POPULARITY
EUGEE emerges as a remarkable talent from the vibrant streets of New Orleans, a city that pulses with music and culture. Beyond the spotlight, she dedicates her days to the noble pursuit of healing as a full-time medical doctor, bravely standing at the forefront of the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a calling that momentarily eclipsed her musical aspirations, as she poured her heart into serving her community. Now, EUGEE stands poised to unveil her creative brilliance to the world.Her journey began against a backdrop of trials and triumphs. As a Nigerian-American woman with a plus-sized frame, EUGEE faced early challenges, enduring taunts about her appearance and eloquence. In her household, education reigned supreme, often taking precedence over social pursuits. It was in the solitude of her room, amidst the pages of textbooks and the cadence of her own thoughts, that she discovered the transformative power of music.EUGEE's dreams were set ablaze by the melodies that flowed from the radio, igniting a vision of self-expression through music. The echoes of ‘90s and early 2000s pop culture reverberated within her, setting her on a resolute path towards pop stardom. Wrestling with her own vocal doubts, she turned to the art of penning poetry, using lyrics as her canvas to paint her emotions, until she unearthed her soul-stirring, distinctive sound.Hailing from a lineage steeped in musical heritage, this New Orleans native took her first steps onto the stage at the tender age of 16, forming a band with classmates, including the talented Sam Craft (of Sweet Crude). Together, they forged a sonic tapestry rooted in "Rock n' Soul," enchanting audiences in packed venues. The unforgiving force of Hurricane Katrina rerouted their journey, compelling them to seek new horizons.Chicago beckoned, and EUGEE answered its call, enrolling at Loyola University Chicago for her undergraduate studies. Here, the city's pulsating rhythm wove its way into her heart. Jazz clubs became her sanctuary, where she lent her voice to the night. Under the spell of Chicago's house music scene, she reemerged as "EUGEE," melding dance and pop into a genre uniquely her own. Collaborating with a kindred spirit, Simoneaux, her music found new life, their eclectic beats entwining seamlessly with EUGEE's enchanting voice.Yet, as steadfast as her resolve, she heeded her mother's wishes and embarked on the rigorous path of medical school. The cadence of her dreams momentarily hushed. In 2015, she emerged triumphantly, clutching her Doctor of Medicine degree, and in 2018, she completed her residency in Internal Medicine. Amidst the crucible of medical education and residency, the music became her sanctuary once again, a beacon of solace and strength, protecting her from the abyss of burnout.Now, with a heart that beats both for medicine and music, EUGEE stands poised at the intersection of two worlds, poised to inspire with her healing touch and captivate with her soulful melodies. Her journey, a testament to the boundless depths of human potential, serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder that our true calling can span across multiple realms. Hosted on Acast.

Robert & Rami interview former Memphis Tiger Sam Craft.
Sam Craft joined us to discuss all things solar, batteries and EV's, from an Australian perspective. This conversation covered lots of ground and gave us plenty of insights and laughs along the way. Sam is a Director of NRG Solar, the Smart Energy Council, co-founder of AWISE (Australian Women In Solar Energy) and is also an advisor to the SA Government and SA Power Networks.Just Another Solar Podcast is hosted by Luke Beattie and Karl Jensen.This is the sort of conversation industry professionals might have at the pub.If anything sounds like financial, business, legal or any other type of advice, you should always do your own research and get a professional opinion.
One of the first things you learn about the history of New Orleans is that the city was founded and settled by waves of people from both France and Spain. The relationship between these two European nations on the banks of the Mississippi was anything but simple and clear-cut. For one telling example, the architecture of New Orleans' French Quarter is actually Spanish. The governance of New Orleans swung from one nation to the other over the years, till eventually we became part of the United States. But the influences of French and LatinX people and culture continue to this very day. Valeria Ali is co-founder of a local Spanish language news service called Al Dia, which in English translates to “The Daily.” Al Dia texts the latest relevant local and national news to subscribers, in Spanish. Al Dia is a new project that's part of a larger Spanish language news operation, called Jambalaya News. Jambalaya is the predominant Spanish language news reporting and translation service in the state – around 30% of all Latinx people in Louisiana subscribe to Jambalaya's social media news platforms. Valeria came up with the idea for the text-message-based Al Dia news service and pitched it to a division of Google called Google News Initiative. Google said “yes” and gave Valeria the funds to launch Al Dia in July of 2021. The French influence came to Louisiana from two different directions. French settlers came to New Orleans from France. And French Acadians, who came to be called “Cajuns,” moved to South West Louisiana from Canada. The French from France and the Cajuns – who were originally also from France - spoke two different dialects of French. Today, Cajun French and regular French are more different from each other than ever. But here in New Orleans, a company called New Niveau is dedicated to encouraging the regular use of both dialects. Officially, New Niveau is a digital media agency and production house specializing in content creation, social media management, and live broadcasting. But New Niveau is most passionate about its work in French. They produce around five news stories in French a week, as well as two ongoing video series. One of them is “Le Tac Tac” – in English, “The Popcorn” – a local gossip show – and the other is “Les Nouvelles-Orléans” – which doesn't require translation - a daily news show. Both of these French language shows are hosted by co-founder of New Niveau, Sam Craft. It can be hard to put your finger on exactly what's so great about New Orleans. You can easily make a list of things that are challenging - from potholes to humidity - but it's harder to precisely enumerate what it feels like to walk around the French Quarter, ride the streetcar, eat a muffuletta, catch Zulu on Mardi Gras morning, strike up a conversation with a complete stranger in the grocery store, or hear music. A part of this indescribable spirit is the combination of cultures that built New Orleans. It's the way people here have always embraced difference, and incorporated it into daily life. It's how we got jazz. It's how we got our signature cuisine. And it's how we're continuing, to this day, to build our present and future culture. Valeria Ali and Sam Craft are both working every day to build bridges between people, between lives, and between languages. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at NOLA Pizza in the NOLA Brewing Taproom. You can find photos from this how by Jill Lafleur at our website.
