I am so excited to start off season 2 with  #IAMCJ (@iamcjmusic).  To me, she is part of what this platform is all about.  Talented, unique and up and a force.  I discovered her music through none other than Richard Murphy and was immediately transported into a different world of beautiful arrangements, unique harmonies, unexpected notes and all from one source.  IAMCJ writes and produces in a way where she commands the performance.  I was excited to learn about her journey, her process and the way her faith has played a part in it all.  With a new Album coming with the first single "R&B Meets Scripture" out now, this is an artist you want to get familiar with.  Welcome, to Season 2 of Talent You Should Know

While coming into music may have been an "accident" , there is no question that it is his purpose.  Fresh off of releasing their new single "Holy Water" from their upcoming EP KL.Z (@kl.zmusic) is a duo that will give you vibes of Phil Collins and Maroon 5 but with a fresh distinction that makes them oh so unique.  I sat down with one half of the (now) duo and discussed the beginning, the process and hope for the future with this young man and I have no doubt that longevity is part of that road.  Take a listen and make sure that they are in your rotation.

Lucky Church - Global Liaison and Dir. of Client Relations at Mungo Creative Group... really needs  no introduction but I am privileged to have the opportunity to do so.   Working with the likes of Billy Porter, Fat Joe, Nike, Wu-Tang Clan,  BET, Universal Records, DJ Khaled and many others he is the go to "super-connector" behind the scenes.  From humble beginnings,  working his way up through the industry as an artist and slowly honing his talents as a manager and eventually becoming the publicist to be reckoned with - he is one of the most genuine and intelligent people I've had the pleasure of speaking with.  So much so - there were moments during our interview (and research) that I had to take a pause... and exhale.  With such insight as "Don't pray for what you're not willing to maintain" and taking the time to " Understand the path from Pain to glory" - he is teaching everyone to show up for yourself before anyone else.  But while doing all of these things - he has remained humbled, been a part of some of the most creative campaigns and guided some of the most influential creatives we know - while being one himself.  Come on this journey with me... and I guarantee you will take away much more than you expected but all that you needed and more.
