I had the pleasure of attending the very 1st First Friday happy hr that the Morning Wood Show had hosted and it was a great mixture of the D.C. Collected that was present. Lots of networking, lots of pics, great music and of course my fav...lots of "BOOZE" drink specials. Cheers to the Launch of the "The Morning Wood Show" with a few other vendors that were onsite. If your looking for a good networking event in the District of Columbia each and every 1st Friday of the Month come and check it out, get your face and name out there and have your business card ready! Never Know who you're going to meet.
· How did you you guys meet
Richie Skye: We actually met through mutual friends. And then one day he actually hit me up to work on some music, because I write and produce for other artists. So we met up, talked about music, direction and I played him some tracks and we just started hanging out like that.
· How did you 2 come up with the morning wood show? Is there an audience that you want to capture?
Demond: We'd both always had ideas of doing an online show. So we discussed it and thought of show title "The Morning Wood Show" based on a song that Richie had written and recorded under the moniker FLY OR DIE KIDS called "The Morning Wood Song". We decided to use that as the theme song and the show just worked out. We never imagined that it would take off like it has. Well, the audience that we want to capture would be the media savvy, African-American & Latino, 18-40 year old set - much of our audience tends to skew toward gay men and women, although we get comments and feedback from all types of people, which has really been a blessing.
· You guys are some “Eye Candy”..Ever did any modeling?
Richie: LOL. Thanks for saying that. We are really appreciative of that type of feedback. Yes, we have both actually done modeling work. I have an agency that I work with for most of my work, and its occasional - here and there. Its not really my prime focus, but it does offer some nice funds from time to time.
Demond: Yes, yes, yes. We have both done all types of modeling. I'm really big into fashion so, I'm constantly studying what's new and looking for new photographers, although I typically work with my favorite photographer from DTK Photography. He's done alot of our promo shots. I'm also interested in working behind the lens as well, so stay tuned as I am waiting for a call from Playgirl Magazine any day now. LOL

· Are you guys working on separate projects?
Richie: Yes, actually we are - I just released my new single, Hardcore, featuring Sol Edler and we're about to shoot the video later this month. So look out for that in June. My next single should be out in August and I'm thinking that my second album will be out in December or January. So I'm really excited about all of that. Outside of the show itself, we're gonna be expanding The Morning Wood Show brand so stay tuned for more info on that as well.
Demond: Music connected us so naturally we are both working music, but I have a long list of projects that I plan to knock off one by one.
· Demond: What’s behind the name Bouvier? Any relation to Jackie O?
As Wendy Williams would say, In my head Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis is my cousin as I am the long lost child of her first cousin Edith Bouvier Beale also known as Little Edie. She was a socialite, fashion model and cabaret performer, all of the things I am today LOL
· Demond: Venturing to do reality show?
I would love to do a reality show and actually star in my own show. Richie Skye and have thrown around a few ideas. Right he thinks he is going to be behind the scenes, but I am sure I can convince to get some camera time with me.
· Richie Skye: you’re into music.. tell me more about your genre/audience?.. Are you going to continue doing music?
Richie: WOW....my favorite genre - hmmm. Right now, I'm heavy into pretty hard-hitting R&B. I think that we're about to start hearing some great new experimental R&B with Brandy's new album. Her new song with Chris Brown is amazing. That's the type of sound that I think we're going to be hearing more of in the next few months. Alot of my own new project is going to be hard-hitting R&B, with some POP sensibilities, so I'm looking forward to exploring those sounds. And yes, I will probably work with music in some capacity until the day I die.
· Any upcoming projects for “The Morning Wood Show” that we should look forward too?
Richie: Well, we are about to finish taping Season 1 of the show after a few more episodes, and after that we'll take a break to prep for Season two. We are going to really expand the format of the show in Season 2 - we've got a great episode on relationships coming out so there will definitely be more of those types of shows. Now that we have this platform, its important for us to really say something important to people and hopefully change some lives.
· Any mentionables/memorables ..something off the wall that happened during a interview or event that you hosted?
Demond: I dont think we will ever forget the on the spot interview given to us Frank Gatson who has worked closely with Beyonce, Destiny's Child, Envouge and Tyreese. We had a scheduled interview with new artist Luke James in Baltimore on the BET Tour with Estelle, but we had no idea Frank was his manager. Richie Skye recognized him first and we almost fell off our seats. We were overjoyed when he granted us a few words with him. Both interviews can be found on our youtube page.
· So you host 1st Fridays Events around town in Washington D.C. Metro area…tell us more about this so that our viewers can come out and support.
Richie: Our First Friday Social Networking Happy Hour is really a great way for our social-media savvy #teammorningwood community to come out and network, meet, have some drinks and bring friends to learn more about the show. But its become bigger than the show. Its really fun to interact with and meet some of the people who support us and they share alot with us. And let's face it, everyone loves a good happy hour and everybody really loves a FIRST FRIDAY happy hour, so its been a great event. And we look forward to seeing everyone at our next one!
