    The Edge 180: The Woman Behind the Summit - Carol Crawford on UK Gospel & Transatlantic Connections

    The Edge 180: The Woman Behind the Summit - Carol Crawford on UK Gospel & Transatlantic Connections In this episode of The Edge, host Roger Moore sits down with the phenomenal Carol Crawford, founder of the International Music Summit. A British transplant now based in the US, Carol shares her incredible journey from co-producing Miss Big and Beautiful and running a gospel nightclub in Brixton in the late '80s and early '90s, to becoming a transatlantic "power broker" in the gospel music industry. Carol opens up about her personal mission to bridge the knowledge gap between the UK and US gospel scenes, encouraging artists to understand the business side of their music. She reveals why she left the UK for the US, the unique challenges UK artists face, and the importance of professional education, citing the United Negro College Fund's motto: "the mind is a terrible thing to waste". Get an exclusive look at what attendees can expect from the International Music Summit, including interactive masterclasses, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities with industry executives, artists, and producers from both sides of the Atlantic. Carol details some of the high-profile panelists, such as Dr. MC Nice, Minister Earl Bynum, and Dr. Monica Butler, and shares the inspiring story of how the summit continued even during the pandemic. This conversation is a powerful call to action for UK gospel artists to embrace their unique sound and build a sustainable legacy by collaborating and investing in themselves. #InternationalMusicSummit #CarolCrawford #TheEdgePodcast #UKGospel #USGospel #GospelMusicIndustry #MusicBusiness #TransatlanticConnections #AffinityXtra #RogerMoore #GospelExplosion #ArtistDevelopment #BlackMusicHistory #GospelMusicians https://youtu.be/VXHPVDz7ZyI

    The Edge 184: AI in Gospel Music, Church Politics & Youth Culture

    The Edge 184: AI in Gospel Music, Church Politics & Youth Culture In this episode of The Edge: Host Roger Moore sits down with fellow Affinity Xtra presenter, DJ Mello, for a candid conversation about the intersection of faith, technology, and music production. DJ Mello drops a bombshell about his recent massive output of tracks, revealing he has been heavily utilizing AI to create new Gospel, Drum & Bass, and Neo Soul music. 🔥 Key Topics Discussed: The AI Revelation: DJ Mello admits to producing about five EPs and 15 tracks in just four weeks using AI tools. He breaks down his process: inputting sermon notes and scriptures, generating a structure, and then "tweaking" the vocals and instrumentation to keep it authentic. Faith vs. Technology: Roger and Mello tackle the controversial question: "How on earth is the Holy Spirit meant to work through this?". They compare AI to previous studio innovations like autotune and drum machines, arguing it is a tool for the mission. The "Organic" Sound: Mello explains how he keeps the music sounding "street" and organic, rather than robotic, by adding his own lyrics and cultural flavor. Church & Youth Culture: A passionate discussion on why the church needs to invest in youth outreach, mental health, and "urban" music genres to compete with secular influence. The Independent Hustle: The reality of being an independent artist in the UK and why platforms like Affinity Xtra are vital for artists who don't fit the traditional "Hillsong" mold. Quotable Moments: "I've got a good ten, fifteen tracks ready to drop this week... I must have done about five EPs [in four weeks]." - DJ Mello "Christians... how on earth is the Holy Spirit meant to work through this? But... we were making beats on computers... they didn't see us as musicians." - Roger Moore "Music is a mission. It's not a competition." - DJ Mello #GospelMusic #AIMusic #ChristianPodcast #TheEdge #AffinityXtra #DJMello #MusicProduction #ArtificialIntelligence #UKGospel #YouthMinistry #RogerMoore #FutureOfMusic 🎧 Listen & Support: Check out DJ Mello on Spotify: DJ Mello Official Support the station: Affinity Xtra Don't forget to Like, Comment, and Subscribe for more Real Talk on The Edge! https://youtu.be/vaq0WdI_rr0
