Kindred the Family Soul Announce Six is It! — A Web-based
Reality Series
Source:
www.eurweb.com
(March
2, 2010) *Aja & Fatin Dantzler, known to music
fans as
Kindred the Family Soul,
officially
announced today the arrival of their sixth child and the launch
of their web-based reality series Six is It!
The series premier is available On-Demand beginning March 3,
2010 at the newly revamped www.KindredtheFamilySoul.com and
partner site
www.blackandmarriedwithkids.com.
The bi-weekly episodes which return to the roots of “reality” TV
in a documentary-style narrative format, have been hailed as
ground breaking in the honest depiction of an African-American
family.
“Finally, a real representation of a Family of Color.” – Lamar
Tyler,

The Dantzlers were surprised last summer by the word that Aja
was pregnant with her sixth child, a second boy. They decided
that now was the time to share the story in a long contemplated
reality series. “People have been asking us for years ‘How do
you do it?” says Aja of the balancing act of being celebrated
Recording Artists with their role as parents of a small tribe.
“We don’t think about it,” chimes in Fatin “unlike others, our
Family is our life – not the other way around.”
Six is It! is produced by Aja & Fatin under their KTFS Unlimited
Productions. After canvassing various funding sources, and
receiving ‘recession themed’ rejections for their literal labor
of love, the Soul Train™ Award nominated duo grabbed their Flip™
camera and started shooting in December 2009. In the first
episode, Kindred and their then 5 children drive 800 miles from
Pennsylvania to Georgia to perform, then during their trek home
share a tender family moment by the side of the hi-way
celebrating the Dawn of the Decade alone in the 15 passenger
Ford van.
In keeping with the reality presented by the show, the proud
parents will be performing promotional duties from their home
beginning on March 3rd with an interview on the nationally
syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show. Interviews with bloggers
such as L. Michael Gipson, Patrick Riley, Terry Bello and other
outlets will follow where Aja and Fatin will share the stories
of their real lives as chronicled in Six is It!

“I must say that I’m not a big fan of most reality shows these
days. I was absolutely touched in a big way watching “Six is
It”. It is such a joy to see a family of music & God trying to
do good things in life and raise a healthy & happy family. This
won me over!!!”

“Reality shows are oxymoron’s, which is to say most of them are
fake. That’s why it’s so refreshing to watch Fatin, Aja and
their brood of six wrap us in a loving, creative and
refreshingly real hug on their new show, Six is It.”

“Six is It! is beautiful and brilliant. Fatin and Aja are
honoring us with an inside look at the balancing act between the
entertainment business and an ever growing family. I will be
taking notes, wiping tears from laughter, and hoping to follow
in their footsteps.”

“‘I’ve always loved Kindred’s music and as reports of their
steadily-expanding family have unfolded over the years, I often
wondered how they manage it all. Well, the first episode of
Kindred’s web based reality series Six is It! answers some of
those questions and then some. I’m excited to see more of the
adventures of this neo-soul Jon & Kate + 6!”
