Introducing Kaijah Wilson, an experienced business
owner who successfully transitioned from managing
million-dollar retail ventures to thriving in the world of
entrepreneurship. At the young age of 27, she utilized her
extensive knowledge to establish her first daycare center,
marking the beginning of an extraordinary business
journey. Over the course of the past six years, Kaijah has
successfully launched a total of eight daycare centers,
each making a significant contribution to the community
by providing employment opportunities, childcare
services, and invaluable support to families in need.
Kaijah places great emphasis on fostering a sense of
family within her centers, extending support beyond
childcare to address personal needs, thereby creating a
lasting impact on the Tiny Tots family. Kaijah’s
exceptional business acumen and unwavering dedication
to success have earned her prestigious titles such as
Store Manager, and Owner of her own enterprise. The
daycare centers, including Tiny Tots Academy West, Tiny
Tots Before and After, Sauk Village Academy, and Sauk
Village Before and After, serve as nurturing havens for
both children and teachers. In addition to her flourishing daycare centers, Kaijah
also owns a beauty business in Chicago
called Beauty Vault. What sets Beauty Vault
apart is its unwavering commitment to
bringing a luxurious atmosphere to the
community. Wilson ensures that her store
not only offers a diverse range of products
but also employs women from the local
community who possess extensive
knowledge about and personally use the
products. This unique approach provides
customers with well-informed advice and
an unparalleled personalized shopping
experience, which is rarely found in
traditional beauty supply stores. Kaijah’s
entrepreneurial journey is now expanding
to Houston, TX, and Atlanta, GA, where she is
preparing to launch two more luxury beauty
supply stores, aiming to make a positive
impact on the community. It will be the
largest black owned beauty in Houston.
Beyond her business ventures, she is also
set to release her first e-book this year in
2024. Kaijah’s e-book will share her
experiences in opening a beauty supply
store, with the aim of guiding aspiring
black entrepreneurs in navigating the
market.
Green Pond has a hopeful rising star. David Givens, a singer-songwriter hailing from Green Pond, will debut
his EP on March 20. An EP is an extended play record, and a musical recording that contains more tracks
than a single, but is usually unqualified as an album or LP. As a pastor’s son, Givens began his music career
at the age of two, singing in choirs, praise teams and working audiovisuals for church. Then at 14, he began
writing songs. His career really began to take off in 2015. “I recorded 20 songs in 10 hours and ended up
throwing it all away. The quality was poor,” said Givens. “It just wasn’t the right time.” At present, Givens
has a single available called “Addiction,” which has tunes inspired by his Trinidad Tobago ancestry roots. He
mixes pop, rhythm and blues, and electronic dance music. The song’s lyrics relate to trying to move on after
heartache from a breakup or loss of a loved one. The story line involves a young man attempting to
overcome the rejection of a lover and the addictive memories following the separation. The song is based on
Givens’ own life, as he had difficulties conquering the overwhelming memories associated with the death of
his sister. “Before I begin working on my music, I take time to pray, meditate and clear my mind so that I can
be at my best. I try to expel any negativity,” said Givens. Originally, Legion — and later Mahoganee and Andre
Amiger of Responsible Artistry Inc. in Beaufort — produced Given’s album “Electric Kingdom.” Part one is
called “Innocence and Fallen,” the first of a series of what Givens calls episodes or stories. An exclusive
song will come out with his new EP which will also feature a remix of one of his older songs with a major
artist singing along with Givens. Inspired by Prince’s creativity, Dawn Richard’s shape-shifting, Celine
Dion’s vocals, Shirley Caesar’s gospel sound and Janet Jackson’s pop and hip-hop, Givens developed his
own style by mixing all the genres together to form his own. He has plans for a podcast called “The Earth
According to David” where he hopes to feature a section called Indie Power, allowing singers and
songwriters to perform for viewers who vote on their favorite acts. “I want to support fellow artists,” said
Givens. “Artists need to work together and help each other out. The music scene is scarce except in
Charleston, and black artists are divided. I want to change that and give artists a platform,” he said. Givens
has come a long way from small town Green Pond. But he has never forgotten his roots and memories
associated with the Lowcountry. His music is a blend of old and new with traces of every genre of music
that has impacted his life. “I am constantly working to perfect my craft,” said Givens. “I have a lot of plans
for the future, and I never want to forget that ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me’.”

Question: Hey everyone it’s ya boy Darren Southern Plug
Brown, here with a mega Southern Plug Exclusive.
Introducing to some,(artist's name). So, tell our readers that

guitarist?
Answer: Early on I wanted to be a guitarist! But life took me
other directions. During that time I served with some
magnificent people in some tough places! I wanted to
combine my skill as a guitarist and my mission to empower
veterans into one thing. So playing the National Anthem n
guitar just fit!
Question: How and when did you coin the stage name
Ledfiddle? And how do you feel that title fits you?
Answer: Well… it just kinda happen! A buddy of mine and I
would call guitars “getfiddles”. I started building guitars and
having the idea of performing the National Anthem when I
was still on active duty. I felt like “getfidddle” was too
country for other musicians. So I changed “get” to “lead”
then everyone pronounced it as in first place “lead” so I
changed the spelling to “Led”
Question: Do you have any upcoming projects or
announcements to make?

Question: Name a time where you've faced adversity in your career? And, what impact did it have on you or your
career?
Answer: I cater to veterans. I do this because I feel there is a sacrifice made by veterans that most will never
understand. I have had several veterans try to take advantage of me and my business and that’s just so
disheartening! That has been difficult because in the military we are taught to treat each other as brothers and
sisters. It has made me more guarded but more appreciative of the brothers and sisters I learn I can trust!
Question: Is there something in specific that you want people to know about you or your art?
Answer: I want people to remember America! “We the people” means something to me! Patriotism is not about apolitical party or a branch of service, it’s about love and mutual respect! When I play the National Anthem my goal is to give everyone in the audience goosebumps thinking of those that have sacrificed for our freedoms!
Question: How do you juggle your personal life and professional life?
Answer: A huge part of all this for me is showing my son that you can
do anything you set your mind to. One of my sons biggest heros is Ty from Dude
Perfect! When we got tickets to see him live my son came running into my room
and said “dad ty plays guitar! Build him one please!!!!” So… I did. And my son
, wife and, I gave it to Ty at the Dude Perfect show in Charlotte! I include my
family in all aspects of what I do! Without them…. I would not be who I am!

in your field?

play like your favorite player does not make you as good as them.
Always remember the best of the best played like no one else at the
time they became famous!

A contemporary Christian artist who presents an eclectic
mix of praise & worship music, hip-hop, contemporary
gospel, and the harmony vocal music of his childhood,
Choirboi Cam emerged with his first album, War Zone, as a
young teen in 2014. His third full-length release, 2019's
Growing Pains, marked his debut in the Top Ten of
Billboard's gospel albums chart. A native of Piedmont,
South Carolina, Cameron Owens Hunter sang with his
family in church from a young age. He started writing his
own music, adopted the alias Choirboi Cam, and began
touring by his mid-teens. His first album, War Zone,
appeared in 2014. Still a high school student at the time, his
second long-player, 2016's The Destiny Project, reflected a
more mature outlook gained from growth and travel. By that
time, he was involved in anti-bullying advocacy and was
part of the Now Network reality series More Than Music. He
issued the EP Against the Wall in 2017, then expanded it
for the full-length Growing Pains, which followed in 2019. It
climbed to number nine on Billboard's Top Gospel Albums
chart as well as landing on the Heatseekers and
Independent Albums chart.
Three years following the success of his Billboard Top 10 Album "Growing Pains," ChoirBoi Cam returns with his latest single "Replay," released on March 22nd. This new single, characterized by uplifting lyrics and a contemporary sound, promises to be a significant testament to the enduring grace and mercy of God.
Hailing from Upstate, South Carolina, ChoirBoi Cam has spent 25 years spreading the message of faith through his music and sermons worldwide. Holding the position of National Pastor at Greater Grace Global, a network of churches spanning the United States, Cam is also a distinguished artist, recognized with multiple Stellar Award nominations. His musical journey began with the release of his debut album "War Zone" as a teenager in 2014, culminating in his breakthrough achievement with "Growing Pains" reaching the Top Ten of Billboard's gospel albums chart in 2019.
Presently, Cam serves as a worship leader at the Faith Center in Piedmont, SC, and at Relentless Church in Greenville, SC. His overarching vision is to empower leaders across the nation and awaken individuals to the latent potential and divine strength instilled within them.
