Prayers Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

From being jumped into a gang at 13 to becoming the genre-defining cholo goth icon he is today, Leafar Seyer of Prayers, also known as Rafa, sets the bar on what it is to be an artist on your own terms. He exudes street-level confidence and a sense of invincibility that comes not just from surviving being shot at and stabbed, but from beyond conscious awareness. In this episode, Rafa and Joel explore the double-edged sword of manifesting, working with controversial musical co-creators, and the special kind of art that comes from emerging out of survival mode into a place of intentional creative expression.

Carlie Hanson Jan 27, 2023

Show notes

Join us for Episode 2, where Joel speaks with Carlie Hanson on the importance of art as therapy, the idea that every human is born creative and how growing up means figuring yourself out little by little. Hanson recounts her path from working at a McDonald’s drive-thru to moving to LA fresh out of high school, where she slept on her manager’s couch in pursuit of her musical aspirations—all while experiencing life outside of Wisconsin for the first time. Check out Hanson’s upcoming single, “Blueberry Pancakes,” coming out next Friday, February 3.

DE'WAYNE Jan 20, 2023

Show notes

Episode 1 is a raw and sincere conversation where Joel and De’Wayne unpeel layer after layer of each other’s lives, in the pursuit of learning how the artist, and human, was created — from the things that drive them creatively, how tough childhood dynamics shaped them, growing up without money, the hip hop entrepreneurs that lit their paths, and finding their own swagger. How at 24, De’Wayne knew he wasn’t ready but he kept showing up as a kind soul, working hard, being true to his creativity, and today, at 27, as he releases his second album My Favorite Blue Jeans he’s riding the wave as the world is finally ready for De’Wayne to unleash.
