    Ep 6: Carla Patullo on Grief, Memory, and the Music That Heals

    Grammy-winning composer Carla Patullo joins me for a vulnerable conversation about grief, healing, and the power of music to hold the stories we can’t always speak aloud. We talk about her early inspirations, her cancer journey, and the surreal moment she won her first Grammy. At the heart of this episode is her Grammy-nominated album Nomadica — a deeply personal work rooted in the loss of her mother and the echoes of memory that continue to shape her artistry. Carla opens up about queerness, resilience, collaboration, and creating music that becomes a place for healing. A tender, honest exploration of love, loss, and the art that helps us find our way through both. Please consider subscribing to the podcast here or where you find your podcasts! Hosted on Acast.

    What Happens When Your Voice Is Threatened? Tiffany Monique (Part 2) In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Tiffany Monique shares the story she rarely tells publicly: being diagnosed with cancer in the very place her voice lives, and the emotional, spiritual, and artistic reckoning that followed. We explore what happens when your identity and livelihood are suddenly under threat — the fear, resilience, survival instinct, and rediscovery that shaped her return to music. Tiffany speaks openly about rebuilding her voice, reclaiming her artistic vision, learning to take up space, and redefining worth after years of supporting others in the spotlight. This episode is an intimate look at healing, purpose, creative power, and what it truly means to find your voice again. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Ep 4: The Art You Don’t See: Tiffany Monique on Beyoncé, Worth & Voice

    Tiffany Monique has spent nearly two decades shaping the sound of one of the most iconic artists of our time — Beyoncé — as a vocal director, arranger, and powerhouse vocalist. Yet so much of her brilliance lives behind the scenes. In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Tiffany opens up about the hidden art of vocal direction, the evolution of her role in Beyoncé’s world, and what it means to find your own identity when your career is built in service of someone else’s spotlight. We talk about artistry, storytelling, credit, self-worth, personal loss, and the journey of carving out your own lane in an industry that often overlooks the people who hold it all together. This is a masterclass in craft, resilience, humility, and claiming your space — even when no one is watching. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Ep 3: India Carney and The Art of Knowing Your Worth

    Singer, songwriter, and vocal coach India Carney has spent years helping other artists sound their best on The Voice, American Idol, and beyond. But finding her own voice meant something deeper: learning to stand up for her value, to ask for what she deserves, and to unlearn the idea that humility means silence. In this conversation, India and Dr. Alexander Lloyd Blake talk about what it takes to feel worthy in an industry that often confuses kindness for weakness, and how reclaiming your power can transform both your art and your sense of self.
