    EP 67 - BUILT BY FAMILY | FT. THE “FAJINN TWINS” (NANCY & NADINE)

    WE GOT A GOOD ONE FOR Y’ALL. This time we got two for the price of one. We sit down with the FAJINN Twins (Nancy & Nadine) for a conversation that goes everywhere. We talk about family, growing up in the South End, their Cape Verdean roots, and how their family is a huge part of who they are and what they do. The twins also talk about growing up in Orlando, going to Poinciana High, working in the restaurant industry since they were teenagers, and somehow finding out that Andre was living in the same area around the same time. A big part of the conversation is the work they do with kids and the community. They talk about their prom giveback, which started with just two students and has grown to working with dozens of students and multiple schools. They’re helping seniors with everything from hair and makeup to gowns and suits, giving kids an experience they might not otherwise get. We also get into sports, coaching, education, family, their dad being a musician, and how their brand represents the family that helped build it. And of course, this is Where Are We Podcast, so somehow we end up talking about grounding, hiking, Walmart in Poinciana, old house parties, high school stories, restaurants, and a whole lot of random shit along the way. Two sisters. One family. A lot of history. FAJINN Twins on Where Are We Podcast.

    EP 66 - FULL CIRCLE JOURNEY FT C-MILLZY

    We’re back with another one. This time we sit down with C-Millzy. Andre has known him since he was a kid, so this one is a real full circle moment. C-Millzy opens up about growing up in Lawrence, getting caught up in the system at a young age, and what it was like trying to figure life out when you’re still a kid yourself. He talks about his older brothers, the environment he grew up around, and how easy it can be to follow a path simply because that’s what you see around you. But the conversation isn’t just about where he came from. It’s about what happens when you start looking back at your life and taking accountability for the things you could have done differently. We get into fatherhood, family, anger, mental health, healing, and learning how to see situations from somebody else’s perspective. C-Millzy talks about becoming a father and how being there for his kids has changed the way he looks at life. We also look back at the days when Andre used to mentor C-Millzy as a kid, proving how powerful those early connections can be long after a program is over. C-Millzy has now come full circle, building a free program of his own where young people can come in, work on music, record, and have a space to create. That part of the conversation really hit because sometimes you don’t realize the impact you had on somebody until years later. And of course, we still had plenty of WAW in the middle of all of it. Lawrence, coffee, old stories, freestyle, fatherhood, growth, and a lot of laughs along the way. This one is about where you come from, where you end up, and what you choose to do with everything you’ve been through.

    EP 65 - FINDING YOUR WAY FT MONAVELI

    We Are back, and sometimes you don’t realize how far you’ve come until you look back. This episode of Where Are We Podcast is with Monaveli, and this conversation goes way beyond music. We sit down with Monaveli to talk about growing up in Brockton, finding her way into the creative world, and the people who helped shape the person she is today. From discovering SoundLab and finding a place where she finally felt like she belonged, to being mentored by artists who saw something in her early on, Monaveli takes us through the moments that helped build her foundation. But what stands out most is how much of her journey has been about people. Family. Friends. Mentors. Her team. The people she considers family even though they aren't related by blood. Monaveli talks about being raised primarily by her mother, having a small but strong support system, and learning that you don't always have to do everything yourself. As her career grew and she signed to a label, she had to learn how to communicate, trust the people around her, and let other people play a role in something she spent so much time building on her own. We also get into what it means to give back. After being mentored herself, Monaveli has found ways to work with younger creatives and return to the same spaces that helped her grow. She talks about wanting young people to see somebody who came from their community and realize that a creative career isn't some unrealistic dream. Then the story gets bigger. Music has taken Monaveli far beyond Brockton, from Budapest to Iceland, Bristol, and Amsterdam. She shares what it was like building an international tour, performing for audiences who were experiencing her culture and music from a completely different perspective, and watching her team turn something that once felt like a dream into an actual life. There's a moment in the conversation where she describes looking around Amsterdam and seeing people from home beside her — creating, performing, shooting videos, and getting paid to do what they love. That's the kind of moment you don't forget. We also get into family, relationships, discipline, personal growth, food, weed, veganism, cats, and plenty of conversations that somehow go completely off the rails. But underneath all of it is a conversation about becoming your own person without forgetting the people and places that helped you get there.

    EP 64 - BETTING ON YOURSELF FT D4THEGREAT

    WE’RE BACK. Season 6 of Where Are We Podcast starts right here with D4thegreat. We go behind the lens with somebody we’ve known for a minute, but this conversation is really about getting to know the person behind the camera. D4 talks about his creative journey, finding his lane, and the different jobs and paths he went through before realizing some things just weren’t for him. We get into that moment of betting on yourself, especially when you’ve got real life happening around you and people depending on you. From there, the conversation gets a lot more personal. We talk family, growing up, relationships, and the things that come with trying to figure yourself out while also building a life of your own. D4 opens up about his family, the distance and dysfunction that came with growing up, and learning how to look at those relationships differently as he gets older. Then we get into fatherhood. D4 talks about having twin girls and the moment becoming a father really changed something in him. He talks about the pressure of being a dad, trying to give his kids the things he wished he had growing up, and learning that being a good parent also means having the patience to understand that your kids are going to be their own people. We get into his Caribbean roots, connection, lifestyle changes, relationships, isolation, creativity, and learning when certain people or situations no longer fit where you’re headed. And of course, this is Where Are We, so there’s plenty of b******t, jokes, random conversations and moments where we somehow end up talking about everything from vices to waterbending. This one felt like the right way to open Season 6. New season. New conversations. Same WAW. OUR SPONSORS Big shoutout to the businesses supporting Where Are We Podcast this season.

    EP 63 - EVOLVING WITH PURPOSE FT STAX

    In the Season 5 finale of the Where Are We Podcast, the crew sits down with Boston native Stax for an honest and wide ranging conversation about growth, identity, and becoming your highest self. Growing up in Dorchester as the oldest of four siblings, Stax talks about the pressure of being seen as the example in her family while still figuring life out in real time. She reflects on how her upbringing shaped her discipline early on, from participating in programs like dance, modeling, choir, and violin to developing a strong love for reading and learning that still influences her mindset today. Throughout the episode, Stax opens up about the evolution of her perspective and the personal work it takes to grow into a new version of yourself. She shares how discovering books like The Four Agreements helped shift the way she looks at life, accountability, and how we interpret the world around us. That shift sparked a deeper journey of self awareness and pushed her to reevaluate relationships, expectations, and how she connects with people from earlier phases of her life. The conversation also dives into the reality of evolving beyond your past. Stax speaks candidly about how personal growth can sometimes create distance between you and people who knew an older version of you, and how navigating that transition requires patience, reflection, and a willingness to redefine connections. At the same time, she emphasizes the importance of building routines, creating structure in adulthood, and staying intentional about personal development. From stories about her childhood nickname and the origin of the name Stax to deeper reflections on purpose, identity, and self discovery, this episode blends humor, vulnerability, and real conversation. It’s a reminder that no one has everything figured out and that growth is an ongoing process.

    EP 62 - ART OVER EVERYTHING FT ARTISAN

    We’re back with another episode of Where Are We Podcast and this time we’re sitting down with Artisan. This conversation really gets into what it means to build yourself from the ground up. Artisan opens up about where his creativity started, the early influences that shaped his mindset, and the moments that forced him to take himself serious. We talk about the difference between liking art and living it. The discipline behind it. The sacrifices. The self doubt. The pressure of wanting more while still figuring it out in real time. He speaks on family impact, finding direction when things feel uncertain, and choosing growth over comfort. There’s real talk about betting on yourself even when the results are not instant. About staying consistent when motivation fades. About understanding that vision is earned through experience, not just talent. This episode moves naturally from laughs to reflection. It’s about identity, risk, maturity, and learning how to trust your own process. If you’re building something, questioning your next move, or trying to level up creatively, this one is going to hit.

    EP 61 - WORDLY LESSONS LEARNED FT LUCKY DICE

    On this episode of the Where Are We Podcast, Andre X sits down with Boston legend Lucky Dice for a conversation full of stories, perspective, growth, and real talk from someone who has truly lived it. From the jump the vibes are there, laughs are flying, and it feels like family in the room. Dice talks about his relationship with smoking and how it evolved from something casual into something meditative and personal. That opens the door to bigger conversations about mindset, awareness, and how people grow into themselves over time. From there the episode travels across the world as the guys revisit tour memories through Europe, culture shock moments, funny run ins, and the reality of navigating different spaces while staying grounded in who you are. Travel becomes a major theme. Dice explains how seeing new places changes your perspective, how experiencing other cultures can open your mind, and why getting outside your normal environment is necessary for growth. Whether it is mountains, museums, city streets, or train rides that feel like movies, every place leaves something behind that helps shape you. The conversation then rewinds back to the beginning. Dice breaks down how music started for him, freestyling on the block, forming early groups, and building lifelong relationships through college and community. He reflects on staying genuine, leading with love, and how those connections helped build both the artist and the man he became. Fatherhood becomes one of the strongest parts of the episode. Dice speaks honestly about being a parent while chasing a dream, the sacrifices that come with it, and the lessons he tries to pass to his daughter. Andre and Dice trade experiences about raising kids, communication, patience, and how children end up teaching you just as much as you teach them. Throughout the episode, Dice drops wisdom about struggle, career setbacks, self sacrifice, and trusting that life will bring you what you need even if it doesn’t arrive how you imagined. It is reflective, funny, and full of moments that hit home for anyone trying to balance responsibility with passion. This is one of those conversations where you laugh, think, and walk away with something real.
