Today's episode is with Boulevards also known as Jamil Rashad’s, a modern funk songwriter and performer from Raleigh, NC. The son of a jazz radio DJ, Jamil grew up in a house where jazz, blues, R&B and funk was played constantly, encouraging him to get involved in music at an early age. Although Jamil knew what he wanted to pursue he still struggles with finding his purpose- something I think we can all relate to. In the episode we discuss what it's like to be in recovery and pursuing your dreams while constantly trying to grow in both a personal and professional sense. Boulevards’ latest album Electric Cowboy has been described by Spin magazine as “sharing the story of Rashad’s battles with alcoholism and addiction, yet its silky groove is steeped in its western mystique. Just like his predecessors, Rashad found a way to push past his demons — by igniting a classic funk atop the ashes of his pain”.
