On Sunday October 30th, Studio City New Jersey (SCNJ) was the location of the First Annual Trenton Entertainment Summit. The event presented by A New Day Co-Op, JahYummy.com, Trenton Going Global and sponsored by Wells Fargo Bank, brought together an array of attendees involved or interested in the entertainment industry.

The summit, which was the first of its kind in the city of Trenton, was created by recording artist Big Ooh and Social Activist Will “Deshair” Foskey. The event was well executed and an overwhelming feeling of positivity and camaraderie filled the room.

"The Trenton Entertainment Summit wasn't a success because every seat was filled, it was a success because we took the initiative, embraced ambition and presented a brand our city hoped for, said Foskey." Every hand I shook, conversation I had, was with a smile accompanied by fresh new ideas."

The panel discussions, which included personal stories and great insight, were broken down into three areas: development, business, and production. Panelists included DJ Radio, Recording Artists Money Malc and Tone Trump, Juan of Redd Pen Media, Engineer (SCNJ) Brad Fulton, Producers from CertiFYD Production Group, and many others.

"I was honored to speak on the business panel at the Trenton Entertainment Summit," Tone Trump told AllJerseyRadio.com. "I have nothing but love for Trenton and the entire state of New Jersey because they've always embraced me. I met a lot of new talent today and the vibe was dope."

The summit, moderated by Remix Mafia's own DJ Slowjam Powell, also featured special guest speakers Darren “Freedom” Green and Tracy D. Syphax who gave great words of wisdom and encouragement to the crowd.

"We'll do this event every year," Foskey stated. Big Ooh and I are determined to bring and keep Trenton, New Jersey together."

The Trenton Entertainment Summit get's an ALLJERSEYRADIO STAMP of approval. Much love and respect to Big Ooh and Deshair! We support them in their effort to make a difference in their community!
