He reflects on the lessons from his grandparents, the importance of discipline, and how early life experiences helped shape his mindset and identity.

A major theme throughout the episode is intentional living—in music, relationships, and life. He speaks candidly about loyalty, honesty, and why his personal relationship inspires his music, as well as his commitment to creating songs that go beyond surface-level themes and stand the test of time.

Ep. 180: Music consumption today is borderless, but the systems that manage it have historically been national. Now, collective management organisations are undergoing their most significant transformation in decades. On one hand, they are becoming global infrastructure players, scaling systems, data and partnerships to match worldwide music consumption. On the other, they are redefining their relationship with creators whose ways of making, monetising and collaborating are changing just as rapidly.We're joined by Caroline Champarnaud, Sacem's Director of International, and Julien Dumon, Director of Digital. They talk about how CMOs are evolving into interconnected, global infrastructure players. We explore the challenges of global metadata, why international partnerships with organisations like ASCAP and GEMA are more vital than ever, and how Sacem is scaling its systems to match the explosive growth of music streaming in emerging markets.SACEM: Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers of MusicThis is the third in a special series of Music Ally Focus made in collaboration with Sacem, exploring the evolution of collective management in the modern music industry – looking at technology, policy, copyright and more. In the next episode, we'll discuss the evolution of CMOs further, and how the global infrastructure only works if it ultimately serves creators, whose needs are evolving just as fast as the systems built to support them.=========In the first episode in the series, David El Sayegh, Deputy CEO of Sacem, discussed how the organisation is defining the future of copyright.In the second episode, we were joined by Julien Lefebvre, the Head of Innovation and Sacem Lab, to talk about its startup partnerships, and the strategic decision to open up certain proprietary technologies to all creators.=======This is a Music Ally Co-Labs podcast: musically.com/music-ally-co-labs.

“Music is a force that brings us all together, wherever you're from.”For this ENTIRE holy month of Ramadan, we wanted to hear some music by MUSLIM artists (beyond Dua Lipa, Cat Stevens, AR Rahman, and Zane Mallick) — so we're bringing back MMusic with longtime FrieMMd of the Pod + our favorite Egyptian American from Cleveland, Seif Hamid, aka the musical artist Soof. This week we're listening to HASEEB (featuring REHMA). “Play Love” s a track that covers a theme universal to all music and art — love. The combined R&B / rap sensibilities, merged with cultural - and pop-cultural - references (Superman & Lois Lane, going to mosque) has a great vibe you'll be bobbing your head to all day.

But Dmitry's story goes far beyond 'Groove Is in the Heart', and this conversation goes all the way back to the beginning.Dmitry grew up in Soviet Ukraine as a third-generation musician. His grandmother — unable to afford a piano during the disruptions of the Russian Revolution, Civil War and World War Two — cut piano keys from paper so she could practise by hand. That love of music carried through the family, and Dmitry began lessons at five, was attending a conservatory music school by seven, and was already writing his own compositions in the style of Gershwin and Scott Joplin by eight.Western music was tightly controlled. Records could only be obtained on the black market — for around $50 each — and were copied onto reel-to-reel before being traded on. A track from Jesus Christ Superstar introduced him to something funky he couldn't yet name, and the search for that sound would shape the rest of his life.At 14, Dmitry and his family left the Soviet Union — the first in their town to do so, and treated as traitors for it. After periods in Austria and Italy, where he discovered punk (the Pistols, the Damned, X-Ray Spex, Iggy Pop), the family arrived in New York in 1978. On Halloween. In a Black neighbourhood in Brooklyn. Having never seen Black people before.From a 50-cent bin in a record shop, he picked up 'The Clones of Dr. Funkenstein' by Parliament because the cover looked insane. That was the moment. 'There it is,' he thought. 'That's the sound I've been looking for.' He's been a funkateer ever since.New York in the late 70s and early 80s was extraordinary — punk, disco, hip hop, and house all converging in the same sweaty rooms. Dmitry became an elevator operator at Danceteria, practising guitar in the lift between floors while Sisters of Mercy and the Sugar Hill Gang did soundchecks below. He ran into the pre-fame Beastie Boys regularly, worked at the Pyramid Club (run by drag queens, and a real education in showmanship), and played for Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash at block parties in Harlem and the Bronx.Dee-Lite formed as a direct attempt to bridge the gap between house and funk. They built a following through monthly shows drawing up to 1,500 people, which caught the attention of a Billboard writer and eventually sparked a label bidding war. They signed to Elektra — choosing them because their A&R, Nancy Jeffries, had signed Iggy Pop and Bjork, and that felt like the right kind of open-mindedness.Elektra didn't believe 'Groove Is in the Heart' had any traction. They let Dee-Lite do the video anyway, and Dmitry remembers the precise moment he knew it had crossed over: standing in a grocery store queue when it came on the radio and the cashier started dancing at her till. 'That's my jam,' she said. 'That's my jam.'Q-Tip turned up to the studio, listened for 15 minutes, jotted notes, and nailed it in two takes. Bootsy Collins casually mentioned he had 'some friends' who might be able to play horns — those friends were Fred Wesley and Maceo Parker, who arrived as near-strangers to each other after five years apart and immediately played like they'd never stopped.Their first proper gig with a full live band was in front of 300,000 people at Rock in Rio. The second album was recorded expensively in a big studio; Dmitry considers it their weakest. The third, Dewdrops in the Garden, went back to basics and home recording, and he's proud of how well it still sounds.The band broke up when Dmitry and Kier's relationship ended, and he eventually made his way to Berlin — partly drawn by its thriving club culture, partly pushed out of New York by Giuliani's crackdown on clubs. He played Tresor, won a Best Techno DJ award at Ibiza despite not really being a techno DJ, worked with Julie Cruz, remixed Chaka Khan and Ziggy Marley, and kept making music.Then during the pandemic, a friend sent him a vocalist called Jessie Evans. He sent her some dub tracks that had been sitting on his computer for years. She recorded them one by one, sending back a finished song every couple of days from Brazil — while caring for two young children. Before they had ever met on video, they had an album's worth of material. That project became Nauti Siren. She moved to Germany, they got married, and they now have around five albums' worth of music ready to release. The first, 'Rising', is out now.This is a remarkable conversation with someone who has lived inside the history of popular music for fifty years — and who still has plenty more to say.Find DJ Super Dmitry:Instagram: @superdjdmitryNauti Siren 'Rising' — out on Bandcamp and all streaming platformsOnce A DJThe podcast that looks at what brings us together and what sets us apart.

Improving your listening skills is vital if you want to be competent in the English language. In this lesson, you're going to learn how to improve this area in the most efficient and rapid way possible so that you can understand native speakers and fast English.HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LISTENING SKILLS:Native speakers don't understand everything they hear. It's true. I sometimes find it difficult to understand:when on the phonewhen talking to people with accents I'm not used towhen watching moviesand when listening to musicThis is going to happen to you. You'll never reach a stage where you understand everything. But it's important to improve so that you can understand more.Here is how:Improve your vocabulary and grammar: the more you know, the more you'll understand. Search for "input To Fluency" to learn how to do this.Listen as much as possible: get used to the way people speak. You can listen while doing other things.What you listen to is important: find audio that is enjoyable, specific to you, and comprehensible. I recommend audiobooks that have been adapted for English learners (graded readers)Work on your pronunciation: if you can make the sounds in English, you'll better understand them when you hear them.Have natural conversations: this is the best type of listening practice but it's more expensive and harder to find.I encourage you to try these methods. Start today. Commit to doing more in English. Enjoy the journey. Hope you enjoyed this! Please subscribe if you're new!

During my ultra marathon challenge, one song that kept me going. As I ran, walked and wept from London to Salford, Stargazing by Myles Smith was on repeat. Even when I hit breaking point, that song carried me through and ever since, I've been desperate to sit down with Myles. With his calendar booked until 2027, I feel incredibly lucky we finally made it happen…Myles Smith is an incredible musician and songwriter. In just two years, he's gone from posting songs on TikTok to racking up 25 million streams in a single month, touring with Ed Sheeran and winning the Rising Star BRIT Award. His breakout single, Stargazing, has been streamed over a billion times and was the best-selling British song of 2024.But what struck me most about Myles isn't just his talent, it's his honesty. He's experienced pain, heartbreak and at times, has really struggled to fit in. Yet, he's overcome those challenges to become a musician whose music brings positivity and hope to everyone who hears it. We cover:• His first heartbreak aged 11, when his dad walked out• The racism he's experienced as an artist for the music he releases• How Ed Sheeran gave him the confidence to release his most personal musicThis conversation is a reminder that vulnerability is a strength and that by embracing who we truly are, we create space for others to do the same.You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast and if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk--THE CREDITSExec Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Gurlina HeerEditor: Dan KingVideo: Jake Ji & Ryley KirbySocial Media: Laura CoughlanGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

This month, Mary had the opportunity to sit for a talk with Chef Oscar Yip. Oscar is a culinary expert with international experience, as well as a keen sense of the ecologies of humans and food. Oscar was born in Saltillo in the state of Coahuila in Mexico, where he was raised by his Mexican mother and Chinese father. He later completed medical school at the University of Monterrey. But upon earning that degree, he realized his heart was with the culinary arts, and changed his life path. Training in Austin, Texas with a prominent restaurant group, Oscar would also land an opportunity to cook in a 3 star Michelin restaurant. Known by the name “Martin Berasategui,” it was set in the Basque country of Spain, in the town of St. Sebastian.Oscar continues deeply attuned to the intimate connection between human wellbeing and the wellbeing of the natural world. His culinary craft and practice hold this connection as a lodestar guiding his work with food as well as his presence in life. In our conversation we explore this relationship and the way it's available for anyone open to the inquiry.You can learn more about where Oscar is preparing food by contacting him through Wolf House, an event venue he established in Austin. You can also follow him on instagram at oscarmyip. Several years ago, Oscar moved out of cheffing for restaurants. Now his main focus is cooking as a private chef for high-end events. That means there's another great way to learn more about Oscar. Come to one of our Full Ecology Retreats this June on the JbarL ranch in the Centennial Valley of Montana. Oscar will be the chef for each of those, and will contribute additional guidance on food for the Full Ecology Solstice Retreat. Check the Full Ecology website or drop an email to Meg at JbarL Ranch - meg@jbarl.com. Plan now for June, 2024. Come spend time with beautiful land, deep inquiry over Summer Solstice and, the following week, close attention to weaving your writing craft with your kinship to the natural world. ~MUSICThis episode includes music by Gary Ferguson and these fine artists.Same Bossa - Music by William_King from PixabayLatin Summer - Music by William_King from PixabayFeel Bossa Nova - Music by William_King from Pixabay
Tyler Mark Nelson is an advanced student in the Masters of Divinity program at Yale Divinity School. He was raised on the northern banks of the Mississippi River, a stretch of the world that figured deeply in helping him come to know who he is. Tyler began his work life with several years in horticulture, supporting human resources and sales at a large Minnesota greenhouse, leading operations with a university vermiculture and compost program, and farming at an organic lavender farm in eastern Washington state. He's also spent a great deal of time in the wilderness, most recently with people new to time in wild nature. Tyler is a Christian. He is a writer and theologian. He's a climate activist and he's also a person who has lived with significant mental health challenges. Tyler finds eco-theology and his own experience in the natural world to be reliable supports for living well these days on Earth. In our conversation we weave childhood clarity with adult wisdom and consider how we may all reach out to the natural world for guidance when the going gets tough.You can learn more about Tyler by visiting the links below. In particular check out his recent article - Environmental Justice and the Religious Imagination - recently published in the Yale Divinity School Journal, Reflections. You'll also find below links for several resources Tyler mentioned today.

In this episode I catch up with country music singer Meg Doherty we chat about the lies some of us tell ourselves and others when our drinking has got out of control and the shame that surrounds that. At the peak of Meg's drinking she was drinking daily a bottle of vodka and a bottle of wine. The shame and guilt she was feeling from the amount she was consuming created secrecy and then lying became part of her daily practice. Meg joined the 12 step program to boot the booze. She is now channelling her energy into her sobriety, motherhood and her music. We talk about forgiveness, meditation, and the importance of working her program.To check out Meg's music on Spotify go to https://open.spotify.com/artist/6jJZeRG26xtfzkKpYIxlsX?si=n1K4IVf9QHi3ME2zX6hM6wWebsite https://www.megdoherty.com/Instagram meg_doherty_musicThis episode was brought to you by Monday Distillery.

As a self-described musical theater nerd to a now award-winning country music artist, Meghan Patrick joins Gary to discuss her journey both as an artist and an individual. Patrick shares how different genres, and life experiences have influenced her path, and a desire always to make time for the important things. In this episode:How Meghan got her startThe dynamics of being in a band Being authentic in the music industryFinding balance as a boss Facing the economic realities of pursuing a career in musicThis episode is sponsored by: Habana CubaAbout Meghan:Gifted, award-winning, chart-topping… cool. There are plenty of apt adjectives that apply to Meghan Patrick. But perhaps the most meaningful descriptor for the acclaimed country singer/songwriter is authentic.Patrick is a musician who always tells it like it is in a voice as gorgeously persuasive as they come. So, when she describes her electrifying third full-length studio album, Heart on My Glass, as “the most ‘me' record I've ever made,” it's a profound statement given the sincerity that has come before.It's also a handy metaphor for summing up the new album's many sonic textures and flavors, some familiar to long-time listeners and others new— blues and gospel, anyone? — but all yanked straight from Patrick's rich reservoir of influences.Funny what a pandemic year spent hunkering down in a town like Nashville will do for your music.“This is a special record for me for a lot of reasons,” Patrick confirms. “I had so much more time over the past year to focus on writing and really being able to dig into what my sound and message should be. This feels like the most all-encompassing representation of me as a writer, an artist, and a human. All the pieces fell into place.”www.GaryScottThomas.com
Before Jeff and Elliotte took some time to reset ahead of the playoffs, they had the opportunity to sit down with Montreal Canadiens head coach and Hall of Famer, Martin St. Louis. They discussed why he wanted to get back into the professional game, the similarities in coaching youth hockey to some of the younger players on his team, how he feels about people doubting his skills, things he's learned over the last two months as head coach, the impressive run of games by Cole Caufield, and how he talks to his team.Music Outro: The Darcys - Washed AwayCheck out the single wherever you get your musicThis podcast is produced and mixed by Amil Delic, and hosted by Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman.Audio Credits: ABC and Sportsnet.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
