The low end of his music was born in the bass strings of Leon Sylvers III. The melodic keys and harmonies were shaped by the Mizell Brothers, and the beats of Jay Dee to set the tone. Cover it all in the cloak of his hometown of Detroit, and that's Zo!, a multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer who has his most ambitious and personal album to date with SkyBreak. Through Making SkyBreak, explore Zo!'s hometown of Detroit and venture directly behind the scenes to learn about his humble beginnings. Tour his home studio in Washington D.C., and travel to a host of cities from LA to Raleigh, NC to sit down with the crew of talented songwriters, producers, and vocalists who helped create the amazing album. Get ready to take a journey through SkyBreak, one of the greatest contemporary soul albums of the year.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
