WHY BIRTHDAYS MATTER

THE STATE OF MY UNION

IN THIS EPISODE I UNPACK HOW I HAVE GIVEN UP ON MYSELF MORE TIMES THAN I'VE PUBLICALLY SHARED. IN 2016, I ACTUALLY PRAYED THAT GOD WOULD TAKE MUSIC AWAY FROM ME COMPLETELY, IF IT WASN'T MY HIGHEST CALLING IN LIFE. ⚡️ MY WORLD FELT LIKE MY WORLD WAS COMPLETELY FALLING AWAY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, AND THEN, SOMETHING SHIFTED FOR ME THIS PAST OCTOBER. ⚡️ JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, I SIGNED MY FIRST MUSIC PUBLISHING DEAL. I AM GRATEFUL THAT QUITTING WASN'T EVER A CHOICE FOR MY LIFE. AND, I AM GRATEFUL TO EACH OF YOU WHO HAVE SEEN ME FULLY, BELIEVED IN ME AND JOURNEYED ON THIS ROAD WITH ME.

HOW “FAST CAR” UNIFIED US

LIFE IS ART & ART IS LIFE! IN THIS EPISODE, I UNPACK THE DIVINE IMPACT OF TRACY CHAPMAN’S “FAST CAR.” SPECIFICALLY- HER COLLABORATION ON THE GRAMMY’S WITH LUKE COMBS AND THE POWER OF MUSIC…AS A CONTRIBUTION TO THE COLLECTIVE.

THE GREATEST NIGHT IN POP

THE OLD PARADIGM IS DEAD. I REFLECT ON THE GRAMMY’S, AND EVERYTHING THAT HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE “SAY SOMETHING” PODCAST - AS WE CELEBRATE THE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! ALSO, THE POWER OF THE NEW NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY “THE GREATEST NIGHT IN POP.”
