As a winner of the 2018 Black Music Awards and a core part of Arrested Development’s world tours and studio catalog, JJ brings decades of artistry, innovation, and lived experience to this conversation.We also explore his life beyond the stage — from his 20-year musical partnership with his wife, Nanyana Summer (yes… Dolly Parton’s distant cousin!), to their countless gigs across the Southeast, to the pride he carries as a father of two who celebrate his work every step of the way.This is a rich, soulful, behind-the-scenes look at an artist whose fingerprints have shaped generations of listeners.👉 If this conversation inspires you, make sure to subscribe to the podcast and stay connected to everything Kelly at:https://solo.to/kellycardenas
