Before you ask “where is KevJumba?”, here’s the statement on the YTF website:

As many of you know, Kev is currently focusing on other professional interests, and as a result will no longer be collaborating as an active member of YTF. Kev is an amazing talent and dear friend, and will always be a part of the YTF brotherhood. We’ll miss you Kev!

2012 YTF Legacy Fall Tour

YTF was conceived as a way to collaborate artistically and interact with fans in an intimate, exciting way never before experienced. YTF’s mission is to not only entertain, but share the group’s personal message of empowerment. The philosophy behind YTF – Yesterday, Today, Forever – is that success and happiness in life start with individual choice: Yesterday is in the past. Today you have a choice. Forever is up to you.

With this message, YTF has created a live show featuring singing, dancing and comedy and a hip, wholesome and positive vibe. The entire YTF crew – Ryan, Victor, Chester, D-Trix, Andrew and JR – welcomes you to share in their dreams, and enjoy the show!

K-Town Reality Show : Episode 7

In K-Town Reality Show Episode 7 “General Joe Cha”, Joe gets super stressed with only a few hours before the club opens. The K-Town crew gathers at the club to get the lowdown from Joe. He needs Saturday night at the club to go well or else he’s out of a job. While assigning roles and giving a walkthrough, Joe’s tension rise when Scarlet continually pokes fun at him. The crew tries to have some fun as they setup for the night, but Joe hits a boiling point with everyone’s side comments, especially Scarlet’s. As they get ready for a night with performers such as S2K, DJ Freddy Ruxpin, and Shin-B on stage and a crowd of more than 3,000 people, things come to a head between Joe and Scarlet. More drama for Scarlet.

The Facebook Song by Dave Bak

Singer David Bak released a music video for his single “The Facebook Song” off his new album “Voices”. In the video, he romances a girl online and offline. In this world of Facebook, he wants to make her the admin of his heart. He feels so strongly about her that he’s willing to deactivate his Facebook account. Skip the technology and live in reality.

The Facebook Song by Dave Bak

Lyrics to The Facebook Song by Dave Bak

I love it when you pop up on my newsfeed
I’ll make sure I like everything you say
You decorate my wall with smiley faces
And invite all your friends to join my fan page
You inbox me to tell me all your secrets
I’ll make you an admin to my heart to show you where I keep them

But you, make me want to
Deactivate my account
For Facebook can’t compare to what we have here right now
I know we live in a world where technology rules
But I rather share reality with you

It seems that things are complicated
Or at least that’s what our status says
But I don’t need a notification
To know that you will love me anyways
I think I fell in love with your smile
On your profile 🙂
It makes me want to visit you and log off right now

But you, make me want to
Deactivate my account
For Facebook can’t compare to what we have here right now
I know we live in a world where technology rules
But I rather share reality with you
