The Monarch Brand has partnered with The Appraise the Phrase Show to bring a monthly series called the Creator Spotlight Series. This series is designed to platform individuals in the visual, performance, culinary, and language arts spaces — all spaces that are important to both ATP and The Monarch Brand alike.
In this episode, Daniel interviews Professor Larry Jenkins, a prominent figure in music education and the co-producer of the Grammy-winning album The Urban Hymnal. They discuss Larry's early love for music, the vibrant culture of HBCU bands, and the challenges and rewards of teaching music.
Larry shares insights into the hard work behind producing an album, the importance of networking in the music industry, and his journey as a co-founder of the band Brassfield. The conversation highlights the significance of education in the arts and the impact of mentorship on students' lives.
This episode was originally released in June 2025.
