    On the We Sound Crazy podcast, KevOnStage and Mark JP Hood discuss their BET+ hit series, Churchy, and its significant evolution from a self-funded, "guerrilla-style" production to a major network show. We get the behind the scenes story on how the first season was funded by KevOnStage and his wife Melissa, leading to them handling everything from wardrobe to continuity. For the second season, they got a full production budget and crew, allowing them to expand the show's scope and make it funnier and more authentic, with new storylines for every character. Kev and Mark highlight how the show is a workplace comedy for all audiences, even non-churchgoers, with humor that's universally relatable while still containing inside jokes for "church kids" like themselves.

    This episode is definitely loaded with many crazy stories and also industry insights. Mark JP Hood recalls his first time fully activating his talents when he tap-danced to Kirk Franklin in his church on a dry-erase board. KevOnStage shares the show's humble beginnings on the KevOnStage Studios app (Shout out to the GOAT), and how a mutual friend led to a bidding war for the series, with BET having the winning offer. They explain that the fame and attention can be jarring, but his slow, organic rise helped him adapt. Kev also talks about his intentionality in hiring Black women, a lesson he learned from a pivotal job interview early in his career. Lastly, listen and watch to find out who Kev and Mark's dream cameos would be for the next season of Churcy. This is truly an episode that you don't want to miss.

    This week, we're joined by Grammy-winning powerhouse vocalist, songwriter, and producer Isaac Carree. With a career spanning over three decades, Isaac’s journey is a masterclass in musical evolution and unwavering faith. From his beginnings as a teenage prodigy with gospel legend John P. Kee, to his time as a member of the trailblazing group Men of Standard, Isaac shares the stories behind his rise to stardom. He opens up about the challenges and triumphs of his solo career, his eye-opening experiences touring with mainstream icons like Tim McGraw & Faith Hill and the Bad Boy Reunion Tour, and the valuable lessons he learned about the business of music. Isaac recounts working on the remix to "Clean This House" with R&B legend R. Kelly — sharing a behind-the-scenes story of how the collaboration came to be and the profound compliment Kelly paid him, saying Isaac has a "flute in his throat." Isaac also talks about the incredible, mutual admiration between his group, Men of Standard, and the legendary R&B group 112, revealing how they were huge fans of each other's music and even took inspiration from one another. He gets candid about the struggles of stepping out as a solo artist after years of being in a group, battling fear and anxiety, and how the support of his mentor and friend, Kirk Franklin, was instrumental in his success. Kirk's belief in him, allowing him to open for major tours and celebrating his achievements, provided a crucial "layup" for his solo career. Join us for a deep conversation that covers everything from the golden era of 90s R&B to the power of authentic relationships. Press play now!

    Get ready for a deep dive into the world of TA Thomas, Mississippi's own singer, songwriter, and producer, as he joins the We Sound Crazy couch! From his early days as the "bridge guy" in the collective Next Town Down to earning a Grammy nomination for his co-write on Chris Brown's Breezy album, TA Thomas's journey is a testament to artistic evolution. He's blazing a unique trail by blending R&B, blues, country, and soul into a sound he proudly calls Southern Soul. His latest project, The Southern Soul EP, is out now and ready for you to vibe to.


    A true vocal architect, TA discusses how his church upbringing and deep appreciation for hymns and gospel music inform his rich, layered sound. He shares insights into his creative process, including his preference for live instrumentation over loops and his collaborative spirit, working with talents like Lucky Daye, Tunji Balogun of Def Jam Records, and Diane Warren. TA opens up about the inspirations behind Southern Soul, defining it as "your favorite R&B record being sung in church" and sharing his favorite artists within the genre, from Sir Charles Jones to Sam Cooke. He also touches on the current resurgence of Southern Soul and what it means to him as someone raised on its rich traditions.


    Beyond the music, TA gives us a glimpse into life on the road, from his unique tour essentials (including that infamous "Merce" bag!) to the spiritual journey of his live performances. He discusses the invaluable lessons learned in the music industry, including the importance of staying grounded, prioritizing mental health through journaling, and leaning on family during tough times.
