The B’SPOT theeDonB.

This week I had the honor and privilege of interviewing an amazing singer-songwriter and equally amazing human being, Ashley JaNae. We talk all about her new music, her run on American Idol Season 12 and her most memorable moments from her time meeting and working beside our mutual hero Mariah Carey!

This week we are celebrating the icon that is Tina Turner. Friend to the show and floral designer, Brandon Williams joins me as we share our favorite moments from the HBO Max documentary “TINA”. We reveal vulnerable places in our stories that align with the resilience and perseverance of our legend and also have way too many laughs along the way. Apologies in advance for all the inside jokes. Enjoy!

This weeks Artist Spotlight goes to 3 insanely talented artists. Join my conversation with Malik Ali, Baby Sega, and Phalair of 3K, where we discuss rap influences, culture, and how they formed their super group. We also break down each of their current singles and get to hear the inspiration behind each track. It was an honor to interview these young legends in the making and I can’t wait to see what they do next. Press play and thank me later!

This week we have a brand new Artist Spotlight feature that I cannot wait for you all to hear!
I recently had the privilege to sit down with singer, songwriter and activist Jaquiel and his partner and fellow social activist Genesis. We get caught up on all he has in the works currently, and to say that the conversation was inspirational is an understatement!
We talked everything from songwriting and musical influences, to working toward societal change and the real work of developing your best SELF.

We got a mini-sode this week! I could not wait to finally release my review of the Aretha Franklin biopic “Respect” starring Jennifer Hudson. Check out my feelings on the film and listen out for a few of my favorite songs from the Queen of Soul herself!

Here is Part 2 of my incredible interview with Craig Seymour, where we review and breakdown the new Netflix series, “This is Pop”. Craig Seymour is a writer, photographer, celebrity interviewer, and legendary music critic. He has written for The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, VIBE, and among other publications.
He has also interviewed and profiled some of the biggest names in music, including Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Luther Vandross, and CHER.
