Speaker 4 (01:05):
Jesus is real. Fuck it, man, I just can't explain it.
Everybody's talk.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
What you're doing.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Go to your feet right now, show your love for
the doctor, Bishop, Honourble.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Reverend John Peeky baby, what's up? How are you feeling?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I'm excellent, man, I'm just grateful to be here. Thanks
for coming on. Yeah, buddy, I don't want to ask you,
so you just got to. You just released a new album,
The rests Ellen Project. How did that come about?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Race was the father of mine.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I don't know if anybody knew, but anybody really knows
me know how much respect I had for him as
a father, as a bishop, as a pastor, as a
genuine friend, a genuine man of God. And when he
passed on a Friday night, that Saturday morning, I started
working Wow, the tribute record to him, twenty eight hot tracks.
(01:52):
Everybody from Jean More to Fred Hammond, Dietrich Hadding, everybody's
on it, uh and Jason Nelson and Zaccardi.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
The list is long, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
And I just love him with my heart and I
wanted this music to be remembered by this generation that
changed my life. It was funky, it was real, it
crossed over. Everybody gave Kirk Franklin credit for being the
first to cross over, and that's not true. R answers
rocking R and B radio when I was a kid.
And so twenty eight hot tracks. I'm excited about it.
(02:30):
After the production, we started trying to determine how we're
going to release it. So we're releasing it in increments
of seven, five, six, seven songs. But people are going
to really enjoy this project, and I'm excited about it.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Yeah, that's another question I want to ask you because
I went back and I love listening to your album
So when I listened to you as I noticed that
you have lots of songs rather than other artists. So
what so why why do you put you know, a
lot of songs out instead of the normal teen or
twelve song.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Oh it was, well, it also gives you reason that
I have over forty three.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Hundred songs unreleased. Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
And because when I would work on a project, I
wouldn't work on ten, I'd work on twenty five, I'd
work on thirty, and then we would have to select
and I would end up with twelve or sixteen, and
everybody saying, don't do that, don't do that, don't do that.
But I was doing it, and I created a huge catalog,
a huge And then John p Key is more than
just the gospel artist.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Excuse me.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I've done movie scores, I've done a lot of TV music.
So I've just been working for years. I love to work,
and I've always been the one that created a catalog
to make sure that was just not one hit on
a record. I would produce every song like it was
ready for radio. And so that's our camera.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
So so you've I know who's so who all have
you wrote for? I know you, I know You've done
a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
At fourteen years old, I was Phillis Hymen's Wow music director.
I worked with Donald Bird and the Blackbirds, just so
many so I've been out there. I was actually the
musician and MD for Miss Black Universe pageants all over
the country. So that's how I got to really get
my feet wet and meet so many other artists. We
(04:26):
just lost Harry Belafonte. I met him at fifteen, sixteen
years old. So I've just written for everybody from Vanessa
to James Cleveland, Daryl Coley, Hawkins, Edwin.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Man. My list is vast, is real long.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, I know man, that Backstreet Boys.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
So what inspired you to be a pastor? I know
the first year you didn't start out to the pastor.
You ultimately started out as just artists.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Man.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah, I was reading You Like to Detroit and he
was a spider pastor.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, it's funny you bring that up. Not too many
people bring that up. I was Southfield, Michigan, and I
just wanted to make sure that my call was in line,
and I think I got to a place where I
was disturbed, and more than being disturbed, it was the
(05:22):
call on my life, you know, it was tugging at me,
you know. And so I'm in Southfield, Michigan with Mike
Brooks with young artists for Christ and I'm crying out
to God Man And it was an experience in the
red roof end and I'll never forget so and the
inspiration to become I don't know if I could answer that,
(05:43):
because I don't. I don't think I was inspired to become.
I think I I yielded to the call.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
And many people know the story of salvation with John,
one of my buddies was gunned down about four blocks
of my church, and uh, I promise God if he
got me home safe.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
That It's been.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Almost forty years now, and I still feel like God
had a hand on me, even when I was in sin,
when we were yet centers. Christ's God for the Ungod,
but I think he had purpose from my life when
I was selling that dope for three and a half
years in the green store across from the church.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
So now you're back on tour with a broken tour. Yeah,
So how what is it like Tory now? Is it
different than when it was torn maybe twenty years ago?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Is it you know what it's It's it's it's it's good.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
And people always ask me that it's if it's stressful
or and not at all. Man, I enjoy doing it
broken as a message after COVID and after after the
pandemic to find the people that are hurting and love
on them. And that's what I'm doing. That's that's that's it.
That's so it's not just a concert where you're experiencing
(07:00):
John Pecke's Oh Music You. Actually healing is taking place
on this Broken tour, man, and I love it every city.
I'm Saint Louis and Cincinnati this weekend. I can't wait
to just give that message of hope to the people.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Man.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So that when mister Brooklyn Till coming to Birmingham.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Wow, I came through Birmingham twice last week. We need
to come. I'm gonna call shout out till my buddy
past this sudden. I'm gonna get back to Birmingham soon.
Birmingham and showed me love like never before. Ricky Smiley
is my family, and we used to go and shout
out to Grandma. His grandmother was so dear to me.
We would go and do concerts in Birmingham from the
(07:41):
church house outside and Birmingham never fell short of showing
Uncle John some real.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Love, so be Ham.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
We're in the age of documentaries and bio peaks is
they're a John Pke bio people documentary and the work
it needs to have.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
You know, a couple more people got to die before
I tell my whole story.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
You know, I don't want to.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
My story is intense and I've got to tell it
one day and I'm excited about it.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It needs to be can't be played with.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
It probably probably won't be on the gospel channel because
I gotta tell the truth about some things. P Key
just wasn't an artist starting out, you know, he was
the owner of the strip club in d C. I mean,
you just I want to tell the whole thing. And
in order to tell the whole story, I'm sure Grandma
might not let the babies watch. But if the story's
gonna come out, we're not gonna water it down like
(08:34):
I've seen some others or make up stories to make
it interesting.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I'm gonna tell the true John Pekey story. Wow.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
So what do you think of good network like Netflix?
No Lifetime? NOI Well, let me tell you something good.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
It's funny.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Your Lifetime came handle my story. I'm producing a movie
right now. Five scenes from finishing my dad's movie about
a young man who gets a record deal in nineteen
forty seven and headed to New York and the Klan
shot the tires out of their bus. We shot all
those scenes along with my dad's movie. You've got Mahya Jackson,
(09:09):
James Cleveland, the Caravans and the Dixie humming Birds doing
a tour and people say, well, what do they have
to do with each other? At the end of the movie.
When I was a kid back in Durham passed the
services that what hap these gigantic concerts. So the end
of the movie, they got this gigantic concert in Durham.
They bring my daddy and put the group back together.
My son John John is playing my father from age
(09:31):
fourteen to.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
And Bishop ran Salad, who we're talking about today, placed
my father in the movie and he finished all of
the scenes and did an amazing job.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Wow. I can't wait to see that. That's gonna be good.
It's gonna be good. Wow. So let me ask you this.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
So when you look, do you think that gospel music
has changed from when when you first started until now.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Do you think that absolutely there's no more gospel music.
I mean, I don't even know how we can categorize it.
You have to go back and snatch those old tunes.
And I'm not a hater of the newbies. I think
that they're here on purpose and they're doing what they've
been commanded to do.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
My concern is that we that do hold true to
the the.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Art of gospel. Never forget this VIP. I'm bringing Ricky Dillard.
I'm bringing choirs back into Charlotte for a VIP.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
You like, hey, two and six to thirty here.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
In Charlotte, We're gonna I'm bringing that old music back man.
And you still our music works, man. I just saw
a guy on on on Instagram do Jesus as Real
for Eastern Choir West, and I went crazy, man, because
it was so good.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
They held it down. So I'm excited about that. So
what's your favorite songs perform live and concern? Wow, I'm
a medic. Yeah, I got a lot.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
I just found a song the day that I had
forgotten about. Standing in the Need of Pressure just works
every time. And now when we do it live, I
do standing and Need and then I go into I
belong to you by rents and it's it's working, real
good works.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Red Man. I just love your song Lily in the Valley.
I just I'm just.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I just come on, bro, and let me say something
about that being being being classically trained or touching the
jazz it in whatever you want to call me, or
whatever I've been classified as. I always go back or
went that. That was my production secret. That's why I
think I'm still working while a lot of artists are
waiting for their phone to ring.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Years ago.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I would do my music that I enjoyed if you would,
and then I go back and do something old for
my grandma. Made sure my grandma had at least two
hits on every record, you know, something traditional, and it worked.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Man.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I sing Lily in the Valley now, I don't care
where I am. If I sing Mansion, people still rocket
like it came out yesterday. But yeah, man, I enjoy
your church music. And I gained something, or I gleaned
something from the late Reverend James Cleveland, his ability to
(12:20):
keep the house in the palm of his hand. You know,
we still do concerts and people standing from I have
to make them sit down.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
So that's a good thing. I don't. I don't, I don't.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I don't attribute that to the music as much as
I do the spirit of the moment. So people, I
just said this before I went on an interview with you,
that a John Tcky experience is just that, you know,
we bring worship to the house. We don't beg you
to get up because we come to have good time ourselves.
So you joined in with me and we have a ball.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Oh you used to bring a new light with you
when you while you're on tour.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yeah, yeah, Well I'm getting ready to do a five
city tour.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
We're doing.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Five major city video tour where we're doing all the
hit I'm bringing everybody back from Isaac to Lowell. I'm
gonna bring everybody. Everybody don't make it to the same city,
they will be in a city. So I'm excited about that.
And we're gonna keep the same time stamped, same tempos.
So you'll start out watching me in Atlanta and all
of a sudden you blink eye and the transition and
(13:20):
I'm in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's gonna be good. So as an artist, how how
have you been able?
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Because I see now a lot of pastors are pat
their pastors and they're artists. So but you have seen
to maintain both. So how do how have you been
able to maintain being an artist then being a pastor.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
My infrastructure is good, my family is good. So I
don't have to wake up every morning and do like
most people, create a new identity. I don't have to
wake up and create a new profile. I know who
John Peaky is, and when you know who you are,
you're not tripping man.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Life is just life. So I wake up and this
is the.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Way I do. I learned my new work compartmentalized. I
know how to take a month and just do my artwork.
I'm just doing my art I'm just drawing or I'm
just painting. I know how to take my season where
I'm just fishing and I'm just fishing. I know how
to take my season when I'm just working on music.
So I'm really good at the balance. So you say
(14:23):
you said everything but pastoring. Now let me tell you
where pastoring fits in. It covers all of that. I
love the Word of God. I'm constantly studying, I'm constantly
preaching in my head, so I'm never unprepared.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I'm doing a series now at my.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Church, I identify as and it's been real good. It's
supposed to be one Sunday, it has dribbled into the
three Sundays.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I'll be teaching it finishing the game this week.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
So so I'm balanced as a person, you know, And
I'm a happy person period. So the frustrated guy, I
just and and and I live life like it's the
last day.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I'm gonna honor God today.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Coster Mansen Oh, as a pastor, how did the pandemic
or the COVID pandemic effect church?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Well, it didn't catch me by surprise because we were
already feeding the hungry. We were already ministering to the neighborhood.
So a lot of churches that had no outreach died. Wow,
because it wasn't about that in person church anymore. You
had to have a purpose if you would. So we
handled it. We went outside, brought the speakers outside, and
(15:37):
and and churched on Sundays. You know. We called it
pull up and praise, and we didn't miss a beat.
I'm back in now in church's packed, and we've done
no promo. I mean, we don't do promo anyway, but
there's never been a come this is John p Key's chard,
Dada that we don't do that. So being that we
(15:58):
were outreaching ministry, were able to go out and get them.
So now the church is thriving again, sixty four active
programs because we didn't let it die. We didn't let
it die. And uh, I'm excited. I'm the only church
with an ex drug dealers association in the church teaching
these little young boys how to be entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs for real.
And we just we we never stopped doing church, you know.
(16:24):
So we ministered to the people of God and made
it happen and hey, we survived.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Man. Wow. So I want to ask you this.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
So I saw what you said that you had cleared
your fifteen million dollars debt, I want to say congratulations.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
And I also want to say, was that a challenge?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Because now when you look at a lot we don't know,
but a lot of churches that we think are thriving
or like this, you know there in that So was
it a challenge to try to pe that that?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Were you worried or.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
How was that?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Let me tell you something, brother, Not only was it
not a challenge, it was discipline. I went to my
sister maybe six years ago, and I said, can you
operate many passages would sell what I'm getting to tell
you right now, said can you operate this church on
three Sundays a month. She paused and said yeah. I
(17:15):
said do it, because that for Sunday is going to
be debt free Sunday. Every nickel, every dime that's raised
on that Sunday will go towards our debt. And when
I did that, brother, let me say this to you.
When I tell you we paid off everything. Matter of fact,
we came out of debt and didn't know it. We
were in the middle of the pandemic. Wow, pull up
(17:35):
and praise it. One Sunday she looked, called me in
the office said, pass, I need to tell you something.
We don't have any more bills, nothing, everything's paid for.
So we had millions of dollars.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Man.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
We worked with their bank over the years, special projects, everything,
and every dime, every nickel was paid ourself.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
We're debt free church.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
And I preached debt free, I can't spend that, and uh,
it's it's working. And here's what's really good about it.
Not only did the spirit of no debt fall upon
the household of faith over the coming to church, but
it fell on the spirit of the people. So people
start working on their personal issues. And that's the way
(18:18):
I pastor. Man, if it's good enough for the pastor,
it's good enough for you. And uh, I don't take
a salary. I never taken a salary from the church.
And and and that's not out of order. If you
guys are taking care of your pastors, keep doing it.
But I've just been so blessed from day one that
God has just rained on me because I didn't have
the heart to to to I don't want to say
(18:41):
trick the people because I don't want to accuse other
pastors of that. But I've been able to be honorable
and honest and finances and that that that didn't that
didn't hurt us at all.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
You did the rest Allen project. So should we be
expecting any of your music just you just put for
you just oh yeah, that was the deal. Walking in
the door.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Shout out to Ty Scott Warner, everybody that's involved the
Key music group. John Piskey's coming, He's coming hard. I'm
excited about it too, and we've got some great music.
And uh, we start working on that the middle of
this month.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Finish.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yeah, I'm eighty percent done, but yeah, I'm coming back again.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And he's still John Picky, still sing like he was.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
He could back and said, nine, that's preserved. The vocal
really good and I'm grateful for it. Can you do
me a favor?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Can you just re recording Lily in the Valley and
put it on the album?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I might be your age and say that it's good man.
I mean we we were able to bless a generation
that remembers Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Wow, and standing in need of Prayer Jesus is real. Wow.
So how did you write these songs? So? What did
you just wake up one night?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
It was like, well, music, It's been a part of me, Pier.
I get angry when I hear writers talk about writer's
block and not encouraged. And I'm encouraged by everything, the
slamming of a door, the beil in the house, whatever.
And what makes me really rejoice is these songs had
(20:17):
to be annointed because I really can't remember times. I
remember Standing in need a Prayer I wrote at Charlie
Reed's mother's house in Oak Cliff, Texas. I remember I
was writing it for our artists out of Houston by
the name of gay Arbuckle, and so.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I remember that one. But just.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
My favorite John Peaky song is Thursday Love. Go check
it out. It's a song google at everybody, Thursday Love.
It was a season when I was about to give
up and give up, I mean give up, and God
gave me those words, those lyrics out on the balcony
of the bath House studio. So certain songs I remember.
(21:03):
My favorite mixed song is a VIP song called When
Morning Comes. So I got a couple of phase out there,
but I thank God I embraced the whole catalog, and uh,
there was a time I didn't.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I wanted the new music.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
We were practicing new music and go out on the
road and I was literally offended that people were screaming.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Never shall forget Jesus was real.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah, but do you know, I take they were screaming
the old stuff, and I was like, no, But I've
embraced it in my old age now and I love
doing the songs and love singing the people fellowship and
worship with me.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Wow. So what's your favorite place to perform?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Wow, this is gonna get me in trouble. At Atlanta
at last. Man, I'm in Atlanta every three weeks, I don't.
I'm booked for Atlanta, and then Atlanta's really funny because
I'll come to Atlanta and we got a packed house
(22:05):
or a packed park, and it's that sect of people.
And then I'll come back three weeks later and that's
a whole new crew. So maybe I'll get to Atlanta
invite everybody, and everybody will come.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
So let me ask you, because I know, I know,
I've seen you know online, I read reviews. So do
you think that it is a difference between performing and
the church and an actual venue on an arena.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Don't matter to me, They're the same. That's same. To
some artists, it's different. But I'm so not into John
p Key. So it don't matter if I got a
church or an outside arena or concert hall. It doesn't matter.
I come for the same purpose. Every time I walk
(22:51):
in the building, We're gonna bless the Lord in here, Selina.
It doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
So when you go on the road, what is one
thing that you must have? It's just something that you
need to have, Like, I gotta have this. I can't
go on the room without.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
This my sea pap machine. I love it. That's girlfriend.
I caught her pap pap and look I don't even
need it anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I snoring this gun. Well.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I was about one hundred and sixty three pounds hea
here when I first got on that. So yeah, so
I gotta have my baby. She gotta go with me.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Wow, And I know you you got your black jacket off,
So it's there a so like, do you just feel
different when you dope be forwar without your black jacket?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Man, I went somewhere and they didn't have my Two
weeks ago they left O's or somewhere and I didn't
have my black jacket.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I was upset. That's what I am.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Stellar Awards, Grammys, wherever I performed from now and I'm
gonna have my black on. Yeah you shout out to
Don Jackson. My friend offered me the opportunity to open
the Stellars this year and already I'm in Birmingham.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Yeah okay, So let me ask you, so, do you
enjoyget their performing at the music Award shows?
Speaker 3 (24:04):
No, not at all. That's facts, And please don't edit
this out, Moose. Artists wouldn't dare say that, not at all.
It's just not what it used to be. Man. It's
just more than camaraderie. Now it's comfort and I get
the respect. I'm not disrespected in any arena, even from
(24:26):
the young ones, the new Bees, the old Bees, everybody.
But wow, if I do it, my mindset is that
I'm going to touch somebody on TV that's not gonna
be able to come to the arena to the concert.
So that's the concept that would make me possibly go in.
I've dug too many opportunities. I'm done when it comes
(24:48):
to that, so it has to be worth my time.
Matter of fact, we're negotiating something yesterday down in Jacksonville,
a TV show for Beet and they said, well, we
already have our band. We just want you to show up.
I won't be there. No, I'm like prince and my
name is Prince. When I come, I gotta bring my crew.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
So yeah, so how did you get the name? How
did you get the crown as the Prince of Gospel?
They found out my real name. I hit my name
for years.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I just John Peakey and I think Brian or his father,
doctor Scott Leonard Scott interviewed my mom or something, and
they let that cat out of the bag. So once
they found out my name was legally John Prince Key,
they tagged that Prince on Man and I've been I've
(25:37):
been stained ever since.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Well, mister Key, I want to thank you. I want
to thank you so much for coming on today. Thank

Jesus is real. Fuck it, man, I just can't explain it.
Everybody's talk.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
What you're doing.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
Go to your feet right now, show your love for
the doctor, Bishop, Honourble.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Reverend John Peeky baby, what's up? How are you feeling?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I'm excellent, man, I'm just grateful to be here. Thanks
for coming on. Yeah, buddy, I don't want to ask you,
so you just got to. You just released a new album,
The rests Ellen Project. How did that come about?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Race was the father of mine.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I don't know if anybody knew, but anybody really knows
me know how much respect I had for him as
a father, as a bishop, as a pastor, as a
genuine friend, a genuine man of God. And when he
passed on a Friday night, that Saturday morning, I started
working Wow, the tribute record to him, twenty eight hot tracks.
(01:52):
Everybody from Jean More to Fred Hammond, Dietrich Hadding, everybody's
on it, uh and Jason Nelson and Zaccardi.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
The list is long, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
And I just love him with my heart and I
wanted this music to be remembered by this generation that
changed my life. It was funky, it was real, it
crossed over. Everybody gave Kirk Franklin credit for being the
first to cross over, and that's not true. R answers
rocking R and B radio when I was a kid.
And so twenty eight hot tracks. I'm excited about it.
(02:30):
After the production, we started trying to determine how we're
going to release it. So we're releasing it in increments
of seven, five, six, seven songs. But people are going
to really enjoy this project, and I'm excited about it.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Yeah, that's another question I want to ask you because
I went back and I love listening to your album
So when I listened to you as I noticed that
you have lots of songs rather than other artists. So
what so why why do you put you know, a
lot of songs out instead of the normal teen or
twelve song.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Oh it was, well, it also gives you reason that
I have over forty three.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Hundred songs unreleased. Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
And because when I would work on a project, I
wouldn't work on ten, I'd work on twenty five, I'd
work on thirty, and then we would have to select
and I would end up with twelve or sixteen, and
everybody saying, don't do that, don't do that, don't do that.
But I was doing it, and I created a huge catalog,
a huge And then John p Key is more than
just the gospel artist.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Excuse me.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I've done movie scores, I've done a lot of TV music.
So I've just been working for years. I love to work,
and I've always been the one that created a catalog
to make sure that was just not one hit on
a record. I would produce every song like it was
ready for radio. And so that's our camera.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
So so you've I know who's so who all have
you wrote for? I know you, I know You've done
a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
At fourteen years old, I was Phillis Hymen's Wow music director.
I worked with Donald Bird and the Blackbirds, just so
many so I've been out there. I was actually the
musician and MD for Miss Black Universe pageants all over
the country. So that's how I got to really get
my feet wet and meet so many other artists. We
(04:26):
just lost Harry Belafonte. I met him at fifteen, sixteen
years old. So I've just written for everybody from Vanessa
to James Cleveland, Daryl Coley, Hawkins, Edwin.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Man. My list is vast, is real long.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, I know man, that Backstreet Boys.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
So what inspired you to be a pastor? I know
the first year you didn't start out to the pastor.
You ultimately started out as just artists.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Man.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah, I was reading You Like to Detroit and he
was a spider pastor.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, it's funny you bring that up. Not too many
people bring that up. I was Southfield, Michigan, and I
just wanted to make sure that my call was in line,
and I think I got to a place where I
was disturbed, and more than being disturbed, it was the
(05:22):
call on my life, you know, it was tugging at me,
you know. And so I'm in Southfield, Michigan with Mike
Brooks with young artists for Christ and I'm crying out
to God Man And it was an experience in the
red roof end and I'll never forget so and the
inspiration to become I don't know if I could answer that,
(05:43):
because I don't. I don't think I was inspired to become.
I think I I yielded to the call.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
And many people know the story of salvation with John,
one of my buddies was gunned down about four blocks
of my church, and uh, I promise God if he
got me home safe.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
That It's been.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Almost forty years now, and I still feel like God
had a hand on me, even when I was in sin,
when we were yet centers. Christ's God for the Ungod,
but I think he had purpose from my life when
I was selling that dope for three and a half
years in the green store across from the church.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
So now you're back on tour with a broken tour. Yeah,
So how what is it like Tory now? Is it
different than when it was torn maybe twenty years ago?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Is it you know what it's It's it's it's it's good.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
And people always ask me that it's if it's stressful
or and not at all. Man, I enjoy doing it
broken as a message after COVID and after after the
pandemic to find the people that are hurting and love
on them. And that's what I'm doing. That's that's that's it.
That's so it's not just a concert where you're experiencing
(07:00):
John Pecke's Oh Music You. Actually healing is taking place
on this Broken tour, man, and I love it every city.
I'm Saint Louis and Cincinnati this weekend. I can't wait
to just give that message of hope to the people.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Man.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So that when mister Brooklyn Till coming to Birmingham.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Wow, I came through Birmingham twice last week. We need
to come. I'm gonna call shout out till my buddy
past this sudden. I'm gonna get back to Birmingham soon.
Birmingham and showed me love like never before. Ricky Smiley
is my family, and we used to go and shout
out to Grandma. His grandmother was so dear to me.
We would go and do concerts in Birmingham from the
(07:41):
church house outside and Birmingham never fell short of showing
Uncle John some real.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Love, so be Ham.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
We're in the age of documentaries and bio peaks is
they're a John Pke bio people documentary and the work
it needs to have.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
You know, a couple more people got to die before
I tell my whole story.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
You know, I don't want to.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
My story is intense and I've got to tell it
one day and I'm excited about it.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
It needs to be can't be played with.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
It probably probably won't be on the gospel channel because
I gotta tell the truth about some things. P Key
just wasn't an artist starting out, you know, he was
the owner of the strip club in d C. I mean,
you just I want to tell the whole thing. And
in order to tell the whole story, I'm sure Grandma
might not let the babies watch. But if the story's
gonna come out, we're not gonna water it down like
(08:34):
I've seen some others or make up stories to make
it interesting.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I'm gonna tell the true John Pekey story. Wow.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
So what do you think of good network like Netflix?
No Lifetime? NOI Well, let me tell you something good.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
It's funny.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Your Lifetime came handle my story. I'm producing a movie
right now. Five scenes from finishing my dad's movie about
a young man who gets a record deal in nineteen
forty seven and headed to New York and the Klan
shot the tires out of their bus. We shot all
those scenes along with my dad's movie. You've got Mahya Jackson,
(09:09):
James Cleveland, the Caravans and the Dixie humming Birds doing
a tour and people say, well, what do they have
to do with each other? At the end of the movie.
When I was a kid back in Durham passed the
services that what hap these gigantic concerts. So the end
of the movie, they got this gigantic concert in Durham.
They bring my daddy and put the group back together.
My son John John is playing my father from age
(09:31):
fourteen to.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
And Bishop ran Salad, who we're talking about today, placed
my father in the movie and he finished all of
the scenes and did an amazing job.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Wow. I can't wait to see that. That's gonna be good.
It's gonna be good. Wow. So let me ask you this.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
So when you look, do you think that gospel music
has changed from when when you first started until now.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Do you think that absolutely there's no more gospel music.
I mean, I don't even know how we can categorize it.
You have to go back and snatch those old tunes.
And I'm not a hater of the newbies. I think
that they're here on purpose and they're doing what they've
been commanded to do.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
My concern is that we that do hold true to
the the.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Art of gospel. Never forget this VIP. I'm bringing Ricky Dillard.
I'm bringing choirs back into Charlotte for a VIP.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
You like, hey, two and six to thirty here.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
In Charlotte, We're gonna I'm bringing that old music back man.
And you still our music works, man. I just saw
a guy on on on Instagram do Jesus as Real
for Eastern Choir West, and I went crazy, man, because
it was so good.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
They held it down. So I'm excited about that. So
what's your favorite songs perform live and concern? Wow, I'm
a medic. Yeah, I got a lot.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
I just found a song the day that I had
forgotten about. Standing in the Need of Pressure just works
every time. And now when we do it live, I
do standing and Need and then I go into I
belong to you by rents and it's it's working, real
good works.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Red Man. I just love your song Lily in the Valley.
I just I'm just.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I just come on, bro, and let me say something
about that being being being classically trained or touching the
jazz it in whatever you want to call me, or
whatever I've been classified as. I always go back or
went that. That was my production secret. That's why I
think I'm still working while a lot of artists are
waiting for their phone to ring.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Years ago.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I would do my music that I enjoyed if you would,
and then I go back and do something old for
my grandma. Made sure my grandma had at least two
hits on every record, you know, something traditional, and it worked.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Man.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
I sing Lily in the Valley now, I don't care
where I am. If I sing Mansion, people still rocket
like it came out yesterday. But yeah, man, I enjoy
your church music. And I gained something, or I gleaned
something from the late Reverend James Cleveland, his ability to
(12:20):
keep the house in the palm of his hand. You know,
we still do concerts and people standing from I have
to make them sit down.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
So that's a good thing. I don't. I don't, I don't.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
I don't attribute that to the music as much as
I do the spirit of the moment. So people, I
just said this before I went on an interview with you,
that a John Tcky experience is just that, you know,
we bring worship to the house. We don't beg you
to get up because we come to have good time ourselves.
So you joined in with me and we have a ball.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Oh you used to bring a new light with you
when you while you're on tour.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yeah, yeah, Well I'm getting ready to do a five
city tour.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
We're doing.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Five major city video tour where we're doing all the
hit I'm bringing everybody back from Isaac to Lowell. I'm
gonna bring everybody. Everybody don't make it to the same city,
they will be in a city. So I'm excited about that.
And we're gonna keep the same time stamped, same tempos.
So you'll start out watching me in Atlanta and all
of a sudden you blink eye and the transition and
(13:20):
I'm in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's gonna be good. So as an artist, how how
have you been able?
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Because I see now a lot of pastors are pat
their pastors and they're artists. So but you have seen
to maintain both. So how do how have you been
able to maintain being an artist then being a pastor.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
My infrastructure is good, my family is good. So I
don't have to wake up every morning and do like
most people, create a new identity. I don't have to
wake up and create a new profile. I know who
John Peaky is, and when you know who you are,
you're not tripping man.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Life is just life. So I wake up and this
is the.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Way I do. I learned my new work compartmentalized. I
know how to take a month and just do my artwork.
I'm just doing my art I'm just drawing or I'm
just painting. I know how to take my season where
I'm just fishing and I'm just fishing. I know how
to take my season when I'm just working on music.
So I'm really good at the balance. So you say
(14:23):
you said everything but pastoring. Now let me tell you
where pastoring fits in. It covers all of that. I
love the Word of God. I'm constantly studying, I'm constantly
preaching in my head, so I'm never unprepared.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I'm doing a series now at my.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Church, I identify as and it's been real good. It's
supposed to be one Sunday, it has dribbled into the
three Sundays.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
I'll be teaching it finishing the game this week.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
So so I'm balanced as a person, you know, And
I'm a happy person period. So the frustrated guy, I
just and and and I live life like it's the
last day.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I'm gonna honor God today.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Coster Mansen Oh, as a pastor, how did the pandemic
or the COVID pandemic effect church?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Well, it didn't catch me by surprise because we were
already feeding the hungry. We were already ministering to the neighborhood.
So a lot of churches that had no outreach died. Wow,
because it wasn't about that in person church anymore. You
had to have a purpose if you would. So we
handled it. We went outside, brought the speakers outside, and
(15:37):
and and churched on Sundays. You know. We called it
pull up and praise, and we didn't miss a beat.
I'm back in now in church's packed, and we've done
no promo. I mean, we don't do promo anyway, but
there's never been a come this is John p Key's chard,
Dada that we don't do that. So being that we
(15:58):
were outreaching ministry, were able to go out and get them.
So now the church is thriving again, sixty four active
programs because we didn't let it die. We didn't let
it die. And uh, I'm excited. I'm the only church
with an ex drug dealers association in the church teaching
these little young boys how to be entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs for real.
And we just we we never stopped doing church, you know.
(16:24):
So we ministered to the people of God and made
it happen and hey, we survived.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Man. Wow. So I want to ask you this.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
So I saw what you said that you had cleared
your fifteen million dollars debt, I want to say congratulations.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
And I also want to say, was that a challenge?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Because now when you look at a lot we don't know,
but a lot of churches that we think are thriving
or like this, you know there in that So was
it a challenge to try to pe that that?
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Were you worried or.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
How was that?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Let me tell you something, brother, Not only was it
not a challenge, it was discipline. I went to my
sister maybe six years ago, and I said, can you
operate many passages would sell what I'm getting to tell
you right now, said can you operate this church on
three Sundays a month. She paused and said yeah. I
(17:15):
said do it, because that for Sunday is going to
be debt free Sunday. Every nickel, every dime that's raised
on that Sunday will go towards our debt. And when
I did that, brother, let me say this to you.
When I tell you we paid off everything. Matter of fact,
we came out of debt and didn't know it. We
were in the middle of the pandemic. Wow, pull up
(17:35):
and praise it. One Sunday she looked, called me in
the office said, pass, I need to tell you something.
We don't have any more bills, nothing, everything's paid for.
So we had millions of dollars.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Man.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
We worked with their bank over the years, special projects, everything,
and every dime, every nickel was paid ourself.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
We're debt free church.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
And I preached debt free, I can't spend that, and uh,
it's it's working. And here's what's really good about it.
Not only did the spirit of no debt fall upon
the household of faith over the coming to church, but
it fell on the spirit of the people. So people
start working on their personal issues. And that's the way
(18:18):
I pastor. Man, if it's good enough for the pastor,
it's good enough for you. And uh, I don't take
a salary. I never taken a salary from the church.
And and and that's not out of order. If you
guys are taking care of your pastors, keep doing it.
But I've just been so blessed from day one that
God has just rained on me because I didn't have
the heart to to to I don't want to say
(18:41):
trick the people because I don't want to accuse other
pastors of that. But I've been able to be honorable
and honest and finances and that that that didn't that
didn't hurt us at all.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
You did the rest Allen project. So should we be
expecting any of your music just you just put for
you just oh yeah, that was the deal. Walking in
the door.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Shout out to Ty Scott Warner, everybody that's involved the
Key music group. John Piskey's coming, He's coming hard. I'm
excited about it too, and we've got some great music.
And uh, we start working on that the middle of
this month.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Finish.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yeah, I'm eighty percent done, but yeah, I'm coming back again.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And he's still John Picky, still sing like he was.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
He could back and said, nine, that's preserved. The vocal
really good and I'm grateful for it. Can you do
me a favor?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Can you just re recording Lily in the Valley and
put it on the album?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I might be your age and say that it's good man.
I mean we we were able to bless a generation
that remembers Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Wow, and standing in need of Prayer Jesus is real. Wow.
So how did you write these songs? So? What did
you just wake up one night?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
It was like, well, music, It's been a part of me, Pier.
I get angry when I hear writers talk about writer's
block and not encouraged. And I'm encouraged by everything, the
slamming of a door, the beil in the house, whatever.
And what makes me really rejoice is these songs had
(20:17):
to be annointed because I really can't remember times. I
remember Standing in need a Prayer I wrote at Charlie
Reed's mother's house in Oak Cliff, Texas. I remember I
was writing it for our artists out of Houston by
the name of gay Arbuckle, and so.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I remember that one. But just.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
My favorite John Peaky song is Thursday Love. Go check
it out. It's a song google at everybody, Thursday Love.
It was a season when I was about to give
up and give up, I mean give up, and God
gave me those words, those lyrics out on the balcony
of the bath House studio. So certain songs I remember.
(21:03):
My favorite mixed song is a VIP song called When
Morning Comes. So I got a couple of phase out there,
but I thank God I embraced the whole catalog, and uh,
there was a time I didn't.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
I wanted the new music.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
We were practicing new music and go out on the
road and I was literally offended that people were screaming.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Never shall forget Jesus was real.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah, but do you know, I take they were screaming
the old stuff, and I was like, no, But I've
embraced it in my old age now and I love
doing the songs and love singing the people fellowship and
worship with me.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Wow. So what's your favorite place to perform?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Wow, this is gonna get me in trouble. At Atlanta
at last. Man, I'm in Atlanta every three weeks, I don't.
I'm booked for Atlanta, and then Atlanta's really funny because
I'll come to Atlanta and we got a packed house
(22:05):
or a packed park, and it's that sect of people.
And then I'll come back three weeks later and that's
a whole new crew. So maybe I'll get to Atlanta
invite everybody, and everybody will come.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
So let me ask you, because I know, I know,
I've seen you know online, I read reviews. So do
you think that it is a difference between performing and
the church and an actual venue on an arena.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Don't matter to me, They're the same. That's same. To
some artists, it's different. But I'm so not into John
p Key. So it don't matter if I got a
church or an outside arena or concert hall. It doesn't matter.
I come for the same purpose. Every time I walk
(22:51):
in the building, We're gonna bless the Lord in here, Selina.
It doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
So when you go on the road, what is one
thing that you must have? It's just something that you
need to have, Like, I gotta have this. I can't
go on the room without.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
This my sea pap machine. I love it. That's girlfriend.
I caught her pap pap and look I don't even
need it anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I snoring this gun. Well.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
I was about one hundred and sixty three pounds hea
here when I first got on that. So yeah, so
I gotta have my baby. She gotta go with me.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Wow, And I know you you got your black jacket off,
So it's there a so like, do you just feel
different when you dope be forwar without your black jacket?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Man, I went somewhere and they didn't have my Two
weeks ago they left O's or somewhere and I didn't
have my black jacket.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I was upset. That's what I am.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Stellar Awards, Grammys, wherever I performed from now and I'm
gonna have my black on. Yeah you shout out to
Don Jackson. My friend offered me the opportunity to open
the Stellars this year and already I'm in Birmingham.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Yeah okay, So let me ask you, so, do you
enjoyget their performing at the music Award shows?
Speaker 3 (24:04):
No, not at all. That's facts, And please don't edit
this out, Moose. Artists wouldn't dare say that, not at all.
It's just not what it used to be. Man. It's
just more than camaraderie. Now it's comfort and I get
the respect. I'm not disrespected in any arena, even from
(24:26):
the young ones, the new Bees, the old Bees, everybody.
But wow, if I do it, my mindset is that
I'm going to touch somebody on TV that's not gonna
be able to come to the arena to the concert.
So that's the concept that would make me possibly go in.
I've dug too many opportunities. I'm done when it comes
(24:48):
to that, so it has to be worth my time.
Matter of fact, we're negotiating something yesterday down in Jacksonville,
a TV show for Beet and they said, well, we
already have our band. We just want you to show up.
I won't be there. No, I'm like prince and my
name is Prince. When I come, I gotta bring my crew.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
So yeah, so how did you get the name? How
did you get the crown as the Prince of Gospel?
They found out my real name. I hit my name
for years.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
I just John Peakey and I think Brian or his father,
doctor Scott Leonard Scott interviewed my mom or something, and
they let that cat out of the bag. So once
they found out my name was legally John Prince Key,
they tagged that Prince on Man and I've been I've
(25:37):
been stained ever since.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Well, mister Key, I want to thank you. I want
to thank you so much for coming on today. Thank
you for Shagar Town with me today. Man, I can
