DE176 Laura Cheadle | Teaching us how to “Chill”

Laura Cheadle teaching us how to “Chill”, her new album reveals the beautiful heart that beats beneath the groove in her soul~

Laura Cheadle a selfless and giving young woman, she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. A passionately driven singer-songwriter who is fiercely dedicated to her artistry and never shies away from any opportunity to dive deeper into her craft simply for the sake of doing it, because that’s what she was born to do.

Join me in this celebration of Laura’s brand new release “Chill” so let’s dive in together and witness a real artists rendition of what living life on your own terms is all about. Let’s pick it up from Laura just finishing a 10 mile run at the Gym…….no wonder she can hold those notes forever!

Who is Laura Cheadle?

If you’re longing for some real music that you can feel in your heart, lyrics that speak to your soul, and a live performance with the power to blow the roof off the sky, you can stop right here. If you’re tired of all the staged choreography, blinding light shows, capes, costumes, lip-synching and auto-tunes that seems to have taken over live performances, you have found a place to rest, refresh, and renew. Welcome to the world of Laura Cheadle.

Along with her Family Band, she has opened for some of the biggest names in the business and won numerous awards, including “Best Indie Jazz/Blues Band” at WXPN sponsored Tri- State Indie Music Awards. She has performed on stages from NYC to London, appeared on 6ABC’s “Tuned In” as the very first viewer’s choice, the “NBC 10″ Show, and the National reality show “Next Great Family Band.” Laura was recently featured in Curve Magazine, named one of “100 Women We Love” in Go Magazine, and declared a “Super Woman” in South Jersey Magazine for her active Charity Work.

Never one to measure herself according to the trends of the times or the female singer “flavor of the month,” Laura has carved out her own lane since she began performing as a child, and she has done it the old-fashioned way, on pure talent. Gifted with a voice powerful enough to shake rafters, and tender enough to navigate the entire range of the emotional scale, Laura Cheadle is a singer commanding more than just a listen or a look. Her albums, like her concerts, are an experience. Inseparable from the truth of the songs she writes, the raw emotion that tears out of her reach deep into your heart with the kind of performance we now only see in films like “Woodstock.”

With a vocal style that is a mesmerizing blend of soulful blues and timeless rock with both feet planted firmly in the funk, she brings her own unique interpretation to every song she sings, regardless of the genre she takes on. Whether it’s a concert of her own material, a sophisticated cabaret show, or a monster blues jam at the close of a festival, what you see and hear is what you’ll always.

DE175 Storyteller Series | Gender Genocide

Storyteller Series, Gender Genocide

Gender Genocide

You girls gossip, like we drink Vodka, now we’re both talking trash about each other’s past, now you’re alright, and were all wrong, I hear the DJ playing, that favorite breakup song…..

I can clearly see what we’ve come to be, what made us decide, to generate those ties, it’s a heartless exercise, and it’s tearing me inside, it’s just DNA colliding its Gender Genocide

So you got a divorce and it was all his fault of course, and me I’m spitting anger unloading on a stranger, you’re on your 13th cosmo, and I’m dancing with Jack Daniels, it’s a never-ending learning journey, I’m not equipped to handle.

We used to be a perfect painting etched in colored glass, but we went crashing to the pavement, and we were shattered, then scattered, a trillion tiny shiny memories reflected through the glass, shattered then scattered, as the southern wind came whipping through our tortured torrid past…..

Why is divorce still so rampant among the countries of the world, some more than others. What country has the highest divorce rate in the world, and why? I just might have the answer in this episode!

It’s Trevor’s birthday today (July 25th) Trevor Kevin O’Connor you can check him out on DE63.

The divorce rate in the US is 53%, however, Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, the Czech Republic, Belgium, and Hungary are worse off with divorce rates exceeding 60% but get this, Chile has a 3% divorce rate, I may be moving to Chile today!

But the nutcracker of all nuts, “Maldives” the highest divorce rate in the world, the average local 30-year-old has already been married and divorced 3 times! and is ready for the 4th?? what??
Ironically its also a favorite destination for newlyweds looking for romance on their honeymoon!

Check out more interesting relationship stories in this one, there are some funny moments in here!

DE174 Rakale Hannah | Bliss Guide and Abundance Coach

Rakale Hannah, Bliss Guide and Abundance Coach

Rakale Hannah is a Singer/Songwriter, Life Coach, and Motivational Speaker and is preparing to release her debut Album, Other Side Of Blue.

I’d like to discuss the journey of getting to the other side of blue. I also want to discuss the message behind Ho’ponopono, and #timesup.

On this episode:

As I continued to do the work to heal my own life, people began to come to me for insight themselves and it was like my journey of self-discovery, was turning into an opportunity for me to be able to support other people, and doing what they love as well.

I am so happy now to have slowed down the wills of a few things in my life so that I can focus on my first love which is music, I am excited to be here today to talk with you, someone who is so passionate about music!”

All of “you” can be in your life, I am a person who is passionate about personal development but I am also a singer and I get to be both of those things, in my album, my passion for personal development is there, as well as my love for R&B, soulful, sexy music.

 I have the capacity to hold space for the deeper work, but I like to be in forwarding motion, and that’s what I believe a life coach is”

 On Growing up: “I was at Church every Sunday, Wednesday, most Friday’s, some Saturdays, and I was only allowed to listen to Gospel music as a child.”

Rakale Hannah songs:

– Other Side of Blue-
– Times Up-
– Ho’ponopono-
– Makin Music-

Joy’s a true entertainer who tours 25 countries a year and has wowed the world with her red-carpet style (Entertainment Weekly, E!, Billboard, NY Daily News, Los Angeles Times, to name a few).
Joy is a natural music and theater performer, discovering her knack for the stage at the age of 5 in her first theater musical. Joy loves writing songs and has collaborated on numerous projects around the world with an array of international producers and artists.

Joy blends alternative rock, soul and pop into finely crafted tunes that aim to motivate and inspire.  She treats her fans known as #JoyTribe to “The Joy Villa Experience.”

On this episode:

Dangerous is my middle name

The dress is gorgeous with Trump on the Rump

I wanted to show my support for the President

It is the most incredible thrilling moment of my life and professional career.

I faced a lot of backlashes, death threats, how dare you, string her up, someone should kill her, stop inviting her, hunt her down etc, but there was way more love than hate.

One of the producers at the Grammys stopped me and asked is this a joke?
Are you just being ironic? I responded nope, I voted 100% for Trump.

Sometimes your strength can be found in being vulnerable.

Joy’s new album “Home Sweet Home” is now available at JoyVilla.com or on Amazon, Itunes, and all major retailers!
