Firey Phoenix & Viva Fidel are RELATIVE THEORY- The story: “Viva” Fidel is the son of Brian Verdin, a political activist and educator, LaShawndra “Firey Phoenix” is the daughter of Laura Vernon who is an advocate for the youth in public education systems. Now “Un-ironically”, Brian Verdin and Laura Vernon grew up living next door to each other as teens. During the process of completing this project it was discovered Fidel & Firey’s Grandfathers also worked hard in the same factory together in the 50’s. So it’s all “Relative”, the connection between Firey and Fidel was inevitable in “Theory” and in truth. The Theory of Relativity collaboration project is best described as HipHop/Soul. Fidel spits a jazzy, spoken word influenced flow, combined with the bluesy Firey Phoenix who sings, or who can sang, as they say ,scats and even raps together produce what they call “Spangin’”!! Viva Fidel Viva Fidel is known for his aggressive hip hop music and film and on the new “Theory of Relativity” album he smoothly switched gears and delivers some beautiful food for thought. VivaFidel has released several group & solo projects and has recently headlined such festivals as Happily Natural (Atl), Peoples Fest (KY) , Meeting Of Styles (Chi) and has opened for Common, N.E.R.D., Too $hort, Krsone & many more. “We needs some leaders/some more emcee teachers/ to contribute solutions/ to organize this revolution” Viva Fidel –“We R The Ones” Firey Phoenix Fiery Phoenix is truly a master-of-all-trades, combining R&B/Soul music with hip-hop and gospel to create a vibe that is reminiscent of the great Lauryn Hill.
