In this episode of Show Up 2 Heal, Dwayne Morton sits down with hip hop artist, creator, and father Mello Will for a powerful conversation about purpose, consistency, identity, creativity, positive influence, self-belief, personal growth, and using music to empower others. Mello shares how years of consistency helped shape his career, how his artist name evolved to Mello Will, and why creating music without putting himself in a box has allowed him to keep growing both personally and creatively. They also explore the influence of family, reggae, R&B, jazz, hip hop, manifestation, affirmations, authenticity, collaboration, inner-child identity, and what happens when something you love begins to reveal a deeper purpose.
