The music industry has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, enabling music producers to explore various genres like R&B, pop, rap, Electronic Dance Music (EDM) and more. The popularity of streaming platforms and online downloads makes it a great time to be in the industry. Multi-platinum producer and songwriter London Summers is one of the producers who is enjoying this boom.

If you find the name familiar, his work with some of the powerhouses in today’s music scene has a lot to do with it. Jamal Simons a.k.a London Summers has worked with the #1 hit DJs in the world, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike being the most featured in the list. Not only has London worked with the stalwarts, but his own musical career also has a lot to do with his success as well. He brings his own take on R&B in the slow-burning track ‘Valley’. The song creates a blend of smoky notes, dimly-lit tones, bass-led sounds and vocals that has the listener swaying. Another hit of his, ‘Downtown Savanna’ is a hit single that weighs in on the pros and cons of a sinking relationship.

The multi-platinum producer, songwriter and entrepreneur has not just created a name in the music industry but is also exploring his own with his innovative brand, Eria. London has worked with the music industry stalwarts as a producer, that includes names like Wiz Khalifa, Young Thug, and others. His work establishes a relationship between pop culture’s trending performers and emerging industries and has been featured at Tomorrowland and Combs Enterprises. As an entrepreneur, his company is working to create an innovative brand concept for the cannabis industry. Eria, a smart cannabis storage device, is a revolutionary solution that has already raised its first round of $500K+.

So, more than just music, London has much more under his belt that is waiting to see the light of dawn.

Sitting in the dimly lit theater, I had no idea what to expect as the opening credits of “The Firing Squad” began to roll. Little did I know that I was about to embark on an emotional journey that would leave me reaching for tissues and struggling to catch my breath.

The film follows the true story of three Christians facing execution by firing squad in a third world country. Directed by Timothy A. Chey, it features a stellar cast including James Barrington, Kevin Sorbo, and Cuba Gooding Jr. Each actor brings their character to life with such authenticity and depth that it’s impossible not to be fully immersed in their struggles and triumphs.

As the plot unfolded, I found myself drawn into a world of despair and desperation, but also one of unwavering faith and hope. The characters’ journey from darkness to light, from despair to redemption, resonated with me on a deeply personal level. I couldn’t help but be moved by their courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.

But it was the performances that truly stole the show. James Barrington’s portrayal of the protagonist’s internal turmoil was nothing short of mesmerizing, while Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr. delivered powerhouse performances that left me in awe.

And then there was the message of the film—that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there is always hope. That even in our darkest moments, faith has the power to transform lives and bring about redemption. It was a message that hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me with tears streaming down my face and a renewed sense of purpose.

As the credits rolled and the lights came up, I found myself struggling to put into words the impact that “The Firing Squad” had on me. All I could manage was, “I cried buckets of tears.” And I wasn’t alone. As I looked around the theater, I saw others wiping their eyes and exchanging emotional glances.

In the end, “The Firing Squad” wasn’t just a movie—it was an experience. An experience that left me feeling inspired, uplifted, and profoundly grateful for the power of cinema to touch the soul. And for that, I will be forever grateful.

The movie is set to premiere in the theatres worldwide on August 2, 2024. And this is definitely a must watch movie, reminding people of the strength of faith.
