    Episode #293: Nikitaa TALKS Songwriting, Beyonce's Cowboy Carter & More!
    Jun 3 2024
    It is a pleasure to welcome singer-songwriter Nikitaa to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

    Nikitaa is a Los Angeles-based recording artist born and raised in India. They infuse their music with ethereal Pop/R&B influences and their South Asian heritage, creating what they call Goddess Pop – music that emphasizes the fluidity of gender and emotional expression. As a genderfluid demisexual person who predominately uses they/them pronouns, Nikitaa always stresses the importance of representation and inclusivity in the music industry. With almost 6 million YouTube views and Spotify streams combined, Nikitaa's music has instantly captured listeners' attention. Their third single, "Majesty," landed placement on N.M.F. playlists across the world, and their singles through 2020 were released during lockdown with self-directed and produced videos that soared on Spotify and YouTube.

    Throughout 2023, Nikitaa delved into themes of vulnerability and strength in their songs, including "Scheming," "On My Own," "Peter Pan," "Throne," "Daddy Era," and "Truman Show." Their work garnered attention from prestigious platforms such as Rolling Stone India, Radio One India, and Ones to Watch playlist Now Watching.

    Nikitaa's exceptional lyricism and keen ear for music have also led to brand placements with Splice's Pride Month and South Asian Heritage Month campaigns, further solidifying their position in the industry. Nikitaa's talent as a songwriter extends beyond their own projects, with notable credits on tracks for artists such as Trophy Boy (Nightmare, T.O.F.U., and Trophy Boy), Srushti Tawde (Breakfast for Bae), RIKA (Grown Up), Aastha Gill, Munawar Faruqi, and Robica. This versatility and ability to adapt their style to different artists is a testament to Nikitaa's skill and creativity.

    On this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Nikitaa shared the stories about some of her songs, including "Elevator," "Godless," and "Majesty," and revealed her dream collaborators.

    Episode 292: DJ Ashton Martin TALKS Brand Building, Sporting KC & Previews Tacos & Tequila Festival
    May 27 2024
    It is a pleasure to welcome DJ Ashton Martin, one of my longtime friends, back to the Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar platform and, for the first time, to the podcast.

    Ashton differs from your average DJ in his ability to turn each performance into an epic party. Having grown up in the industry and began his music education at a young age, Ashton captures crowds with an immense music repertoire and high-voltage performances. Quickly mixing effortlessly between musical genres has become a trademark quality, a rare skill set that guarantees crowd excitement. DJ Ashton Martin has residencies at Kansas City attractions such as Aura, the Fall, Fontaine Hotel, the Scarlet Room, Society, Westport Ale House, and Woodside Pool. He also had sets at DNVR and the Tivoli in Denver, the McFadden’s Social House in Phoenix, and the Crown Room in St. Louis.

    Ashton has been the official DJ for Sporting KC since 2019 and was the official DJ of the Kansas City Royals from the 2021 to 2023 seasons. He also performed for various charitable organizations, including the Alzheimer’s Association, Big Brothers & Big Sisters, Hope House, the Kansas City Art Institute, and Operation Breakthrough. The Kansas City community awarded Ashton for all his efforts as he was voted the Best of KC Club/Party DJ four times by The Pitch Kansas City from 2013 and 2018 through 2020. Kansas City Magazine was declared Best of KC in 2013, 2020, and 2021. Ashton entertained the College World Series from 2017 to 2022 and performed at several New York City Fashion Week events. He also opened for 98 Degrees, DJ Pauly D, Jack Harlow, and Tory Lanez. Since 2021, he has been involved in the Tacos and Tequila Festival, where he shared the stage with Ludacris, Mario, T.I., and the Ying Yang Twins.

    On this episode of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, DJ Ashton Martin spoke about DJing at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium when Sporting KC took on Lionel Messi and Inter Miami and previewed the 2024 Tacos and Tequila Festival.

  • Episode #291: Rick Stasi TALKS Storytelling, DC Comics & Tiny Toons

    Episode #291: Rick Stasi TALKS Storytelling, DC Comics & Tiny Toons
    May 23 2024
    It is an honor and privilege to welcome author and illustrator Rick Stasi to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

    Rick and I first met at the first Planet Comicon Kansas City in 1999 at the defunct Overland Park International Trade Center, and every time I attend the convention, his booth is one of my first stops. He has credits with DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Charlton Comics, and NOW Comics (The Twilight Zone). Rick also worked on projects for Disney, Warner Bros. (Looney Toons and Tiny Toons), and Lucasfilm (Star Wars). Not only is Rick a prolific creator, but he is also a dedicated educator. For over 20 years, he has been sharing his knowledge and passion for comics, sequential art, and storyboarding as an instructor with the Shawnee Mission School District, the Westport School of Art, and the Kansas City Art Institute.

    Currently, he provides individual instruction and career counseling, demonstrating his commitment to nurturing the next generation of artists. In addition, Rick has excelled in the corporate world, serving as a creative director, graphic designer, and marketer. Outside of the comic world, Rick has explored various creative avenues. He authored Funny You Should Ask: Musings and Verse for Better Or…Poetry, Essays, and Lyrics, a collection that showcases his diverse writing skills. He also released an audio collection: Talking to Myself (To You!), a 60-plus track double album that demonstrates his versatility as a performer. Rick has taken his spoken word selections to live events and even to the airwaves of KKFI 90.FM Kansas City Community Radio. His talents extend to voice acting, with his most notable role being the narrator for Wounded Warriors, a B2B veterans film focusing on mental health.

    On this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Rick Stasi spoke about working at DC Comics, Warner Bros, and Disney. He also previewed his final book, Letters From the Exodus: The Definitive Anthology of Poetry, Musings, Songs and Scripts.
