Welcome to Jonei Productions the evolving brand. We have re-committed ourselves to thrive in this new environment versus simply surviving. What will these historic shifts bring? Is there a fool proof process in understanding the certainty of an industry? Throughout this new blog series, we will gather different points of views on this subject and explore the new trends that affect the arts, media and entertainment markets. These discussions will include profound leaders who are making changes and setting trends.

First allow me to introduce myself. My name is Renee Benot, Founder and contemporary jazz performer, songwriter, producer, mother, aunt, sister, author, philanthropist, and soon to be GG. Most importantly, I love good music, good food, good friends and family. So much of who we are today is embedded in our roots. Where do I come from? Who is my tribe or people? What is my ethnicity? How did they live a quality life? How can I live a quality life today? Who are the pillars of my community or presence in my life today? Where do I go when life has taken a hold on me? Who do I trust and why? What experiences do I have to reflect in making the choices I do today?

It is safe to say that the past 24 months has forced all of us to question the present events and wonder how to navigate our future. In order to know where we’re going, we have to ask ourselves where do we want to go and try to find the quickest, safest and most meaningful direction on how to get there. I would like you to take this journey with me as I attempt to come to terms with my own interpretation of these matters and I invite you to be an active participant in these discussions.
