Philadelphia
Front Page News Newspaper: So, tell everyone the address of the music studio
location.
Gilbert
F. Lomax Jr.:
The Simply Music Studio is located at 251 South 60th Street
Philadelphia, PA 19139.
PFPN: Since you and
Doris J. Hall-James are master music professionals, just what type of
Deejay are you? And what’s the name of the group for your entertainment company?
Gil
Lomax Jr.: I
am a mobile Deejay in the community. The
name of my entertainment company is called Simply Old School in which we play
old school music. My annual events include the Creek picnic, the Creek cabaret
and the Bikers Annual old timers’ young timers reunion keeping the memory of
Vicky Gadson and Spider alive. Hosted by Rickey Gadson.
PFPN: Who are included
in the events? And how long have you been Deejaying?
Lomax Jr.: All events
include young and older adults. I have been a DJ for five years doing block
parties, church events in Philadelphia, surrounding areas and South Jersey.
PFPN: About how long
have you participated in music engineering activity in a studio? And which catalog of studio music is your
specialty?
Gil: I have been
engineering, writing, and producing, music for five years and have multiple
songs in my music catalog. My catalogs
consist of R&B, Jazz, Gospel, Pop, Blues and Funk. I am a member of
Broadcast Music Association (BMI) and own publishing company Glomax Music. And
by the way, I own my own studio. I am the
President of the GreenRoom Audio Sound Studio (GRASS).
PFPN: When did you notice something was lacking in the urban section of the city and what did you plan to do about it? Did you organize anything specifically for youth, adults, or seniors and if so, what was the result?
Gil: For years I have
noticed that in the 60th street area – 60th street
corridor there were no services provided for inspiring and aspiring musicians
young or old. No visible recording
studios in the West Philadelphia Area along 60th street
corridor. Being a musician myself I
recognized the need for music services to support local talent.
PFPN: What else do you
want the readers to know about the Simply Music Studio, its mission and future?
Lomax Jr.: Although
Simply Music is a non-profit organization the overhead cost for the operation
of the business is met by donations and contributions and minimal fees to the
customers.
The
site at 60th street is still new but the demand for music service is
so great that I can foresee in the near future students pursing continued
education careers in the music industry…possibly with stronger support by our Simply
Music Studio.
