Operation Ask Ms. Hill: Discussion

[petra]

You know what I've been thinking? We could try to arrange some kind of a interview with lauryn. We're fans, and we basically follow her every move, and we have questions...

we could try to find email adress of her representatives and contact them (and by we, I mean admin of FugeesOnline) and say we would like Lauryn to do a mini-interview for our web site via mail, if possible.

then if we got positive answer, we could collect few questions on the forum and ask her.

amazing idea, right? ;D
atleast we can try, there's nothing to lose...

[Nutzz]

Amazing, that's right ! So you're the one who will ask I suppose?

Let us know if they're positive !!!

[hi74]

it's a great project
if we could make would be so great

[Essence]

Great, great idea. I hope getting in touch with her will be easier done than said though.

[Moderator]

That would be really nice wouldn't it. I hope we can make something happen.

[ladona]

Sounds good to me! They can either say, yes or no. If yes, GREAT ;D! If no, then we’ll just get our feelings hurt , that’s all, lol.

Is her manager still Chris Schwartz? I guess we could try and start there. The last time I heard from him was during the first leg of the "Moving Target Tour." He was saying something about Lauryn was “misunderstood.” Speaking of being misunderstood, my question would definitely be: Who is Lauryn Hill, and what does she want people to know about her? That’s a very involved question that would lead to more questions, but I think it would begin to clear up some of the misunderstandings.

I have lots of questions some serious and some fun, but if I could only ask one, that would be it. Anybody else have questions?

[petra]

well, i remember someone posted here an email address for booking lauryn for shows. can't find it now tho..
and mail should be sent from the fugees-online official email address so we come off credible. and i know, from reliable sources that laruyn knows for this site and she visited it before so she might do it!

[puma]

Yeah, I posted her booking information from that company page, but I don't remember which thread. It might be the "new music" thread.

She's slowly but surely throwing herself back in the game. She's now able to be booked for appearances and speaking engagements. Check this out:

www.athletepromotions.com/celebrity/Lauryn-Hill-appearance-booking-agent.php

but don't think this is helpful.
This inquiry form is for PAID corporate appearances, speaking engagements and endorsements only. Due to the volume of emails and calls, we will not respond to inquiries related to autograph requests, donations, non-paying charity events or personal messages to athletes.

we need to continue searching...
i think we might be onto something with this guy Chris, only problem is how to contact him. Chris Schwartz is rather common name, judging by google search..

Don't know if it's fake or what ..??


And for the questions, will ask something about her philosophy, or "message" (her vision of human nature etc...) or something about what kind of recent music she likes? With which currents artists she'd like to work? What does she think of Badu's music?

WME (formerly known as William Morris Endeavor) is the largest talent agency in the world, with offices in Beverly Hills, New York City, Nashville, London, and Miami.

But Lauryn is not listed on the wiki list of artist they represent (or they used to represent).

however on this site, they reffer again to that agency.

has anyone ever heard for Nicole David, her suppose agent?

[ladona]

I haven't had any luck with finding contact info for Schwartz I'll keep trying, though.

I found some info on brothers Joe and Phil Nicolo. One or both of them founded Ruffhouse with Schwartz. I think they still have contact with Lauryn.

Phil's Myspace indicates that he was working on some music with her in 2010: www.myspace.com/philnicolo

Also Phil was or is an adjunct professor at Temple University:
E-mail [e-mail]
Alternate E-mail Address [e-mail]

Joe is on Twitter, but doesn't use it much Joe Nicolo@JoeyCheez
He also has a record company: www.revelmusic.com/about/

With a little more work, I think we should be able to contact one or both of these guys, but I'm supposed to be working, so done for now I know these guys have access to Lauryn, the question is--will they talk to her for us or dismiss us as some crazy fans?


When I get some more free time, I will try to find other possible contacts.

[Nutzz]

Why don't we ask Rohan Marley ?! He has twitter no? Maybe he can tell us if our idea is good and possible, and give us a contact ? ( Even maybe tell directly to lauryn?)

[masdo]

Rohan would be a good idea, but he just annoys me with his she-male lookalike skinny girlfriend.

I don't think that's a good idea. It's really not that difficult. I mean, she can be contacted. It just takes a little time and effort and knowing who to approach and who not to.
