What if you could start fresh in a new city, or even a new country, and redefine your identity? Join us for an engaging conversation with Smino as he shares his personal journey with music, reflections on past projects like "Netflix and Duse," and the exciting evolution leading to his latest work, "Maybe a Nirvana." Smino opens up about the creative process, the upsides and downsides of independent artistry, and his plans for multiple album releases in 2024. The candid insights and humor provide a window into his unique artistic mindset and future ambitions.

Ever considered packing up and moving to a new city to escape reminders of a past relationship? We tackle the emotional and logistical challenges of leaving long-term relationships behind, with discussions about potential new beginnings in places like Los Angeles and Rio de Janeiro. We explore the cultural adjustment and the thrill of immersing oneself in new communities and music scenes. This lively and heartfelt exchange emphasizes self-empowerment and embracing one's identity, while recognizing the influence of family and finances when choosing bustling cities like London.

Chaos meets creativity at the Country Cousins Festival, where we envision transforming St. Louis into a year-round art hub. Our light-hearted discussions touch on unexpected confessions, humorous anecdotes, and even the playful idea of launching a hair care line inspired by Madam C.J. Walker. With shout-outs to hidden musical gems like Marco Plus's "Soulless" and nods to fan creativity, this episode is rich with laughter, appreciation, and the boundless connection that art and community bring.

Talk Soon! ✌🏾
