Speaker 3 (02:51):
Sir, My pleasure to be here.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Thank you very much for the invitation. Oh, no problem,
no problem. Thanks for a stepping I know we had
a good conversation. We were busy mixed mingling and networking
there at the Virgin Hotel the shack room as we were,
you know, getting to know other folks that are in
the business with us, and I figure this will be
a great time to have you on the show now.

(03:15):
To be honest, you caught my attention very early because
when you said that you have a song out and
I was able to listen to it while we were
sitting there talking and have a discussion and being a
veteran myself the United States Marine Corps, it really shook
me to the court. I'll say you that I heard
the song is beautiful. We'll get to that in a second,

(03:35):
but then I knew we have some people that we
need to share with others on tonight, So I'm gonna
hand it over to you, Faith. I would like for
you to introduce yourself and let the audience know about you.
What's going on.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Well, my name is Straight Chence. I am an artist
in this world, not only artists of music, but I'm
a spiritual life culture meditation teacher as well.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
So God does all things well but fail.

Speaker 5 (04:04):
My job is to just like anybody else, love everybody
unconditionally and love everybody like Christ. I mean, that's really it,
really what it boils down to. Thank you for having
us on the show today. Yeah, no problem, no problem
at all getting into it. I know a couple of
things about we were sitting there talking and for one,

(04:25):
I know you're in the ministry spread the word and
a writer and a singer songwriter.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yes sir, Yes, sir. One question that I had for you,
what was your inspiration or how did you get into
writing songs and were singing. Was it somebody in your
family that actually introduced it to you or was it
just a natural bit where you were running around the
house just singing a lot.

Speaker 5 (04:47):
It's kind of interesting. I come from a lot of suffering,
and as I was being punished, as you could say,
my parents thought they were punishing me, but I was
Actually that's where I discovered music, and so I would
get you know, would get beaten back in the day
and then we get grounded. Well that's why I discovered music,
was in my room as I was grounded. And I've

(05:11):
been writing.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Writing, I believe, has been a thing for me since
I was like eight years old. So my mother, she said,
I've been singing since I was like three. A profession.
I've been writing and singing since I was eight. From
that time, it's just a matter of getting to know
who I was through my writing. Actually, my songs actually
used to be very sad at one point in time,

(05:35):
and going through the things I went through, coming in
not being brought up in religion or anything like that.
But God, I kind of discovered God, or God discovered me,
and it kind of woke me up and who I
am and who I've been made to be. And the
writing has always freed me. Writing has always freed me,

(05:56):
and I love writing. I love writing all genres of music. Now,
what's your first song that you have written? I know. Uh,
it's the first for everything, right, So we always remember
some of the first significant things that we have.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
You know, it's funny you bring that up. I remember
I was like six years old because I know my sister.
I talked to my sister a couple of years ago
and she goes, you remember the very first song you wrote?
She said, I still listened to that and it was
really corny back then, and I remember it was, how's
it go, Let's come together live in like stans One.

(06:31):
You're the seen is what we need? Why can't we
be just family?

Speaker 2 (06:35):
He goes, let me tell you, girl, it was really
corny back this like the first song I had from written.
Sometimes the first things that you write sometimes that's I
hear a lot of a lot of times were artists
I as a artist. Noel Gorgeen Uh yeah, song the

(06:56):
ripper Uh interviewed him years ago, right, Huh. We had
the same conversation and he was saying, there's some songs
that he has written years ago and it wasn't the Yeah,
it's things that happen in the world for the song
to be position in the right way for it to
be released in that day of time. So when I

(07:16):
was listening to that, when you were just singing that,
I think that is a now song, right right.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
I received that, and you know, it's funny you say that.
The thing about writing, somebody asked me on another podcast
I did. They said, what's your favorite genre of music
to write or what's your favorite genre to sing? I said, well,
first of all, I don't think music should be put
in a genre because it's medicine. And somebody might be

(07:45):
going through a hard time and they might need a
country song. I'll have a country song they need to
listen to. It might be an R and D song,
it might be a pop song. Music is just medicine.
It's just a frequency, you know.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
And kind of like what you said, a lot I
remember people used.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
To make fun of because they say, oh, it's cute,
the cute things that your positive music is going to
do something in this world because nobody wants to hear
that stuff.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
And I kind of always have ignored what people say
when it comes to those things because I feel those
things deep and when I write, I write, and once
I walk in, I lock in. And now it's interesting,
you know, after the pandemic, like you said, now people
are looking for songs like that. They're looking for songs
that they're going to motivate them. They're not. You know,

(08:31):
I say it all the time.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
The time for microwave music is over. People want they
want substance in their food now, you know.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
They want to be fed something that's going to leave
them with something to offer. You know, this microwave food
that we've.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
Been eating is it's just it's tearing the music up.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
It really is. And you know, of course I don't
knock any other artists, but myself, my job is to
make music that's going to give substance to people. That's
my job.

Speaker 5 (09:01):
And you're right, music it comes out, the frequency is
It comes out when people are ready to receive it.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah. I mean with the pandemic, I think there was
a reset in society. Me personally, I think we were
just going, going, going, going, just taking care of business.
Most of us had our heads down, most of them
had them up. We had a good run in society,
you know. But I think it was just God's way

(09:29):
of sitting us down for a minute and you know, refocusing.
So believe me when I say when you talk about
God and you two were talking about God and believing
in your faith. I'm right there along with you. I'm
a believer. I'm a Christian. And that's one thing that
me and my wife have in our lives and in
our kids' lives and our family is prayer. So I'm

(09:50):
not ashamed to admit it. You first want to jump
on board with you with that. The one thing about
that conversation, you know, with me being a spiritual life
coach and pat teacher, I'm not always able to say
the word God or Jesus or anything like that. It
says in the Bible. To help the week, you got
to sometimes be as the week, to help the show,

(10:12):
you have to be as a strong You have to
meet people where they are. I think a lot of
people are too religious and they can't really help people
where they are because they're kind of forgetting where they
came from. With me, as being a leader, I understand
that that's a frequency and I have to walk, talk,
and breathe in that frequency. And whether I want to

(10:33):
take responsibility or not, kids and other people are mimicking
things that I'm doing. I have celebrity friends that you
know back in the day, they would say, oh, that's
not I'm not trying to be nobody's role model. But
one thing that I do know, what frequency is, it's
already caught on to what people are copying and what
they're mimicking. So you are responsible for the frequency, and

(10:55):
you're also we're all felt to speak to different people
different ways. Like you said, we don't have to come
at him with you know, God, Jesus, the Bible, you know,
in a way to make them either feel bad or
put them in a position where they feel that their
start is up. When it's time to speak to somebody,
those words will flow. And each day, every time we
come across people, a good word and a good light

(11:18):
puts them in a good boom. So as long as,
like you said, love, love, more, love and love. So
when we first met, you said your name, and I
was like, when you introduce yourself, you said Faith Kent
And I took another pause and I was like, have
you ever been told that your name has ripped? I'm
a comic book dude, So fate doctor Faith Kent is

(11:41):
actually a comic book. There off you see comics that
was released back in nineteen forty You know that. Absolutely? Yeah,
So I was when people my name up, that's what
comes up? Doctor shape? Yeah. So I was like, and
I knew that years ago when I used to read
comic books, and I was like, right, what is sold is?
Is that your legal name? Is that? Your name? Stage name?

(12:03):
Is that? Was that? By chance? Was that purpose certificate?
All right? That's yeah, yeah, that's a good thing right there.
You know, as a kid, I've always been able to
I've kind of always had insight, and I was called

(12:25):
evil and weird and strange and all those different things.
But when I actually talk to God myself, you know,
not what people were telling me, I'm scary. I'm just that.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
One thing God pointed out to me is people fear
what they don't understand. And he said to me, no, baby,
your medicine. Your job is to introduce people to themselves.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
And so, you know, I look at my life now.
It's going on eight and a half years since I
worked for anybody, and I literally am a spiritual life
culture meditation teacher, and it's been very interested in these
last couple of years. A lot of my so I've
been working with for years, they never knew I sank,
They never knew I did any of this. They just
know me as a mentor, and when the Soldier song

(13:08):
came out and it went number one or whatever, they
were like, whoa you seing? Wow, you have a lot
of followers. Do you know who you are? And yeah,
you've never told us anything about this. Well, because when
I'm working with them, it's it's about them, it's not
about me. So when you're focused on a lane, you
have to stand the lane. And you know that's what

(13:30):
I do. I do. I stand the lane wherever God
puts me on standing.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
No, let me just give you one one ironic twist.
Is he actually is doctor Fate? We both have doctorate
in philosophy and humanity.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Yeah, absolutely, we do have that too. Good. Good, It's
always good to see that a positive reflection. I you
know what, I'm fad that you try and did Jeffrey.
I see how you too move the conversation with people.
Oh smiles the genuine can I say? Or that comes

(14:12):
off both? Again? How did you two meet? How did
you two get together? Was this a lifelong friendship or
was it something that Jeffrey saw you Fate? How did
the relation I grow with that? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (14:25):
Let me know, Okay, I have a background as an
actor and we are saying as a background as a singer,
and we are we are both auditions. I didn't know
him at the time, but we auditioned. Background of the
Olympics was here in Las Vegas for the where the
NBA basketball team will practice ing for the Olympics. In
Las Vegas. We've Carmelo Anthony was having his own clothing

(14:48):
line through Nike, through Michael George Michael Jordan that put
together new clothing lines. We are auditioned to be in
this commercial as the Mellows with Carmelo Anthony, and so
we met on this sat uh Hey. They basically casted
uh they've casted four of us and we came on
and set as the Mellows and we that venture. We

(15:11):
filmed the uh We filmed the commercial which won extremely well,
had a good run, and then we also did a
couple a couple of episodes on Sports back when Collin
cow Herds Show was in Bristol and Marcelli's Wireless this
show with Florisa Thompson was also in Bristol, so they
Lewis to Bristol, Connecticut. We did one episode of Colin

(15:34):
cow Herds Show and we did an episode that that
the other folks had so and so it carried for
a little while the that theme, and then I went
to a performance after we had finished with that run,
I went to a performance with and with with a
lady friend of mine and we wiped to see Fate

(15:54):
sing perform with with a baron at the time, and
the guy was secure energy, you know, I mean, NonStop movement,
the voice, never never breathed hard, nothing, so he performs.
I watched the performing and I was kind of amazed
at the energy level and he kind of won his way.
I went my way, and just recently we maybe in

(16:16):
the past year, because I've always been in contact with
him one way or not, I just didn't see him
and he didn't see me. But he we connected back
together and we, like you said, there was some senergy
that the senergy was still there. I saw still saw
that light and that talent that said float that shined
out of faith approached me and he saw that I

(16:38):
had made some upgrades and changes in my life, and
we talked about me being faith manager and we've been
winning ever since.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
That's what I'm talking about. That's what I've talked about. Greatness, recognized,
break and y'all have to put it together. Not Jeffrey,
do you sing as well? I mean he actually think it.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Well, I'm I'm I'm from I went singing. I went
to singing. I am an actress, so I did take
a singing lessons, But I'm no Fate Tent. Actually, actually
there's only one Fate Kent as a singer. Once you
hear some of his stuff, you'll realize that there is
no one else with that sound. And he has the
ability that one of the things that's really that's really

(17:19):
captivating a lot of people. And because I've been to
he's performed from the Miss America pageant and now they
won him for everything that they're doing, which was a
huge stage. He's performed down here in Las Vegas at
a place that's like a Broadway theater scenario where a
lot of the major players go to perform their original songs.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
It's called the Composer's.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Symposium of something to that effect. And so he performs.
He performed at some major stages here, and every time
he walks off day he has people approaching him like
he's a superstar. Because the music, his songwriting and the
music that he sings in his voice, he set it
set apart from other performers. A lot of people can sing,

(18:04):
but like you said, the personality and the life that
shine in other words, coming off the stage, he has
to shake everybody's hand, he has to look everybody in
the eye. Hey, let's take a picture together. Let's take
a picture. He treats them. And I had a celebrity
friend that was with me and she said, he's asking
people to take pictures of him. They need to be
asking him to take a picture with them. And I said, no, no, no,

(18:27):
he's gonna I said, Faith's gonna be faith.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
But you know he's you know, fake, You're will Crown.
I mean you look me, you understand who you are.
You know who you are, and uh, you know what
direction you're going. And like I said, I loved energy.
I saw how you moving when we were at the
networking event. We had a great time, great conversation. And
so you told me you're there. I'm saying, you gonna go.

(18:52):
God got more for you to do, Like this is
just the beginning to see that. I that I could
just see it. And hopefully you'll have time for me
and the grind when you get to where you're going
and we can get another interview down the road as well.
So absolutely, man. Thing the thing that you know people
do wrong is they forget where they started from. And

(19:15):
God keeps sending his hand on my head. You teach me.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
And the main thing, the main thing is my every
day practice. You know, that's where a lot of people
fall off.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
It says, daily's supposed to put on our our armor. Right.
So when I wake up in the morning, the first
thing I do. It's not like I have some superpowers,
but it's just I remember what it said in the Bible.
It said Jesus said, now that I've gone to the Father,
you'll do greater things than me, and you made in
my likeness right. So I believe that I live by that.

Speaker 5 (19:50):
And so when I wake up in the morning, I
don't go straight to the cell phone. I don't go
straight to the emails. I don't go straight to the text.
First thing I do I read my Bible like three
times a day.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Now I'm up four times a day, so I read
first thing I do, Thank God before I touch anything.

Speaker 5 (20:05):
God is letting me know that if you woke up,
you're my time clock. So you owe me a day
of purpose.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
So when I wake up.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
The first thing I do is I go and I read.
Then I do my affirmations.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Because what you speak over yourself is what you are right.
So I read, do my affirmations. I do a bunch
of healing modalities, you know, Chi kong and stuff like that,
and it's meditation. It's the key. It's the key.

Speaker 5 (20:31):
Christ is trying to tell everybody that you know, actually
would heal somebody to use up a lot of virtue,
but you got to replace it. You got to reset yourself.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
So I reset myself every single day all the time
because I work with clients all during the day and
use it. Around three o'clock is when I reset.

Speaker 5 (20:48):
I read again, meditate all over again, and I start over.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
So when it comes into the music world and stuff
like that, that's just a small part of who I am.
Because the music is huge. God has made it and
he's making it bigger than me. You know. I was
actually supposed to do the Soldier song for the ELMT,
not the Olympics, for the Super Bowl, but there were
some political things that went on. But there was a prophet.

(21:13):
I did another podcast and there was a prophet on
the podcast. He said, you know, God just showed me
that that song is going to be in many different
languages around the world, and it's going to be an anthem.
I said, I've received that in Jesus name. I received
that and whatever else God has for me. So yeah,
I really appreciate everything God first and everything else. Frou

(21:34):
was in place. Now grinders, you've heard Faith referred to
the song that he was singing. Now, the title of
the song is the Red, White and Blue. The label
if tell me if I'm correcting that the Ray Records?
Is that correct? Is it released on Little Rector? Okay? Say,
you can go to YouTube li Ray Records. You can

(21:54):
actually listen to that song. I've listened to it several times.
I'll followed the channel. So hurts you guys to go
out there and follow it as well. If you have
anybody that's in the military, has heard through your generations,
if he's lost anybody, this is a song that's really
gonna touch your heart. Now, I would like to ask you, Fate,

(22:16):
how did you come about to write it?

Speaker 1 (22:18):
Now?

Speaker 2 (22:18):
This gentleman that's in the video that's being interviewed, his
name is Ron Barrero. Hears that he's an Army veteran,
and eighty second ere born, and he's talk about Vietnam.
How did that video come together? How did that song burst?
How did it come about?

Speaker 5 (22:34):
So the first thing about that.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Talking about him, he's never spoke about his time and
nom ever, and most soldiers never talk about it, they
won't even bring it up. But after he heard the song,
he agreed.

Speaker 5 (22:48):
To do the interview. And his daughter actually interviewed him
in that interview, and she had never heard how this stuff.
She never heard that conversation.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Come out with mouse before. So she interviewed them and
she was kind of shocked herself, you know. And the
question she was asking her dad and he was responding
and she's just like, wow, you did that. And she
was pretty powerful. You know. The song itself is the
dead speaking to the living. The dead is speaking to
the living, reminding them that when you decided to sign,

(23:21):
when we decided to sign our name on the dotted line.

Speaker 5 (23:24):
We were not signing our name on the dotted line
because of political reasons. We did it for the flag,
we did it for America. We did it for our country.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
It wasn't nothing political about it. And that's what the song,
that's the dead speaking to the living in that song.
That's why it's impactful. I haven't met a soldier yet
that doesn't watch the video or looking to the song
and get emotional. It's because it's a release, it's a
dead reminding, you know, the living why you did what
you did and you're not a monster. It's a It

(24:00):
does speak to you, you know. You think about the
times that you've been deployed to spend time away from
your family. You've lost people that you probably hadn't been
able to come home and see prior to that. A
lot of sacrifice with families and not just life, just
a lot of things that you go through just living
and being away, and most folks don't realize that that

(24:23):
is a big sacrifice. You made a good point earlier,
you said, where you're at right now, it's important not
to forget where you came from. I want to share
with you a story I interviewed Nori Victorious. He's an actress,
director writer. At the time, she was on a Ricky
Smiley show, and I remember I was getting my start

(24:43):
in podcasting back in twenty fifteen twenty sixteen. In interviewing
a lot of people that knocked on doors, sent letters
just got the door closed on me. And one day
I saw her on Facebook. I said, well, let me
see if iut can interview Norri gaver a call and
guess who was on the other end. It was her,
answering her own phone. I'm like, this is Victoria. I

(25:07):
can't I said, well, you know, I'm trying to do this.
I'm trying to do looking somebody interview love you on
a Ricky Ricky Smiley show. H just want She said, sure,
you want to do it right now? You want to
like what She looked me up with my first interview,
and one of the things that she said was, I
appreciate the way you came at me. You're very professional,

(25:28):
and I like to give people breaks because I remember
where I was and what I went through to get
into the business, and I was like, amazing. So I'll
always remember that with missus Nory Victoria support all her
movies and everything. But I just wanted to share with you.
You made a very good, powerful point there, and it
hit home with me as well well, because we all

(25:50):
start from somewhere, you know, we all start from somewhere.
She wasn't always making the money she's making. We always
start We all start from somewhere. And I believe as
long as we sho stay grounded in that frequency, that
God allows us to wake up every morning and be
on His time clock. And as long as we remember that,
and you're right with the pandemic. You know, I prayed

(26:13):
about that alone time ago. I go, what was that
all about? Because for me it was a lot of
confusion and just kind of craziness. But when I prayed
about it, God said, he deleted the old program. He
deleted the old program. Millions of people died. Millions of
people died. One thing that I was shown that a
lot of religious leaders died. A lot of religious leaders

(26:36):
that were talking about you're going to Ham, you're a sinner,
A lot of them passed in twenty twenty and twenty
twenty one. It was like something was in the water
to where the ones that tried to pick up and
take up where they left off, that where they left
off that they died too. So still a lot of
things change God did to lead the program, and a

(26:57):
lot of us that are now here on the earth Earth.
It says in the Bible, it said the lastly first
and the first of the last.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
I believe very strongly. That's what's going on right now.
The ones that have are on the bottom with the
ones that's been the service the whole time, and the
ones that have been on top, they haven't been taking
care of their business, and so the role is switching
right now. People more, people like myself are rising in
that higher position. Myself and Jeffrey, we are rising into

(27:24):
that position so that we can actually do the right
things what the resources God blessed us with. I believe
that very strongly.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
So I know that for facts, you have a lot
of natural insight material. Here. Is there an album in
the works now that you have went out? Are you
working on a project right now you and Jeffrey or
working on a tour? What's in the immediate feature for
you guys?

Speaker 5 (27:51):
Absolutely, there's a lot of stuff going on right now.
You know Jeffrey's we were talking about the other day
how God just opened doors for us that most people
never even dream of getting to see. What my goal
is right now is I actually have a song coming out.
It's gonna be a birthday song.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Actually it's a it's a hype up pump up, it's
it's it's it's the funny birthday song I've ever heard.
It really is, it's gonna.

Speaker 5 (28:21):
It's really and that's a universal thing, just like the
Soldier song. It's a it's a universal thing. The birthday
song is a universal thing.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
And then I have another song I'm working on called flowers.
You know, given given everybody their fly flowers before they pass.
You know, a lot of times we take people for granted,
you know.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
But yeah, everything I have is we're working on it.
We definitely we're moving like snipers. You know, nobody's gonna
even expect what's coming out.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
You know, they're not even gonna see it coming because
it's been in the slow cooker, not the microwaves. And
the slow cooker you always get the best of everything, right,
and I believe very strongly God works in a slow cooker.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
That's why we get the best of it. Because it
took a long time, seasons just right. We're impatient, but
it's still staying there. We didn't quit, we didn't throw
it in the microwave, and we got what we deserved
and said what we should have settled for.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Now you two reference. I look at your social media faith,
I was checking it out, man, there's a common thing
between you and Jeffrey I noticed that, you know, both say, hey,
we're moving. We don't got God. We got that we
on that guide road. Had has there been a point
where Jeffrey had to balance out faith? They're not ready
for that faith, they're not ready for it. We got
to release that for it. There's something you want to

(29:35):
do with he Both of you were looking at each
other saying, you know, it's like a pendulum, right. I
may want to move fast, but Jeffrey may be like, mm,
that's go down for a second. It's not the right time.
Have you ever had that the industry or just being
together so far working together? Or was it at the
right time for something you had to wait on it.

(29:56):
The main thing about us is the way we move
is everything that we've done. You know, we always say
the same thing in every meeting and everything we're doing.
It's always we're looking for surprise blessings. So we that's
all we talk about.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
So we don't we don't have an agenda like most people.
You know, you know, my wife is saying, so what
do you want to what? You know, what do you
want to come out this meeting?

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Uh? Surprise blessings? As it right? You know that's something
that you know, when I met Jeffrey, he.

Speaker 5 (30:33):
Brought that up to me about surprise blessings, and hey,
that's what it is. And when you ask for surprise blessing,
you don't know what God's going to give you, but
you gave him full room to operate. So we always
and once we receive a blessing, we saw down to
appreciate it. See that's the problem.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
A lot.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
We'll pray and pray and pray God to answer your prayer,
but you don't even slow down to thank him for it. Now,
well we'll slow down and think him.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
We'll slow down, and you know, Jeffrey can tell you like, okay, wow,
look how God did that? Like wow, we stopped right
what we're doing, stop right where we are, and.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
We thank them. This isn't This isn't every day thing.
A lot of people they treat gods or something like that.
But no, this I am a church, Jeffrey is a church.
You are a church with a reflection of what people
might not even see sometimes. But we but we are

(31:34):
responsible for that frequency we put out there. But yeah,
we we we always say that surprise blessings and Jesus
means to all the time. That's why we continue being
blessed to physics and we don't have a surprise blessings.
You don't know how many of you are looking and

(31:55):
kill many things that most preople have never seen before.
Was good to uh see two strong men together operating
in God and making moves. Is there a website that
anybody can visit? You have a website of faith or
