Episode 295 - LL Lil

Episode 295 brings Richmond, Virginia artist LL Lil to the show for a chill conversation! We discussed his initial decision a couple of years ago to take his craft more seriously and start dedicating more time and intention towards improving his skills. He recapped his move from Brooklyn to Richmond and the important role that building a team around himself has done for his career and trajectory. I enjoyed hearing about his most recent release “Trauma Tape” and what his goals for this year are. These include new music, visuals and creating different ways to connect with listeners via social media. It was easy to pick up on his cool and calm demeanor through this chat and I think that approach will continue to take him far along his journey. Shoutout to LL Lil for the time and as always shoutout to Dom for the initial connection!

Episode 294 - Lee

Lee is an artist who has dedicated to the craft and artform of Hip-Hop for many years. This week he joined me on episode 294 to discuss more about where this has led him to in the present day. Originally residing in Columbus, Ohio he told me about his move to Charlotte and how his prior practice on writing and recording in studios helped prepare him to keep elevating following the change of environment. We discussed his most recent EP “Medura Blend” that dropped at the end of 2025. The project is set to receive a part 2 very soon and Lee told me about what the next installment will entail as he aims to show his versatility on the lyrical side while also giving listeners a snapshot into his current life overall. His values on family, work life balance and the impact he looks to leave with his music all resonated with me and I hope they can do the same for you as well. Thanks to Lee for his time this week and a real cool conversation!

Episode 293 - Danny NoNo

Danny NoNo is the founder of the amazing independent label Big Eleanor Records and I was very happy to welcome him to the show this week after we initially got in touch a few months back! With a musical background as a drummer, Danny and I discussed his shift from making music to leading the charge for Big Eleanor. He talked about the initial challenges of getting the label up and running and highlighted the 3 artists signed to the collective. I loved hearing him discuss the chemistry and bond they’ve managed to forge over the years as collaborators both working with one another and on each artist's solo efforts. Danny also revealed what the label has up its sleeve in 2026 and it will be very exciting to see how it unfolds. I was thrilled to speak with Danny and look forward to chatting with some of the other Big Eleanor artists very soon!

Episode 292 - Andre Williams

This week on episode 292 I spoke with CEO and producer Andre Williams. Andre is the founder of I Swim With Sharks, a distribution platform aiming to help independent artists navigate the music industry through insight and educational tools. We discussed the origins of the brand and Andre’s passion for helping up and coming artists learn best practices while helping them get their music heard and more importantly helping them generate real results. He broke down his previous label experiences and what he learned that helped and inspired him to take the route he’s on today. I was very impressed with his passion for the movement and the excitement he has for the brands next steps this year and beyond. Thanks to Andre, Tori and Dom for helping make this conversation happen and I hope some of you are able to tap in with I Swim With Sharks really soon!

Episode 291 - Chase Alexander Chadwell

This week I returned to The Hub in Canton, Ohio for an awesome in person sit down with Canton’s own talented visual artist Chase Alexander Chadwell. Chase and I originally got connected at Jéan P The MC’s album release show in October and shortly after my interview with Napolean Solo he reached out about being a guest. This was definitely an opportunity I was excited for as Chase is the first podcast producer and videographer I’ve been able to speak with on the show! He also co-produced this episode so shout to him for taking the time to do that! We discussed his initial move to Wisconsin and back to the city of Canton where he and Jéan began a consistent run of work together leading to his main role as the producer of the Say What You Mean Podcast. From there Chase has been able to connect and collaborate with many local acts and artists which has helped continue to grow his network and skills all in real time. Citing Joe Lewis and Jordan Tucker as main supporters and inspiration in his work, Chase talks about not only what he’s learned from them but what he’s looking to apply moving forward into the next chapter of his journey. This will include the launch of “Chasing Artistic Content” a brand that will house his many productions and projects starting this year in 2026. I could tell in our conversation that he’s very excited to not only launch this awesome brand but also to keep putting himself out there and pushing past the limits of his own comfort zone. There were most definitely a lot of gems in this one for any kind of creative to pull from and I want to thank Chase again for having this idea to connect. I’m thrilled to see what he has planned this year and look forward to working with him more on future collaborations!

Episode 290 - Adam Wall

Back in November I had the pleasure of joining Adam Wall on his amazing platform Passion Projects for an awesome conversation! This week I was able to return the favor by welcoming Adam to the show for episode 290! We discussed Adam’s background in music as an artist and producer. He told me about his decision to shift towards podcasting and the origins of Passion Projects which launched last May. Adam described the many learning curves of being a solo show runner while also working heavily on different social media content. That’s not to mention the other aspects of his personal life which he’s managed to balance in an efficient way as well. I think what stood out to me from initially discovering Adam’s platform and through this conversation is his genuine nature and his ability to help others through the power of stories and shared experiences. I want to extend another big thanks to him for supporting my work and for everything he has going for him! My hope is that anyone looking to launch a podcast or speaking platform of their own can take a lot of gems from this one!

Episode 289 - Etano

On episode 289 of I was joined by Etano to share some of his powerful story of triumph and positivity! He discussed the major shift that occurred for him and strengthened his faith and relationship with God and ultimately led him on the path of creativity as an artist. This also directly inspired his most recent release titled “God Got Me” that in my opinion is a true testament to his mission and purpose as an artist. We also discussed his experience rolling out the track directly to his fans via Bandcamp and the different ways he’s looking to keep connecting with them in future releases. Etano also gave insight on his own show the “BT5 Series” and how he’s been able to connect with some amazing creatives through the platform. With a new album in the works, a festival planned for September and a lot more episodes of his podcast, Etano is lining up quite the year for himself and I’m excited to see it unfold! Big thanks to him for joining me on this one!

Episode 288 - Angel Danielle

Angel Danielle is an artist keeping her positive message and purpose at the forefront of her music and to kick off the podcast in 2026 she brought her amazing energy to episode 288! Angel talked about her development as an artist in recent years and how she’s been able to keep refining her craft. Her goal to help inspire others extends not only in her songs but also in her work within her community as a teacher and philanthropist which has served as an extension of what she does creatively. She gave insight on the story behind both of her recent singles “Wake Up” and “Bounce Back” that both tell a story and contain many layers of messages and story telling in their own unique way. I think what Angel is doing to give back to others and the attention to detail she has for what she does is remarkable and doesn't go unnoticed. I thank her for stopping by to share her story and help kick off the sixth year of The Proven Knowledge Podcast in a great way!
