Herb Little: Entertainer of the Future

By Darris Dameron, ENGL 336.002

Herb Little was born and raised in the District of Columbia. As a lifelong resident of the District, he talked with passion about where he was from, speaking of his home as if he knows every corner. A graduate of Bishop McNamera, a private school in Prince George’s County, Maryland, Herb is now in his fourth year at Frostburg State University. He describes himself as “a people person.” As someone who also considers himself as a people person, he was asked what his definition of a people person is, and he replied with “Its more about being able to start the conversation in a friendly matter, no matter who it is.” It was apparent, as throughout our interview, multiple people walking through the echo circle either greeted him, or struck up a short conversation with him.

Herb has no passion like his passion he has for music. With a major in Mass Communications, Herb is looking for a degree to help him reach a career in the music industry. “I want to be a performer, an entertainer, a producer, whatever it takes to be a part of music. I just love music really,” said Herb. And he appears to be on the right foot, hosting his own Internet show titled “The Conversation,” a live chat show that covers music and other common interests. It streams through www.ustream.com.

Herb’s other interests include boxing, various sports and dancing. But if he were stuck on an island with only one thing to do, it would likely be to listen to music. And if you are looking for the name Herb Little in the future, it will likely be tagged in some way, to music.
