The Dark Side of Fame and Success: Jerry Dale on Music, Porn, and Jesus and the Road of Redemption
Description
In this episode, I have the great pleasure to speak to author, music industry leader, and storyteller Jerry Dale, also known as “JD” about his inspiring memoir “Music, Porn & Jesus: A Journey to Redemption” in which he talks about his personal experiences in the music industry and the dark side of fame.
In the 90s, Jerry worked with a wide range of top tier artists, including Destiny’s Child, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Maxwell, and Snoop Dogg. Being in that position brought him success, money, and fame, but it came also with a cost and a toll to his overall health.
Furthermore, JD was involved with the adult entertainment industry and outlines some of the dangers and challenges within that field and how many young women would start as waitresses and then be tempted to become dancers in a culture that prioritizes money and excess.
However, Jerry’s life story is one of second chances, redemption, and transformation. He was able to break free from the dark side of fame that had captured and trapped him in his young adult life and found himself back on the right and moral path. His book and this podcast are testament to how he has used his experiences not only to grow personally and spiritually but to openly share his experiences with everyone and to demonstrate how hope and redemption are never out of reach.
