    MJ with Muscadine Bloodline | Teenage Dixie | Feb 2023

    I loved speaking with Muscadine Bloodline's Charlie and Gary, true friends who finish each other’s sentences in the same way they harmonize in their songs; seamlessly!   What I love most about this duo is how well they have combined their diverse musical influences into a unique style that instantly grabs your attention, especially when you hear one of their songs on country radio, as was the case with “Dead On Arrival” from their Dispatch to 16th Ave album (2022) and “Me On You,” from their NEW album, Teenage Dixie (Feb 24)! After putting both songs in rotation, I received countless texts and messages asking about them. As an MD who loves to take chances on different songs in style and subject matter, a listener response like that feels like hitting the jackpot!    Their new album is a “collection of stories and experiences in South Alabama.” I cannot WAIT to dive in and be taken to a place I’ve never been!    “When you stop chasing what’s popular and just start chasing what makes you happy the real magic happens.” - Muscadine Bloodline   Teenage Dixie by Muscadine Bloodline:  https://music.apple.com/ca/album/teenage-dixie/1661081868

    MJ with Brett Kissel | The Compass Project | South Album

    This was the first time Brett Kissel and I had the opportunity to chat. Based on this conversation, it will not be the last, and the next time it’ll be a more extended discussion; it’s necessary.  In the short amount of time we did have this time around, Brett instantly demonstrated how and why he’s achieved longevity in such a challenging industry: his enthusiasm and passion for his work, as well as the gratitude he feels for the lessons, the challenges, and the people who have supported him through it all.  It was beautiful to watch and listen to Brett share his excitement for his most ambitious collection thus far in his decade-long career; The Compass Project. There are four installments/albums, all being released this year (2023); the first, titled South Album, is available now.  There are many motivational speakers around the globe. Then there’s Brett, a motivational singer and songwriter who inspires through music and doesn’t take the opportunity he’s been given to do so for granted! - MJ   The Compass Project - South Album available here: https://music.apple.com/ca/album/the-compass-project-south-album/1658197466  Check out "Watch It" video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkKLaFH3i-U
