Speaker 1 (00:11):
All right, everybody, welcome back to the Jay Walkers Show today.
I am sitting here with the Prince of gospel music
from Hits Lily in the Valley.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Standing in me.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
The prayer I do my Jesus is real. Fuck it, man,
I just can't explain it. Everybody's talk. What you're doing
to your feet right now? Show your love for the doctor, Bishop,
Honourble Reverend John Peeky. Baby, what's up?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
How are you feelings?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I'm excellent, man, I'm just grateful to be here. Thanks
for coming on.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Yeah, buddy, I.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Want to ask you, so you just gotta You just
released a new album, the rets Ellen Project.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
How did that come about?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Uh? Rams was the father of mine.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
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. It's a pastor, 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. Everybody
(01:12):
from Gene Moore to Fred Hammond, Dietrich Hadding, Everybody's on it,
and Jason Nelson and the Cardi The list is long,
you know, 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,
(01:33):
it crossed over. Everybody gave Kirk Franklin credit for being
the first to cross over, and that's our true rants
was rocking R and B radio when I was a kid.
And so twenty eight hot tracks. I'm excited about it.
After the production, we started trying to determine how we're
(01:53):
gonna release it. So we're releasing it in h increments
of seven, five six songs. But people are gonna really
enjoy this project, and I'm excited about it.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
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 like 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 ten
or twelve songs?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Oh it was well, it also gives you reason that
I have over forty three.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Hundred songs unreleased. Wow.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
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 to 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 artists. Excuse me. I've done movie scores.
(02:56):
I've done a lot of TV music. Has 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 1 (03:13):
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 4 (03:20):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
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
(03:46):
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 4 (03:59):
Man. My list is vast, is real long. Yeah, I
know Man Backstreet Boys. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
So what inspired you to be a pastor? I know
the first you didn't start out to the pastor. You
ultimately started out as just artists. And yeah, I was
reading you went to Detroit and he was in Spier
your pastor. 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
(04:36):
was in line.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And I think I got to a place where I
was disturbed, and more than being disturbed.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
It was the call on my life, you know. It
was tugging at me, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
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
be come. I don't know if I could answer that,
because I don't. I don't think I was inspired to
(05:06):
become I think I yielded to the call. Wow, and uh,
many people know the story of salvation with John. One
of my buddies was gunned down about four blocks from
my church and uh, I promise God if he got
me home safe. That It's been almost forty years now
and I still feel like God had a hand on
(05:31):
me even when I was in sin, when we were
yet center as Christ's God for the ungodly. 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 4 (05:42):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
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 4 (05:54):
You know what's it's it's it's it's good.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
And people always ask me that is if it's stressful
or and not at all. Man, I enjoy doing it broken.
It's 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 John
(06:19):
Picky'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 (06:34):
Man.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
So when mister Brooken till coming to Birmingham.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
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 has 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 and Birmingham from the
(07:01):
church house outside, and Birmingham never fell short of showing
Uncle John some real love.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
So be Ham.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
We're in the age of documentaries and Bio pigs Is.
They're a John p Ke Biopeakle documentary and the work
it needs to happen.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
You know, a couple more people got to die before
I tell my whole story.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
You know, I don't want to.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
My story is intense, and I've got to tell it
one day. And I'm excited about it. It needs to
be can't be played with 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
(07:46):
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 I've seen some others or make
up stories to make it interesting.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
I'm gonna tell the true John pe Key story. Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So what do you think of good network like Netflix?
No Lifetime, no being Well, let me tell you something good.
It's funny your Lifetime came in to my story. I'm
producing a movie right now.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
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, James Cleveland,
the Caravans and the Dixie humming Birds doing a tour
(08:32):
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 have 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 fourteen to.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
And Bishop Ran Sallen, who we're talking about today, placed
my father in the movie and he finished all of
the scenes and did an amazing job that.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Wow, I can't wait to see that.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
That's gonna be good. It's gonna be good. Wow.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
So let me ask you this, So when you look,
do you think that gospel music has changed from when
when you first started until now?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
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. My concern is that we that
do hold true to the the art of gospel never
(09:42):
forget this VIP.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I'm bringing Ricky Dillard.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I'm bringing choirs back into Charlotte for a VIP. You're like, hey,
two and six to the thirty here in Charlotte, we're
gonna I'm bringing that old music back man, and you
still for our music works?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Man. I just saw a guy.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
In on On on Instagram do Jesus's Real for Eastern Quiet
West and I went crazy, man, because it was so good.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
They held it down. So I'm excited about that.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
So what's your favorite songs perform live and concerned?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Wow? I'm ad this is yeah, I got a lot.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I just found a song the day that I had
forgotten about.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Standing in the Need of Pressure just works every time.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
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.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Real good works, Red Man.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I just love your song Lily in the Valley. I
just I'm just I.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
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. Years ago, I would do
(11:06):
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. Man,
I sing Lily in the Valley now, I don't care
where I am. If I sing Mansion, people still rocket
(11:26):
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.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
His ability to keep the house in the palm of
his hand.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
You know, we still do concerts and people standing from
I have to make them sit down.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
So that's a good thing. I don't. I don't, I don't.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
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 John Think experience. It's just that, you know, we
bring worship to the house. We don't beg you to
get up because we come to have a good time ourselves.
So you joined in with me and we have a ball.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Oh you used to.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Bring a new life with you when you when you're
on tour.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah, Well I'm getting ready to do a five city tour.
We're doing 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,
(12:33):
same tempos. So you'll start out watching me in Atlanta
and all of a sudden you blink your eye and
the transition and I'm in Dallas.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
That's gonna be good.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
So I want to ask you this, as an artist,
how how have you been able 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 (12:57):
My infrastructure is good, my fa 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.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Man.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Life is just life. So I wake up and then
this is the way I do. I learn 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
(13:38):
working on music. So I'm really good at the balance.
So you say 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 4 (13:57):
I'm doing a series now at my.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Church, identify As, and it's.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Been real good.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
It's supposed to be one Sunday, it has dribbled into
the three Sundays. I'll be teaching it finishing the game
this week. So so I'm balanced as a person, you know,
and I'm I'm I'm I'm a happy person period. So
I'm not a frustrated guy. I just and and and
and I live life like it's the last day. I'm
(14:25):
gonna honor God today.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Custer Monsen Oh as a pastor, how did the pandemic
or the COVID pandemic effect church.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
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
(14:57):
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 and church has 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 jud YadA that we don't do that. So being
(15:18):
that we were outreaching ministry, we were able to go
out and get him. So now the church is thriving again,
sixty four active programs because.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
We didn't let it die.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
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. So we ministered to the people
of God and made it happen and hey we survived.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Man.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Wow. So had to ask you this.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
So I saw what you said that you had cleared
your fifteen million dollars debt.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I want to say congratulations. I want to say, was
that a challenge?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
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 they're in debt. So was
it a challenge to try to pa the debt? Were
you worried or how was that?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
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 giving to tell
you right now, said can you operate this church on
three Sundays a month? She paused and said yeah. I
(16:34):
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
(16:55):
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 4 (17:06):
Man.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
We worked with their bank over the years, special projects, everything,
and every dime, every nickel has paid oursel. We are
debt free church. And I preach debt for you. I
can't expand that. And 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 Covenant Church,
(17:31):
but it fell on the spirit of the people. So
people start working on their personal issues. And that's the
way I pastor. Man, if it's good enough for the pastor,
it's good enough for you. And I don't take a salary.
I've never taken a salary from the church. And and
that's not a lot of order. If you guys are
taking care of your pastors, keep doing it. But I've
(17:51):
just been so blessed from day one that God has
just reigned on me because I didn't have the heart
to to I don't want to say trick the people
because I don't want to accuse other passes of that.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
But I've been able to be honorable and honest.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah, and finances and that that that didn't that didn't
hurt us at all.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You did the rest Allen project.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
So should we be expecting any of your music just
you just put like for you just.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Oh yeah, I was the deer walking in the door.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Shout out to tyme, Scott Warner or 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 we start working on that.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
The middle of this month. Finish.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yeah, I'm eighty percent done, but yeah, I'm coming back again.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
And he's still John Picky still seemed like he was.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
He could back and said, nine, that's preserved the vocal
really good and I'm grateful for it.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Can you do me a favor?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Can you just re recording Lily in the Valley and
put it on the album.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I might be your age and say that it's good man.
I mean we were able to bless a generation that
remembers yeah wow.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
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 (19:16):
It was like, well, music, it's been a part of
me period. 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
(19:37):
to be annointed because I really can't remember times. I
remember Standing in Need of Prayer I wrote at Charlie
Reed's mother's.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
House in Oak Cliff, Texas.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I remember I was writing it for our artists out
of Houston by the name of gay Arbuckle, and so
I remember that one.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
But just.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
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 Fathouse studio. So certain songs I remember. My
(20:23):
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 there
was a time I didn't. I wanted the new music.
We were practicing new music and go out on the
road and I was literally offended that people were screaming.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Never shall forget Jesus was real.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, but you know, 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 (20:56):
Wow. So what's your favorite place to perform?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Wow, this is gonna get me in trouble.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
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 or a packed park, and it's that sect
of people. And then I'll come back three weeks later
(21:31):
and that's a whole new crew. So maybe I'll get
to Atlanta invite everybody and everybody will come.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
So let me ask you this because I know, I know,
I've seen you, know Aline, I read reviews. So do
you think that it is a difference between performing and
the hurt and an actual venue or an arena.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Don't matter to me? They're the same, that same to
some artists, it's 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
(22:10):
I walk in the building, We're gonna bless the Lord
in it. So it doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
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 road without.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
This, my Sea Pap machine. I love it. That's girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
I caught her pap pap and look, I don't even
need it anymore.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
I snor on this gun.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Well, I was about one hundred and sixty three pounds
heav here when I first got on that.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
So yeah, so I gotta have my baby. She gotta
go with me. Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
And I know you you got your black jacket all,
so it's there a so like, do you just feel
different when you dopeing forwar without your black jacket?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Man, I went somewhere and they didn't have my Two
weeks ago they left os or somewhere and I didn't
have my black jacket.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
I was upset. That's what I am.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Stellar Awards, Grammys, wherever I perform from now, and I'm
gonna have my black own.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
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 (23:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Okay, So let me ask you this. So, do you
enjog still performing at the Music Award shows?
Speaker 4 (23:24):
No, not at all.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
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.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Man.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
It's just more than camaraderie now it's comfort and I
get the respect. I'm not disrespected in any arena, even
from the young ones, the new bees, the old Beast, everybody.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
But wow, if I do it.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
My mindset is that I'm going to touch somebody on
TV that's not gonna be able to come to the
arena or to the concert. So that's the concept that
would make me possibly go in. I've duck too many opportunities.
I'm done when it comes to that, so it has
to be worth my time. Matter of fact, we're negotiating
(24:12):
something yesterday down in Jacksonville, a TV show for BT,
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 got to bring my crew.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
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 (24:36):
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
(24:57):
been stained ever since.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Well that's the key. I want to thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (25:03):

All right, everybody, welcome back to the Jay Walkers Show today.
I am sitting here with the Prince of gospel music
from Hits Lily in the Valley.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Standing in me.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
The prayer I do my Jesus is real. Fuck it, man,
I just can't explain it. Everybody's talk. What you're doing
to your feet right now? Show your love for the doctor, Bishop,
Honourble Reverend John Peeky. Baby, what's up?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
How are you feelings?
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I'm excellent, man, I'm just grateful to be here. Thanks
for coming on.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Yeah, buddy, I.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Want to ask you, so you just gotta You just
released a new album, the rets Ellen Project.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
How did that come about?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Uh? Rams was the father of mine.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
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. It's a pastor, 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. Everybody
(01:12):
from Gene Moore to Fred Hammond, Dietrich Hadding, Everybody's on it,
and Jason Nelson and the Cardi The list is long,
you know, 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,
(01:33):
it crossed over. Everybody gave Kirk Franklin credit for being
the first to cross over, and that's our true rants
was rocking R and B radio when I was a kid.
And so twenty eight hot tracks. I'm excited about it.
After the production, we started trying to determine how we're
(01:53):
gonna release it. So we're releasing it in h increments
of seven, five six songs. But people are gonna really
enjoy this project, and I'm excited about it.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
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 like 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 ten
or twelve songs?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Oh it was well, it also gives you reason that
I have over forty three.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Hundred songs unreleased. Wow.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
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 to 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 artists. Excuse me. I've done movie scores.
(02:56):
I've done a lot of TV music. Has 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 1 (03:13):
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 4 (03:20):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
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
(03:46):
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 4 (03:59):
Man. My list is vast, is real long. Yeah, I
know Man Backstreet Boys. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
So what inspired you to be a pastor? I know
the first you didn't start out to the pastor. You
ultimately started out as just artists. And yeah, I was
reading you went to Detroit and he was in Spier
your pastor. 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
(04:36):
was in line.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And I think I got to a place where I
was disturbed, and more than being disturbed.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
It was the call on my life, you know. It
was tugging at me, you know.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
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
be come. I don't know if I could answer that,
because I don't. I don't think I was inspired to
(05:06):
become I think I yielded to the call. Wow, and uh,
many people know the story of salvation with John. One
of my buddies was gunned down about four blocks from
my church and uh, I promise God if he got
me home safe. That It's been almost forty years now
and I still feel like God had a hand on
(05:31):
me even when I was in sin, when we were
yet center as Christ's God for the ungodly. 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 4 (05:42):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
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 4 (05:54):
You know what's it's it's it's it's good.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
And people always ask me that is if it's stressful
or and not at all. Man, I enjoy doing it broken.
It's 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 John
(06:19):
Picky'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 (06:34):
Man.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
So when mister Brooken till coming to Birmingham.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
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 has 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 and Birmingham from the
(07:01):
church house outside, and Birmingham never fell short of showing
Uncle John some real love.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
So be Ham.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
We're in the age of documentaries and Bio pigs Is.
They're a John p Ke Biopeakle documentary and the work
it needs to happen.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
You know, a couple more people got to die before
I tell my whole story.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
You know, I don't want to.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
My story is intense, and I've got to tell it
one day. And I'm excited about it. It needs to
be can't be played with 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
(07:46):
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 I've seen some others or make
up stories to make it interesting.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
I'm gonna tell the true John pe Key story. Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So what do you think of good network like Netflix?
No Lifetime, no being Well, let me tell you something good.
It's funny your Lifetime came in to my story. I'm
producing a movie right now.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
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, James Cleveland,
the Caravans and the Dixie humming Birds doing a tour
(08:32):
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 have 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 fourteen to.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
And Bishop Ran Sallen, who we're talking about today, placed
my father in the movie and he finished all of
the scenes and did an amazing job that.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Wow, I can't wait to see that.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
That's gonna be good. It's gonna be good. Wow.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
So let me ask you this, So when you look,
do you think that gospel music has changed from when
when you first started until now?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
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. My concern is that we that
do hold true to the the art of gospel never
(09:42):
forget this VIP.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
I'm bringing Ricky Dillard.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
I'm bringing choirs back into Charlotte for a VIP. You're like, hey,
two and six to the thirty here in Charlotte, we're
gonna I'm bringing that old music back man, and you
still for our music works?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Man. I just saw a guy.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
In on On on Instagram do Jesus's Real for Eastern Quiet
West and I went crazy, man, because it was so good.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
They held it down. So I'm excited about that.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
So what's your favorite songs perform live and concerned?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Wow? I'm ad this is yeah, I got a lot.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I just found a song the day that I had
forgotten about.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Standing in the Need of Pressure just works every time.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
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.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Real good works, Red Man.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I just love your song Lily in the Valley. I
just I'm just I.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
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. Years ago, I would do
(11:06):
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. Man,
I sing Lily in the Valley now, I don't care
where I am. If I sing Mansion, people still rocket
(11:26):
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.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
His ability to keep the house in the palm of
his hand.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
You know, we still do concerts and people standing from
I have to make them sit down.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
So that's a good thing. I don't. I don't, I don't.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
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 John Think experience. It's just that, you know, we
bring worship to the house. We don't beg you to
get up because we come to have a good time ourselves.
So you joined in with me and we have a ball.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Oh you used to.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Bring a new life with you when you when you're
on tour.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah, Well I'm getting ready to do a five city tour.
We're doing 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,
(12:33):
same tempos. So you'll start out watching me in Atlanta
and all of a sudden you blink your eye and
the transition and I'm in Dallas.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
That's gonna be good.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
So I want to ask you this, as an artist,
how how have you been able 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 (12:57):
My infrastructure is good, my fa 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.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Man.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Life is just life. So I wake up and then
this is the way I do. I learn 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
(13:38):
working on music. So I'm really good at the balance.
So you say 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 4 (13:57):
I'm doing a series now at my.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Church, identify As, and it's.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Been real good.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
It's supposed to be one Sunday, it has dribbled into
the three Sundays. I'll be teaching it finishing the game
this week. So so I'm balanced as a person, you know,
and I'm I'm I'm I'm a happy person period. So
I'm not a frustrated guy. I just and and and
and I live life like it's the last day. I'm
(14:25):
gonna honor God today.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Custer Monsen Oh as a pastor, how did the pandemic
or the COVID pandemic effect church.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
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
(14:57):
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 and church has 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 jud YadA that we don't do that. So being
(15:18):
that we were outreaching ministry, we were able to go
out and get him. So now the church is thriving again,
sixty four active programs because.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
We didn't let it die.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
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. So we ministered to the people
of God and made it happen and hey we survived.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Man.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Wow. So had to ask you this.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
So I saw what you said that you had cleared
your fifteen million dollars debt.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
I want to say congratulations. I want to say, was
that a challenge?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
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 they're in debt. So was
it a challenge to try to pa the debt? Were
you worried or how was that?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
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 giving to tell
you right now, said can you operate this church on
three Sundays a month? She paused and said yeah. I
(16:34):
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
(16:55):
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 4 (17:06):
Man.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
We worked with their bank over the years, special projects, everything,
and every dime, every nickel has paid oursel. We are
debt free church. And I preach debt for you. I
can't expand that. And 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 Covenant Church,
(17:31):
but it fell on the spirit of the people. So
people start working on their personal issues. And that's the
way I pastor. Man, if it's good enough for the pastor,
it's good enough for you. And I don't take a salary.
I've never taken a salary from the church. And and
that's not a lot of order. If you guys are
taking care of your pastors, keep doing it. But I've
(17:51):
just been so blessed from day one that God has
just reigned on me because I didn't have the heart
to to I don't want to say trick the people
because I don't want to accuse other passes of that.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
But I've been able to be honorable and honest.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yeah, and finances and that that that didn't that didn't
hurt us at all.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You did the rest Allen project.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
So should we be expecting any of your music just
you just put like for you just.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Oh yeah, I was the deer walking in the door.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Shout out to tyme, Scott Warner or 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 we start working on that.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
The middle of this month. Finish.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yeah, I'm eighty percent done, but yeah, I'm coming back again.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
And he's still John Picky still seemed like he was.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
He could back and said, nine, that's preserved the vocal
really good and I'm grateful for it.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Can you do me a favor?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Can you just re recording Lily in the Valley and
put it on the album.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I might be your age and say that it's good man.
I mean we were able to bless a generation that
remembers yeah wow.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
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 (19:16):
It was like, well, music, it's been a part of
me period. 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
(19:37):
to be annointed because I really can't remember times. I
remember Standing in Need of Prayer I wrote at Charlie
Reed's mother's.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
House in Oak Cliff, Texas.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I remember I was writing it for our artists out
of Houston by the name of gay Arbuckle, and so
I remember that one.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
But just.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
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 Fathouse studio. So certain songs I remember. My
(20:23):
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 there
was a time I didn't. I wanted the new music.
We were practicing new music and go out on the
road and I was literally offended that people were screaming.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Never shall forget Jesus was real.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, but you know, 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 (20:56):
Wow. So what's your favorite place to perform?
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Wow, this is gonna get me in trouble.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
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 or a packed park, and it's that sect
of people. And then I'll come back three weeks later
(21:31):
and that's a whole new crew. So maybe I'll get
to Atlanta invite everybody and everybody will come.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
So let me ask you this because I know, I know,
I've seen you, know Aline, I read reviews. So do
you think that it is a difference between performing and
the hurt and an actual venue or an arena.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Don't matter to me? They're the same, that same to
some artists, it's 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
(22:10):
I walk in the building, We're gonna bless the Lord
in it. So it doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
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 road without.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
This, my Sea Pap machine. I love it. That's girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
I caught her pap pap and look, I don't even
need it anymore.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
I snor on this gun.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Well, I was about one hundred and sixty three pounds
heav here when I first got on that.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
So yeah, so I gotta have my baby. She gotta
go with me. Wow.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
And I know you you got your black jacket all,
so it's there a so like, do you just feel
different when you dopeing forwar without your black jacket?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Man, I went somewhere and they didn't have my Two
weeks ago they left os or somewhere and I didn't
have my black jacket.
Speaker 4 (22:59):
I was upset. That's what I am.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Stellar Awards, Grammys, wherever I perform from now, and I'm
gonna have my black own.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
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 (23:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Okay, So let me ask you this. So, do you
enjog still performing at the Music Award shows?
Speaker 4 (23:24):
No, not at all.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
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.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Man.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
It's just more than camaraderie now it's comfort and I
get the respect. I'm not disrespected in any arena, even
from the young ones, the new bees, the old Beast, everybody.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
But wow, if I do it.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
My mindset is that I'm going to touch somebody on
TV that's not gonna be able to come to the
arena or to the concert. So that's the concept that
would make me possibly go in. I've duck too many opportunities.
I'm done when it comes to that, so it has
to be worth my time. Matter of fact, we're negotiating
(24:12):
something yesterday down in Jacksonville, a TV show for BT,
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 got to bring my crew.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
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 (24:36):
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
(24:57):
been stained ever since.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Well that's the key. I want to thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I want to thank you so much for coming on today,
thank you for sharing town with me today, Man, I
can I ask you key on the Jay Walkers?
Speaker 2 (25:08):

Speaker 4 (25:10):
