September: Back To School With My Dream Career

While I was in college I had a big list of favorite bands. I did not know it at the time but they were interrelated, influenced by each other and most would last long enough or reunite in time for me to book them during my reinvention of our agency! Grab a Tab and join me for a stroll down memory lane and back to the future.

I have spent the last year and a half consulting in the fields that are important to me including music. I have gained great perspective which has enabled me to continue a three decade love affair with music and those who create it.

I want to start this post by welcoming a few of them into the RajiWorld family as clients, as their agent and their fan.

We are thrilled to be booking new tours for The Black Watch, Cotton Mather, Dream Syndicate and Steve Wynn.

RajiWorld is also deeply grateful for this new family who keeps on growing via side projects like (The Fleshtones) Keith Streng’s Split Squad featuring Eddie Munoz, Clem Burke, Michael Giblin, Keith Streng and Josh Kantor! We also have old favorites coming back with new projects such as Nakia has (see Dream Big With Nakia, On Tour in September!) AND second generation clients like William Harries Graham (son of Jon Dee Graham).

RajiWorld is also proud to introduce you to our new sister company, Compass SS. We are Sponsorship Stewards navigating new horizons for a better future by developing partnerships between the creative arts and innovative businesses with an emphasis on lifestyle marketing, trends and green solutions. As the catalyst for creative partnerships, we welcome you to join us in facilitating change with visionary people to generate long-term success.

We are currently representing The Chula League and its flagship event, the 12th Annual Cherrywood Art Fair held this December 7-8, 2013. “Proceeds benefit Maplewood Elementary School and their Little Artist BIG ARTIST mentoring program that pairs fifth graders with professional artists and students who learn to celebrate creativity, develop personal expression, and experience the creative process from ideation through commercialization in a positive afterschool setting.” Our first sponsor is one who would like to be made anonymous but I am deeply grateful as they are the entity that brought me to Austin originally and as a wise Texas once said “You dance with the one that brung ya.”. What I can tell you is that they hey have demonstrated long-time support for local art, music, film, education, and community which makes them a great match for Cherrywood Art Fair. Some of our other recent partnerships include;
Whole Foods: The Khabele School: HEB Foundation Free Camp and Patagonia:RajiWorld:Glazers:Kosmic Kombucha:Patika Coffee:Real Ale Brewing and SXSW Eco Fest.

June and July: Featured Artists Taking Flight

I Fly

“You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?” ― Rumi.

We take our wings seriously, they open us up to a higher realm. Love, possibility, expansion and freedom. We have jumped aboard June with abandon. As was our old tradition, we want to invite you in for a drink and this summer our favorite local spot to recharge is JuiceLand; I would love to meet you there soon and tell you the stories of RajiWorld’s two new creative magicians as they prepare for take off.

We have magic on our minds this month and we want you to come along for the ride, literally. We could not be happier to expand the reach of Austin Bike Zoo. This idea and execution showcase everything Austin can be proud of, This interactive art was engineered to bridge gaps and create fun. Write to us here to see how we can find the right fit for your public or private event as your audiences, clients, friends and family are taken to a fantasy world of the only 80 foot long rattlesnake ever created and 17 foot tall butterflies, where anything is possible with only the power of your own two feet.

William

And in June we all let our hair down, take off our shoes and trappings to experience this feeling but nothing speaks to imagination like, well an actual kid. So without further ado, please meet William Harries Graham, our (about to turn 14) wunderkind. He is exactly who we each wish we had been as a teen so please help me nurture, support and show off his talents. We are looking for the best  local and regional opportunities for his solo, duo and full band projects. Cheers!

May: Beginnings and Endings

mint_julep

I have always loved May, It feels like beginnings and endings at once. It is the beginning of festival season and the end of the school year. It reminds me of old and new in nearly every way. Our choice of drink this month the traditional Mint Julep can be divine when shared with those we adore on a hot day over great conversation sharing new ideas.

The farmer’s markets are filled with every type of green, I am cooking up a storm here and must mention that is a perk of interning at RajiWorld and Compass. Homemade, organic, vegan meals are included. We are currently seeking interns in the following areas: Accounting and Bookkeeping, Event’s Staff and General Booking help.
