communications. Their properties included jazz station CD 101.9, Hip-hop station Hot 97.1 and R&B station 98.7 KISS FM in New York City. He would assist in production concepts and organize various community outreach events, concerts and parties for the radio personalities. He was also summoned to book various recording artists with some of the events, which lead to many friendships and management opportunities. He has worked with many classic artists such as Linda Clifford, Crystal Waters and Rochelle Fleming, (the lead singer of “First Choice”.)

He was featured and contributed to the 2013 book authored by James Arena, “The First Ladies of Disco” and was featured on TVOne’s television biograpghy documentary, “UNSUNG” with Crystal Waters.

Although he still tours the world with classic artists, now he has joined Basement Boys Records and is working on various songwriting projects with co-founder, Teddy Douglas.

GO BANG! Magazine: What was it that sparked off an interest in you to become professionally involved in the Music industry as an Artist Manager?

George “Iz” Correia: I had always been interested in having a career in music, since infancy. Initially, I had wanted to be more involved on the creative side of the business. However, a friend of mine, who was employed by the now defunct 98.7 KISS-FM (WRKS) in NYC ,was the founder of a Gospel group, Beyond Blessed.

After being invited to see his group perform, I had started asking questions pertaining to business and his vision for his group. After providing him with few suggestions and ideas, he had asked me if I would work on marketing campaigns and represent his group. It was real exciting and I was able to have the group open for: The Clark Sisters, Tramaine Hawkins, and Richard Smallwood, among others. In addition, I was able to assist in writing, producing and arranging songs for his debut album. It was a great starting point, but I wanted to work with secular artists and music. My focus was on House music.

GO BANG! Magazine: As a BMI Songwriter, you’ve written songs for various artists. Could you please name a few of the artists you’ve written for, or some of the song titles?

George “Iz” Correia: Well, songwriting has been sort of a new venture for me. I have done some writing, sporadically, over the years. Like I had mentioned, I co-wrote songs for a gospel group, but being on the road makes it a little difficult to focus and create. I have teamed up with The Basement Boys’ Teddy Douglas. He has been so encouraging and really likes my writing. We have the best time when we collaborate. I wrote and co-wrote for Rochelle Fleming, “Nobody’s Fool” and the #1 Traxsource hit, “I’m Gonna Give it to You” with Teddy as the producer. Teddy has brought me on as a writer for Basement Boys Records and we have a couple of amazing projects that involve a few different classic artists. I am so excited about this, but I can’t really talk about it right now.
GO BANG! Magazine: You’re also an artist yourself. How would you describe your musical style?
George “Iz” Correia: My songwriting style I would describe as eclectic. I love to inject a little humor and clever word play. That is what Teddy (and others) likes about my writing. As a songwriter, I don’t have to necessarily write from my own personal experience. Sometimes I write from other people’s perspectives. In 2016, Rochelle Fleming released a song I had written and produced by Teddy Douglas called, “Nobody’s Fool.” The lyrics came from a telephone conversation Rochelle and I were having. Rochelle was not used to a songwriter writing about something that was specifically going on in her life at that time. There is nothing more validating than people relating to a song you have written.

GO BANG! Magazine: You’re currently managing the legendary Rochelle Flemming, of the iconic disco group First Choice, who recorded “Let No Man Put Asunder (It’s Not Over.)” What are some of your main goals for her new solo career, as her Manager?

George “Iz” Correia: Rochelle’s solo career is not new at all. First Choice had disbanded around 1980 and Rochelle took some time off. In 1986, “Let No Man Put Asunder” got remixed and became this huge club anthem. Rochelle went back out on the road as a solo artist and never looked back. She has had solo success with club hits, “Love Itch”, “Suffer The Consequences” and others. Rochelle hired me as her personal manager while I was still working with the gospel group about 12 years ago. This was right before social media became the huge entity that it is now. I had to completely revamp everything, from her image to her performance tracks, and introduce her into the internet age as a solo artist. It was a lot of work and I think my forwardness frightened her in the beginning since Rochelle is a creature of habit and not comfortable with a lot of change. Once she saw that everything started to fall in place, she started to develop this amazing confidence. As a manager, it is your job to build a strong trust with the artist. She could never go back to being in a “girl group” even if she was the founder & lead singer.

My goal for Rochelle was to make sure she enjoyed the fruits of her labor and have fun. I said to her, “Ro, I can’t promise you millions of dollars, but you are going to get your props while you are living.” Since then, she has received close to 10 Lifetime Achievement awards from different organizations. Her current music is different from her tenure with, First Choice. I didn’t want Rochelle to be a “victim” in the new material, especially anything that I write for her. I wanted her to be strong, independent and calling the shots.

GO BANG! Magazine: The late Loleatte Holloway is arguably the “Queen of House.” You knew her personally and professionally. Is there anything memorable that you can recall about her or her legacy?

George “Iz” Correia: I got to know Loleatta through my association with Rochelle & Tom Moulton. She was a very, sweet down-to-earth person with a very big personality. You can tell that she didn’t take any mess from anyone either. There were only a few people who could talk to her “any ‘ole way” and Rochelle was one of them. My other client, Linda Clifford was also very good friends with Loleatta. I happened to be on the road with Linda when she had passed away. Loleatta’s legacy is her iconic music, her fiery, passionate vocals and being one of the most sampled voices in music. She is sorely missed.

GO BANG! Magazine: As a fan of House music, how does it feel to be working with artists who songs you grew up on and loved?

George “Iz” Correia: It’s been an amazing ride to rub elbows and work with the artists that I thought I would only get to know by just buying their records or hearing them on the radio. There have been so many wonderful producers, writers, and DJ’s. One of the perks that I really love is hearing, not just stories behind the songs, but hearing about their own personal lives and experiences. It’s really inspiring and an honor that they feel comfortable to open themselves up to me. I feel very lucky and a wonderful sense of belonging.

GO BANG! Magazine: You’ve worked with classic legends, as well as current chart-topping artists. Which artist or artists would be your dream artist(s) to manage, and why?

George “Iz” Correia: I am having an amazing time working with many classic artists who still top the charts. I get to travel to places I never knew existed, and made many friends. Since we are all getting older and so many artists are leaving us, I want to branch off into more songwriting and get back to the creative side of music. Most of the artists I admire currently have representation.

GO BANG! Magazine: How has being a Music Historian enhanced your life and career?

George “Iz” Correia: Well, Music Historian is another word for, “Music Geek” and I wear it proudly. I love ALL types of music. I was the guy who would read the liner notes on all of the albums I bought. Knew all of record labels, musicians, producers you name it. I loved the radio and listened 24-7. Radio personality, Casey Kasem was my idol. He had so much knowledge and passion for the songs he was playing and I was his student. So, when I starting meeting these artist, I was hitting them with knowledge that the average fan wouldn’t know. It impressed them and they loved it. My knowledge of their work really helped me get my foot in the door. I have had some artists ask if I was a reporter on the side. 😆

GO BANG! Magazine: What advice would you give someone that is interested in pursuing a career in Artist Management?

George “Iz” Correia: It is important to educate yourself on all aspects of the business of music. Learn about royalties & publishing. Also, be realistic on what you bring to the table when it comes to representation. Get to really know the artist. Ask a lot of questions. Having the ability to be quick on your feet will really be beneficial. Be mindful of your actions because you never know who is watching. Tom Moulton gave me the best advice, “Iz, the artist is NEVER supposed to be the heavy.” He was right!

GO BANG! Magazine: In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has caught the world off-guard. How are you dealing with it?

George “Iz” Correia: Although everything is on hold now, everyone needs to be smart and safe. I am not used to being so sedentary this time of year, but there is always something to do. I believe that this pandemic is forcing people to redefine their terms.

Marcus Ben Balenton is a guy I met as a teenager in 1984. He was attending McCosh grammar school, on the south side of Chicago. I was attending Kenwood Academy in Hyde Park, although I lived in South Shore. At that time, I was DJ Playerre and was mixing with my brother Dorado aka DJ Jock, my uncle Varsai aka Big Time, and my cousin Cedric aka The Fly. We were known as DJ Jock and the Paramedics. My cousin Cedric introduced me and Marc and the rest is history. He’s the lil bro I never had and I’m the big bro he never had. We were no longer friends, we are brothers.

We and Marc vibed right from the start and I saw that he took an interest in learning how to mix. We started hanging out regularly, mixing my friends with his and vice versa. One day, he asked if he could learn to mix and I was more than happy to show him. Basically, I asked him, “Can you count? If so you can mix. All that you have to do is count the beats, 1,2,3,4 and do the same with the song you’re about to mix in. When they get on beat, bring it in! He caught on immediately, and has never stopped. DJ “Dawg Howse was born!
Since then, he has achieved great success and has DJ’d with several prominent DJs, including DJ Gene Hunt, as well as others.
GO BANG! Magazine: How and when did you get involved in the DJ game?

DJ Marc B: I got in the game in 1984. I loved watching the greats, and I also noticed that the ladies loved the DJs.

GO BANG! Magazine: How would you describe your DJ style?

DJ Marc B: It’s hard to describe my style, because I cover all spectrums of House.

GO BANG! Magazine: What DJs inspire or motivate you?

DJ Marc B: The DJs that inspired me are DJ Playerre, Ron Hardy, Frankie Knuckles, DJ Jocko, and Gene Hunt.

GO BANG! Magazine: You’ve been a part of the House community since the early years. How has House changed to you?

DJ Marc B: House has changed me in so many ways. It gave me comfort with the music, it also gave my peers and an outlet to do something, other than just hanging out.

GO BANG! Magazine: If you had the opportunity to share the stage with any DJs, who would they be, and why?

DJ Marc B: If I could share the stage with a DJ, it would be Steve “JM Silk” Hurley, because I’ve always wanted to, since the 80’s. I love his energy. He’s always been one of my idols. I forgot to mention him earlier, as one of the DJs that inspire me.

GO BANG! Magazine: You are a member of a DJ squad. Tell us more about it and the members.

DJ Marc B: I am a member of “The Original 4 Deep DJz.” The group was formed on January 17, 2017, and the group members are DJ Dink, DJ Major, and DJ Marc B aka Dawg-Howse. The thing that I love about this group is that no two DJs sound the same.

GO BANG! Magazine: If you weren’t a DJ, would you still be in the music industry. If not, what would you be doing?

DJ Marc B: Yes I would, because music is my life. I don’t think the world could survive without music. I’m grateful to you, my teacher, Pierre “DJ Playerre” Evans.
GO BANG! Magazine: Some DJs play for the crowd and some DJs play for themselves. How do you determine what songs you’re going to play at a gig?

DJ Marc B: I play for the crowd, I don’t come in with a plan I go where the music takes me.

GO BANG! Magazine: Is it true, that you have a secret passion to do comedy. Can you tell our readers more about that passion?

DJ Marc B: It’s not a secret, I pursued it. I did “Stand Up” for two years in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. To me, comedy and music go hand and hand. I feel that to be able to make people laugh and dance is a two for one.
GO BANG! Magazine: In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has caught the world off-guard. How are you dealing with it?

DJ Marc B: I still have to go to work. But, when I get home, I jam out and get lost in the music, thinking about when this is over, the fun we will have this summer.

DA Smart = Devastating Abolisher Smashing Mostly Around Ruff Territories

“Chicago! Chicago! My kind of town.”   I’m sure you’re familiar with that song. It’s our hometown anthem.  Did you know that Chicago has another anthem?  This anthem you won’t hear being sang by Frank Sinatra.  Instead, you’ll hear it being rapped and bumping from the speakers of cars on the street.  The other anthem is called “Walk Wit Me” by Chicago’s own DA Smart.  It’s known as Chicago’s “Hood Anthem” because he names every neighborhood within Chicago as well as the corresponding gang within each.  This legendary track was released in 1997, but sounds just as good today.  Unfortunately, the violence that was going on then has gotten even worse.

Now making a comeback, D. A. SMART is choosing to walk in a new direction. Growing up in the Robert Taylor Homes and Altgeld Gardens on the south side of Chicago, he endeavored at a young age to make a name for himself in Chicago Hip Hop as a break dancer. Although known to rap, he did not release his now famous anthem until 1997.

For those wondering what happened to the Black Terror, D.A. Smart is not only still rapping, recording and performing, he started Terror Records (TR) in 2006. And he started it with the intent to bring back his true love – Hip Hop. But TR was also intended to be more than that. TR is intended to be a light in the darkness – to shed light on what is going on in the industry, and to be a light of freedom for artists who are tired of being taken advantage of and want to remain true to their art.

Terror Records is also here to promote positive change in the community. Through neighborhood outreach, working with local business owners, neighborhood activists and reaching out to and working with the youth – helping them to explore their own creative ideas, and show them that there is a healthy way to express themselves – our goal is to assist in breaking the cycle of poverty and violence that plagues our community. 

Now in 2020, TR is taking over the scene. With a stable of artists in place – Tae Bae, (the late) Mz. Lady, Da General, and Tra Cee, the compilation album, “The Reign of Terror”, was released in May 2014. The artists have also been releasing their individual singles, and one listen will let you know that Terror Records is ready to remind the world what REAL Hip Hop sounds like.

Other old school rappers that hail from Chicago are Common, Twista and Da Brat.  It would really be epic if all four of them would collaborate on a NEW track.  The public would love it! 

GO BANG! Magazine:  At what age did you know that you wanted to get into Hip Hop?

DA Smart:   I was 12 years old.

GO BANG! Magazine:  How would you describe your style of Hip Hop?

DA Smart:  Hardcore entertainment!

GO BANG! Magazine: “Walk Wit Me” described the gangs in each neighborhood. Why?

DA Smart:  I wanted to represent Chicago from my vantage point.  I wanted to describe the things that I saw every day.

GO BANG! Magazine:  What do you think about Chicago’s gang presence now?

DA Smart:  It’s different.

GO BANG! Magazine:  Tell our readers about your record label, Terror Records, Inc.

DA Smart:  Terror Records Incorporated is a label created by myself in 2006, after I had been signed to the major label known as RCA.  Me, along with other partners in Chicago, created the label everyone knows as Creators Way Associated.  I came up with Terror Records to create a “fair Institution” for artists and businessmen alike, to share in the coffers of what’s created from this thing we all love…music.

GO BANG! Magazine:  What projects are you currently working on?

DA Smart:  Well, we are currently working on a project that is to commemorate one of our members that passed away named Cabrina “Mz. Lady” Smith.  The song is called “Missing You.”  Stay tuned to https://www.youtube.com/user/T3RRORR3CORDS for that.  Also, we will be releasing Mz. Lady’s new single and video “OOOOWEEE”  ft. Tra Cee, the songbird of Terror Records.  I will be having a single release of a song called “Put The Shoulder On Em” and Terror Records will have new releases from Da General, Tra Cee, and Tae Bae this year.

GO BANG! Magazine:  What types of community involvement are you associated with?

DA Smart:  Where ever I am in the community, I’m involved. I work with everyone, but affiliated to none.

GO BANG! Magazine:  What do you think about the current rap music on the radio?

DA Smart:  I think some of the music on the radio is dope, but I also think some of the music on the radio is trash.  The problem with hip hop on radio is that there is no balance.

GO BANG! Magazine:  Tell us about your showcase “Control the Mic.”

DA Smart:  “Control the Mic” is a platform created by Terror Records Incorporated for all artists in Chicago to showcase their talent, their art, or their merchandise, to networks.  It’s to build bridges, not tear them down, and become a unified front here in Chicago for hip hop.

GO BANG! Magazine:  In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has caught the world off-guard.  How are you dealing with it?

DA Smart:  Like a normal day.

You can follow DA on ALL social media formats!

Who would have ever thought a little girl from the south side of Chicago’s West Englewood neighborhood, would be one of the hottest DJs in the city!!!  

Nakia Allen pka DJ SolKat grew up listening to different genres of music like R&B, Funk, Hip Hop and House.  At family parties, her aunt (who went by the name Miss Beasley) would be the DJ. Nakia became curious about the two turntables and the microphone.  She would stand there, watching how her aunt would select the records, and found it fascinating how each song created a reaction from the crowd.   After watching her aunt, as well as one of Hip Hops most famous lady turntablist DJ Spinderella on television, Nakia was inspired to DJ.

Beginning in 2007, Nakia felt the urge to pursue one of her dreams to DJ.  She became DJ SolKat, embodying her love of music playing from the soul and her love of cats. On Saturday, August 5, 2015, DJ SolKat started the “Queens of House Picnic” (QOH) in Chicago, IL.  The Queens of House was created for female DJs to showcase their skills on the 1’s and 2’s in the genre of House music.  In 2016, SolKat created the “Princesses of House,” a collective of young aspiring ladies, between the ages of 10 and 21, held at the QOH as an opening act.

Quite often, SolKat assembles a small group of lady DJs to represent the “Queens of House” brand outside of the picnic event. The Queens of House have been invited to perform at every major event in the city, including the Millennium Park “House Music Festival,” Navy Pier’s Grand Ballroom House Party and The “Taste of Chicago.”

2020 marks the Queens of House Picnic’s 6^th annual jamboree, which will be held in  Calumet Park, Chicago Park District, 9801 S. Avenue G. Chicago, IL  60617 on Sunday, August 2^nd.  The Queens of House Picnic has become one of Chicago’s hottest free House music events in the summer, with thousands of attendees every year and growing.

GO BANG! Magazine: How & when did you get started as a DJ?

SolKat: I got started DJ’n back in 2007, shortly after I graduated with a B.A. from the International Academy of Design & Technology in Chicago. One day a voice said, “well you always wanted to DJ.” At first, I scoffed at the idea, then the voice replied “DO IT NAKIA!” I scraped up the little money I had, drove to Guitar Center located in Country Clubs Hills, and purchased a small Gemini CD Controller and two 15″ Behringer Powered Speakers. When was I there, I met DJ Murf E. and he introduced me to the House Community, assisted with getting me DJ gigs, and gave me some pointers on how to be a better DJ.

GO BANG! Magazine: What DJs inspire you?

SolKat: Besides myself, all DJs inspire me! Male and female alike. I’m always watching and admiring what other selectors are doing creatively. One day I hope to be that inspiration for other DJs.

GO BANG! Magazine: As a resident of Chicago, the home of House music, you are recognized among the best of the female DJs. What influence, if any, do you feel you have brought to House music and how has House music influenced you?

SolKat: I believe I’ve influenced the spotlight on female DJs again. I say again because most people may not know there was a popular all female DJ line up in Chi – Town in the early 80’s. Trailblazers such as Celeste The DJ, Lori Branch and First Lady. Currently there are all “she-jay” House Music events being thrown everywhere, by not only women, but male DJs/promoters too.

GO BANG! Magazine: In the past, female DJs were more of a novelty, and not taken as serious as their male counterparts. Do you think that image has changed and why or why not?

SolKat: I wouldn’t say novelty necessarily, but I think it’s changed considering the overwhelming amount of female DJs nowadays. The world is recognizing women have skills too in this field.

GO BANG! Magazine: After sharing the stage with several DJs over the years, which DJs would you love to DJ with?

SolKat: Black Coffee from South Africa, I like his music. Deadmau5 from Canada is dope. Helen Ting from Hong Kong, her name is always buzzing in my circle. I’ll just allow nature to take it’s course, so whomever I work with would be off the chain.

GO BANG! Magazine: In addition to being a DJ, you’re also a business woman. You’re the founder of The Queens Of House. How would you describe The Queens Of House to someone that may not be familiar with the brand?

SolKat: Thanks for asking! The brand is the Queens of House Picnic. I created this in 2015 to exclusively showcase female DJs in Chicago and around the Midwest. This August 2020 will be our 6th annual House Music event. I would be remiss if I didn’t say that I welcome female talent from any where in this world to come throw down on the” wheels of steel.”

GO BANG! Magazine: Who are the core members of the Queens of House brand?

SolKat: Our MC Lady Alicia; Jaci Greer, Coordinator; Mr. Joey Jazz, Lighting; Mr. Ricky French, Sound; and Mr. G Whip, Manager. I value their insight, opinions and business sense. I’m forever grateful to those men and women for their dedication to ensuring Queens of House keeps moving forward and grows beyond the imagination.

GO BANG! Magazine: Over the years you morphed from being only a DJ. You’ve accomplished great success as an entrepreneur and producer, with the Queens Of House Picnic (QoHP). What motivated you to create the QoHP, and what is your mission?

SolKat: In 2007, after attending several House music picnics, I noticed the lack of female DJs in the line up, and a total void of an ALL female DJ House picnic. I took it upon myself to create the event on my own. My intentions were to throw one, big, all female DJ House music event to show not only can the men do it, but the women can do it too! “WE CAN PLAY!”

On Saturday, August 1, 2015, With the help of Joey Jazz, Chicago had it’s first ALL female DJ House music picnic. The Queens of House Picnic was born. Now my mission is to expand the brand, starting with the Princesses of House. In 2016, I created the Princesses of House which is a collective of aspiring young ladies between the ages of 10 and 21, who are the opening acts for the QOH Picnic.

GO BANG! Magazine: Many that know you personally and/or professionally, including myself, describe you as down to earth and cool. Sometimes, when others in the entertainment industry reach the level of notoriety that you’re achieving, with QOH, some of them go “Hollywood” and become big-headed. You seem to have not gone down that path. How have you maintained your level-headedness and why is that important to you?

SolKat: I keep in mind that what I’m doing is one of my passions and a God given gift. I have to protect it from the negative idea that “I’m better than” or “Above” anyone.

GO BANG! Magazine: Besides being a DJ, you are also involved in the arts. What other artistic gifts do you possess?

SolKat: I have training in playing the flute and a background in West African dance with Alyo Children’s Dance Theater. I studied adult drama at the ETA Creative Arts Foundation. That’s where I got my start acting on stage and stand up comedy. I also enjoy drawing, painting and singing.

GO BANG! Magazine: In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has caught the world off guard. How are you dealing with it?

SolKat: I’m trying to stay positive, stay quarantined and stay prayed up. It’s sad because I feel like I’m on punishment. May God be with us all.

Before I go, I’d like to thank you for this opportunity Pierre. I’m so proud of you and GO BANG! Magazine. Until next time.

GO BANG! Magazine: Thank you SolKat. I appreciate you and I’m PROUD OF YOU TOO Queen!
