JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — On the heels of the one-year anniversary since the launch of the nationally syndicated, multiple award-winning terrestrial radio show, Shefik presents Invocation, media personality Shefik expands his self-produced and self-hosted show to Jacksonville, Florida. Listeners in the area can tune in at WAMF-DB 90.3 FM, every Thursday at 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. EDT. A total of 15 radio stations and frequencies now enjoy the broadcast at the same weekly time slot nationwide, with a total of 21 radio stations and frequencies overall.
"I welcome the audience at Jacksonville, Florida," says Shefik. "I look forward to servicing them my brand of captivating content."
The most recent episode (which pivots on the topic "Songs to Invoke Miracles") features multi-platinum producer Rickey "Slikk Muzik" Offord (Babyface, Ariana Grande, Chris Brown, Tank, Master P); actor Charles Valentino (Scarecrow in "The Wiz" - 1st National Tour, 1976 and Broadway Revival, 1984); recording artist Bunni Ray of BLUSH; recording artist Sellah (who sang in a Super Bowl commercial for a major brand, as well as in the same commercial that has amassed over 17 million views at YouTube); USA National Miss Garden State 2017 - Amanda Witkowski (who is also 2017 National American Miss New Jersey); and Lachandra (recording artist and owner, Posh by Lachandra); along with messages from Chris Jasper (Member, The Isley Brothers (1973-1983) and Member, Isley Jasper Isley (1984-1987)); multi-platinum songwriter and recording artist Janice Dempsey (Stevie Wonder, Daryl Hall, Smokey Robinson, Mick Jagger, SWV); and recording artist Bonné Williams of Ladies of SKYY (formerly of the group Skyy).
Shefik presents Invocation is a mesmerizing and thought-provoking journey through musical discovery and appreciation that spans the decades. Content includes video footage, and its audio is severed and packaged as a conceptual radio show. Each one-hour episode, executive-produced and hosted by Shefik, highlights one relatable focal point (chosen by Shefik), along with an accompanying playlist of songs (curated by Shefik), encompassing a unique thematic concept that invigorates the audience with creative impact.
Top recording artists, actors, business executives, politicians, community leaders, and other special guests are invited to offer their own commentary on the weekly topic, as a supplement to Shefik's engaging mindset. The radio show's online hub at invocation.co serves as a conduit for discussion of the show, while featuring related videos and auxiliary content.
Future episodes will feature many other legendary recording artists and notable personalities, such as Mary Wilson of The Supremes, Tony Award Winner and 4-Time Grammy Award Nominee Melba Moore, Freddie Jackson, the recently deceased Trisco Pearson of Force M.D.'s, Queen Diva, and Violators Unlimited.
"It has been a privilege to be a part of such an important project as 'Invocation'," says featured guest Satomi Hofmann (Actress, "Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway). "Your insight into marrying music and exploration of universal, and deeply human, themes is not only inspired, but vital as our nation rethinks its ideas about who we are and who we want to be."
The journey continues right here and everywhere.
