Time to go live – 2022

Peace people,

I hope everyone has been doing positively well through life?

My posting on all my platforms has not been frequent, However I have been working real hard on what I call my ‘foundation years’, already established my philosophy a while ago, Since then my journey has been all about putting my thoughts into practice. I take each day as a learning experience, whatever I did yesterday I make a duty to improve on it today, whether it being my interactions with family & friends, my craft within music, dealings in business etc, but more on this on another post..

The time has finally come to begin to start doing shows!, As some of you know the last time I performed was December 2019, I had Gigs booked all through out the summer of 2020, But all that got wiped off, ‘we all know & felt what happened’, Now this could have broken me down, someone like me who has a great passion for music & live performance, But through those hard months I put my energy into building my studio, ‘Cave music studios’ in Bath, I can tell you my biggest reward has been seeing musicians come in the studio to rehearse & record & leaving the space with smiles on their faces, This has kept me grounded, & I remain really grateful to everyone who has supported me & the studio thus far.

With regards to the band members, Just like some of you it has not been easy through the pandemic, but somehow even through these 2 years we have managed to stick together, Only addition to the group since 2019 is Alex Alderson on Keyboards, who has brought a good balance to the overall sound, I refer you to the vonjlive.com to read more about him.

We are looking forward to start playing live as a group, Currently Scheduled to headline a few events starting close to home..

Beginning on…

May 20th @Komedia ‘electric bar’ Bath

June 3rd @The Exchange – Bristol

July 2nd @St James wine vaults – Bath

August 5th @Bell back bar – Bath

September 17th @Zed alley – Bristol

To book the band please contact me on..

vonjproductions@gmail.com

Time has been over due for some live music! Hope to see you guy’s in these venues, Will be posting details for each event soon.

Otherwise I wish everyone a positively progressive day.

Peace & Blessings.

The Brief Updates – 2021

Greetings people, Hope everyone has been progressing well during these recent times?

It’s been a while now since I published on these platforms, But now I figure it’s the right time to start keeping you all informed here on the latest news.

First I thank everyone who’s been there backing me up & supporting all the projects I have relentlessly continued to build on in the past few months, The journey toward total independence is a testing one, But I see hardships all as part of the process toward success.

As you all know this pandemic had halted live shows, However things now are changing for the better & will be ready to announce some local shows soon, Me & the band are certainly looking forward to make a comeback, & continuing from where we left off.

There’s also a studio album that has been in the works of which I really am looking forward to release, dates will be announced soon on www.vonjlive.com,

With regards to ‘Cave Music Studios’ in Bath, I keep looking forward to see new musicians come through each week to rehearse & record here, You can have a look at what we do on www.cavemusicstudios.co.uk, & if interested in practising or recording feel free to send your enquiries to cavemusicstudiosbath@gmail.com

Will expound upon each of the projects I am involved in on a separate post, In the meantime I wish you all a productive & blessed week.

Peace & love.

Ruach News: 21/07/16

vonj band 154912A

Peace & Ruach People!

Y’all alright today?? y’all staying strong??, because remember…no matter what situation you are in?, good or bad?, there is only one thing that you can always aspire towards, RISING UP & Getting better within yourself & everything that you do!.

I’ve been in the midlands (England) doing session work for other folk, But nothing will compare to what is in store the day Ruach hits the stages!. I have always been about “LIVE” performance, & as much as we would like to build our reputation on “social media”, The real intention is to actually bring people OUT of the digital world & into the REAL world, No matter how sweet music may sound on a record/mp3, Nothing will ever compare to a live experience, This is why we should move towards appreciating musicians even more while they yet live, Because no matter how you may dig tunes like “So What”, No matter how you may dig “Purple rain”, That real & actual experience is gone with those artists forever!, & there are NO high end speakers, amplifiers, Full HD 3D, virtual reality, holographic systems that will ever come close to replicating the feeling received from an original live experience.

So “we want to bring you OUT!”, But first we are working towards setting the “right conditions”,  We look forward to inviting you to the party!

Meantime I have been doing research on what mainstream online store serves most convenient and offers a decent deal for both the artist & the consumer, Currently I recommend downloading Ruach through “Google play” our link is as follows..

https://play.google.com/store/music/album/Vonj_Ruach?id=B4ecfotssvzk4bn2s7535tasksq

Look out Next Wednesday the 27th!, for some RAW footage that will quickly take you through the journey in the studio (the cave) creating the Ruach album project, included will be sneak bites of the songs included on the album & also the tracks that were not included.

So Remember to spread the word & subscribe to the websites that we have 100% control over..

We love & appreciate your support people, never forget this.

Peace & blessings from the Ruach family

Renaissance Challenge! Starting in 7.7.16

rAN

We have all heard of the Ice bucket challenge & other similar challenges that have been hyped by the media, I thought about a challenge which won’t go down as popular but will be life changing to those who attempt it. This summer, Seven, Seven, Sixteen I will be within a few forums online with “The Renaissance challenge”, The plan is to inspire people to be economically independent.

We all have great ideas which some of us have been made shy by society to talk about,  Well from July the 7th 2016 we are going to start working on our life time vision, This may take a year to plan out, but at the end of that year we may find ourselves in a place where we are able to begin our own business’s with a fool-proof strategy!. Most of us have thought of what we would like to see ourselves doing in life,  But “writing about it” is the next best thing, We don’t necessarily have to show our plans publicly, but we should at least be talking about it within our households, whether you want to start your hair dressing business, film production, record label. I will be here through the forums to motivate people through their situations.
The reason I am telling you about this now & beginning this Challenge in the SUMMER is because I know most people won’t wake up tomorrow and start on their plan, Time is needed to let this thought marinate. Also I feel that summer time is when people are more open to the flow of inspiration, we are out doors in the sun, we are in festivals, we tend to be socializing more, so naturally our bodies would be better adjusted to work on R.L.M. “Real Life Matters”.

Anyway family, I hope you continue well & strong within your week & still smiling!.

Other updates coming soon.

Peace

Vonj – Words of songs Chapter 49 “Song of Dreams”

dreams

“Song of dreams”

I see my life,

a stone being chipped,

the world made me rough,

but my edge is sharp,

the dreams I had, have all come true,

But I dream a new,

to reach out to you,

Mantra

Dream, make your dreams manifest,

Spring something new,

 that is why we are here,

Second Part 

ego people,

can break your heart,

but I remain humble,

and run them down,

love takes courage,

love needs silence,

silence springs dreams

so that you can sour,

Mantra

Dream, make your dreams manifest,

Spring something new,

 that is why we are here,

X2

Third part

so have no fear,

for dreams are really there to help you,

watch, look, and see, and pay attention,

for every silent symbol there is a reason,

there is always a becoming,

so witness what is beneath your eye’s,

Forth part

Dream,

not for money for that is a nightmare,

Dream,

that you are a king or a queen pick up your crown,

Dream,

how to inspire peace and harmony,

Dream,

a better way to communicate,

Dream,

How to stop the [tell lie vision],

Dream,

methods of how to stop all wars,

Mantra 

Dream, make your dreams manifest,

Spring something new,

 that is why we are here,

X2,

My life has been an adventure,

learning is what I endeavour,

I remain thankful for my breath,

Life can end any moment,

so make sure you build your wisdom,

use this to help someone else,

Mantra

take heart my friend,

no matter what life throws at you,

the power is in you,

I heard the trumpets blowing,

raising the spirits from death,

bringing a new shinning light,

I sings of joy and gladness,

let all the children witness,

the great things to come in our world,

Mantra

take heart my friend,

no matter what life throws at you,

the power is in you,

Vonj – Words of songs Chapter 19 “Beyond the Border”

These are all expressions that came through my heart. I have written these pieces to fit in within a musical format. What you read here has already been musically recorded, I hope you enjoy these messages family. Love; Vonj.

Beyond the Border

Tanks guns and ammunition,

never killed a man.

Man’s greed and ego nature,

shed rivers of Tears.

we are taught what to think not how to think,

they say original thinkings over.

Lies are told to the people there is no place for you unless you sell your soul and be part of their mission,

part of their mission.

Second part

History is written by the winners,

the one’s who told the truth wrote about the future.

some say “All we want is land” but they can have it all,

without your mind you are still a slave.

all power to our soldiers,

but would they fight if they knew what they were fighting for?.

Challenge the system and your a threat to the peace

what peace?

They’re definition of piece begins with money,

begins with money.

Third Part

Media fiction,

political theater set to control your mind.

Industries are controlled to stop the people musing for themselves,

Did you here the news how they dramatise weightless issues,

a strife to stop the truth from you,

Its time to come together make a plan, build the man, who will stand,

against their order,

AGAINST THEIR ORDER,

Vonj – Words of songs Chapter 15 “Sonic Boom”

These are all expressions that came through my heart. I have written these pieces to fit in within a musical format. What you read here has already been musically recorded, I hope you enjoy these messages family. Love; Vonj.

SONIC BOOM

Frozen in time

The twenty first century cries

All they can do is look back and listen to historical recorded reels

Lessons unlearned while disregard is nearly mastered

So let me take you to another dimension where vision is a capable sound

There’s a vicious red already canned in a factory

you’ll be bought and sold unless you break the ice and set your mind free

Mantras

Now if you run

or if you hide

you’ll break your bones

and you will loose

But if you feel

and if you hear

Your going to fly

and hit the sonic Boom

Second Part

A generation moving faster than the speed of light

ain’t clever to move that fast before know what light really is

and where are we rushing to

If we don’t know where we came from

I guess the answer is shielded on a pinnacle of which we are afraid to tread

Forget the threat forget the risk

ain’t no pain but gain if you do what’s right then you will reign

Mantras

Now if you run

or if you hide

you’ll break your bones

and you will loose

But if you feel

and if you hear

Your going to fly

and hit the sonic Boom

East and West

There’s no difference but they remain in circles of war

Black and White

There’s no difference but they remain in circles of war

Mantra

We need big love

in this little world

Come back to love

In this world

Second Part

The Rich and the Poor

There’s no difference but they remain in circles of war

Tribes and Nations

There’s no difference but they remain in circles of war

Mantra

We need big love

in this little world

Come back to love

In this world

Extent

Cast the sea into the sky

Tell us there’s no connection

Look through our skin and tell us our blood

is not the same

Erase all the lies and illusions

Tell us there is no correlation

Burn our wants and leave our needs

and cant you see

we are all one

Hate War Love Peace
