T.MORRISON AGENCY CLIENT KEN FORD FEATURED IN 'THE ATLANTAN'

By: T.MORRISON AGENCY Staff

If any of you live within a hint of Atlanta, then you should be very aware of one of the most desired media companies that calls Atlanta home, Modern Luxury Media the premier luxury lifestyle publisher in the United States. With titles such as The Atlantan, The Atlantan Brides, Jezebel and Men's Book, Modern Luxury excels in capturing the urbane metropolitan lifestyle.

After writing and sending out the press release announcing the historic Heisman moment for "King of Strings" Entertainer, Ken Ford, we knew this would be something Editor-in-Chief, Stephanie Davis Smith would be interested in.  "And I was right!", shares T.MORRISON AGENCY Principal, Tamika Morrison.  "Anyone who knows anything about Modern Luxury knows they love to feature certifiable 'local' celebrities with a national flair. With Ken's great accomplishment, being the first-ever musician playing for the 77th Annual Heisman Trophy Presentation last November, I knew this was something that would make Atlanta very proud that Ken calls it home."

Long of the short, Davis immediately responded to Tamika's pitch with congratulations and that a writer had been assigned to do a feature story.  "I pinched myself but it was believable," says Tamika.

"When Ken and I arrived at the nondescript warehouse for his souped-up photo shoot a few weeks later complete with at least five changes of clothing, huge lights and changing backgrounds, I knew I had in a client what we desire as an agency- a brand with consistency, marketability and star-power."

Electric Violinist Ken Ford Makes History Performing at the 77th Heisman Trophy Awards on ESPN

Atlanta's own Electric Violinist Ken Ford will be performing live this Saturday, December 10th in front of millions for the 77th annual Heisman Trophy Presentation Presented by Nissan at 8 p.m. on ESPN. A first in the network's history to have a live music performance take place during the Heisman presentation. 

 Electric Violinist Ken Ford will provide soul-stirring arrangements from his newest CD, "State of Mind" during commercial breaks, as well as providing musical transitions during the telecast. The live telecast from the Best Buy Theater in New York will be simulcast on ESPN3 and ESPN Mobile TV and accessible online at WatchESPN.com. ESPN Radio will also broadcast the announcement of the winner.

Be one of the first to interview this super star who's current CD "State of Mind" isclimbing the charts and was named number three on the Jazz Billboard Chart earlier this year.  Following his album's release, which has included the Atlanta Journal-Constitutionhighlighting Ford's "edgy sound", BET.compraising his "soul-stirring style", and Rolling Out declaring him an "all-around violinist" with "the ability to delve into jazz, funk, classical, soul and hip-hop without missing a beat or a string," Ford shows no signs of slowing down.  

In August, Ford treated his hometown of Atlanta to the full live experience of STATE OF MIND, with a sold-out concert at the Buckhead Theatre hosted by V-103's Ryan Cameron, featuring Ford's full band and R&B artist Algebra Blessett opening the show.  The sold-out show was recorded for future broadcast and was attended by a host of luminaries, including Mayor Kasim Reed, Julius "Dr. J" Erving, Q.
