GLOTALKS SHOW - S1E3 - LOVE IS MUSIC W/ JEFF SANON

 " Where do you draw your inspiration from? " - Gloria M.

On this week's episode of the Glotalks Show, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the multifaceted artist, Jeff Sanon. I wanted to delve into his creative journey and get some insights on it. I explored the many roles he embodies in his artistic endeavors and I believe I got answers to questions we've all been curious about.

Before I met Jeff, I heard many good things about him. I may be biased but his music really stood out to me. And when I had the opportunity to meet him in person and watch him in his element, I was more impressed because the little time I spent around, made me respect the many hats he wears. He is a singer, songwriter, rapper, producer and executive producer. But above all, he is a student first. His understanding of music is what blew my mind. 

I got to watch him turn my words into a beautiful song. I wanted to give him his flowers while simultaneously picking his brain. I really wanted to know what his do's and don'ts as a producer were and where he draws his inspiration from. We find out that he's not really into nature like that but loves and misses the old times. Times when it was easier to create in his room. It was easier for him to decide whether to start his day with music. Time where everything flowed easily because he still had his base. Things are slightly different now but this doesn't stop him from producing amazing records.

Though, he did not go to any musical school, the DNA passed down by his father and the desire to learn that came from his mother helped him focus on the art he was born with. With practice and curiosity, Jeff has really held his own in the music industry alongside his brother, City Fidelia who he's collaborated with on many projects.

" It's a way of God telling you to let it Go!" was the response I received when I asked him how come when creatives release projects that didn't mean much to them, it gains traction, but when they put their blood, sweat and tears into it, their projects gets little to no recognition. I was really glad he said that because that has been a word that keeps repeating in this season. " Let go and let God!"

Dear God,

You have a way of reminding me through people that you are complex. That anything and everything you create, are with intentions and care. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity of sitting down with a living testimony. Father, I pray that you sustain his vision. That the plans you put within him see the light of day and that the fire that burns within him, never runs out.

Amen!

GLOTALKS SHOW - S1E4 - EXECUTIVE DECISIONS W/ GLORIA MWANGE

 " You're in it now! You can't quit!!" - Claudia Etwyse I remember briefly writing about executive decisions about two years ago. It has been something that's been placed on my heart ever since. When I wrote about it, it was a moment of clarity that happened while I was in Congo.  This time, when it was time for a solo episode, I tapped into that and the experience launching the  Glotalks Show  gave me. I used to be someone who needed a second or third opinion before making a decision. I never truly trusted my own instincts and even the decisions I made. But this time, I had to force myself out of the comfort zone and believe that the choices I made, were great and even if they weren't, at least, I get to reflect on them myself rather than blame others.  In this episode, I addressed my desires of answering the famous question " WHY". To know the why, is to understand the trajectory of your life. I also spoke about the story with my videographer, it h...

GLOTALKS SHOW - S1E5 - I WAS BORN WITH IT W/ JESSIE SIMMONS

 " People are full of wisdom. " - Jessie Simmons This week's episode was very special to me. I sat down with Jessie Simmons , a multi-faceted artist from Ottawa, to discuss her journey through the music business. From overcoming industry challenges to the creation of her debut album " AMONI ," Jessie shares her experiences, insights, and the inspiration behind her music. When I was writing down the names of the first 10 guests for the  Glotalks Show , Jessie was the first one on my list. I've always been fascinated by her story and seeing as she continues to break barriers, the story becomes more and more interesting. When we met, she made it a point to scope me out of the crowd and introduce me to her entourage. As years went by, we got closer but, even then, her passion for music always shined through. So when I got the opportunity to sit down with her and talk about her life and journey in the music industry, I couldn't resist going back to the beginn...
