A Wonderful woman by the name of Lou C Diamond
-How did you get the name Lou C Diamond?
My name is Lou Ann C (Ortolani) Diamond. My Father's name was Luigi Ortolani, I dont like to be called Lou but many people would call me Lou to be 'friendly'. When I was a little girl my brothers called my Lucie, so as I entered a more prominent community position I began to use the name LouC and so it stuck. Im a reiki Master teacher, (I teach reiki Masters a western form of Pagan Reiki "Elemental Reiki") so I entered the metaphysical and psychic community with the title Master. As I became more known in certain paranormal and celebrity communities, those who do not understand, or were perhaps confused by the sensei -student relationship would refer to me as Miss Lucy, and so I am known around the world, in 65 countries, as Miss Lucy.
- When did you decide to start your career in Entertainment ?
My interest is in art and digital production. I produced a local television show for a year. I was thrilled with the technology, and with the platform which I used to build community relationships and events. One day I was interviewed on a radio show and I was hooked. I started a reiki radio show through 'Intuitive Life Network" (which I founded to bring local self-help information to the community) and eventually the universe moved to open doors for the ILN to establish the platform now known as 'Gemjin'
- How did You come about the idea for starting Genjin/Choice Treasures?
Choice Treasures started in 1998. It is my company name. I sold handmade, crafted and die-cast sterling and gold part time as a hobby while I worked for corporations establishing relationships and servicing business to business introductions. In 2001 when I realized I was making a little money for myself and a lot of money for people I did not admire, I left corporate office and made a vow to make a little bit of money for a lot of people whose work I genuinely do admire. Choice Treasures morphed and branched out as I established Choice Call Center, Gemjin jewelry sales and DBA. Choice Treasures is now the umbrella company for Gemjin (Digital Broadcasting) Intuitive Life Network.org, New England Seers, and Masterlucy.com my personal website.
- Where did the idea for gemjin com in and how did you get that started ?
I put together the words Gem + Jin . Gemjin has a magic genie mascot that I used as an information tool and a story character for the website: The Jin who searches the earth for the magical Gems and makes talisman and amulets. It was a fun marketing experiment that proved successful.
After a year of broadcasting on the world's leading paranormal radio station I wanted the freedom to highlight more talent and we launched a radio station on the IntuitiveLifeNetwork.org website. It was hard to say, hard to spell, and hard to find for so many people (especially with the language barriers of my listeners) because I did not have time to make jewelry any more for the Gemjin retail website, we re-launched the broadcast station as Gemjin.com
- What is your favorite song ?
Rainbow a dedication song Kevin Forest from K4S entertain produced. It reminds me that our ancestors are watching us at all times and drives me to make sure when I get to heaven they will be proud of me, keeping my name before God until I get there.
- Pro's and Cons's to the industry ?
The entertainment industry is like any other industry Caviat Emptor (buyer be ware) it is unique in that the emphasis of quality is often placed on personality rather than integrity. This I find unfortunate for the entire community as true talent is often over looked and mediocre talent is honored.
- How does it feel to have your stations ranked #1 in the United Kingdom for Digital Broadcasting ?
Learning to highlight my own achievements has always been a challenge. I'm not impressed with being number one, I am impressed, one by one, as the lives of our listeners, talents, and sponsors are changed, as their hopes are realized and as their visions become reality. Being on the top of the charts is expected from someone of my background, ability, and work ethic. The Gemjin stream is not limited to internet users like many competitors, you can catch the stream on any and every digital devise. We have forged relationships with every developed audio app available to the public. Im not surprised, and Im not impressed. Rankings dont impress me, people who try impress me.
- You produced a video this year(2011) what inspired you to do such ?
Being a prolific producer it was my dream to make a music video that broke all of the rules of the entertainment industry. I like to break rules. I created the music video 'Its Not Our Fault" with the help of King Cyris. When I told him I wanted there to be a song about the town Centrailia that tells the other side of the story, and that I wanted creative freedom he laughed and promised this was a dream that we could make come true. He pulled two other artists together that I immediately adored and admired Lyrik the vocalist and Mack Mirage. The three of them each created parts of the song and sent it to me. I make the script, did the logistics and scouting, shot the footage and edited the video. I was very happy with the end result. It is not like any other music video and has set the trend we see shifting away from sex, violence and the mirage of fame and fortune in music video production. I have only King Cyris to thank for this wonderful experience.
- What adivce do you have for the people that are trying to do, what you have already mastered ?
All it takes to succeed is perseverance. Every day try to make one move toward your goal, seek the counsel of people you admire and respect. Successful people always want to help others succeed. If anyone does not want to help you, they are still scrounging to find success and can offer you nothing anyway.
-What can people expect from GEMJIN in 2012 ?
Gemjin will be holding a public event this year if the God wills it, so we can bring some of the wonderful people of Gemjin together. I wrote a song for the Gemjin Mix Tape Vol II and will be creating a music video with some inspiring and memorable visuals and continue to expand the platform as we bring more shows to the station from around the globe with more comedy. some politics and lots of inspiration.
- What inspired Gemjin TV ?
Gemjin TV was a natural evolution since many of the producers, like myself, at Gemjin have experience in video production. It made sense to expand the platform to highlight that stream of talent.
