There's something about music that cuts deeper than words alone. A single lyric, a familiar melody, or even the rhythm of a beat can stir memories we thought were long forgotten and awaken parts of ourselves we may have buried. It reminds us of who we were before the chaos, before the pain, before substances clouded our vision.  Pursuing our favorite hobbies before substance use can be a lifeline back to our core, a way of reclaiming the truest version of ourselves. Listen in as our guest this week shares how he turned his lifelong passion into purpose and found a way back home to himself. Skyler Ray was born on November 28, 1990, in San Jose, California. He grew up in foster homes and spent multiple years homeless—going from being locked up to sleeping on the sidewalks of downtown Portland. His music is deeply rooted in his life experiences, including addiction, incarceration, and homelessness. He is a firm believer in spreading hope and giving back to the community he once helped destroy. Since being released from prison on November 30, 2018, Skyler has refocused on his music and is determined to share his message with the world. He continues to live in Portland, Oregon, and remains clean and sober. In this conversation, Jamie Demeris and Skyler Ray discuss what it really takes to rebuild a life after addiction. Together, they explore the mindset shifts that turn relapse into resilience, why consistency and small steps matter more than giant leaps, and how reconnecting with your passions can anchor you in sobriety.  Skyler shares how music became both his therapy and his message, and why vulnerability and self-respect are the foundation of lasting recovery. Whether you're in recovery, supporting a loved one, or just searching for hope, this conversation will remind you that transformation is always possible. Topics Discussed: The importance of continuously working on yourself  Why relapse isn't a step back and how you can stand up stronger  Pursuing your passions and who you are at your core in sobriety Why small, consistent steps make the most impact Reconnecting with your why & remembering who you were before substances Learning to love and respect yourself — CHAPTERS:  ​​0:00 Introduction to Positive Recovery MD 01:10 Meet Skylar Ray: From Addiction to Recovery 02:16 Skylar's Battle with Addiction 03:56 Turning Point: Embracing Music and Sobriety 12:50 The Road to Recovery Tour 19:35 Overcoming Disbelief and Embracing Change 22:54 Climbing the Corporate Ladder 23:43 A Humbling Demotion 24:17 Prison Reflections and Personal Growth 26:22 Musical Journey and Personal Transformation 29:14 The Power of Sound and Recovery 33:23 Chasing Dreams and Overcoming Challenges 40:33 Tour Dates and Final Thoughts — Connect with Skyler Ray:  Road to Recovery Tour: https://www.officialskylerray.com/road-to-recovery-tour  Website: www.officialskylerray.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/therealSkylerRay  — Connect with PRC on Social: IG: https://www.instagram.com/positiverecoverycenters  FB: https://www.facebook.com/PositiveRecoveryCenters  TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@positiverecoverycenter  LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/positiverecoverycenters  YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4JcDF1gjlYch4V4iBbCgZg   Want even more expert insights and support on the recovery journey?

From the rolling hills of Scotland to the hallowed circle of the Grand Ole Opry, Callum Kerr's musical journey defies conventional paths. Our conversation reveals the beautiful synchronicity of events that led this actor-turned-country artist to find his true calling.Callum shares how his musical awakening happened at 17 when a Texas sports camp job unexpectedly introduced him to country music. "I was just blown away," he recalls of hearing artists like Dierks Bentley and Zac Brown Band for the first time. "This is the sound that I've been looking for." His authentic passion is palpable as he describes moving between acting jobs in the UK and musical adventures in the American South.The pivotal turning point came when Callum landed a role as a Texas country singer on Fox's "Monarch" alongside Trace Adkins. Being in the studio with Nashville session players sparked something profound: "If I'm good enough to be in their TV show with a budget of 10 million per episode, maybe I could do this." This realization brought him to Nashville, where he immediately felt at home.We dive deep into Callum's songwriting process, his philosophy of "best song wins" regardless of who wrote it, and the meaningful stories behind tracks like "Used to Love This Town" and "It Ain't Working" from his Dan Huff-produced EP. The conversation culminates with his emotional recounting of making his Grand Ole Opry debut—a dream realized on the very same day his EP was released.Whether you're fascinated by the creative journey, drawn to authentic country storytelling, or simply love discovering artists on the rise, Callum's story will resonate. His final advice to his younger self speaks volumes: "If you like it, then it's cool. One day people are going to find that cool." Listen now and witness the beginning of what promises to be a remarkable career.

In this special episode, I sit down with soul/R&B-pop artist A-Rose—a powerhouse vocalist and songwriter whose journey from Nashville to San Diego has shaped both her sound and her story. We dive deep into the heart of her music: the emotions, the experiences, and the unapologetic honesty that defines her voice.A-Rose opens up about her Southern roots, her evolution as an artist, and the way songwriting has helped her capture the truth of her musical journey. We talk about the role of faith, personal growth, and how she's refined her voice through the highs and lows along the way. She shares how her path has made her music more raw, more real, and more resonant.We also pull back the curtain on the making of her newest single, “Moving Blues,” a track we co-wrote and produced together. It's a song born from deep conversations, shared melodies, and a commitment to telling the truth through sound. You'll hear how the track came to life—from the first spark of inspiration to the final mix—and how trust, vulnerability, and creative alignment made this song one of her most personal yet.This episode is about more than just music—it's about resilience, reinvention, and the courage it takes to turn your story into song.

Wanting to better understand her blossoming creative journey, Salmon met with Yancey to talk about what it's like to be a young artist.

Discover how encouragement, collaboration with legends like Allen Shamblin, and a focus on storytelling have shaped his vibrant career. Tune in to hear Dennis's insights on creativity, aging, and why it's never too late to chase your dreamsDennis Welch's Bio:If songwriter/recording artist/author Dennis Welch could wave a wand over how the world will remember him, he would choose just one word: Storyteller.Over 500 songs. Two books. Concerts far and wide. It's what he is meant to do here in this world. Tell stories and create a place to go to find yourself or answers, or maybe just a good laugh. One thing for sure. You'll always find love there. He has been privileged to write with some of the great songwriters: Allen Shamblin. Monte Warden. Michael Peterson. Fletch Wiley. Will Callery. He has learned from each writing partner along the way and he continues to grow. After more than two decades away from the recording studio, Dennis recorded and released What Love Makes Us Do, his fifth studio album in 2021. It was produced by long-time Little River Band Guitarist, Rich Herring and released on Herring's Wurld Records. It was on the first Grammy ballot in five categories.  Dennis believed at the time that it was his best work. But he always strives to do even better. In July of 2023, he released If I Live to Be a Hundred. He and Rich have recently wrapped up the next album, due out in mid-July.  Why? Because there's always another story to be told. The next one. Special Offer:The new album, "Strong" will hit all the streaming services this Wednesday the 16th.

A special 1 hour 50 mins feature album review this week, as Bee and I take nostalgic walk down memory lane to July 2019, where on the back of Richard Lowenstein's heartfelt Documentary tribute to Michael Hutchence the subsequent Soundtrack: Mystify was released to Australia, Japan and European audiences. The brainchild of Chris Murphy, this innovative, unconventional and truly unique offering deconstructs the cliche soundtrack formats of yesteryear by carving a musical mosaic of songs, sounds, interview clips and reworking of familiar hits, deep cut, rarities and remixes of INXS and Michael solo tracks taking the listener on a sonic journey. Being released on multiple formats, the vinyl version comes with a double album and four sides allowing the listener to enjoy the nostalgic tactile experience with glorious liner notes and written contributions from each INXS band member on tribute to Michael. Strictly speaking, this isn't a pure companion piece to the Mystify Documentary with the album track-listing varying considerably to the documentary and the release was not without issues between INXS Management and Richard. That aside, this album evokes every gamut of emotion whether it be joy, sorrow, pride, passion, positivity and pain. So do yourself a favour and listen to this album first then listen to this episode. You'll enjoy it more!!! Love and peace Haydn & Bee https://www.inxsaccessallareas.com/ https://www.change.org/p/induct-inxs-into-the-rock-roll-hall-of-fame-2026

“So I'm in Chicago, I've quit my job, I've almost run out of money. You know, you're young, you don't care. And I met Robert, who's now my co-founder. He had mixed a CD of mine a couple of years before through friends of friends. So we meet up, have a beer, and then he's like, ‘Oh, you know, I'm spending all this money on IT every month,' because he was a sound engineer. And he's like, ‘But we've got this thing called the internet, right? I thought, ‘I've got 1 MB internet in my studio, why can't I use that? It's free.' And I was like, ‘Yeah, let's do it.' And because I, you know, had been doing software development and the internet, it just made sense. The two of us really bonded, and I went home to New Zealand and he stayed in Chicago, and we built Source-Connect.” – Rebekah Wilson This episode's guest is the co-founder, technical director, and CEO of Source Elements, and has worked for over twenty years with customers and industry partners like Avid and Dolby. Since the release of their pioneering remote audio app Source-Connect in 2005, she's advocated for the benefits of remote collaboration in all sorts of areas, including sound engineering, voice acting, music performance and production, film and cinema production, and education.Originally trained as a composer, she's now a software developer and expert in the fields of music technology and networking, and, as a New Zealand native, she understands very well how important it is to stay connected no matter where we are.

(0:00:01) - Musical Journey to Tech InnovationWe start off with Rebekah's early memories of her father playing the guitar, and how it helped spark her love of music. “I must have been four or five,” she tells us, “and I can see the house that we were living in at the time. So, yeah, around their age and um, just those lovely, warm feelings.” She shares her experience growing up in New Zealand and how quickly things changed as the internet began to connect the world. “I went out and told everybody,” she explains, recalling the day she learned about Princess Diana's passing on a web forum. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, oh my God.'

Send us a textSongwriter Gabe Schillman truly embodies the "living on the road" lifestyle—he doesn't even own a home. With 232 shows performed nationwide last year alone, this professional songwriter and touring artist has turned his nomadic existence into both an art form and a mission.During our candid conversation, Gabe reveals the fascinating world of contract songwriting, where artists craft music to fit specific commercial, film, and entertainment needs. "Music is everywhere," he explains. "Every note sounds like something, whether it's sad, happy, mad—every note sounds like an emotion." This perspective has allowed him to create music that resonates across diverse audiences while working with industry legends like Ted Perlman, producer for Bob Dylan and Diana Ross.What truly sets Gabe apart is his newest venture, the Rustic Revival Roadshow. This isn't just another concert tour—it's a purpose-driven mission bringing high-quality performances to rural communities while raising funds for local causes. From building veteran memorials to supporting organizations like TUGS.org that help struggling family farmers facing high suicide rates, Gabe has found a way to transform music into meaningful community impact.Perhaps the most powerful moment comes when this fiercely independent artist admits that his greatest growth occurred when he finally allowed others to help. "Let your guard down just a little bit," he advises fellow artists. "Accept the help that you've been reluctant to accept." It's a vulnerable admission from someone who's spent decades building a career on self-reliance.Ready to experience Gabe's music and mission? Follow him at KingGabe.com, join "King Gabe's Village" on social media, and watch for the Rustic Revival Roadshow launching this August. This is more than just music—it's a movement bringing hope, purpose, and world-class entertainment to the heart of rural America.Want to be a guest on Living the Dream with Curveball?

Raphi Fulcher's Musical Journey and Life as a Black Orthodox Jew   In this episode, Raphi Fulcher, also known as Hebrew, discusses his unique background and perspectives. Growing up as the youngest of six children to parents who converted to Judaism in the 1960s, Raphi shares his experiences moving across different states and eventually studying in Israel. Currently a project manager in digital marketing, Raphi is also a passionate musician. He talks about his musical influences, family background in music, and the transformative experience of performing live. Raphi sheds light on the challenges of dating within the Orthodox Jewish community as a Black man and the importance of finding a partner who understands and is prepared for those challenges. He also discusses the significance of Torah values and the importance of addressing 'otherness' in the Jewish community. Additionally, Raphi shares insights into his music career, Jewish music festivals, and his aspirations to create music that heals and educates.   00:00 Introduction and Background 00:36 Religious and Professional Journey 03:05 Musical Beginnings 04:20 First Performance and Health Struggles 07:24 Stage Name and Identity 09:00 Growing Up Orthodox 20:46 Dating Challenges 29:14 Navigating Relationships and Conversion 30:44 Qualities I'm Looking for in a Partner 32:24 Challenges in Finding the Right Match 35:10 The Birth of a Jewish Music Festival 37:14 Balancing Tradition and Modernity in Music 43:21 The Deeper Meaning of Cain and Hevel 48:45 Practical Advice for Facing Fear 51:39 Sharing My Music and Inspirations   https://www.hebromusic.com https://www.instagram.com/hebromusic/ https://www.youtube.com/@Hebromusic   www.JewishCoffeeHouse.com franciskakay@gmail.com   About Raphi: Raphi Fulcher is a man on a mission, a soldier, or a “soulja,” if you will, in the army of Hashem. So intent is he on spreading his message of acceptance and brotherhood through rap and hip hop music, that he performs under the name Hebro, a Fulcher-ism that declares his intent to use his artistic abilities to better the world as he serves in the ranks of God's military. The youngest of six children born to African-American parents who converted to Judaism 43 years ago under the guidance of Rabbi J.J. Hecht, the then-assistant to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Fulcher hails from a family of gifted vocalists. The singer, songwriter, rapper and producer lived in Crown Heights until he was four and spent his formative years in North Carolina, St. Louis and Israel. It was during his time as a student at Queens College that Fulcher, whose full name is Raphael Ohr Chayim, discovered his gift for singing publicly. “I was on the board at Chabad of Queens College and we staged musical events. I found that I had a deep passion for live performance,” Fulcher told The Jewish Link. After spending a Lag B'omer at the Chevra Ahavas Yisroel synagogue, Fulcher found himself falling in love with Crown Heights and he spent the next five years there, enjoying the unique warmth of the community and honing his musical voice. Deeply enamored with rap, hip hop, reggae and R&B music, Fulcher decided that the time had come to bring those genres to Jewish audiences, albeit with all new lyrics. “Just the music and the rhythm are very powerful and could resonate with a lot of people if we had positive, uplifting content,” said Fulcher, who previously performed under the name Hebro. “I kept imagining how powerful it would be if I added a real element that would allow listeners to vibe out to the rhythm, with lyrics that have meaning and purpose. I don't think you can deny that it is Jewish music.” Having stretched his musical wings on stage with Matisyahu, Nissim Black, Moshav Band, Lipa Schmeltzer, Zusha and others, Fulcher decided three years ago that it was time to share his God given gifts with the world in a debut EP titled Genesis. “It is an album that is inspired by Tehillim, by King David's work,” said Fulcher. “When I imagine David Hamelech performing during his life, I imagine that his music had rhythm and spirit and with all due respect, I don't think it sounded like the typical 'Jewish' music we hear today in the orthodox world” Genesis, featuring seven original compositions, will be released on March 17th, Rosh Chodesh Nissan. Fulcher is looking forward to sharing his music at a release party taking place at The Loft and Rooftop at 83 Essex Street on Manhattan's Lower East Side of Manhattan which will also feature up and coming talents Izzy Gilden, DJ Kamilly, Simple Man and others. His soon to be released Souljass music video, featuring one of the tracks on the EP, tells the story of Cain and Hevel, which Fulcher sees as the start of baseless hatred in the world. “I want to shed light on being fearful of what we don't control or understand,” said Fulcher. “There is a message there in Cain's conversation with Hashem, when he says he doesn't know where his brother is. If we focused on the other person, if we were conscious of one another, and were tolerant of each other, we would be able to bring about the ultimate redemption.” Still, Fulcher, a resident of the Wesley Hills section of Monsey, is subtle with his messaging. “I consider myself a chasid of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and his teachings and his mission,” said Fulcher. “That is what I wanted to do with this album of songs about redemption and while I may not mention that concept by name, it is there in broader terms and in a way that will allow more people to enjoy the music.” With an edgy style that is simultaneously youthful and appealing, Fulcher is a crossover artist who can appeal to the masses, but also has his priorities straight. Passionate about his music, he is even more dedicated to his religious observance. As someone with close ties to Chabad, Fulcher feels strongly about his own obligation to improve the lives of others. “My ultimate mission with my music is to do my part to bring redemption,” explained Fulcher. “I consider this to be my shlichut and I believe each of us has to bring the world to a higher state of perfection by doing chesed, by reaching out and not just harboring light, but shining light out onto the world.” Having been the only African-American student in the yeshivos he attended since first grade wasn't always easy, admitted Fulcher, but it was an experience that prepared him for his future. “It was challenging for myself and for my peers,” said Fulcher. “It was a reality that none of them had ever dealt with before and it was new for them. Still, growing up as an African-American Jew in a white Orthodox Jewish world gave me the experience to understand the potential of breaking down the barriers of fear and difference while creating an opportunity for growth. B'nei Yisrael come in all shapes and colors and sizes and the sooner we can all handle that the sooner we will all be b'simcha.”
