Support The Dope Radio

Still smiling from yesterday. ✨

I had the honor of meeting the legendary GRAMMY Award-winning producer, songwriter, and New Jack Swing pioneer Teddy Riley at his book signing at for his memoir “Remember the Times.”

He was incredibly gracious, and we had a great conversation about , my podcast dedicated to giving the architects behind the music — producers, songwriters, musicians, music directors, and executives — the space to tell their stories in their own words.

We even talked about the AI panel discussion I recently hosted on the impact of AI on the music industry. And while I was waiting in line, his team pulled me aside to interview ME on video about Teddy and his impact on the culture… talk about an unexpected moment! 🎥

The best part? He’s open to joining me for a future conversation on the podcast. 👀🎙️ Stay tuned. 😉

Moments like this remind me exactly why I created Support The Dope Radio — to help document the real stories behind the soundtrack of our lives.

Grateful for the conversation, the signed book, and the continued journey. 🙏🏽✨
