In  a supreme “ah ha” moment, I realized I could bypass the publishing industry altogether. In 2008, Adele formed Straight to Audio Productions, LLC and went to  work producing my first project called Jitters-A Quirky Little Audio Book.

Although it seems like a lifetime of scribbles and notes have led up to this – Lillian Brummet has been professionally involved in the realm of writing since 1999. She began writing poetry as a teenager, which allowed her to express the issues and emotions from a broken home, abusive childhood and being on her own at 13-years old. Through poetry she learned how to see beyond these hurts and discover a world outside of herself, where she learned that her life really did have value and that she had a purpose to fulfill.   Lillian’s award-winning poetry has appeared in five hardcover anthology books and continues to appear in magazines and newsletters across the globe. She has had the honor of attaining Editor’s Choice Award for Outstanding Achievement in Poetry  - not once, but twice. Her published books include the two-part series titled: Trash Talk (Vol 1 & 2), and a guide for authors titled: Purple Snowflake Marketing. She is also the host of the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio show, and manages the Brummet’s Conscious Blog.  Lillian is passionate about poetry and continues to write in this genre between marketing her books and working on new manuscripts for future books.

Quickly breaking through to major mainstream success in the hip-hop world, Brooklyn based rapper Ciph remembers being at his late grandma’s apartment in the late 90s and looking down as Jay-Z shot the video for the classic, Grammy nominated “Hard Knock Life” on the streets near the same Marcy Houses housing project where the future superstar and mogul grew up. Inspired by groundbreakers like Jay-Z, Biggie and Nas, Ciph began writing his own rhymes and fusing his own beats with a confidence that shines through big time on Black Mamba, his first complete album project after first making his mark with his late 2006 “Quiet Storm” mixtape, which was hosted by world renowned mixtape DJ DJ K-Swiv. Ciph dubbed his debut Black Mamba after the codename for Uma Thurman’s shadowy former assassin character—like her, he’s a force to be reckoned with, and after the Black Mamba strikes, the victim (or in this case, the listener) is never the same again.
