As eyes continue to focus on the blooming entertainment activities of the cultural capital of the south, fans will travel to Atlanta, GA and inevitably add their energy to the contagious vibes as each act showcases why they have staying power.

The Soul Series at The Fox Theatre, in Atlanta, and others around the world, are needed in order to further spread OUR message in OUR music. We need to spread the word of not only having a great time at a party; but to also come together on one accord as a community, as a people, and as one.” Shannon Steward, Avery Dey Entertainment

Events like the (Fox Theatre) Soul Series, SXSW, Coachella, and others are essential in keeping the spirit of good music alive. It’s one thing to hear a recording, but it’s another to see a talented artist perform their music live. I consider it a blessing to have experienced concerts by Prince, Mary J. Blige, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Charlie Wilson, the Roots, and so many more. It just increased, exponentially, my respect and appreciation of their God-given gifts.” Billy Johnson, Jr., Veteran Music Journalist /Media Consultant

Celebrity photographer and disabled Vietnam veteran Jerome Dorn embodies the very definition of resilience. Born in Philadelphia, the fifth of seven children, Dorn stayed focused throughout his youth, eventually obtaining his degree in Criminal Justice. Dorn has worked with the Philadelphia Police Department, Department of Justice, World Wide Detective Agency, and several other high profile security groups. Throughout his successful career, Dorn wrestled with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, an aftereffect of his military service. Battling the pain and debilitating effect of PTSD, Dorn found comfort behind the camera. Photography proved to be not only therapeutic, but life changing as well. Dorn picked up his first camera in 1970 while serving in Vietnam and knew instantly that behind the lens was where he belonged. His shooting style and photographs were special, generating a buzz in the industry. In 1985, he began his career in photojournalism, working in a variety of genres. Dorn’s credentials include fashion, lifestyle photography, photojournalism, and celebrity/red carpet coverage. Working with MSNBC, Jet Magazine, and major publications in Philadelphia and around the country, Dorn has had the honor of capturing the images of hundreds of notable celebrities and politicians including President Barack Obama, George Bush Jr, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Maya Angelou, Jesse Jackson, Rihanna, Snoop Dog, Will Smith, and Tyler Perry. Photography has sent Dorn around the globe, inspiring his passion for civil activism. In 1995, Dorn assembled and led a group of forty-two men to the Million Man March. Together, they spent five days walking from Philadelphia to Washington DC. In his travels, Dorn observed a common theme amongst the youth of the world. Many of the children he encountered seemed lost. Understanding that opportunities for at-risk youth are minimal, Dorn was inspired to make a difference. Established by Dorn in 2011, InDaHouseMedia was built on the idea that there is room in the house for everyone. With InDaHouseMedia, Dorn’s mission is to provide the future generation with positive direction through sports, music, and photography.
