“Aquí Es Donde Todo Empezó. Este Es El Momento En El Que Me Enamoré Del Jazz
“Aquí es donde todo empezó. Este es el momento en el que me enamoré del jazz. ¡Escucha eso! Ves, la melodía es solo el punto de partida. ¿Me entiendes? La música es solo una excusa para sacar afuera tu verdadero yo”. ~Joe Gardner, SOUL NOTAS DE PRODUCCIÓN ¿Qué es aquello que te hace único? SOUL, la nueva película de Pixar Animation Studios, presenta a Joe Gardner (voz en inglés de Jamie Foxx), un profesor de música de una escuela secundaria cuya verdadera pasión es el jazz. “El mayor sueño de Joe es convertirse en pianista profesional de jazz”, señala Pete Docter, director de la película. “Así que cuando le ofrecen la rara e irrepetible oportunidad de tocar con una de las grandes, Joe siente que ha llegado a la cima de la montaña”. Pero un pequeño traspié lo lleva de las calles de la ciudad de Nueva York a El Gran Antes, un lugar fantástico donde las almas nuevas obtienen su personalidad, carácter e intereses antes de ir a la Tierra. Según cuenta Docter, la idea de este mundo peculiar lleva 23 años gestándose. “Empezó con mi hijo, ahora de 23 años, quien desde el instante en que nació, ya tenía una personalidad”, señala Docter. “¿De dónde vino eso? Yo pensaba que la personalidad se desarrollaba a través de la interacción con el mundo. Y, sin embargo, estaba bastante claro que todos nacemos con un sentido único y muy específico de quiénes somos”. “En nuestra historia, todos nacen con un alma”, continúa Docter. “Y esas almas no aparecen así porque sí, sin estar preparadas, sino que son entrenadas y se les da una personalidad e intereses”.

Donnell Rawlings

Since Dave Chappelle had business to take care of in Africa, Donnell was asked to step into the huge shoes Dave left behind, and host the Lost Episodes. “Hilarious” is what Linda Stasi of The New York Post wrote. His unique brand of observational humor earned Donnell co-hosting duties On Power 105ʼs (NYʼs #1 Hip Hop and R&B radio station) morning show “Egypt and Ashy in the Morning”. He is now co-hosting “The Big Tigger Morning Show” on WPGC in Washington DC. Currently, Donnell can be seen regularly on E!ʼs hit show “Chelsea Lately,” MTVʼs new show “Hatin.ʼ”.

From his weekly guest appearances on New Yorkʼs Hot 97 Morning Show, to his role in the blockbuster Spider-Man II and his position as resident “Funny Guy” on the Ricki Lake Show, Donnell rise to stardom may not have been “overnight”, but the journey has given him the life experience to keep his humor edgy and relevant.

This Is Where It All Started. This Is the Moment Where I Fell in Love with Jazz
“This is where it all started. This is the moment where I fell in love with jazz. Listen to that! See the tune is just the starting point, y’get me? The music is just an excuse to bring out the YOU.” ~Joe Gardner, “Soul” PRODUCTION NOTES What is it that makes you...YOU? Pixar Animation Studios’ all-new feature film “Soul” introduces Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie Foxx) – a middle-school band teacher who has a passion for jazz. “Joe wants more than anything to become a professional jazz pianist,” says director Pete Docter. “So when he’s offered a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play with one of the greats, Joe feels he’s reached the top of the ultimate mountain.” But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth. According to Docter, the idea for this unique world was 23 years in the making. “It started with my son—he’s 23 now—but the instant he was born, he already had a personality,” says Docter. “Where did that come from? I thought your personality developed through your interaction with the world. And yet, it was pretty clear that we’re all born with a very unique, specific sense of who we are. “In our story, everyone is born with a soul,” continues Docter. “And those souls don’t just show up unprepared, they’re trained and given personality and interests.” Joe Gardner, however, doesn’t feel like he belongs in this land of new souls.
