    Creator to Creators S8 Ep 12 Manu Chevalier

    https://manuchevalier.com/ Youtube Instagram Bio Manu Chevalier is a multi-instrumentalist, performer, songwriter and producer from Marseille, France with a wealth of knowledge and love for all kinds of music. His latest release, which features vocalist Lumina B, sits comfortably in the disco/pop/funk lane. Titled “I’m Alright,” the track is designed to get people dancing but the lyrics tell a deeper story. The track “I’m Alright” went through some transformations in its creative process and Manu is proud of the final result. He was a student at a songwriting academy in London and naturally, was tasked with writing a song. Several mentors at this academy have multiple accolades in the music world and they gave Manu direct feedback. However, some changes had to be made before the song was officially released. “Originally, the song sounded like ‘Levitating’ by Dua Lipa. So I made several changes and adjustments, which was a multistep process.” he said. While Manu does sing on the demo version of the song, he knew he wanted a female vocalist on the final version and he came across Lumina B who loved the song. Her vocals on the song enhance the uplifting atmosphere of the song and the multilayered lyrics. . Manu Chevalier plays formerly both tenor and alto sax as well as the keyboard. But ironically, the saxophone heard on “I’m Alright” is a MIDI sax sounding keyboard that Manu plays for artistic or ethical reasons. Manu’s musical background includes jazz and bossa nova and he is no stranger to the joy that comes from performing music live. “I love communicating with the audience as I perform. I often left the stage and would walk down the aisles, playing directly in front of the audience. I loved enjoying their energy, dancing and happiness.” he said. Manu’s experience with playing with music live enhanced his love for doing surprising things with the audience. In addition to leaving the stage, he also enjoyed doing new arrangements and versions of songs or adding his own solo parts to covers his band was doing. With a musical ear that was trained from his older sisters showing him a plethora of music growing up, he grew to have an appreciation for all genres from multiple decades. “From listening to all of these artists and genres, I began to form melodies in my own head. At that age, I didn’t realize I was composing. I kept listening to more and more artists and began to seek out artists on my own too.” he said. Manu’s musical foundation led him to creating all kinds of tracks in his career ranging from tracks like the disco/pop/funk of “I’m Alright” to soul, R&B, jazz, reggae,bossa nova. One of his biggest musical collaborations includes a remix that featured rapper Alonestar, who is Ed Sheeran’s cousin, Snoop Dogg and uncredited (for legal reasons) vocals from Ed Sheeran himself. He also has worked with vocalists and songwriters like Paul Statham (Dido, Kylie Minogue), Morris Pleasure (Michael Jackson , Earth Wind and Fire) who were also belonging to his mentors at the songwriting academy and also some songwriters/artists like Tamra Hayden. Manu has plans for the future like reworking and rereleasing some of his earlier tracks like “Get On The Dance Floor.” He will also release new music that will continue to showcase a plethora of genres and elements that will get listeners up and ready to have a good time. “I’m Alright” by Manu Chevalier featuring Lumina B is available on streaming services and for download. It can be bought on Amazon and Apple Music from May 22nd, 2026. You can see more of Manu Chevalier’s music by keeping up with him on these platforms.

    Creator to Creators S8 Ep 6 Jaron Lockridge

    HOUSE FOR THE BROKEN FILM SERIES Teaser https://cinemaministry.com/ Facebook Instagram Tiktok BIO For Jaron Lockridge, filmmaking has always been an art form for telling authentic and relatable stories. He has garnered over 5 million streams with independent successes such as Betray, Betray: Thirst, Cubic Zirconia, and Down Bad across major streaming platforms, including Tubi, Amazon, and Roku. After nearly a decade of building Misguided Perceptions Media Group into a successful independent production house, Lockridge's creative path took a definitive turn. Following a transformative personal encounter with God, Jaron committed to using his craft solely for the Gospel, rebranding his company as Cinema Ministry Productions to reflect this new calling. This transition marks a courageous new chapter, bringing the same raw, uncompromising honesty of his previous work to the world of Christian media. Through projects like the faith-based series House for the Broken, Jaron continues to craft stories from an authentic perspective, proving that faith-based content can be as emotionally resonant and narratively bold as any secular drama.  HOUSE FOR THE BROKEN FILM SERIESTeaser https://youtu.be/qPkZC22B0BE?si=AcuBED609Kuml45b House for the Broken is an eight episode streaming series which touches on several subjects from fatherhood, addiction, abuse, proper discipleship, and the weight of pastoral ministry. House for the Broken is set to release late July 2026 with platforms TBD.  NOTE FROM JARON I wrote House for the Broken after gaining renewed faith after a difficult period in my life. House for the Broken is a multitude of stories I've experienced personally or witnessed from people around me and through my "day job" as a full-time police officer in the state of Tennessee. The show focuses on showing the side of Christianity that isn't regularly portrayed like the weight of being a pastor, being unequally yoked in a relationship with a non-believer and being a new Christian trying to escape the shame of their past.

    Creator to Creators S8 Ep 5 Dr. Jana Nirvana

    Bio Born in Upper Silesia in the Czech Republic and raised in Germany, I have always lived between cultures, languages, and dimensions of perception. My artistic journey began early, with my first exhibitions in art galleries along the Côte d'Azur in France as early as the year 2000. Back then, I never imagined that art would one day become my vocation. Life, however, had its own plans for me. After pursuing a different path in academia—including research and teaching projects across Europe—I earned my Ph.D. in History at Leibniz University Hannover in early 2020. Just as the world stood still during the first lockdown, something within me came alive. I began painting again, this time simply for survival—for peace of mind. Painting on the streets with fellow creatives, I realized that art wasn’t just a passion—it was a lifeline, a healing portal. That moment changed everything. Since then, my art has evolved into a deeply personal form of energy work and self-healing. I began combining painting with meditative practices, tapping into a method that allowed me to access a deep inner stillness, no matter how chaotic the world around me became. What started as a private process soon became a shared experience—others joined me in painting sessions and discovered their own portals to release, clarity, and healing. Without planning it, Quantum Healing became the essence of my art. My works began to attract international attention, and I was invited to exhibit in cities all over the world like in Berlin, London, New York, Las Vegas, Dubai, Zurich and others. I have shared my vision in interviews, including on German television, and co-authored a book with global thought leader Marie Diamond from The Secret, reflecting on the transformative power of creativity and consciousness. In 2025, I initiated Souls United in Art (SUIA)—a global book project dedicated to celebrating the voices, visions, and healing journeys of artists from all continents. As the editor and visionary behind the project, I bring together creators, whose art is rooted in soul, resistance, and transformation. The book is both a collective artwork and a movement: a space for truth- telling, spiritual remembrance, and radical empowerment. SUIA has already inspired international interest and media coverage, and is set to become a milestone in contemporary art and soul awakening. My visual language consists of spiritual abstractions—vibrational paintings charged with energy, intention, and a connection to the Quantum Field. Each piece is an invitation to reconnect with the highest self, to remember our true power, and to transcend the illusion of separation. My art does not distract from pain—it transforms it. Art, for me, is a sacred act. I believe that creativity is a portal into healing and awakening, and I feel deeply called to share this path with others—through my paintings, my sessions, and now also through the voices of many artists in Souls United in Art. www.jananirvana.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.
