This week, we're joined by Grammy-winning powerhouse vocalist, songwriter, and producer Isaac Carree. With a career spanning over three decades, Isaac’s journey is a masterclass in musical evolution and unwavering faith.  From his beginnings as a teenage prodigy with gospel legend John P. Kee, to his time as a member of the trailblazing group Men of Standard, Isaac shares the stories behind his rise to stardom. He opens up about the challenges and triumphs of his solo career, his eye-opening experiences touring with mainstream icons like Tim McGraw & Faith Hill and the Bad Boy Reunion Tour, and the valuable lessons he learned about the business of music.  Isaac recounts working on the remix to "Clean This House" with R&B legend R. Kelly — sharing a behind-the-scenes story of how the collaboration came to be and the profound compliment Kelly paid him, saying Isaac has a "flute in his throat."  Isaac also talks about the incredible, mutual admiration between his group, Men of Standard, and the legendary R&B group 112, revealing how they were huge fans of each other's music and even took inspiration from one another.  He gets candid about the struggles of stepping out as a solo artist after years of being in a group, battling fear and anxiety, and how the support of his mentor and friend, Kirk Franklin, was instrumental in his success. Kirk's belief in him, allowing him to open for major tours and celebrating his achievements, provided a crucial "layup" for his solo career.  Join us for a deep conversation that covers everything from the golden era of 90s R&B to the power of authentic relationships.  Press play now!
