Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Apiwe Bubu, Persistence Between Two Worlds
Q: What drew you to Berklee and how did the audition process unfold?
The audition was grueling and spread over multiple years and cities, with a decisive realization that the highest level of education could unlock lifelong opportunities. Persistence and careful preparation were essential to earning a place.
Msaki, Catching Songs Between Worlds
Q: How do you approach collaborations and manage multiple creative projects?
She describes collaboration as a calling, emphasizing respect, observation, and the art of inviting others into spaces where their strengths complement her weaknesses, while simultaneously managing time to stay an artist first and a mentor/leader second.
Msaki, Catching Songs Between Worlds
Q: Why did you decide to go independent when you started your career?
She explains a gut feeling to pursue independence, driven by creative control, meaningful collaborations, and a belief that a non-linear, circular approach to the music value chain would better serve her songs and vision.
Tumi Rabanye, Endless Questions Behind Strategy
Q: How did you end up choosing a path into advertising and strategy?
I initially considered law or journalism, but the exposure to media and a curiosity about who makes the decisions behind how we speak steered me toward advertising. Shadowing and early experiences showed me there was a formal discipline around strategy which I embraced as my calling.
Tats Nkonzo, Laughing Through Generational Reckonings
Q: What role does community play in sustaining artists outside of big-brand sponsorships?
Community and collaboration are essential; equity and shared ownership help ensure that artists can thrive without being serially dependent on brand deals, and practical structures like local events, collectives, and neighborhood networks can sustain and grow creative work.
