March 13, 2012 - PRLog -- BNW Global™ is pleased to announce that Shyan Selah has been invited to speak and perform at Central Washington University March 29th in honor of their Wildcat Summer Festival held at the Student Union and Recreation Center (SURC).  An alumnus of CWU and inductee of the Wildcat Football Hall of Fame, Selah is now an international recording artist and activist who has made it a mission to incorporate higher education in his entertainment and community projects. From 11:00am to 7:30pm he will spend the day at CWU participating and performing in various events while connecting with the student body.

Selah’s involvement in the day’s activities was facilitated by Geoff Foy, the director for CWU’s international department, The Office of Global Services and Initiatives, who saw Shyan Selah and his band, Shyan Selah & The Republic of Sound, performing in Seattle and learned of his history as a CWU student.

“[Shyan’s] performance is part of an annual festival that Central's Summer Session program sponsors in order to inform Central students about the opportunities and benefits of taking classes during summer,” said Foy. “Given Shyan's history with Central, especially his participation in the 1996 Division II championship football team, and his post-Central music career and youth outreach activities, it is clear that his performance at the festival will attract lots of attention among students, staff and faculty.”

On the 29th, which coincides with Selah’s birthday, Selah Selah & The Republic of Sound will be performing and Selah will be speaking about his experiences as a student at Central Washington University, judging a student talent show and conducting a meeting and performance with campus student groups. He will also receive a medal from the Wildcat Football team for his accomplishments as part of the 1996 Division II Championship team that was inducted into the CWU Hall of Fame in 2006.

As an artist, activist and entrepreneur who is the founder and CEO of his own entertainment firm, BNW Global™, Selah is currently back in the studio recording his next album with super producer Jon Silva (Sean Kingston, Lil Wayne, Jagged Edge, George Clinton), hosting his own talk radio show, LIFE, the opening of his own live performance venue in Tacoma, Wash called Adonai Café and other international music and film projects to be released later this year. He has performed throughout the nation, often working hand in hand with colleges and universities, and his band, Shyan Selah & The Republic of Sound, perform heavily throughout the Northwest Region.  Later that evening, they will also perform at the Starlight Lounge in Ellensburg from 10:00pm to midnight.

“To come back to campus and get re-indoctrinated into the Football Hall of Fame, which I missed from being on tour, is a blessing and a gateway to a relationship that is going to be very transformative for the educational community,” said Selah. “The ideal is to integrate the mechanics and working components of the entertainment industry as a whole and find holes to integrate and weave education and find some kind of synergy that gives kids the opportunity to be inspired, motivated and driven to continue to choose education.”
