    Strive Records-A true Breath of Fresh Air that Merits your Review!
    posted by Lester G. Reynolds on Sunday July 13 2008 @ 10:50PM PDT
    Musician Announcement It is not often in this time of failing global economical hardship
    that we hear of individuals who are attempting to beat the odds.
    Life is a daily struggle on what most would consider a good day
    in any country and as far back as any of us can remember,we
    were always led to believe that our salaries and education would
    always be the determining factor as to the quality of life we
    could hope to oneday enjoy.
    I am here to tell you that as true as it may sound,it is only part
    of the equation. Desire and Ambition are the two ingredients
    that turn the odds in our favor. How do I know? I am living
    proof.
    I have always held a deep desire in my heart every since I was a
    small child to accomplish amazing feats by utilizing the talents
    that I felt I was blessed with. Of Course,being a young boy I had
    no idea what they were at the time,I just felt a strange energy
    that always seemed to be stirring inside me and I saw the world
    and all it's possibilities in a manner in which others would call
    absolute insanity.
    As the years passed me by, I discovered my writing abilities and
    began singing and envisioning myself as the Actors on the
    Movies and Television Shows that I would watch and as songs
    were pouring out of the Radio I found myself envisioning my
    voice coming through the speakers instead. I would often think
    about how life would be different for us if I had the financial
    wealth of some well to do Celebrity.All of these things flooded
    my mind especially when I saw how hard my parents worked to
    provide for the demands of 3 children,but would always have so
    little to show for it.I never can get the images out of my mind
    even today of sitting down at the dinner table and watching as
    my parents would stand around watching my siblings and I as
    we ate our dinner and making sure we had enough,they
    however,were not eating because we didn't have enough food
    for everyone.
    I have carried so much of my younger life into my Adulthood and
    I have never lost site of the big picture and I thank God that he
    gave me true humility and understanding as well as compassion
    and most of all,Desire!
    I have learned a great deal about who I am over the course of
    my life experiences and am not through living by a longshot!
    I have become very good friends witha Gentleman by the name
    of Gary Tyrone Johnson and together we have done something
    incredible!
    We have formed several companies that are on the threshhold of
    becoming very powerful and prominent front runners in the
    world of entertainment.
    One in particular that I am very proud of is Strive Records.
    Gary and I have Recorded,Produced,Written and Composed my
    very first Album and we are gearing up for Worldwide
    release.Many major Industry Professionals have shown us
    amazing support and we continue to garner the attention of
    Music Icons and Award Winning Artist everywhere. Our music
    offers inspiration and hope where there seems to be none. The
    messages contained in my lyrics will give anyone the courage to
    simply keep pushing!
    We have now began to see that an amazing opportunity has
    been birthed for God to use us to heal the hurting hearts of a
    struggling Nation and to bring people together through the
    realization that regardless of our ethnical and cultural
    differences,we are all of one flesh and one family.
    Our Music will be available worldwide via iTunes and many other
    e-tailers on August 6,2008.
    We want nothing more than to share our messages of hope and
    encouragement with the world.
    If you would like to help us do that,we encourage your reply.
    Please read all about us and all of our companies by visiting our
    websites where you can not only listen to our music and see our
    videos,but you can also contact us directly.
    Let us know how we can help you.
    Never stop Striving to reach your true potential!
    Kindest Regards,
    Strive Records
