DJ Spins Tales of Parenthood and Creative Vibes
Manage episode 433855189 series 3361847
When the vibrant beats of creativity meet the tender chords of fatherhood, a symphony of life's most poignant lessons emerges. That's exactly what we unpack in our heart-to-heart with DJ, the Charleston native whose poetry flows as richly as his insights into balancing the joys and trials of being a parent, an artist, and a homeowner. As we sit under the broad shadow cast by a nurturing mother and the firm resolve of a father steeped in tough love, DJ and I peel back the layers on what it means to be a black man influencing through music, all the while navigating the often tricky terrain of personal and professional life.
The conversation shifts seamlessly from the weighty topics of mental health and societal expectations to the light-hearted anticipation of our musical endeavors. I recount the journey of overcoming a period of creative dormancy, celebrating the reawakening of my passion for broadcasting and poetry as we usher in the third season of our broadcast. Our narrative also finds a rhythm in the search for a keyboard player to join our soulful ensemble, raising the baton for an open invitation to musicians in the Charleston area. Join us as we share stories, laughter, and music, inviting every listener to find the beat of their own drum in the dance of life.
