S5-EP14: All Mixed Up: Jaycee Cames on Poetry, Music, and the Ghost Singers

Doyle sits down with Jaycee Cames—poet, visionary, and the creative force behind The Ghost Singers. From his acclaimed poetry collection Urban Rhythm and Rhyme: Poetry for the Next Generation to his genre-bending debut album All Mixed Up, Jaycee transforms grief, resilience, and joy into art that refuses to be confined.

In this episode, Jaycee opens up about:

• Growing up in North Hollywood amid challenges that shaped his creative path

• How poetry became both survival and liberation

• The birth of The Ghost Singers after the loss of his sister Joanna, and the healing power of songwriting

• Blurring genres—from heartfelt ballads like Daddy, My Dear Daddy to club anthems like Boom Boom Booty

• Finding inspiration in his children, and building a legacy of resilience and joy through music

From ghostly encounters to glittering club beats, Jaycee reminds us that art is where sorrow and laughter, silence and sound, all collide. This conversation is raw, uplifting, and proof that creativity can be both survival and celebration.
