In this raw and revealing episode of Talk Toomey, host Joshua Toomey sits down with AJ Channer to talk about his powerful new project, CHNNR. AJ opens up about his tumultuous departure from Fire From The Gods and the dark spiral that followed — from drugs and rehab to jail and hard lessons learned. He discusses breaking free from rock star stereotypes, losing friends along the way, and finding redemption through rebuilding his family and his purpose. AJ also shares stories of humility, including his time as a “failed FedEx driver,” and how all of it led to new beginnings and creative rebirth with CHNNR.
