What happens when a powerhouse vocalist trades industry expectations for cultural rhythm? In this episode, I sit down with Malik Davage — former contestant on The Voice, a standout on 106 & Park, and now the electrifying frontman of one of the hottest go-go bands on the East Coast.
We get real about his music journey: the pressure of televised fame, how go-go music reignited his purpose, and what it truly takes to evolve as an artist in a world addicted to instant fame. Malik shares the highs, the heartbreaks, and the hustle and he does it with raw honesty, vocal runs, and a little DC bounce.
If you love nostalgic R&B, the culture of go-go, and stories of artistic reinvention, this interview is your backstage pass to something unforgettable.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
