Tony Tetuila’s Life is a Journey of Resilience and Grace

In this special episode of With an S, produced in collaboration with the Egwu Vinyl Street Carnival, Deji and Dami sit down with Nigerian music pioneer, Tony Tetuila, for an unfiltered and deeply reflective conversation about his legacy. Headlining the Egwu Vinyl Street Carnival, the Golden Boy of Africa traces his journey from joining The Remedies, one of Nigeria’s pioneering musical groups, to the experiences and conflicts that ultimately pushed him toward a solo career. He speaks candidly about the sting of betrayal, the value of loyalty, and the sense of family he found in Plantashun Boiz, alongside the challenges of finding his footing as a solo artist. This episode is a portrait of a legend whose songs and influence defined an era in Nigerian music and continue to remind us that no matter what naysayers say or wish for, they do not control the trajectory of your life. Watch him perform live on the 23rd of December 2025, headlining the Egwu Vinyl Street Carnival. Get your tickets here: https://www.eventporte.com/egwucarniv... Hosted on Acast.

Roses are red, our passports are green, ‘Japa’ is migration to a country you’ve never been. Loosely translated from Yoruba, japa means to run away, and it’s what many Nigerians living in the country today aspire to do in the midst of rising inflation, insecurity, and unemployment. On this episode, host Abimisola of the Japa Diaries Podcast, surfs the waves and their ripple effects on our identities. On board with her are Nigerian-American, Mrs. Tayo Iyiola and Black British returnee Chef Wunmi Durosinmi-Etti. Follow the trio as they sail back and forth across the Atlantic, visiting former presidents, Nollywood icons, and the most elusive Nigerian of them all - the ‘I Just Got Backs’. Hosted on Acast.

Good Girl LA on the Power of Rebellion

In this episode, GoodGirl LA takes us inside her journey of artistry and reinvention, beginning with her early love for writing lyrics and the sparks of inspiration she found watching icons like Lady Gaga. She speaks on how intuition shapes her fashion, her performances, and the worlds she creates—always balancing beauty with chaos. GoodGirl LA unpacks the symbolism behind her use of knives, not as mere shock value but as an emblem of power and rebellion against expectations placed on women. She describes her music as both weapon and elixir, a force to cut through limitations and awaken creativity in others. From worldbuilding her latest project to reframing the “good girl” narrative as defiance and liberation, she shares why her work is bigger than herself. Ultimately, GoodGirl LA’s story is one of embracing authenticity and inspiring the next generation to take up space boldly. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
