A LIFESTYLE RESOURCE FOR URBAN NASHVILLE RIO: STAR ON THE RISE A MOMENT WITH MARIO “RIO” MOORE USUAL SUSPECTS THE FACES OF THE URBAN ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY MARCH 16TH, 2010 VOLUME 2 - ISSUE 4 WWW.STAYONTHEGO.COM PUBLISHER’S NOTE Do Yall Get It? Another issue completed. Thank Goodness. Its challenging trying to get this paper up an running like it should be. Its like people dont understand what a black newspaper is and the importance of one. Sometimes when I am out selling the paper or talking to people about our vision for it, I wonder whether I am speaking a foreign language or whether black people really aren’t as smart as I thought they were. I am not being sarcastic either. I have a strong southern draw because I am from Atlanta and we are very country and ghetto. I actually leave meetings with people who I am talking about the paper too, and go home and tape record myself to see if maybe they don’t understand me because of the way I talk. So maybe if I write it in laymans terms it will go over better, so here goes: This is an African - American, or Black or Negro or Minority or whatever your word for non-white, magazine is. Our goal is to highlight what’s going on in our community, because currently, no such medium exists. You’ve got papers like the Tennessee Tribune or the Urban Journal, but they cover a much older segment of the community. No slight against them, (although it will probably be taken as such) but this city is changing. Without media to reflect that, people will not know what is going on and how to become a part of that change. So that is what this is. Now let me explain to you why it is needed. If you have a black business, how do you expect to get customers if you don’t advertise. It baffles me how many people I meet that tell me they have there own business and then I tell them to invest $100 in an ad and they are like, they don’t have it? I’m lost black people. People pay $100 to get there hair done. To buy a pair a sneakers, to buy a new shirt. You really don’t have $100 to invest in your “so-called” business. And for a small business, investing in radio or television is much too expensive. So we created this paper as a low cost mechanism to get products and services in front of a larger audience. Another reason this paper is needed is to inform you of what’s going on in the city. You’re not going to find out by listening to the radio because the market doesn’t follow the radio. They follow promoters. And most promoters don’t use the radio unless its something big happening. So most weekends you just sit at home thinking there is nothing going on waiting for your friends to tell you about an event they just heard some people talking about that’s been going on for years, and you didn’t even know. You can pick up a copy of the Scene or the Metro Mix, but if you go to anything in any of those publications, you will not see any black people there. Unless Earthquake is at Zanies or something. This is no slight against them either because their paper is developed to serve their audience which is predomitely white. >> CONTINUED @ http://www.stayonthego.com/ publish/publish_edit Shawntaz Crawford Follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/taztweets [email protected] EDITORS’S NOTE What’s Your Cause? You know, we’ve somehow lost the real essence to purpose. I don’t mean not knowing what you are supposed to be when you grow up, as in career. It’s a much deeper and serious condition than that. Somehow, along the way, we’ve gotten so caught up in the acquisition of things, that we’ve lost the desire to work passionately for a meaningful cause. Meaningful cause, not just being able to wear Gucci or drive a Benz and live in a chic condo, but what about feeding the hungry or lobbying for world peace? I know, I know…sounds too preachy. But are we truly limiting ourselves by eliminating such things from our store of desires? I mean, how impossible must have achieving Civil Rights seemed to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. when he and his colleagues decided that change was worth dying for? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy nice things, but shouldn’t we have causes that are bigger than ourselves? Shouldn’t we explore something greater than just getting what we can get? This is a call. This is a call for you to get a cause. Choose something that you think is unattainable. The cure for cancer. The elimination of homelessness. The restoration of Haiti. The combating of obesity in your family. Creating opportunities for young people to go to college. Do something towards your cause at least once a week no matter how small or unappreciated it may seem. I guarantee you that your pursuits will change, your perspective will be revised and, oddly enough, your original desired acquisition will occur right after you realized it wasn’t what you wanted after all. GO. I dare you.

Distinguished for his soul infused, futuristic pop beats and his distinctive R&B flow, Rio is quickly becoming the driving force motivating the underground scene. Before he was a precociously multi- talented universal artist, he was Nashville, TN native Mario Moore, humbly following in his parent’s footsteps. A son of musical parents, his father being a jazz trumpeter and his mother, alongside her family, being a soul singer, it was only natural that he would gravitate in the same direction. Rio credits them to his success, “Everything about my music comes from my family background. They are my original influence.” Rio’s love affair with music began when he started teaching himself how to play the piano which lead to him playing for his church. Feeling boundless, he did not limit himself to performing for church events. His hunger for music was the source behind exploring it further. Developing an ear of his own, Rio became absorbed in the vibes of R&B and rebellious delivery of Hip Hop. Eventually he went on to learn how to play the drums, the guitar and mirroring the melody of both genres. Showing signs of a producer-to-be, he would record himself singing over work he composed using two tape decks. From penning simple thoughts to composing artfully inspired music, he was developing as a well rounded artist. “As an artist, I’m directly influenced by the music I produce but I never separate the two because my process depends on both,” - Rio. Although creating music was a constant factor in Rio’s life, he would only let his friends hear what he produced. He never took it as seriously as it reflected. It would be his listening audience that would charge him to turn his hobby into a career. Soon, Rio began to sup- “I create the music from lyrics, situations, experiences; or anything it takes to move me in a direction to make a song.” ply artists with lyrics and beats in all genres. Ghostwriting, singing and producing for his personal use spawned into a successful profession before his eyes. In honor of his hit making abilities, Rio has been nominated for Southern Entertainment Awards as well as Dove Awards, has worked with A-list producers and artists and is noted as a viable musician. “I create the music from lyrics, situations, experiences; or anything it takes to move me in a direction to make a song. My music is a reflection of versatiity, adrenalized energy, and inspiration from God.” – Rio Currently, Rio has released singles, ‘Video Girl,’ ‘Diamond,’ and ‘Take it’ in support of his mixtape As I See It now available on Riomusicnow.com.
