(January 20, 2026) - "Their family was the richest family," said film director Dwayne Buckle about the focus of his documentary Great Mysteries of Akhenaten. "Judaism started with that family. Moses lived around that time..."

Buckle, who has released many films through his company 360 Sound and Vision, said the motivation for this documentary was to present the truth about Egypt's most controversial Pharoah Akhenaten. According to the documentary Akhenaten was a very popular Pharoah and was born Amenhotep IV. He changed his name five years into his rule. It explains why he made that name change during his rule of Egypt in the 18th Dynasty. It talks about the rule of his son/son-in-law Tutankhamun at five years-old and what his advisors did and the mysteries behind his death at age 18.

"...It's history that was lost. I want to tell the truth about what happened to us in the past," Dwayne pointed out when I asked what his motivation was in making a documentary on Akhenaten. "It's been written by people who didn't understand."

Just as famous and popular as Akhenaten was his wife Nefertiti, who had six daughters with him. She was just as popular because of her personality and physical beauty. Akhenaten, who left behind many poems, had one that called Nefertiti - "beauty comes."

According to the Great Mysteries of Akhenaten, one of his daughters married Tutankhamun and that is how he became King of Egypt at the age of five years-old. It documents how Akhenaten's wife Nefertiti served as Pharoah for a time. Details are provided about Akhenaten's other son Smenkhkare.

"In the documentary you can see...his belief in one God," Dwayne said.

He said historians have portrayed Akhenaten as white and that the people who built the pyramids were slaves. Falsehoods according to Buckle.

"They were not slaves. It was a great economy and city. Well-constructed 12, 000 years in advance (of Akhenaten's rule). Akhenaten came later. There was lots of gold, lots of greenery and wheat," Dwayne continued. "His wife (Nefertiti) was known as a loving person. They had six daughters together."

The documentary also suggests other unknown details about Nefertiti. It is known now that they were a very popular couple. The documentary also brings out that Moses was a follower of Akhenaten and much more about the birth of Christianity.

"That history has been buried. The Alexandria books were burned...history about the slave trade...lots of that history was burned," Buckle pointed out.

"When we learn about ancient Greeks...they marveled at ancient Egypt," Dwayne said. "Everything was devoted to God."

"(At the time) There were several gods of ancient Egypt. Aten was a god but back then they wrote in hieroglyphic and a ‘sun' meant god," he pointed out when I was talking about Akhenaten worshipping the sun. "Hieroglyphics were their language. It (‘sun') is just a word for god. A symbol that looks like the sun. There is a connection in the Bible to ancient Egypt."

The documentary also brought out how Akhenaten changed how art was styled or depicted. He demanded it be more real-life. You can tell the difference in his images as the latest show him with long facial bone structure and belly. This began the debate on why his features and body shape is that way.

"It is something that families can watch together," Dwayne said about his Great Mysteries of Akhenaten documentary which was release in late 2025 and is currently streaming at TUBI TV. "To reeducate them."

Director Dwayne Buckle, a native New Yorker, has his own film studio 360 Sound and Vision. His company has produced and released many films such as The Minority, about race, which won a Choice Award in 2007. Another film is The Glasses (2006), about a guy who finds glasses that can see into the future. His The Glasses film received a Platinum Award in 2008. He released Cybornetics in 2012, a film about life in the future. Then released The Glasses 3D released in 2022.

Buckle has produced over 54 projects, not to mention the many projects he has directed or did the sound for. His Great Mysteries of Akhenaten is also available on DVD and Blu-Ray. Some of his other projects, aside from being on TUBI, are also on Prime Video and Fawesome.  www.360SoundandVision.com www.Tubi.com

The Pulse of Entertainment: Billboard Chart-Topping Saxophonist Jackiem Joyner to Release New Album ‘Every Part of Me' on his New Label Shanachie Entertainment

(January 13, 2026) - "I enjoy the process," said Billboard chart-topping saxophonist Jackiem Joyner about his new upcoming album "Every Part of Me" (Shanachie Entertainment). "Sometimes it gets annoying, but I enjoy the process."

This new album, "Every Part of Me," is his first release on his new record label Shanachie Entertainment. Shanachie is the home of KeKe Wyatt, Meshell Ndegeocello, Keiko Matsui, George Clinton, Kim Waters and Paul Taylor to name a few. The debut project of Jackiem Joyner on Shanachie will be released January 16, 2026.

"Danny, the V.P., he reached out to me...started a conversation," Jackiem said when I asked about his new record label deal with Shanachie. "He asked where I'm trying to go with my music...I felt it was the right time (to sign)."

The "Every Part of Me" project features assistance from A. Ray Fuller on guitar; two-time Grammy Award nominated Timothy Bailey, Jr. on bass and as a producer on two songs; Kyle Bolden (Stevie Wonder) on guitar; Latin Grammy Award nominated Kay-ta Matsuno on guitar; Brian Simpson (Janet Jackson) on piano; Brandon Harris on drums; Jermone Randall on bass and Gibert Fambro as the mixer.

"I love writing music and songs," Jackiem said about the new project. "Two of the songs I teamed up with a producer - Tim ("Where I Belong" and "Silk"). They are all originals. I do all the production...arranging."

"I did have something in mind," he said when I asked where the concept for the album came from. "I perform all over the world and don't give all of myself."

Which is why the new album is titled "Every Part of Me." Joyner said this time he did not hold back. The album is full of songs that are all different in every way. The production and arrangement are masterful.

"I try to give each song its own place," Jackiem Joyner admitted when I mentioned how awesome the production/arrangement is for each song. "It happens organically, when I'm producing...I make it about the song I'm writing. Each makes its own statement. The sequences come together nicely. I fell in love with the sequences (of the album)."

Jackiem Joyner, a Norfolk, Virginia native, is such a legend in the Contemporary Jazz genre that Syracuse, New York gave him a Key to the City. He has collaborated with such high-profile artists and musicians as Angela Bofill, Najee, Jean Carne, Ronnie Laws, Keiko Matsui, Peter White and George Duke. He has garnered a total of three Billboard #1 hits and eight Billboard Top Five Chart hits. Aside from Contemporary Jazz, Jackiem Joyner is also fluent in R&B, Soul, Blues, Funk and Pop.

"I never thought I'd play the saxophone," he added when I asked about his background as a musician. "I thought I was going to be a drummer. I picked up the sax at 13. It was fresh, challenging, and complicated. It's also rewarding ...when you play it correctly. So, I put the drums down and picked up the sax."

The "Every Part of Me" project on Shanachie Entertainment will be released January 16th. The first single from the project is "Just Like That" featuring Brian Simpson and it is out now.

Jackiem Joyner is also an author. His novel "Zarya: Cydnus Final Hope," published August 16, 2016 via Amazon Books, was recognized by the Silver Literary Titan Awards. It is a science fiction novel. His other novel is titled "Minor Assassin", and it was published by Barnes & Noble. He has also published a guidebook "How to Turn Your Music Talent into a Six Figure Income Machine" (Amazon Books).
