Blackberry Wednesday
Blackberry Wednesday is a new and upcoming band that is creating a buzz around Memphis, TN. We came together late April 2007 and are anything but new to the Memphis music scene. All members have previously played in other bands around the mid-south and have now collaborated to form what is Blackberry Wednesday. The sound of our band is an eclectic mix of power pop/rock songs that are energizing and catchy, which makes the foundation of Blackberry Wednesday’s formula. Anyone who has heard our songs has been impressed for many reasons.

Playa Fly
Playa Fly, a native of Memphis, Tennessee represents his hood, South Parkway Village. He was raised by his beloved grandmother, Minnie Mae, a member of the Church of God in Christ, and his father, Bill Chill, a devoted Muslim. As a child, Playa Fly was dealt the teachings of both religious ideologies.
In the early 90's, Playa Fly hooked up with a local DJ in the city, who was making mixtapes and releasing them on the underground scene. He mentions, "At that point in time, there were many rappers popping up and representing different parts of the city, but the south didn't have any representation. Therefore, Gangsta Blac and I began to rep for our part of the city."
